Lors de certaines obsèques, il est prévu de recueillir les cendres du défunt dans une urne cinéraire qui est, selon les volontés, scellée ou simplement bouchée avant d'être remise aux proches pour être conservée. Les cendres sont généralement recueillies dans un vase métallique dont le bouchon peut être scellé avant d'être disposé dans un urne cinéraire, dont il existe une grande variété de modèles, notamment en roche ou en métal.During certain funerals, it is planned to collect the ashes of the deceased in a cinerary urn which is, according to the wishes, sealed or simply capped before being handed over to relatives to be kept. The ashes are generally collected in a metal vase whose stopper can be sealed before being placed in a cinerary urn, of which there is a wide variety of models, in particular in rock or metal.
On connaît des urnes cinéraires de forme cylindrique constituées d'un pot creusé dans un bloc de pierre monolithique. Le bloc de pierre est exécuté au tour avant d'être évidé en effectuant un carottage principal axial, puis des carottages secondaires pour casser morceau par morceau les ancrages des carottes avec le fond du pot monolithique, en évitant de briser le pot lui-même. La surface externe du pot présente souvent une ornementation tournée ou sculptée.Cinerary urns of cylindrical shape are known which consist of a pot hollowed out of a block of monolithic stone. The block of stone is executed in a lathe before being hollowed out by carrying out a main axial coring, then secondary cores to break piece by piece the anchors of the carrots with the bottom of the monolithic pot, avoiding breaking the pot itself. The external surface of the pot often has turned or sculpted ornamentation.
Ces urnes en pierre monolithe ont 1 ' inconvénient d'avoir un prix de revient coûteux à cause du nombre élevé d'opérations de carottages, opérations fastidieuses, longues et coûteuses en main-d ' oeuvre, outillage et usure des outils.These monolithic stone urns have the disadvantage of having an expensive cost price because of the high number of core drilling operations, tedious operations, long and costly in terms of labor, tools and tool wear.
Les urnes cinéraires sont habituellement conservées individuellement dans une niche d'un columbarium ou isolément dans une demeure. De façon surprenante, l'invention a pour objet de réaliser des urnes cinéraires modulaires, empilables en colonne funéraire afin d'obtenir un monument funéraire stable, résistant, d'encombrement réduit et présentant une forme simple, digne et élégante.Cinerary urns are usually kept individually in a niche of a columbarium or individually in a house.

Le corps du réceptacle 10 est donc constitué d'un boisseau cylindrique évidé axialement de la première extrémité 16 à la seconde extrémité 18.The body of the receptacle 10 therefore consists of a cylindrical plug axially hollowed out from the first end 16 to the second end 18.
Selon le mode de réalisation préféré illustré sur les figures 1 et 2 , le couvercle 12 est formé à partir d'un disque de pierre de diamètre intermédiaire entre le diamètre externe et le diamètre interne du boisseau 11 correspondant. Le disque est abattu ou entaillé latéralement sur une portion de sa hauteur, par exemple sur une moitié de la hauteur, pour former un epaulement 15 apte à venir en butée contre l'extrémité 16 du boisseau.According to the preferred embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the cover 12 is formed from a stone disc of intermediate diameter between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the corresponding plug 11. The disc is felled or notched laterally over a portion of its height, for example over half of the height, to form a shoulder 15 capable of abutting against the end 16 of the plug.
Le couvercle 12 est en effet destiné à être reporté à l'extrémité 16 du boisseau en venant s'emboîter dans une portion distale 17 de 1 ' evidement interne du boisseau, avant d'être fixé au boisseau, de préférence par scellement .The cover 12 is in fact intended to be transferred to the end 16 of the plug by fitting into a distal portion 17 of one internal recess of the plug, before being fixed to the plug, preferably by sealing.
Le couvercle 12 est donc entaillé de façon à présenter une portion de scellement 14 cylindrique de section égale ou légèrement inférieure à la section interne 17 évidée du boisseau 11. La taille du couvercle 12 ménage donc un epaulement 15 entre cette portion distale de scellement 14 de section réduite et une seconde portion distale 13 de section plus élevée qui a une fonction d'assemblage, comme exposé dans la suite . Le couvercle 12 est d'abord emboîté et scellé à la première extrémité 16 (extrémité supérieure sur les figures 1 et 2) du boisseau 11. Le scellement est effectué à l'aide d'un mortier, d'un ciment, d'une colle ou d'une résine, notamment à l'aide d'une colle epoxy. Une fois le couvercle 12 scellé, la portion d'assemblage 13 fait saillie de la première extrémité 16 du boisseau 11, comme visible figure 4.The cover 12 is therefore notched so as to present a cylindrical sealing portion 14 of section equal to or slightly less than the internal section 17 hollowed out of the plug 11. The size of the cover 12 therefore provides a shoulder 15 between this distal sealing portion 14 of reduced section and a second distal portion 13 of higher section which has an assembly function, as explained below. The cover 12 is first fitted and sealed at the first end 16 (upper end in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the plug 11. The sealing is carried out using a mortar, a cement, a glue or a resin, in particular using an epoxy glue. Once the cover 12 has been sealed, the assembly portion 13 projects from the first end 16 of the plug 11, as shown in FIG. 4.
De façon avantageuse, un tel scellement permet d'assurer 1 ' étanchéité et l'intégrité de l'obturation du réceptacle 10 à une extrémité 16.Advantageously, such a sealing makes it possible to ensure the seal and the integrity of the closure of the receptacle 10 at one end 16.
Comme le montre la figure 4, le réceptacle 10 présente finalement lui-même un epaulement mâle 16 entre le pourtour d'extrémité et la portion saillante 12 du couvercle, puisque la portion saillante présente une section intermédiaire entre les sections externe et interne du boisseau 11.As shown in Figure 4, the receptacle 10 finally has itself a male shoulder 16 between the end periphery and the protruding portion 12 of the cover, since the protruding portion has an intermediate section between the outer and inner sections of the plug 11 .
Maintenant, il est prévu selon l'invention que la seconde extrémité du boisseau comporte un lamage interne 19.Now, it is provided according to the invention that the second end of the plug comprises an internal counterbore 19.
Les figures 1 à 3 montrent en effet, que les parois cylindriques du boisseau 11 sont amincies du côté interne 17 au niveau d'une portion distale 19 correspondant à la seconde extrémité 18 du réceptacle 10. La surface interne du boisseau est lamée par tournage ou de préférence par carottage, sur une portion distale 19 de hauteur supérieure à la hauteur de la portion d'assemblage 13 saillante de couvercle 12. En effet, comme le montre la figure 2, la portion distale 19' lamée d'un réceptacle 10' doit recevoir un opercule 20' cylindrique d'une certaine épaisseur (ou hauteur axiale) puis s'emboîter sur la portion d'assemblage 13 saillante du couvercle 12 d'un autre réceptacle 10 identique au réceptacle 10 ' . La surface interne de chaque boisseau de réceptacleFigures 1 to 3 show in fact that the cylindrical walls of the plug 11 are thinned on the internal side 17 at a distal portion 19 corresponding to the second end 18 of the receptacle 10. The internal surface of the plug is laminated by turning or preferably by coring, on a distal portion 19 of height greater than the height of the assembly portion 13 projecting from the cover 12. In fact, as shown in FIG. 2, the distal portion 19 'laminated with a receptacle 10' must receive a cylindrical cover 20 'of a certain thickness (or axial height) and then fit onto the assembly portion 13 projecting from the cover 12 of another receptacle 10 identical to the receptacle 10'. The internal surface of each bushel of receptacle
10 ' est donc lamée sur une portion distale 19 ' de hauteur égale ou supérieure à la somme des épaisseurs10 'is therefore laminated to a distal portion 19' of height equal to or greater than the sum of the thicknesses
(hauteurs axiales) d'un opercule 20' et d'une portion saillante 13 de couvercle 12.(axial heights) of a cover 20 'and of a projecting portion 13 of cover 12.
D'autre part, le lamage est effectué sur une profondeur (épaisseur radiale de paroi) telle que la portion distale 19 du réceptacle 10 présente une section égale ou légèrement supérieure à la section de la portion d'assemblage 13 de couvercle 12.On the other hand, the countersinking is carried out to a depth (radial wall thickness) such that the distal portion 19 of the receptacle 10 has a section equal to or slightly greater than the section of the assembly portion 13 of the cover 12.
Ainsi, de façon avantageuse, l'unique lamage interne 19 de chaque boisseau de réceptacle assure une double fonction, de réception d'un opercule et d'emboîtement sur une portion saillante de couvercle. Dans un mode de réalisation alternatif (non représenté) , il est prévu que le couvercle de réceptacle est constitué d'une simple pièce cylindrique en pierre (de préférence un disque) et ne comporte pas d' epaulement . Le boisseau présente alors inversement un epaulement interne complémentaire d'une portion du couvercle. La surface interne 17 du boisseau doit alors être lamée sur une portion distale de hauteur inférieure à l'épaisseur (ou hauteur axiale) du couvercle. Le lamage peut être effectué par exemple sur une hauteur d'environ la moitié de l'épaisseur du couvercle cylindrique pour que celui-ci présente deux portions sensiblement égales : une portion de scellement et une portion d'assemblage saillant de l'extrémité du réceptacle.Thus, advantageously, the single internal counterbore 19 of each receptacle bushel fulfills a double function, of receiving a cover and fitting onto a projecting portion of the cover. In an alternative embodiment (not shown), it is provided that the receptacle cover consists of a simple cylindrical piece of stone (preferably a disc) and does not include a shoulder. The plug then inversely has an additional internal shoulder of a portion of the cover. The internal surface 17 of the plug must then be laminated to a distal portion of height less than the thickness (or axial height) of the cover. The counterbore can be carried out for example over a height of approximately half the thickness of the cylindrical cover so that the latter has two substantially equal portions: a sealing portion and an assembly portion projecting from the end of the receptacle .
Il est prévu que les réceptacles d'urnes cinéraires, selon l'invention, sont réalisés en pierre. Le matériau de pierre peut être de la pierre naturelle, notamment de la pierre de taille, ou être une pierre reconstituée réalisée à partir d'agrégat de pierre et de béton, mortier ou ciment.It is expected that the receptacles for cinerary urns according to the invention are made of stone. The stone material can be natural stone, in particular cut stone, or be a reconstituted stone made from aggregate of stone and concrete, mortar or cement.
Dans le cas d'une réalisation en pierre reconstituée, le réceptacle peut être fabriqué par moulage. Une telle réalisation présente des avantages de faible prix de revient indéniables .In the case of a reconstituted stone, the receptacle can be manufactured by molding. Such an achievement has undeniable advantages of low cost price.
Selon une alternative préférée, le réceptacle d'urne funéraire, selon l'invention, est réalisé en pierre naturelle. Le matériau de pierre naturelle est avantageusement choisi parmi, les granités, les grès, les basaltes, les marbres, les pierres marbrières et les pierres calcaires ou toute autre pierre en usage dans le domaine funéraire.According to a preferred alternative, the funeral urn receptacle according to the invention is made of natural stone. The material of natural stone is advantageously chosen from, granites, sandstones, basalts, marbles, marble stones and limestone or any other stone in use in the funeral industry.
De préférence, la même pierre naturelle est adoptée pour les boisseaux 11 et les couvercles 12 correspondants d'une colonne.Preferably, the same natural stone is adopted for the bushels 11 and the corresponding covers 12 of a column.
L'opercule 20 pourra être constitué de tout matériau, de préférence une pierre naturelle ou une pierre lamellaire. La pierre choisie pour réaliser l'opercule 20 peut être différente de celle choisie pour réaliser le boisseau 11 et/ou le couvercle 12 du réceptacle d'urne cinéraire 10. On peut réaliser par exemple le boisseau et le couvercle de réceptacle 10 en granité et choisir un opercule 20 en marbre. Dans le cas d'une réalisation en pierre naturelle dure, tels que le granité ou le marbre, il est prévu de mettre en oeuvre un procédé de fabrication particulier.The cover 20 may be made of any material, preferably a natural stone or a lamellar stone. The stone chosen to produce the cover 20 may be different from that chosen to produce the plug 11 and / or the cover 12 of the cinerary urn receptacle 10. It is possible, for example, to produce the plug and the receptacle cover 10 of granite and choose a marble cover 20. In the case of an implementation in hard natural stone, such as granite or marble, it is planned to implement a particular manufacturing process.
Comme le montrent les figures 9 et 10, la réalisation du boisseau peut être effectuée en deux étapes de carottage. Une colonne pleine en pierre naturelle peut ainsi faire l'objet d'un premier carottage axial traversant, de préférence depuis la première extrémité 16 vers la seconde extrémité 18. On obtient alors un boisseau comportant un evidement 17 cylindrique circulaire uniforme. Un deuxième carottage axial est ensuite effectué à la seconde extrémité 18 du boisseau sur une portion de la hauteur du boisseau pour obtenir le lamage de la portion distale 19. L'avantage de procéder au carottage de la portion distale après le carottage de 1 ' evidement et à partir d'une extrémité 18 opposée, est d'éliminer les éclats du pourtour qui peuvent apparaître à la seconde extrémité 18 lorsque la carotteuse débouche à l'air libre, comme illustré figure 9. Toutefois, chaque carottage représente une opération coûteuse. Un carottage dans une pierre noble dure, comme le granité ou le marbre nécessite un temps opératoire de l'ordre de l'heure compte-tenu des manipulations et des précautions à prendre pour ne pas abimer les éléments obtenus et ne pas perdre de matériau.As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the production of the plug can be performed in two coring steps. A solid column made of natural stone can thus be the subject of a first axial through borehole, preferably from the first end 16 towards the second end 18. A plug is then obtained having a uniform circular cylindrical recess 17. A second coring axial is then carried out at the second end 18 of the plug over a portion of the height of the plug to obtain the countersinking of the distal portion 19. The advantage of coring the distal portion after coring of the recess and from from an opposite end 18, is to eliminate the splinters from the periphery which may appear at the second end 18 when the core drilling machine emerges in the open air, as illustrated in FIG. 9. However, each core drilling represents an expensive operation. Coring in a hard noble stone, such as granite or marble requires an operating time of the order of an hour, given the handling and the precautions to be taken not to damage the elements obtained and not to lose material.
De façon avantageuse et surprenante, l'invention prévoit de fabriquer un boisseau de réceptacle d'urne cinéraire en une seule opération de carottage. La figure 11 montre que 1 ' evidement cylindrique 17 traversant et le lamage d'une portion distale 19 d'un boisseau, sont obtenus en une seule étape de carottage, à l'aide d'une paire de carotteuses 101, 102 montées coaxiales et solidaires sur un arbre 103. Habituellement, une carotteuse a une fréquence de rotation telle que la vitesse linéaire de la couronne tubulaire diamantée avoisine une valeur déterminée par la nature du matériau. La vitesse de rotation nominale d'une carotteuse dépend donc de son diamètre. De façon avantageuse, il est prévu ici que les deux carotteuses 101, 102 appariées ont des diamètres voisins Dl et D2 , ce qui permet de faire tourner l'ensemble 100 à une vitesse proche de la vitesse nominale correspondant à chacun des diamètres Dl et D2 pour tarauder efficacement. La carotteuse de diamètre externe Dl qui effectue 1 ' evidement 17 du boisseau et la carotteuse de diamètre externe D2 qui effectue le lamage de la portion distale 19 du boisseau sont montées coaxiales sur l'arbre 103 avec un décalage axial égal ou supérieur à la hauteur du boisseau diminuée de la hauteur de la portion distale 19 à lamer.Advantageously and surprisingly, the invention provides for manufacturing a bushel of a cinerary urn receptacle in a single coring operation. FIG. 11 shows that the through cylindrical recess 17 and the countersinking of a distal portion 19 of a plug, are obtained in a single coring step, using a pair of coring machines 101, 102 mounted coaxially and secured to a shaft 103. Usually, a core drilling machine has a frequency of rotation such that the linear speed of the diamond tubular crown is close to a value determined by the nature of the material. The nominal speed of rotation of a core drilling machine therefore depends on its diameter. Advantageously, it is provided here that the two paired core drilling machines 101, 102 have diameters close to Dl and D2, which makes it possible to rotate the assembly 100 at a speed close to the nominal speed corresponding to each of the diameters Dl and D2 to effectively tap. The core drilling machine Dl which performs the recess 17 of the plug and the core drilling machine D2 which counterbores the distal portion 19 of the plug are mounted coaxially on the shaft 103 with an axial offset equal to or greater than the height bushel less the height of the distal portion 19 to be counterbored.
De préférence, la fabrication des couvercles et des opercules de réceptacle d'urne cinéraire, selon l'invention, est effectuée aussi par carottage.Preferably, the manufacture of the covers and lids of the cinerary urn receptacle, according to the invention, is also carried out by coring.
Il est prévu ainsi, de fabriquer un disque d'opercule 20 de réceptacle 10, selon l'invention, en découpant une plaque 220 de pierre naturelle, notamment une pierre de taille ou une pierre lamellaire d'épaisseur centimétrique, par carottage de diamètre interne D3 intermédiaire entre le diamètre Dl de 1 ' evidement et le diamètre D2 du lamage 19 de chaque boisseau .It is thus planned to manufacture a cover disc 20 for receptacle 10, according to the invention, by cutting a plate 220 of natural stone, in particular a cut stone or a lamellar stone of centimetric thickness, by coring of internal diameter. D3 intermediate between the diameter D1 of the recess and the diameter D2 of the countersink 19 of each bushel.
De façon avantageuse, la carotteuse 200 de diamètre interne D3 est réutilisée pour la fabrication d'un couvercle de réceptacle, selon l'invention.Advantageously, the core drilling machine 200 of internal diameter D3 is reused for the manufacture of a receptacle cover, according to the invention.
Il est donc prévu de découper une plaque de pierre naturelle, de préférence de la même pierre que celle utilisée pour la fabrication des boisseaux, par carottage de diamètre interne D3 , intermédiaire entre le diamètre Dl de 1 ' evidement 17 et le diamètre D2 du lamage distal 19 de chaque boisseau pour former un disque de couvercle.It is therefore planned to cut a plate of natural stone, preferably of the same stone as that used for the manufacture of bushels, by coring with internal diameter D3, intermediate between the diameter Dl of the recess 17 and the diameter D2 of the counterbore distal 19 of each bushel to form a cover disc.
Enfin, il est prévu d'abattre une portion latérale de hauteur du disque de couvercle 12 pour former un epaulement 15 en effectuant un carottage complémentaire .Finally, it is planned to cut down a lateral height portion of the cover disc 12 to form a shoulder 15 by carrying out additional coring.
Ce dernier carottage est effectué avec une carotteuse 300 de diamètre interne D4 égal ou légèrement inférieur au diamètre Dl de 1 ' evidement de chaque boisseau 11, pour que la portion de scellement 14 du couvercle obtenu s'insère et s ' emboite dans 1 ' evidement 17.This latter coring is carried out with a core drilling machine 300 of internal diameter D4 equal to or slightly less than the diameter Dl of the recess of each bushel 11, so that the sealing portion 14 of the cover obtained is inserted and fitted into the recess 17.
De préférence, on utilise une carotteuse 300 tubulaire dont le diamètre externe D5 est supérieur au diamètre D3 du disque de couvercle de façon à dresser avantageusement un epaulement 15 parfaitement plan en une seule opération.Preferably, a tubular core drilling machine 300 is used whose external diameter D5 is greater than the diameter D3 of the cover disc so as to advantageously draw up a perfectly flat shoulder 15 in a single operation.
De même, la carotteuse 40 ou 102 de diamètre externe D2 utilisée pour réaliser le lamage 19 a de préférence un diamètre interne égal au diamètre de 1 ' evidement 17 pour dresser un epaulement plan entre la portion distale 19 lamée et 1 ' evidement cylindrique 17.Likewise, the core drilling machine 40 or 102 of external diameter D2 used to make the counterbore 19 preferably has an internal diameter equal to the diameter of the recess 17 to form a flat shoulder between the distal portion 19 laminated and the cylindrical recess 17.
Un avantage du procédé de fabrication de réceptacle cinéraire en pierre selon 1 ' invention, est de limiter le nombre d'opérations de taille, trois carottages étant prévus au maximum.An advantage of the method for manufacturing a cinerary stone receptacle according to the invention is to limit the number of cutting operations, three cores being provided at most.
Maintenant, dans la pratique funéraire, il est prévu de fournir le réceptacle d'urne cinéraire 10 fermé à la première extrémité par le couvercle 12 scellé, la seconde extrémité 19 étant ouverte sans opercule, l'opercule 20 étant fourni séparément.Now, in funeral practice, provision is made to provide the receptacle for cinerary urns 10 closed at the first end by the sealed cover 12, the second end 19 being open without cover, the cover 20 being supplied separately.
Ainsi, lors des obsèques, les cendres ou le vase métallique contenant les cendres peuvent être insérés dans le réceptacle d'urne cinéraire 10 selon l'invention, avant d'être fermé par l'opercule 20. De préférence, le vase est monté sur un opercule 20 enduit de silicone, avant de reporter l'opercule 20 et le vase, maintenus ensemble par le silicone, dans le réceptacle d'urne cinéraire 10. De façon avantageuse, l'opercule 20 peut être scellé facilement contre 1 ' epaulement ou contre le lamage interne 19 de la seconde extrémité 18 du boisseau il. Après scellement de l'opercule 20, le réceptacle 10 peut être retourné pour être empilé en colonne. De façon alternative, on peut prévoir de sceller dès l'origine l'opercule 20 au boisseau 11 et de laisser le couvercle 12 descellé.Thus, during the funeral, the ashes or the metal vase containing the ashes can be inserted into the receptacle for a cinerary urn 10 according to the invention, before being closed by the cover 20. Preferably, the vase is mounted on a cover 20 coated with silicone, before transferring the cover 20 and the vase, held together by the silicone, in the cinerary urn receptacle 10. Advantageously, the cover 20 can be easily sealed against the shoulder or against the internal counterbore 19 of the second end 18 of the plug il. After sealing the cover 20, the receptacle 10 can be turned over to be stacked in a column. Alternatively, provision may be made from the outset to seal the cover 20 to the plug 11 and to leave the cover 12 unsealed.
Le couvercle peut alors être scellé lors des funérailles.The cover can then be sealed during the funeral.
Cette pratique permet aussi éventuellement, dé laisser le couvercle 12 librement emboîté sur le réceptacle 10 après les funérailles, pour pouvoir accéder au vase cinéraire selon les volontés . L'intérêt de tels réceptacles d'urnes cinéraires modulaires et emboîtables, selon l'invention apparaît sur les figures 6 à 8.This practice also makes it possible, optionally, to leave the cover 12 freely fitted onto the receptacle 10 after the funeral, in order to be able to access the cinerary vase as desired. The advantage of such receptacles of modular and nestable cinerary urns according to the invention appears in FIGS. 6 to 8.
On voit ainsi que des réceptacles d'urnes cinéraires 10, 10', 10'', 10''' semblables, peuvent être emboîtés et empilés pour former une colonne funéraire.It is thus seen that receptacles of cinerary urns 10, 10 ', 10' ', 10' '' similar, can be nested and stacked to form a funeral column.
Il est prévu de préférence que la colonne funéraire, selon l'invention, comporte une base de colonne 0 simple qui présente une portion d'extrémité saillante apte à s'emboîter avec la seconde extrémité d'un réceptacle.It is preferably provided that the funeral column, according to the invention, comprises a simple column base 0 which has a projecting end portion capable of fitting with the second end of a receptacle.
Un telle base de colonne 0, illustrée figure 5, est constituée de préférence d'un fût de colonne plein dont le pourtour de 1 ' extrémité supérieure 6 est abattu pour présenter un epaulement 5 identique à 1 ' epaulement de la seconde extrémité 16 de chaque réceptacle 10 assemblé avec son couvercle 12.Such a column base 0, illustrated in FIG. 5, preferably consists of a solid column barrel whose periphery of the upper end 6 is cut down to present a shoulder 5 identical to the shoulder of the second end 16 of each receptacle 10 assembled with its cover 12.
Alternativement, la base de colonne peut être réalisée en assemblant une portion de colonne tubulaire évidée avec un couvercle, à l'instar d'un réceptacle. II est prévu de ficher le pied 8 de la base de colonne 0 dans le sol avant de reporter et d' emboiter un réceptacle d'urne cinéraire 10. De préférence, le pied 8 de la colonne est immobilisé dans un socle, tel qu'une fondation en béton ou en pierre naturelle. La base de colonne 0 mesure avantageusement plusieurs décimètres et peut atteindre une hauteur de plus d'un mètre, ce qui permet de former un monument funéraire stable, solide et digne, les réceptacles modulaires étant disposés à hauteur d'Homme.Alternatively, the column base can be produced by assembling a portion of a hollow tubular column with a cover, like a receptacle. It is planned to plug the foot 8 of the column base 0 into the ground before transferring and fitting a receptacle for a cinerary urn 10. Preferably, the foot 8 of the column is immobilized in a base, such as a concrete or natural stone foundation. The base of column 0 advantageously measures several decimeters and can reach a height of more than one meter, which makes it possible to form a stable, solid and dignified funerary monument, the modular receptacles being arranged at human height.
De telles colonnes peuvent être édifiées selon les volontés, dans un cimetière, une nécropole ou dans un enclos privé, voire au sein d'une demeure familiale. La figure 8 illustre plusieurs colonnes A-E comportant des assemblages de réceptacles d'urnes cinéraires A1,A2 ; B1,B2 ; D1,D2,D3 et El sur des bases de colonnes séparées A0 , B0, C0 et E0.Such columns can be built as desired, in a cemetery, a necropolis or in a private enclosure, or even within a family home. FIG. 8 illustrates several columns A-E comprising assemblies of receptacles for cinerary urns A1, A2; B1, B2; D1, D2, D3 and El on separate column bases A0, B0, C0 and E0.
Un intérêt de 1 ' invention est de permettre d'assembler les réceptacles d'urnes cinéraires, selon les volontés, de manière analogue à un caveau familial, par exemple .One advantage of the invention is to make it possible to assemble the receptacles for cinerary urns, as desired, in a manner similar to a family vault, for example.
On peut noter que sur la figure 6, il est prévu de disposer une tablette d'épitaphe 21 ou d'effectuer une gravure à la surface externe du boisseau de chaque réceptacle 11 ' ' .It can be noted that in FIG. 6, provision is made for placing an epitaph tablet 21 or for etching on the external surface of the plug of each receptacle 11 ''.
Finalement, il apparaît que l'invention permet avantageusement d'obtenir un monument funéraire convenant aux pratiques de crémation, de faible encombrement, stable, solide, insensible aux intempéries, élégant et digne.Finally, it appears that the invention advantageously makes it possible to obtain a funerary monument suitable for cremation practices, compact, stable, solid, insensitive to bad weather, elegant and dignified.
On peut relever aussi que selon le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, représenté sur les figures, les réceptacles d'urnes cinéraires sont symétriques de révolution, les boisseaux, couvercles et opercules étant circulaires pour former une colonne simple, ronde et lisse.It can also be noted that according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, shown in the figures, the receptacles for cinerary urns are symmetrical in revolution, the plugs, lids and lids being circular to form a simple column, round and smooth.
Toutefois, une colonne d'urnes funéraires, selon l'invention, peut présenter une surface externe ornementée, notamment par des cannelures, des arêtes, des faisceaux, des torsades ou d'autres sculptures. Plus généralement, les réceptacles d'urnes cinéraires, selon l'invention, peuvent présenter une section non-circulaire, par exemple cantonnée, carrée, hexagonale, octogonale, polygonale ou toute autre section classique de colonne ou de pilier.However, a column of funeral urns according to the invention may have an ornate external surface, in particular by grooves, edges, beams, twists or other sculptures. More generally, the receptacles for cinerary urns according to the invention may have a non-circular section, for example cantoned, square, hexagonal, octagonal, polygonal or any other conventional section of column or pillar.
De même, on peut prévoir que le couvercle 12 présente une portion d'assemblage 14 tronconique (non- représenté) , le lamage 19 de la portion distale de chaque réceptacle 10 présentant alors une surface tronconique complémentaire.Likewise, provision may be made for the cover 12 to have a frustoconical assembly portion 14 (not shown), the countersinking 19 of the distal portion of each receptacle 10 then having a complementary frustoconical surface.
Enfin, le sommet d'une colonne peut être surmonté par un chapiteau décoratif, lumineux, ou ayant une fonction de protection contre les intempéries.Finally, the top of a column can be surmounted by a decorative marquee, luminous, or having a function of protection against bad weather.
D'autres modes de réalisation, variantes et améliorations pourront être mises en oeuvre par l'homme de métier sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, l'objet de la protection étant défini par les revendications ci-après. Other embodiments, variants and improvements may be implemented by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention, the object of protection being defined by the claims below.
