Definitions

  • the eco-friendly coffin object of the present invention, refers to a coffin for ecological burials in which it is intended that the remains of the deceased, previously converted into small particles, are mixed with the environment, unique in that both the structural configuration and composition of said coffin, halfway between coffin and urn, facilitate decomposition in both earthy and aquatic environments over a period of less than 24 months.
  • the field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry engaged in the manufacture of coffins, urns and other containers used in burials and more specifically those of ecological or biodegradable character.
  • so-called eco-friendly coffins tend to be used, either for incinerations or for burials. These coffins are manufactured from materials which decompose completely and more rapidly. However, when they are intended to be buried, it is necessary to bury them deeply, since no microbial activity occurs above 500 mm and therefore it is impossible for any type of decomposition to occur or to treat the remains of the deceased prior to burial in such a way that they do not produce contaminative waste.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to provide the market with a new type of eco-friendly coffin which avoids such difficulties and with which, rather than being incinerated, the deceased are buried with a mixture of compost so that, within a minimal time period, they decompose and mix with the natural environment, at the same time proving beneficial thereto.
  • the corpse of the deceased is frozen and then subjected to vibration, to then be dried and the metals contained therein separated. Finally, it is placed inside the coffin with a suitable mixture of carbons and nitrogens in such a way that aggregate of elements may decompose.
  • the present invention proposes a coffin for ecological burials, so that the burial can take place in the surface layers of the ground and to facilitate the decomposition thereof and its conversion into compost along with the remains of the deceased. These remains have been subjected prior to their introduction into the coffin to a previous freezing and vibration process to break them up, thus converting them into particles smaller than 5 mm.
  • the decomposition takes place in both earthy and aquatic environments over a period of less than 24 months, which is possible owing, in large part, to the composition of the material used to make the coffin consisting in the mixture of a water soluble polymer, namely a PVOH resin (polyvinyl alcohol also known as polyethenol or vinyl alcohol), plus additives and fillers, forming a biodegradable, compostable (in accordance with norm UNE EN 13432/01), water-soluble and nontoxic material.
  • the material comprises between 40% and 80% in weight of a PVOH resin, between 10% and 50% in weight of plasticizers and between 5% and 10% in weight of fillers or additives.
  • the coffin, object of the present invention comprises, according to the first claim, a box formed by two identical and symmetrical halves joined together, each of which is obtained via an injection process and may take on different forms and designs as desired.
  • a second object of the disclosure is one half of said coffin.
  • the aforementioned joint between both halves of the box is formed by clipping the same, considering, in addition, the sealing of the joint between the two halves with a preparation consisting of a water-based mixture and the very material of the box, in such a way that, by exerting a certain amount of vertical and horizontal pressure, said seal is created in a few seconds or minutes.
  • the box should be stored in environments of 20-22° C and 40 to 65% of humidity.
  • each half of the box carries a series of reinforcements of between 2 and 5 mm in thickness which provide the coffin with the necessary strength, both horizontally and vertically.
  • there is at least one fill hole with a cap for filling said hole and said cap being designed in such a way that, when closed, the cap cannot seep into the box.
  • Said hole or holes may also be placed in one of the halves of the box. Also, whereby the hole is positioned between both halves of the box, each of the halves will have a part of said hole.
  • both halves have certain thin areas measuring between 0.5 and 1 mm, through which the coffin is easily broken once buried, enabling the moisture in the soil to pass through the content and affect 100% of the faces of the box. This ensures that in less than 24 months it is fully decomposed and it disappears.
  • the shape of the box can vary, but in any case said shape is such that it allows either of the two faces, top and bottom, of the coffin to be supported, maintaining balance. Such a shape or design also allows it to be picked up and transporting by two or four people comfortably.
  • the coffin as seen in said figures, consists of a box (1) formed from two halves (1a) which are identical and symmetrical, at least along the longitudinal axis (2), wherein each of said halves is made of a biodegradable, compostable water-soluble and non-toxic material, consisting of a mixture of a PVOH polymer, plus additives and fillers and obtained via injecting said material into a mold. Both halves have between 5% and 12% moisture in weight.
  • the material comprises between 40% and 80% in weight of a PVOH resin, between 10% and 50% in weight of plasticizers and between 5% and 10% in weight of fillers or additives.
  • both halves (1a) are joined together by a joint (3) that closes them by clipping and wherein, in addition, a water-based mixture is inserted as a seal along with the aforementioned PVOH box material, additives and fillers, which after applying some vertical or horizontal pressure for several seconds or minutes, creates said seal.
  • the hole is formed when joining the two halves of the box, since one half has a portion of the recess of the hole that joins the portion of the recess of the hole located on the other half of the box.
  • the hole or holes in the case of including more than one, may be arranged on one or both halves of the box.
  • Figure 5 shows how, in the inside of each half (1 a) of the box, the presence of reinforcements (6) has been proposed which extend both cross-ways and longitudinally in order to provide increased resistance to the same.
  • said figure 5 shows how, in addition, on each of said halves (1a) thin areas (7) have been proposed, preferably by way of channels, in which the material is thinner, between 0.5 and 1 mm, than the rest of the part, with the purpose of facilitating breaking thereof once buried in order to enable moisture from the soil to enter inside of it and accelerate decomposition.
  • the dimensions of the coffin are preferably 800 mm to 1200 mm long, 600 mm wide and 250 mm high, with a volume of approximately 60 to 160 liters and an unladen weight of approximately 5 to 18 kg.
