Description

Urna funeraria.Funeral urn

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una urna funeraria, es decir a un receptáculo destinado a albergar las cenizas de un difunto, como resultado de la incineración del mismo, para suministro de las mismas a sus familiares.The present invention relates to an urn funeral home, that is to a receptacle intended to house the ashes of a deceased, as a result of the incineration thereof, to supply them to their relatives.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir una urna con un alto grado de biodegradabilidad, consecuentemente con un menor impacto medioambiental tanto en su producción como en su posterior abandono o eliminación, con un sustancial ahorro energético en su producción y con un bajo nivel de costes para el fabricante, que repercute positivamente a nivel de usuario.The object of the invention is to achieve an urn with a high degree of biodegradability, consequently with a less environmental impact both in its production and in its subsequent abandonment or elimination, with substantial savings energy in its production and with a low level of costs for the manufacturer, which has a positive impact on the user level.

Background of the invention

Como es sabido cada vez es más frecuente la incineración de los cadáveres humanos, en detrimento de los clásicos sistemas de inhumación, tanto por los elevados costes que conlleva la adquisición o utilización de una fosa o un nicho, como por la dependencia física y psicológica que supone la permanencia de un cadáver en un determinado lugar, concretamente en un cementerio.As is known, the incineration of human bodies, to the detriment of classic burial systems, both because of the high costs entails the acquisition or use of a pit or niche, such as for the physical and psychological dependence of permanence of a corpse in a certain place, specifically in a cemetery.

Constituye una práctica totalmente habitual que en las incineraciones se suministren las cenizas del difunto a la familia del mismo, utilizándose para ello una urna que posteriormente es vaciada, generalmente de acuerdo con los deseos expresados por el difunto en vida, como por ejemplo esparciendo dichas cenizas en el mar o en cualquier otro lugar, tras lo que normalmente dicha urna es eliminada.It is a completely common practice that in the incinerations the ashes of the deceased are supplied to the family of the same, using an urn that subsequently it is emptied, generally according to the wishes expressed by the deceased in life, such as spreading these ashes in the sea or anywhere else, after which normally said urn is removed.

Hasta la fecha las urnas funerarias están normalmente realizadas a base de diferentes materiales metálicos, en ocasiones de plástico, y también de madera.To date the funeral urns are normally made of different metallic materials, sometimes of plastic, and also of wood.

Cualquiera de estas soluciones resulta estructuralmente cara, aunque evidentemente con diferente costo en función del tipo de material utilizado, requiere para su fabricación de un notable consumo energético, y por la propia naturaleza no biodegradable de los materiales utilizados repercute negativamente a nivel medioambiental, a lo que hay que añadir además que tales urnas resultan notablemente pesadas y/o poco manejables.Any of these solutions is structurally expensive, although obviously with different cost in depending on the type of material used, required for manufacture of a remarkable energy consumption, and by the own non-biodegradable nature of the materials used repercute negatively at the environmental level, to which we must add also that such urns are remarkably heavy and / or little manageable

Description of the invention

La urna que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en los diferentes aspectos comentados.The urn proposed by the invention resolves the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed, in the different aspects commented.

Para ello y de forma más concreta dicha urna se materializa en un receptáculo de cartón, que por su propia naturaleza ofrece un alto grado de biodegradabilidad, y que además requiere para su obtención de un proceso constructivo simple, con un consumo energético mínimo y con un bajo costo de fabricación, además de resultar ligera y manejable.To do this and more specifically, this urn is materializes in a cardboard receptacle, which by its own Nature offers a high degree of biodegradability, and that in addition requires to obtain a simple construction process, with a minimum energy consumption and with a low manufacturing cost, besides being light and manageable.

De forma más concreta dicha urna está constituida mediante la combinación funcional de dos cajas de cartón, de dimensiones muy próximas, adecuadas para que una pueda introducirse en el seno de la otra, siendo obviamente la caja interna la que está destinada a recibir las cenizas y estando obtenida a partir de una lámina sutil o flexible de cartón o papel resistente, mientras que la caja exterior, de mayor consistencia, protege a la interior, le da a la urna su aspecto estético en situación de cierre e impide que se acceda de inmediato a las cenizas cuando se realiza la
apertura de la urna.More specifically, this urn is constituted by the functional combination of two cardboard boxes, of very close dimensions, suitable for one to be introduced into the other, the internal box being obviously the one destined to receive the ashes and being obtained from a subtle or flexible sheet of cardboard or sturdy paper, while the outer box, of greater consistency, protects the interior, gives the urn its aesthetic appearance in a closed situation and prevents immediate access to ashes when the
urn opening.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención la caja exterior incorpora, en una de sus paredes laterales, una ranura o corte que permite la introducción parcial de un recordatorio o cualquier otro documento identificativo de a quién pertenecen las cenizas alojadas en su interior.According to another of the characteristics of the invention the outer box incorporates, in one of its walls lateral, a groove or cut that allows partial introduction of a reminder or any other identifying document of a who belong the ashes housed inside.

Finalmente y de acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, se ha previsto que tanto una como otra caja se cierren exclusivamente a base de solapas abatibles, con cualquier medio de autoarmado convencional, en orden a evitar que para el cierre de la urna se haga necesaria la utilización de adhesivos, lo que repercutiría negativamente a nivel de costos. De forma más concreta, la caja interior cuenta con cuatro solapas en cada una de sus embocaduras, que al alojarse en el interior de la caja externa conjuntamente con esta última, determinan siete solapas a nivel del fondo de la urna, superpuestas y afectando a la totalidad del mismo, lo que hace prácticamente imposible que se produzca la menor fuga de las cenizas alojadas en su interior. A nivel de la base superior de la urna se establecen, también en situación de cierre, otras siete solapas superpuestas, cuatro de la caja interior y tres de la exterior, ya que esta última requiere de una pestaña para armado del cierre, en una de sus solapas, que imposibilita la existencia de una cuarta solapa, como sucede también a nivel inferior.Finally and according to another of the characteristics of the invention, it is envisioned that both one and another box are closed exclusively based on flip flaps, with any means of conventional self-assembly, in order to avoid that for the closure of the urn the use of adhesives, which would have a negative impact on the cost level. From more specifically, the inner box has four flaps in each of its mouths, which when staying inside the external box together with the latter, determine seven flaps at the bottom of the urn, superimposed and affecting the all of it, which makes it virtually impossible to produce the least leakage of the ashes lodged inside. TO level of the upper base of the urn are set, also in closing situation, another seven overlapping flaps, four of the inner box and three outer ones, since the latter requires a tab for arming the closure, in one of its flaps, which impossible the existence of a fourth flap, as it happens also at the lower level.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como la urna funeraria que la invención propone está constituida a partir de dos cajas (1) y (2), de cartón u otro material similar, dimensionalmente muy próximas, de manera que la caja (2) es susceptible de acoplarse con un cierto ajuste en el seno de la caja (1), materializándose dichas cajas (1) y (2) en sendos cuerpos tubulares, preferentemente cuadrangulares, aunque podrían adoptar una sección diferente, prolongados por sus embocaduras en solapas (3) y (4), que en el caso de la extremidad inferior de la urna son cuatro para la caja interior (2) y tres para la exterior (1), dimensionalmente coincidentes con el fondo de las mismas, de manera que para cada caja se establece un fondo de pared cuádruple, que asegura un perfecto cierre de la misma, cierre que a tal nivel inferior se ve complementado por la superposición de los fondos de ambas cajas, lo que da lugar a que en dicho fondo participen siete paredes superpuestas.In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the funeral urn proposed by the invention is constituted from two boxes (1) and (2), of cardboard or other similar material, dimensionally very close, so that the box (2) is likely to engage with a certain adjustment in the within the box (1), said boxes (1) and (2) materializing in two tubular bodies, preferably quadrangular, although they could adopt a different section, prolonged by their mouthpieces in flaps (3) and (4), which in the case of the limb Bottom of the urn are four for the inner box (2) and three for the exterior (1), dimensionally coincident with the bottom of the same, so that for each box a fund of quadruple wall, which ensures a perfect closure of it, closure that at such a lower level is complemented by overlap of the funds of both boxes, which results in that fund seven overlapping walls participate.

Por su parte a nivel superior, es decir, a nivel de la embocadura de la urna, la caja interior (2) cuenta también con cuatro solapas (4) dimensionalmente coincidentes con su embocadura y abatibles igual que en el caso de la extremidad inferior, y la caja exterior (1) cuenta con tan sólo tres solapas (3), ya que una de ellas cuenta con una aleta de cierre (5), para armado del mismo, aleta introducible entre los cuerpos (1-2) de las dos cajas, lo mismo que sucede a nivel de la base inferior.For its part at the higher level, that is, at the level from the mouth of the urn, the inner box (2) also counts with four flaps (4) dimensionally matching their embocadura and folding like in the case of the limb bottom, and the outer box (1) has only three flaps (3), since one of them has a closing flap (5), to armed of the same, introducible fin between the bodies (1-2) of the two boxes, the same thing that happens at the level of the lower base.

Tal como anteriormente se ha dicho la caja interior (2) estará obtenida a base de una lámina sutil y flexible de cartón o papel resistente, mientras que la caja exterior (1) es sustancialmente más sólida, para dar a la urna en su conjunto la debida estabilidad formal.As previously stated in the box interior (2) will be obtained based on a subtle and flexible sheet made of cardboard or resistant paper, while the outer box (1) is substantially more solid, to give the urn as a whole the due formal stability.

Como complemento de la estructura descrita la caja exterior (1) incorpora en una de sus paredes laterales y a un nivel en altura adecuado, un corte o ranura transversal (6), que permite la introducción entre el cuerpo de ambas cajas de un recordatorio (7), de los que normalmente imprime la funeraria o se entregan en la misma por parte de los familiares del difunto, que en situación de montaje emerge sustancialmente al exterior a través de dicha ranura (6), como se observa especialmente en la figura 2, y que constituye el medio identificador de las cenizas alojadas en la urna.As a complement to the structure described, the outer box (1) incorporates in one of its side walls and a adequate height level, a cross section or groove (6), which allows the introduction between the body of both boxes of a reminder (7), of which the funeral home normally prints or is delivered in the same by the relatives of the deceased, who in mounting situation it emerges substantially outside through of said slot (6), as seen especially in Figure 2, and that constitutes the identifying means of the ashes housed in the urn.

De esta manera y quedando la urna perfectamente identificada, en el momento de su apertura y tras el desplegamiento de las solapas (3) correspondientes a la caja exterior (1), las cenizas alojadas en su interior siguen manteniéndose ocultas por el cierre de la caja interior (2), siendo además necesaria también la apertura de esta última para acceder a las mismas.In this way and leaving the urn perfectly identified, at the time of opening and after deployment of the flaps (3) corresponding to the outer box (1), the Ashes housed inside remain hidden by the closure of the inner box (2), being also necessary also the opening of the latter to access them.

La especial estructuración de las dos cajas que participan en la urna hace que la cantidad de adhesivo necesario para la conformación de la misma sea mínimo, el imprescindible para convertir a las dos láminas de las que se parte en los cuerpos tubulares (1) y (2), ya que el cierre de estos elementos, es decir, el cierre de ambas cajas, de acuerdo con lo anteriormente expuesto, se realiza por simple autoarmado, en ausencia de adhesivos, lo que hace que la urna resulte extraordinariamente económica tanto por su propia estructuración como por su proceso constructivo, y que tras su eliminación resulte fácilmente biodegradable.The special structuring of the two boxes that participate in the urn makes the amount of adhesive needed for the conformation of it is minimal, the essential for convert to the two sheets from which the bodies are split tubular (1) and (2), since the closure of these elements, that is, the closing of both boxes, in accordance with the above, it is done by simple self-assembly, in the absence of adhesives, which makes the urn extraordinarily economical both for its own structuring as per its constructive process, and that after its removal is easily biodegradable.
