Description

Glass commemorative object and method of its production

Technical field

The invention relates to a glass commemorative object for the dignified preservation of a memorial from cremated remains of humans or cremated remains of animals.

The invention also relates to a method for producing a glass commemorative object for the dignified preservation of a memorial from cremated remains of humans or cremated remains of animals, which is first shaped and, after shaping, the finished product is cooled.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are many possibilities, inventions and utility models dealing with the preservation of ashes from the cremated remains of humans, recently animals. There are many solutions of urns, columbariums, storage boxes of various materials such as metal, wood, plastic. Recently, glass urns have appeared which are shaped like most urns from other materials, ie they are hollow containers with lids made of opaque material so that the remains are not visible from aesthetic point of view.

E.g. In US 14,752, there is disclosed a vessel for a burial burial which is placed in official receptacles and is formed by a solid bottom having walls and a lid formed of molten and slowly cooled and thus crystallized silicate rock. The lid may be provided with a lockable closure. The bottom of the container may be provided with attachments for attachment to a solid foundation.

In CZ UV 17 451 a glass hollow uma is described, consisting of a urn body and further comprising at least one metal layer deposited on at least one side of the body, according to an exemplary embodiment, a metal layer is applied to the glass surface by vacuum. The purpose is apparently opaque glass and color effect glass umy.

Examples of technical solution

Example 1

Giant. 1 to le

As a dignified solution to the memory of the deceased, for more loved ones, glass commemorative objects 1, in this exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1f to 1e, are intended. The glass memorial articles 1 are made of a solid base glass 2 without an internal cavity. The base glass 2 is a sodium-potassium crystal colorless transparent glass. Inside the massive base glass 2 there is a commemorative element 3 formed by melting a small amount of ash 4 from the cremated remains of the deceased into the colorless base glass 2. By melting ash 4 into the base glass 2 a very fine whitish decor of the commemorative element 3 is formed. Surroundings. The retentive element 1 may also be formed by mixing the powdered ash 4 of the cremation remains and the crushed glass color frit 5, and sealing them into the base glass 2, thereby producing a combination of fine color decoration. As colored glass frits 5, colored glass obtained from a base glass 2 dyed with decent blue obtained by a small amount of a strongly colored cobalt oxide can be used. This will create unique and very beautiful memorial items with the possibility of placement in exterior and interior, and shape and make according to the wishes of clients.

The glass commemorative object shown in Fig. 1f is formed as a massive glass sphere with a molten commemorative element 3 of the helical shape.

The glass commemorative element 1 shown in Fig. 1g represents a massive egg-shaped glass object with a fancy commemorative element 3.

The glass commemorative element 1 shown in Fig. 1h shows a massive egg-shaped glass object with a spiral commemorative element 3.

The glass commemorative element 1 shown in Fig. 11 is a massive glass article representing a glass memorial tear with a spiral commemorative element 3.

The glass commemorative articles I were obtained by an exemplary process, illustrated schematically in Figures 1a to 1e.

FIG. 1a is a drawing of a molten glass onto a glass pipe. From a glass furnace or pan (not shown), the glassmaker acquires sodium-potassium crystal glass at a temperature of 1100 to 1250 ° C. In Fig. 1b, a small amount of ash 4 from the cremated remains of the deceased is prepared on a support, for example an iron plate. This ash 4 needs to be sorted, free of metal and other non-combustible components, and a very fine ash 4 of powder consistency must be prepared. Alternatively, the ash 4 may optionally be preheated to a temperature of about 400 ° C before being packed onto the glass.

Further, a colored blue glass frit 5 obtained from the base glass 2 by cobalt oxide staining is prepared on the support. Thus, the frit 5 has the same coefficient _{α 20} o oo c of the mean linear thermal expansion with the base glass 2, which is ideal for eliminating the deformation at the contact between the two types of glasses when they are joined.

The glassmaker packs a mixture of ash 2 and glass frit 5, in an amount of, for example, 0.0001 to 2.0%, up to a maximum of 20% by weight of the total weight of the commemorative object 1, onto a hot glass molten glass bulb. by lightly pressing on the mat into the surface of the molten glass. The glassmaker subsequently heats the meltblower of the base glass 2 with the packed ash mixture 4 and the glass frit 5 for a longer period of time in the glass furnace and at a temperature until the ash 4 is whitened and the frit 5 is melted, as shown in Fig. 1c. Throughout the heating period, the glassmaker continues to turn the glass whistle to prevent the glass from running out of the whistle. Doing so

The glass melt with a mixture of ash 4 and frit 5 is shaped by various glass metallurgical techniques to obtain the design of the commemorative element 3, using glass tools, such as twisting glass scissors, needling, pulling or "combing" tweezers.

The glassblower takes at least one batch of the enamel of the base glass 2 on the glass parison thus obtained, and then hand-molding is carried out by means of paper or a wooden preform, the so-called muscles. For the paper technique, several layers of wet paper are needed, which are held by the glassmaker in the palm of the hand and which form the final product and "smooth" it. The muscles utilize a moistened wooden preform of the "muscle" in which the glass on the whistle "muscles" and "rolls" while rotating to obtain the outer surface of the final product, for example as shown in Figure 1e.

The ash itself, after being taken over by the second layer of glass of the base glass 2, releases gas from the organic residue, causing miniature bubbles on the surface of the very whitened ash 4, and in combination with the molten color frit 4 creates an extraordinarily beautiful display of finite element 3 in the massive base glass 2 .

The final product is released from the glass dome shown in FIG. 1e between the glass product and the whistle, and the glass product is cooled in a tempering furnace to avoid glass stress and to prevent the glass from cracking. Keeping the cooling curve for a given type of glass, this massive glass product becomes almost unbreakable. For example, glass articles of the type described, up to a diameter of 10 cm, are cooled for about 8 hours.

Further, the chilled product, the glass commemorative object 1, can be ground on the underside to achieve stability when placed on a flat support.

Further, the glass commemorative object 1 can be further refined on a suitable part of the external surface by glass refining techniques, such as plating, painting, printing, decal, printing, painting, engraving, grinding, painting, matting, sanding, pressing, ceramic and / or coating. or ceramic glass layers or coatings, by metallurgical decoration or polishing of the external surface. E.g. the glass sacred object may be painted on the outer surface of the surface with a protective layer against abrasion and weathering. A portion of the outer surface may be silvered so that the silvered layer mirrors the commemorative element 3, for example when viewed from one side. A portion of the outer surface may be gilded, irradiated with metal layers. Painting, printing, decal, sandblasting or matt techniques can be used to provide the appropriate memorabilia, photographs and illustrations related to the deceased on suitable parts of the external surface. Engraving, grinding, sanding or pressing can be used to supply alphanumeric data, data, information, quotes, poetry, in connection with the deceased's memory. When exposed to the glass commemorative object 1, the outer surface may be provided with a protective layer against external influences and / or the outer surface may be tempered against external influences, eg by quenching.

Glass commemorative objects 1 of this type can be displayed on a glass or wooden base which can be provided with backlight to achieve a light effect.

In addition, the glass memorial articles 1 of the solid base glass 2 act as a glass lens and enlarge the inner memorial element 3.

Example 2 FIG. 2a to 2h

The exemplary commemorative glass object 1 shown in Fig. 2h is made of a solid base glass 2 without internal cavities, shaped as a two-arm glass candlestick with glass stickers, glued to a pedestal and provided with a candle tray at the top. The base glass 2 is, for example, clear, colorless lead crystal. In the exemplary embodiment, the retentive element 3 is made of a mixture of incremental ash 4 of cremation remains and a mixture of colored glass frit 5 with luminescent elements.

2a to 2g is the same as in the previous exemplary embodiment with several differences. The scaled hot glass of the lead crystal has a lower scoop temperature, about 1100 ° C, depending on the lead oxide content. Highly lead crystals may also be used. It is appropriate to use the same type of lead crystal for both the base glass 2 and the colored glass frit 5 so that the coefficient a ₂₀ ° _{C of the} mean linear thermal expansion of the two types of glass is equal or very close to reduce stresses on the finished product. Fig. 2f shows a shaped glass parison for a two-arm candlestick, Fig. 2g shows an elongated glass parison for a candlestick with glass stickers on both arms. FIG. 2h shows a finished product having a glass bowl on top of it, which can be bonded by thermoforming or can be additionally bonded to the cooled product by means of a UV curable adhesive. The lower part of the candlestick can be ground to be glued to a glass stand or a stand made of other material, eg wood, metal, etc. Candlestick made of high quality lead crystal has a high refractive index, so it refracts the incident light, which gives a high gloss of glass. The retentive element 3 has luminescent properties, i.e. it can glow for up to 6 hours in the dark after exposure to sunlight or light.

Example 3

Giant. 3a to 3h

A glass commemorative object 1 in the form of a massive glass quadrilateral pyramid, pyramid, is shown in Fig. 3g. It is made, for example, of a sodium-potassium colorless and clear base glass 2, with a commemorative element 3 formed by fusing powder ash 2 from cremation remains of humans or animals and colored frit 5 or colored shards, with a fanciful design created during shaping.

A pyramid-shaped glass commemorative object 1 is made, for example, by the following procedure shown in Figures 3 to 3f.

Fig. 3a is a schematic illustration of the pickup of a molten glass of sodium potassium potassium at a temperature of about 1200 to 1250 ° C per glass rod at the end. The glass must be sufficiently fluid for subsequent casting into the pyramidal metal glass mold shown in Figure 3b. The molten molten glass gently flows from the surface of the ball on the rod into a preformed metal mold in the desired shape, in an exemplary pyramid shape. The glass form in this case may also be another geometrical figure, eg a block, a cube, a cylinder, a hemisphere, etc. The glass is filled into about 2/3 of this mold as shown in Fig. 3c. A very small amount of powder ash 4, as shown in Fig. 3d, or a small amount of colored glass frit 5 or crushed colored glass fragments, is then poured onto the center of the glass surface in the mold to enhance the molten ash 4 into the base glass 2. use a luminescent color glass frit 5 to achieve a light effect in the dark. The use of glass tools is used to create the design of the future commemorative element 3. according to FIG. 3e, a seat is used to make the glass in the form of puncture, which will bring ash 4 and glass frit 5 deeper into the glass in glass form. Finally, another layer of hot glass of the base glass 2 is poured into the glass mold, which sealed the ash 4 and the frit 5 into the base glass as shown in FIG. 3f. The enamel surface must then be smoothed and pressed into the mold. After partially cooling, the glass casting is swung out of the mold and further cooled in a tempering furnace to avoid stress in the glass. For these types of products up to a diameter of 190 cm, it is cooled for example around 8 hours. The chilled glass sacred object 1 shown in Fig. 3h can further be refined on the outer surface, for example by surface grinding on all 5 surfaces. Sanding can be followed by polishing to achieve optical and mirror effects.

Example 4 FIG. 4a to 4h

A glass commemorative object 1 in the form of a massive glass pendant is shown in Fig. 4h. It is made, for example, from Simax borosilicate base glass, other types of glass can also be used. Borosilicate glass type Simax is a transparent glass of finely colored, harder type of glass, characterized by higher strength than common commercial glass, resistance to mechanical wear and to thermal shocks. The glass pendant has a fancy pious element 3 formed in the solid base glass 2 formed by melting ash 4 from the cremation remains. Further, other elements, such as natural minerals or silver, are colored into or outside the memorial element 3, which color the base glass during heat treatment.

The pendant-shaped glass commemorative object 1 is made, for example, by the following procedure shown in Figures 4a to 4g.

The glass tweezers grip the required piece of cold Simax borosilicate base glass 2 in the form of a glass tube, it may also be a glass rod or flat blank as shown in Fig. 4a. Subsequently, the glass tube is carefully heated by the flame of an oxygen burner at 1400 ° C until the glass is softened, schematically shown in Fig. 4b. Furthermore, it is necessary to pre-prepare the pre-heated glass yarn from the base glass 2 of the same type by the same procedure as described and illustrated in Figs. 4a, 4b. A fine powdered ash of cremation remains 4 and crushed minerals or silver, mixed with water, as shown in Fig. 4c, must also be prepared beforehand. Subsequently, the pre-prepared ash 4 and the minerals or silver are wrapped on the molten glass on the tweezers, pressed gently into the glass surface and heated to whiten the ash and melt the minerals or silver as shown in Fig. 4d. Giant. 4e shows the wrapping of the heated glass yarn by means of tweezers on the surface of the softened glass from the glass tube held by the glassmaker in the second tweezer. This operation may be repeated several times. As a result, the ash 4 is sealed in the base glass 2. The entire glass part must be thoroughly heated to melt and sinter the yarn on the surface of the base glass 2 so as to obtain a smooth outer surface. The glass part may be further processed by heat using a glass tool, it may be flattened with pliers, or it may be cut with a scissor of the desired shape. The glass part may further be hot worked by squeezing, bending, or stretching into the final desired shape. The final glass commemorative object 1 may then serve as a glass hinge, for example, for a glass candlestick, or as a pendant after hot application of the glass handle.

In the case of flat glass blanks (not shown), ash 4 or glass frit 5, minerals or silver is inserted between the two glass blanks, which are then thermally bonded and possibly overlaid with an additional layer of glass from both sides.

In the case of borosilicate base glass 2, the finished product is cooled, eg in Sibral type mineral fiber insulation boards, depending on the size and type of the product. For small products, eg pendants up to 1 cm in diameter, cool for about 30 minutes. The cooled product does not have to be further worked, part of the outer surface can be refined as required, eg by grinding, sanding, engraving, painting, metal plating, etc. The pendants can also be used as stickers for glass candlesticks etc.

In the case of flat glass blanks (not shown), ash 4 or glass frit 5, minerals or silver is inserted between the two glass blanks, which are then thermally bonded and possibly overlaid with an additional layer of glass from both sides.

In the case of borosilicate base glass 2, the finished product is cooled, eg in Sibral type mineral fiber insulation boards, depending on the size and type of the product. For small products, eg pendants up to 1 cm in diameter, cool for about 30 minutes. The chilled product does not need to be further worked; a part of the outer surface can be refined, e.g.
