Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
216 words
Mountings for individually removable fronts of a vertical wall of a mausoleum structure compartmented by vertical and horizontal concrete partitions into rows and vertical tiers of individual crypts, said fronts having rear surface corner areas precut to provide a uniform thickness thereat, each of said mountings comprising a backing plate embedded in a layer of cement applied to said structure at an intersection of said partitions, each backing plate having an exposed flat surface aligned in a common predetermined vertical plane a bracket having a flat body portion lying flat against said exposed surface of each of said backing plates, fastening means extending through said body portion and backing plate into said structure to anchor the bracket to said structure, said bracket having a horizontal ledge extending at right angles to said body portion for supporting a bottom edge of one of said fronts, a shoulder projecting a predetermined distance from said body portion to engage said precut rear surface area of the front, and a boss associated with said ledge having an internally threaded bore for removably engaging a rosette center screw therein, whereby said shoulder serves to positively align a forward facing surface of said front in a plane parallel to said predetermined plane when a rosette is tightened by its said center screw.

The mounting defined in claim 1 in which said ledge extends from opposite sides of said boss and a rib extends vertically from said boss for locating two adjacent fronts on said ledge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
The mounting defined in claim 1 in which said boss is located symmetrically on a midportion of sAid ledge and a rib extends upwardly and downwardly from the boss, said shoulder being sectionalized in four parts, one located in each quadrant defined by said ledge and rib, whereby the bracket serves as a four corner juncture.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
The mounting defined in claim 1 in which said boss is located symmetrically on a midportion of said ledge and a rib extends vertically in one direction from the boss, said shoulder being sectionalized in three parts, two parts being located in each quadrant defined by said ledge and rib, whereby the bracket serves as a two corner juncture of fronts on one tier and a midline of a double front on an adjacent tier.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
