DE202005005267U1 - Urn, made of water permeable material and comprising light permeable lid for prevention of soil contamination - Google Patents

Abstract

The urn (1) is made of a porous material and has a stepped inner surface (2, 3). The ashes, containing toxic substances, in particular heavy metals, are positioned on top of the steps (3) and provided with moisture through the walls. A vegetation is created inside the urn (1) using the light coming in through the transparent lid (4) and converting the toxic substances before entering the soil. The urn (1) is inserted into the ground and the lid (4) secured on top of a profile (5), surrounding the upper edge, with a wedge-shaped projection.

Description

The Invention relates to a burial urn for storing dead ashes, consisting of a receptacle and a this final one Cover.

The Cremation corresponds to the state of modern industrial technology. It is enough Furthermore, it is hygienic and is used by most of the world religions accepted. Therefore, the cremation was within a few decades to a widespread kind of burial.

The therefor needed conventional Funeral urn houses the cremation product, its molecular Composition remains stable.

The Urn and its funeral home serves as the destination of the mourning work.

To In a certain, decreed Ruhr period, the ashes are put into collection pits deposited while the Disposed of ash container becomes.

Of the living bodies can life-time about 30 different metals enrich, of which some highly toxic (Pb, Hg, Au, Ag, Bi, Sb, B, Be, Li, As, Ti, etc.). Some of these elements also have environmental relevance as heavy metals Importance.

With the mortal remains These heavy metals are also transferred in concentrated form to the soil.

The Introducing enriched dead ashes into the ground holds the danger rapid leaching of toxic compounds into the groundwater.

It is therefore an object of the present invention, a funeral urn to create, at which a degradation of the toxic substances of the remains the human ashes are already inside the funerary urn while preserving the piety aspects.

Is solved this task, in that the burial urn is designed in such a way that the receptacle as a moisture-permeable vessel or a Vessel in which Moisture is introduced, is formed, and that on the inner wall of the vessel projections, or paragraphs are provided, and that of the vessel final lid as a translucent lid is trained.

Preferably Embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

The Invention makes a contribution to environmental protection, since according to the invention plant growth under controlled culture conditions in a closed urn interior allows becomes.

On the projections or paragraphs on the inner wall of the urn vessel Plant growth takes place as nutrients and plant germs get inside the urn. This is done either by the vessel itself porous, air and moisture permeable, For example, made of clay, or for the exchange with the surrounding soil for this purpose openings or channels are provided in the urn. That for photosynthesis for plants provided light passes over the translucent Cover inside the urn. The translucent lid can be made of glass, Made of plastic or similar material.

The Top of the lid is convex, d. H. designed as a convergent lens, so that the incident light is bundled and focused accordingly.

Of the Moisture requirement of the plants is due to the concave Bottom of the translucent Lids regulated as the accumulated water drips off easily here can.

The present invention provides a contribution to groundwater protection, as the decomposition process of ash toxicity is due to the integration of mineralized substances in the cell metabolism process takes place.

In Every living cell has a variety of chemical reactions from. Ingested nutrients are thereby converted into cellular components. In this way arise different sugars, amino acids and their precursors, organic acids, Nucleotides, lipids and the like

Such Reactions relativize the aggressive constellation of the metal compounds and should therefore according to the invention already during the rest period within the urn take place.

With The invention provides plant growth under controlled culture conditions allowed in the closed urn interior.

present Minerals and their decay products are the plant metabolism over several generations to disposal.

And by the particular configuration of the inner wall is an enlarged and optimized growth area for the Created plants.

In contrast to the conventional urn vessel, the upper lid closure is provided as a light opening. And according to a Ausfüh tion form of the invention, two profile rings frame the glass cover and connect him permanently with the urn vessel. A funeral takes place with above-ground completion.

The invention will be described below with reference to the 1 to 3 be explained in more detail.

there demonstrate:

1 a closed urn with partial section through the outer wall

2 the locking mechanism with two profile rings at the top of the vessel and

3 a section through the vessel with a terraced structure of the vessel inner wall.

The 1 shows the urn or the receptacle ( 1 ) in a partial sectional view. The pre-jumps or paragraphs ( 3 ) are in this embodiment as circumferential annular surfaces on the inner wall ( 2 ) of the urn. These projections serve to increase the area for plant growth within the urn. In this embodiment, a one-piece profile ring ( 5 ) into which a glass ( 4 ) is inserted with a convex surface. The hatching of the side wall of the urn ( 1 ) should make it clear that this is made in the present embodiment of porous, permeable material.

According to the 2 is the storage of the translucent medium or a glass sheet ( 4 ) on a two-part profile ring ( 5 ) and ( 6 ). In the present embodiment, the upper profile ring ( 5 ) a wedge ( 7 ), which passes through the lower profile ring ( 6 ) and connects them together, the wedge ( 7 ) also the profile rings ( 5 ) and ( 6 ) and thereby also the glass pane ( 4 ) with the wall of the urn ( 1 ) connects. One leg of the profile ring ( 5 ) is designed in such a way that on the ground ( 8th ) rests and thus firmly anchored the urn in their position.

The 3 shows the outer wall of the urn interior ( 2 ), which tapers to the bottom part with corresponding notches and heels ( 3 ) for the intended plant growth. The reference number ( 5 ) denotes in this embodiment a profile ring.

Claims (8)
