DE19729043A1 - Additive for funeral coffin containing corpse - Google Patents

Abstract

The enclosed bag or capsule (11) is made of material which is initially waterproof, is regarded as biologically safe and which decomposes with time. The contents (12) of the envelope are also biologically safe and incorporate in part a biomass which is activated by damp for biologically decomposing organic substances. The filling of the bag consists at least partly of activated sludge or finely crumbled compost gently dried at a maximum temperature of 40 degrees C, or consists of pure cultures of micro-organisms. The bag may be in the form of a blister pack.

Description

At a funeral, the coffin with the body is either buried in a burial chamber made of precast concrete exists and is mostly completely embedded in the earth, or the coffin is buried in an earth tomb for one Pit has been dug after the funeral of the Sarges is backfilled with the excavation.

The decomposition of the corpse continues at the latest after the case the coffin is placed in the burial chamber or in the earth tomb. The intensity with which decomposition sets in and the fort step of decay, and ultimately the decay duration and the resulting minimum rest period depends very much depends on whether on the body and in its environment sufficient microorganisms are available for ver care and what living conditions the ver find different microorganisms. With unfavorable Conditions can decay and / or delayed use run with a delay. This can provide the necessary rest extend the deadline for the body and the grave site first after a longer period of time again for a new burial be available.

The invention has for its object to insert body create by means of which the onset of decay and the progress of which can be improved.

This task is accomplished by insert bodies with the in claim 1 specified features solved.

These inserts can be placed in the coffin and / or they can be in the burial chamber or in the pit of the Earth grave in the vicinity of the coffin to be settled. Because the filling of the insert body is a biomass  contains moisture due to the breakdown of organic Substances are activated, the conditions for both Start of decay as well as for its progress considerable Lich improved. The fact that the cover of the insert is impermeable to water in the early stages, the Insert body in a dry environment for a certain Time period are stored and thus kept in stock become. Characterized in that the casing from one material is the moisture ingress over time is biodegradable, sets soon after the burial of the Dismantle the shell, since at least the body is larger Secretes amounts of moisture and at an earth burial by seeping surface water or by ground sufficient moisture around the coffin occurs. At the latest when the cover is inserted through the degradation processes can leak, moisture can to a greater extent also get to the filling and this bio logically activate. This improves the decomposition processes of the corpse and the processes of dismantling the coffin wood.

Refinements according to claim 2 or claim 3 deliver bei Layers that are easy to handle. With a Ausge Design according to claim 4, the insert body in groups summarized. By further training these supplements Body according to claim 5, the insert body can still easily divide into smaller groups or completely.

In an embodiment according to claim 6 or claim 7 the inserts can be made relatively cheap become.

In an embodiment according to claim 8, the case a filling with a particularly high concentration tration of activatable microorganisms. With that, ent neither the quantities of the inserts required for each burial be reduced or at burials with biological The decomposition of the  Corpses and the decay of the coffin are still sufficient to be initiated and continued.

In the following the invention based on several in the Drawing illustrated embodiments closer explained. Show it:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an insert body in the form of a bag.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a Beilegekörpers in capsule form;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a group of insert bodies in the form of a partially open Darge Bliesterpack.

The insert body 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a sleeve 11 in the form of a bag and a filling 12 introduced therein before the sleeve 11 is closed.

The sleeve 11 has the shape of a bag. It is made of a film that is impermeable to water. The material of the shell 11 must be biologically harmless, ie it must not interfere with biodegradation processes, and it itself must be biodegradable over time in the presence of moisture. Depending on the other properties of this material, the sleeve 11 is produced by welding and sealed by welding after the filling has been introduced, or an adhesive is used for this, which in turn is biologically harmless and is biodegradable.

The filling 12 consists of activated sludge, which has been gently dried at a maximum of 40 ° C., so that the microorganisms contained therein have passed into a state of rest, while maintaining their viability, from which they return to the active state when moisture has entered.

The insert body 15 shown in FIG. 2 has a capsule shape. It also has a shell that is impermeable to water in the early stages, which is biologically harmless and which is biodegradable in the course of time in the event of moisture. The filling of the capsule-shaped insert body 15 also consists of activated sludge which has been gently dried at a maximum of 40 ° C.

From Fig. 3 is a group of inserts 20 ersicht Lich, which together have the shape of a blister pack.

The individual insert bodies 20 have a casing 21 and a filling 22 .

The sleeve 21 is formed from a lower part 23 and an upper part 24 . The lower part 23 has trough-like Ver recesses 25 which are cut 26 surrounded by planar Flachab. In the area of the surface sections 26 , the lower part 23 is tightly connected to the flat upper part 24 . Depending on the type of material of the lower part 23 and the upper part 24 , the two parts are connected to one another by a welding process or by gluing using a biologically safe and biodegradable adhesive.

The filling 22 again consists of activated sludge, which has been gently dried at a maximum of 40 ° C.

Depending on the size of the individual insert body 20 and thus the total size of the blister pack to which they are combined, it is expedient for some of the insert body 20 or all at least on the lower part 23 in the longitudinal direction and / or in the transverse direction of the blister pack Provide running notches 27 , along the course of which the strength of the lower part 23 is reduced, so that break grooves are formed to a certain extent, which facilitates the division of the blister pack into smaller groups or into individual insert bodies 20 . Instead of the notches 27 , rows of perforations can also be used.

With all inserts, the filling can also be made of fine consist of crumbly compost that is gentle at a maximum of 40 ° C has been dried. The filling can also be done by Pure cultures of microorganisms are formed by Moisture for the biodegradation of organic substances to be activated. However, the pure cultures can also be used as Mix with the activated sludge or compost be det.
