DE202006002379U1 - Urn, made of biodegradable material in particular of unglazed ceramics with screwed-on lid - Google Patents

Abstract

The urn containing the ashes of a cremated body should be disintegrated after at least two decades when buried at a graveyard in a densely populated area. The new design of an urn is burned at a temperature below the melting point of clay in order to obtain a particularly porous quality. The inner surface is kept unglazed; the outer surface can be painted or decorated with ornaments. A small decorative object made of the same material and containing features of the urn can be taken home by the mourner.

Description

The Invention relates to funerary urns traditionally used in burial culture be used.

Of the Corpse is cremated in the crematorium and there in a standardized Filled in metal capsule. This simple ash capsule becomes a memorial service in a burial urn used and buried in the earth.

For the production Urns currently use many different materials. by virtue of the necessary transience the urns, must decomposable materials are used.

Basically distinguished between simple and high-quality urns. To the include simple materials u.B. Plastic, steel, copper and brass and the high quality e.g. Granite, glass and marble.

at However, many of these urns often pose the problem of required Verrottbarkeit.

Of the in protection claim 1 specified invention is therefore the problem to create a funerary urn that is easy to decompose And from a greener material is, as before offered to the market.

The Material clay is for this the suitable solution.

volume is recycled earth.

So a natural product that is added to the earth with a clay urn.

To make vessels out of it, one uses natural additives, such as water. The essential components of the initial mass of clay fired to a ceramic shard are major oxides of earth crust. (eg SiO ₂ , Al ₂ O ₃ , Fe ₂ O, TiO ₂ , MgO, CaO, Na ₂ O, K ₂ O)

• 1. Die Urnen werden porös gebrannt, das heißt in einem Temperaturbereich unter dem Schmelzpunkt des Materials Ton. Dadurch ist der Scherben wasseraufnahmefähig, und zersetzt sich sehr schnell.
• Zur Feuchtigkeit in der Erde, den die Urnen ausgesetzt sind, kommt noch die zusätzliche Einwirkung von Frost.
• 2. Die Urnen werden innen nicht glasiert, außen wird die Glasur der Wasserdurchlässigkeit Rechnung getragen.

To ensure that the funerary urn, as recorded in the cemetery statutes, rots after a waiting period of about 15-20 years, the following production methods are used:

• 1. The urns are fired porous, that is, in a temperature range below the melting point of the material clay. As a result, the broken piece is water-receptive, and decomposes very quickly.
• Moisture in the earth, which is exposed to the urns, comes with the additional effect of frost.
• 2. The urns are not glazed inside, outside the glaze of water permeability is taken into account.

A Urn of clay corresponds to the criterion of transience, since it is here is a natural product. This means that urns that out Clay are rotting earlier than e.g. Granite products , Glass, marble, plastic, brass, metal or copper. Further advantageous Ausgestalltungen are specified in the dependent claims.

In The burial culture is becoming more and more popular with the trend To prefer cremation of the Sargerdbestattung, thereby arises an elevated one Need for urns.

The Invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment.

The Illustration shows a burial urn made of clay. In the form design However, there are no limits. As described in the dependent claim 3, can e.g. round square or oval urns are offered.

ever If required, the customer can be addressed here individually.

The Picture is only one possible Product example; as shown in the protection claim 1.

By the porous one Texture of the toned urn is a varied outer glaze order in all color variants and structures possible, as indicated in the dependent claim 2

As in the dependent claim 4, can they Funeral urns are decorated in an improved way with decors. These are e.g. Ring handles, rose emblems, burnt pictures or gold ribbons. By individual Embellishments increase the value of the urns.

All Funeral urns have a lid with a rotating closure option which prevents the lid from falling down.

The Locking may be a notch in the lid or a cuff through which the lid can not solve, as in the dependent claim 5 indicated.

By the possibility The very noble optics of funeral urns, arises in the bereaved The impression that the urns are too beautiful to put into the earth.

For this reason, the inventive idea, for each burial urn came from the same chem material and the same color decoration, a small ceramic part, in different form, such as a ball lamp, a vase or a picture frame to make that you can give the bereaved as a memento to the buried urn home.

In Subclaim 6 specified.

at the solution according to the invention is a funerary urn, with a memento, which new from porous Clay are made.

A Urn made of clay combines several advantages.

The Material is rotting and has a variety of colors for the customer attractive appearance.

Of further, the product is contrary to the general funeral trend.

Claims (2)

Funeral urn, which can be used to hold ash resulting from the cremation of corpses, which is filled into standardized capsules, characterized in that the urn is made of low-temperature, porous-fired clay, with all the clays used in their different color occurrences can be. Funeral urn according to claim 1, characterized the urn has a lid of clay with a rotating closure option has.
