Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
In a connecting system in a crypt building structure for retaining a plurality of substantially similar slab elements in position on a generally upright grid composed of a plurality of spaced walls, the combination comprising: vertical channel members vertically and forwardly adjustably connected to the edges of the spaced walls; support means attached to adjacent ones of said channel members for supporting each slab element; at least one crypt cover slab; hanger members attached to opposing vertical side walls of said cover slab at the same reference distance from the front surface of the slab; extending rearwardly of the slab to which the hanger member is attached, vertically spaced protruding reference surfaces on said hanger members cooperating with a vertically extending alignment surface of said channel member to thereby reference said front surface of the slab to the channel member, said support means and hanger member providing a pin and sloping ledge surface connection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein the hanger members each comprise an elongated member providing said vertically spaced reference surfaces; and the opposing vertical side walls of said cover slab have recesses to accommodate each hanger member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination of claim 2 wherein each hanger includes a ledge surface thereon slanting upwardly toward the front of the slab for cooperation with a horizontal pin on said channel member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
