Casket hardware attachment structure

Hardware adapted to be attached to a wall of a casket shell of a casket, the hardware comprising:

• a clevis having a pair of side walls and a back wall adapted to be attached to the wall of the casket shell, the clevis having a pair of tabs each of which extends laterally outwardly from a respective one of the side walls of the clevis and each of which is spaced forwardly from the back wall of the clevis,
• an arm pivoted at an upper end to the clevis, and
• a decorative ear having a downwardly facing recess in a lower edge thereof and a pair of generally horizontally oriented grooves each of which is located in a respective side of the downwardly facing recess, the decorative ear having a partial back wall section extending laterally inwardly from each side of the downwardly facing recess, each partial back wall section becoming progressively thinner from a point laterally inward of a respective side of the downwardly facing recess to a free edge thereof as measured in a direction generally normal to the wall of the casket shell,
• each side wall of the clevis having a generally horizontally oriented rib extending laterally outwardly from the side wall,
• wherein a relative movement between the decorative ear and the clevis generally parallel to the wall of the casket shell to receive the clevis in the downwardly facing recess causes a wedging effect.
