Abstract
A pendant for hermetically sealing the crematory remains, hair samples or the like of a loved one or pet, utilizing threaded fasteners and a sealing member to fasten and seal first and second housing elements together, preserving the contents there within.
Description
- The present invention relates to preserving crematory remains, a hair sample or the like. Specifically this invention relates to hermetically preserving the organic remains in a decorative jewelry-pendant for attachment to a neck chain, maintaining the remains in close proximity to the holder thereof.
- Cremation of the remains of humans and animals, such as pets, has now become a common alternative for preservation and burial of the deceased. The ashes of the cremated decedent are sometimes distributed in accordance with the wishes of the decedent, but can also be deposited in urns for storage and memorialization purposes. The urns may be retained by the family in a home or other location, or held in permanent storage in a mausoleum.
- One example of a storage container for human remains is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,287,603 to Schorman. The '603 patent describes a storage container for human ashes that includes a bottom portion, a plurality of walls, a rim portion, a cover which fits into a recessed portion of the rim portion, a retainer portion which retains the cover within the recessed portion, and fastener means to fasten the retainer portion to the cover. The cover can include indicia or other decoration. One disadvantage of the container of the '603 patent is that the boxy structure of the container is designed for assemblage with other containers and suitable only for use in a mausoleum type setting and would not be desirable for a stand alone display. Furthermore, the container is placed on a shelf or other suitable storage location wherein it is visited on occasion by those who so desire, and cannot easily be transported or carried around by one who may wish to retain the remains near their person.
- In the alternative, U.S. Pat. No. 5,755,116 to Sparacino et al. discloses remembrance preserving jewelry and method for its use, comprising a chamber for sealing a sample there within. The invention utilizes interconnecting front and rear housing members, wherein the ashes are placed there between and sealed by means of either silicone sealant, or a threaded connection. Other crematory pendants historically, have been sealed by means of a stopper, or jewelers epoxy, and although sufficient sealing may be achieved through these means, it is possible that the threaded cover, alone, may not create an adequate seal, or that the silicone seal may deteriorate, exposing the organic remains to the outside.
- Furthermore, if a silicone sealant or epoxy is utilized, during assemblage, it may come in contact with the contents intended to be contained therein, which is undesirable. It is therefore beneficial to create a jewelry pendant containing the crematory ashes or other organic remembrances of a loved one utilizing other sealing means of maintaining the contents therein, eliminating the possibility of inadvertent exposure of the organic remains to the outside, while preserving the integrity of the contents during assemblage of the pendant. The present invention is directed to meeting these needs, among others.
- It is an object of the present invention to create a hermetically sealed jewelry pendant, including a first housing element, a second housing element, and a sealing member, for containing the ashes or other organic remembrances of a loved one or pet there within.
- It is a further object of the present invention is to create a jewelry pendant which comprises a variety of aesthetical shapes, including but not limited to hearts, crosses, or teardrop shapes.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a sealed container which will not damage the contents stored within during assembly, while still providing a secure concealment.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a hermetically sealed jewelry pendant, which can be readily disassembled.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a sealing means for manufacturing the hermetically-sealed jewelry pendant, utilizing a rubber gasket and one or more fasteners, for precisely sealing the two housing members together.
- A final object of the present invention is to provide a hermetically sealed pendant for containing the ashes or other organic remembrances of a loved one or pet therein, whereby the sealing member is concealed by the first and second housing elements.
- These and other objects are accomplished in the present invention by providing a capsule comprising front and rear housing elements, having continuous adjoining edges, that are sealed with a rubber sealing member and fastened together once the desired organic sample is contained there between.
- Further areas of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the preferred embodiment of the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
