Definitions

• the coffin is made by a wooden case of fig. 1 (1 ), a zinc case with the closing lid of fig. 1 (2), and on the lid that closes the zinc case of fig. 1 (2) a vent valve called purifier valve, fig. 1 (3) which contains activated carbon which filters the smells, partly abating them and limiting the leakage towards the outside, everything closed by the coffin lid fig. 1 (4).
• This system is clearly not sufficient, since the smells given off, even though they are limited, have to be summed to the smell of other decomposing corpses present in the graveyard churches, exhaling an unbearable nauseating stink.
• the aim of the present invention is to limit the emission of miasmas from the coffins.
• Figure 1 shows a coffin according to the prior art.
• the lid of the zinc case fig. 2 (2) contains two vent valves fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) regularly regulated at an appropriate pressure, redounded in order to increase the safety, in case one of the two does not work, and thus to avoid any explosion risk of the zinc case in case of overpressures inside the case, example exhaustive but non limitative.
• Valves can be also used as pressure outlets, to control the pressure value inside the zinc case or the air space, by means of mechanical pressure gauges or electronic pressure sensors, exhaustive but non limitative example.
• plugs for closing the valves of fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) are present, used in case the air space is not used and there is the need for using the valves for different uses, exhaustive but non limitative example.
• Fig. 2 (10) - 2 (1 1 ) show two flexible high-pressure pipes which connect the two vent valves fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) to two intake valves fig. 2 (12) - 2 (13) of an air space of fig. 2 (14) having appropriate dimensions and being made of appropriate material both to contain acid gases from the decomposition and the pressure of the fetid gases of the decomposition itself, exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the two vent valves of fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) of the zinc case and the two intake valves of fig. 2 (12) - 2 (13) of the air space of fig. 2 (14) can be connected also directly if the air space is placed directly on the zinc case, exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the vent valve fig 4. (15) of the air space fig. 2. 14 comes out from the coffin as from fig. 3 (15) passing through the lid, blocked by the round washer of fig. 3 (16) and the block nut of fig 3 (17), exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the outlet of the vent valve of figure 4 (14) of the air space can be used as a pressure outlet to read its value, as a vent outlet towards a further air space outside the coffin, by connecting a flexible pipe having adequate length and constructive characteristics, to release or to suck the miasmas and the smells in appropriate containers and subsequently to introduce them in the sewers or to introduce them directly in the sewers, during a possible opening of the zinc cases, for various customary operations, exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the inspection glass of fig. 2 (23) is useful for a possible visual verification of the decomposition state of the corpses for a possible burial, namely to verify the possibility of proceeding with the burial without opening the zinc case, exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the intake valve of fig. 5 (22) connected to the pipe of fig. 5 (24) is used to introduce air from the outside, to suck or extract smells or liquids from the inside, to vent internal smells, to introduce air or chemical substances to possibly accelerate the decomposition of the corpses.
• the air space has two intake valves fig. 2 (12) - 2 (13) and a vent valve set at an adequate pressure exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the air space can have even more than a vent valve.
• the vent valves of fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) can be used as pressure outlets.
• the vent valves of fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) can also be connected to an adequate flexible pipe, to suck and discharge directly the miasmas and the mortuary gas in appropriate or directly in the sewers, exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the two vent valves of fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) can be connected directly to the intake valves fig. 2 (12) - 2 (13) of the air space fig. 2 (14) or they can be closed by the plugs of fig. 2 (8) - 2 (9), exhaustive but non limitative example.
• the two vent valves of fig. 2 (6) - 2 (7) can be connected directly to the intake valves fig. 2 (12) - 2 (13) of the air space fig. 2 (14).
• the vent valve (15) can be connected to an air space outside the coffin in order to increase the overall volume available for the fluid expansion.
• a valve can be inserted (21 ) to suck from the inside gases or liquids or to introduce chemical compounds from the outside, exhaustive but non limitative example.
