Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a container made of plastic material for funeral use, and in particular to a counter-coffin made of plastic material per funerary coffin or to an internal container made of plastic material of a cinerary urn.
  • the art proposes a great number of containers for funerary use for containing mortal remains and ashes of dead people, mainly made, depending on their specific use, as counter-coffins for coffins or internal containers of cinerary urns.
  • a funerary coffin adapted to contain therein a corpse is generally composed of a coffin made of wooden material and of a counter-coffin made of zinc.
  • the wooden coffin can indifferently be internal or external to the metallic coffin even if, due to aesthetic reasons, it is commonplace to arrange it externally: in this latter case, the corpse is obviously arranged inside the zinc coffin, generally called counter-coffin.
  • the metallic coffin must then be airtight closed through a welding (cold welding is also used, in addition to fire welding) that is continuous and extended on the whole periphery of the contact area of the elements to be welded.
  • a welding cold welding is also used, in addition to fire welding
  • the materials to be used for building containers suitable for transporting corpses must ensure the mechanical resistance for the necessary support of the body and the tightness of the coffin, in order to prevent odours or organic liquids from going out of the coffin.
  • the obvious needs of sturdiness of the coffin capable of offering more guarantees about the bier tightness and that would require the use of certain types and thickness of used materials go against the further needs that require opposite characteristics: in fact, for example, the coffins aimed to inhumation or cremation should, on the contrary, be made with minimum thickness and soft wooden essences, that can be easily biodegraded and/or burnt.
  • the same use of zinc for making the metallic counter-coffin creates numerous inconveniences. In fact, it requires, in case of cremation, the use of high temperatures inside the oven and generates, following the combustion, ashes e residuals that can be managed with difficulty, since they can ruin the refractory material of the oven itself.
  • the zinc coffin is a cemetery waste that can be disposed of with difficulty.
  • the welding operation of the cover of the zinc counter-coffin is cumbersome, generating vapours that are inhaled by the responsible operator.
  • the welding bead is not performed skilfully and has discontinuities that can make passageways for odours and organic liquids, strongly impairing the necessary airtight seals required for the coffin.
  • the art further proposes caissons made of plastic reinforced by fibre glass or other material that can be easily disinfected, in which a coffin only made of wood can be laid during its handling, in order to guarantee a perfect seal during transports, due to hermetic gaskets with which such caissons are equipped.
  • a cinerary urn typically made of the most various materials such as granite, marble, etc., is instead adapted to house therein a zinc container, equipped with a cover made of the same material, containing the ashes obtained from the cremation of a corpse.
  • the zinc container must then be airtightly sealed by welding the cover (the cold welding is also used, in addition to the fire welding) continuously and extensively along the whole periphery of the contact area of the elements to be welded.
  • cinerary urns made of biodegradable material, like those disclosed in HU3463 , KR100858332 , EP1588684 , CN2500294 , JP2000000277 , DE19744331 , JP10165463 , DE4204404 : the realisation of such known containers however does not solve the specific problems of which plastic material is most suitable for making a container whose use is not only for environmental protection purposes, but that has adequate features of sturdiness, stiffness and airtight seal.
  • object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems by providing a container made of plastic material for funeral use, and in particular a counter-coffin made of plastic material for funerary coffin or an internal container made of plastic material of a cinerary urn, that is more practical, cheaper and lighter than the similar containers for funerary use of the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing a container made of plastic material for funeral use, and in particular a counter-coffin made of plastic material for funerary coffin or an internal container made of plastic material of a cinerary urn, that has the features of sturdiness, stiffness and airtight seal required by the standards and the similar containers for funerary use of the prior art.
  • an object of the present invention is providing a container made of plastic material for funeral use, and in particular a counter-coffin made of plastic material for funerary coffin or an internal container made of plastic material of a cinerary urn, in which the welding of the cover is easier and quicker, guaranteeing a maximum airtight seal.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing a container made of plastic material for funeral use, and in particular a counter-coffin made of plastic material for funerary coffin, that can be easily ignited in case of cremation, reducing the required combustion heat and removing the production of ashes that can be managed with difficulty.
  • a preferred embodiment of the container for funeral use 1 is composed of at least one lower container 3 and of at least one cover 5 that can be superimposed to such lower container 3, such container 3 and such cover 5 being made of a plastic material.
  • the container for funeral use 1 is a counter-coffin adapted to be preferably arranged inside a funerary coffin according to the prior art composed of a coffin 4 and of a related cover 6, such lower container 3 being then adapted to contain therein a corpse.
  • the container for funeral use 1 is an internal container adapted to be preferably arranged inside a cinerary urn according to the prior art composed of a vase 8 and of a related cover 10, such lower container 3 being then adapted to contain therein the ashes of a corpse.
  • the above plastic material is preferably a thermosetting material.
  • thermosetting material is polyethylene, and in particular a Low Density Poly-Ethylene LDPE, and still more preferably reticulated polyethylene.
  • thermosetting material for making the container for funeral use 1 in fact allows obtaining the following advantageous characteristics with respect to other plastic materials:
  • the production methods for the container for funeral use 1 according to the present invention are several and substantially belong to the known prior art.
  • the container for funeral use 1 according to the present invention advantageously allows the easy and cheap production of the related container 3 and cover 5 made in a single piece in the above thermosetting material through simple stamping workings.
  • the container 3 is however equipped with at least one perimeter edge 7 corresponding to a similar perimeter edge 9 of the cover 5, such edge 9 being overlapped to the edge 7 of the container 3 upon placing the related cover 5 onto the container 3 itself.
  • resistor heat-welding means are arranged, suitable to at least partially melt the plastic material of which such edges 7, 9 are made and to mutually weld them.
  • the resistor heat-welding means are integrated into the container for funeral use 1 according to the present invention and are preferably made as at least one electric resistance filament 11 suitably immersed into the plastic material of the edge 7 and/or 9 or arranged on the surface along such edge 7 and/or 9, such electric resistance filament 11 having its two electric terminals 13 going out of such edge 7 and/or 9 adapted to be connected to a source of electric energy, such as for example a generating set, an electric battery or, simply, suitably modulated mains current, and supplied with current upon welding.
  • a source of electric energy such as for example a generating set, an electric battery or, simply, suitably modulated mains current, and supplied with current upon welding.
  • the continuity with which the electric resistance filament 11 is arranged along the edge 7 and/or 9, making for example a serpentine to increase the heat exchange surface between filament 11 and plastic material of the edges 7, 9, guarantees the actual continuity and homogeneity of the welding and the necessary airtight seal of the container for funeral use 1 according to the present invention.
  • the resistor heat-welding means are external to the container for funeral use 1 and are made as at least one electric resistance filament coated with at least one layer of polyethylene, at least one of such edges 7 and/or 9 being equipped on its perimeter with at least one groove suitable to house therein such filament upon heat-welding the cover 5 onto the container 3.
  • such coated electric resistance filament has electric terminals suitable to allow the connection to the source of electric energy.
