Abstract
Abstract An improved system for the inhumation of corpses which comprehends the use in combination of a group of drawers, honeycomb shaped, prefereably of reinforced concrete, waterproof, with calculated foundations and with inclination to unload; a drainage through a plastic tube, or of any other material, connecting to a bag of the same material or any other of another choice, destined to contain hermetically, cadaveric residuals; an access valve to the tube permiting the introduction into same of chemical dissolvent products, with the fundamental purpose of avoiding air contamination; a septic pit acting as final recipient of the drainage tube; an injection valve with direct access to the coffin, that permits the introduction into it of products or chemical elements, disinfectants, disintegrators or dissolvents, in case of premature exhumation or with any other purpose; and a valve or connecting faucet to the tube serving as drainage to isolate every connection with the other drawers, and exterior lids, also on reinforced concrete, hermetical and ornamented on the exterior.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
An apparatus for the elimination of organic residuals in the inhumation of a plurality of corpse-containing coffins, comprising: a plurality of vertically arranged drawers, each drawer having an entranceway allowing the coffin to be placed therein, and each drawer having an internal inclination for drainage purposes for eliminating the organic residuals; a plastic or polyethylene bag completely surrounding and hermetically sealing each of the coffins; a common septic pit; a tubing means connected to the interior of each of the coffins and passing through each of said bags for transporting the organic residuals to said septic pit and for isolating the organic residuals contained in every coffin from each other coffin; a separate injection valve means connected to each of the coffins and passing through said hermetically sealed plastic bag for allowing a chemical composition to be repeatedly introduced to each coffin for the purpose of disinfection and the prevention of air contamination, wherein each of the coffins utilizes a different injection valve means than every other coffin; and hermetically sealed exterior lids for closing the entranceway of each of said drawers when a coffin is introduced therein.
