Grave alarm ipr
This patent from 1893 describes a "grave alarm" invention intended to prevent people from being buried alive by mistake. The device consists of a tube extending from inside the coffin to above the surface of the grave. It is connected to a spring-loaded flag and linkage within the coffin. If the person regains consciousness after burial and pulls on a cord, it will activate the alarm above ground and also provide fresh air through the tubes to sustain life until help arrives. The goal was to provide a way for people who were wrongly declared dead or in a coma to signal that they are still alive and need assistance.

- 6. Grave AlarmGrave Alarm Borderingon the bizarre, the U.S. patents described here reflect a concern on the part of some that persons might be buried prematurely. It was feared that the vital signs of persons in a coma or “suspended animation” would not be detected. As embalming became more widespread, this concern became a moot point, except, perhaps, to the most gullible.

- 8. The PatentThe Patent In1893, a patent was granted to Adalbert Kwiatkowski, of Germany, for a coffin signal using a long spring loaded flag within a tube extending to the surface and a complex linkage with a bridle resting on the forehead of the corpse and ropes around the hands.
- 10. What is itaboutWhat is it about The invention relates to improvements in Grave Alarms whereby the persons who are prematurely buried before life is extinct can sound an alarm thus notifying the cemetery officials of the fact The object of the invention is not only to provide means of sounding alarm but also to provide improved construction whereby fresh air is supplied to person prematurely buried so that life can be sustained until help arrives.

After a sufficient length of time has elapsed, so that it will be positively certain that death has taken place, the housing and the tube 6 can be disconnected from tube 2. And hence the apparatus can be readily used again and again
- 14. ConclusionConclusion Though it isone of strange inventions it shows one human feeling the most which is “hope”
