Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to coffins for storing and burying dead bodies. More specifically, the present invention relates to a coffin that can easily store and replenish coolant such as dry ice.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a state where a corpse is placed inside a coffin,
When a funeral is held and the farewell ceremony is over, they are moved to a crematorium and cremated. In this way, the body remains in the casket for quite a while, from death to cremation, and can be rotten. Therefore, it is common practice to pack dry ice around the body inside the coffin to prevent the body from decay.

[0003]

However, every time dry ice is to be replenished, it is necessary to open the lid of the coffin and work each time, which is very troublesome. In addition, the casket lid was opened each time dry ice was replenished, which caused inconvenience for the bereaved family to cause new sadness.

[0004] On the other hand, dry ice stored in a pack made of synthetic resin is generally used. However, if such a pack is put in a coffin and cremated, harmful substances such as dioxin may be generated.

[0005] As described above, there is a demand for a coffin that can easily replenish and remove dry ice for preventing decay of a corpse. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a casket that can easily replenish and remove dry ice without opening the lid of the casket.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a casket including a cooling member or a cooling member provided on at least one of a longitudinal side structure, a transverse side structure, a bottom structure, and a coffin lid. An accommodation portion for accommodating the odor material is provided, and each of the accommodation portions is opened to the outside of the coffin, and an opening through which a cooling material or a deodorant can be inserted without opening the coffin lid. Is provided.

[0007] The coffin according to claim 2 of the present application is the coffin according to claim 1.
In the above coffin, the accommodating portion and the inside of the coffin main body are characterized by communicating with each other through a gap in order to flow cool air into a space where the corpse is laid.

[0008] The coffin described in claim 3 of the present application is the coffin described in claim 1.
Or, in the coffin of 2, the housing portion is constituted by an outer wall plate, and a plurality of lattice members attached at a predetermined distance from the outer wall plate toward the inside of the coffin main body. It is.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. A coffin according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 10 in FIGS. 1 to 3, comprises an elongated wooden box-shaped coffin body 12 in which a corpse is accommodated. The coffin body 12 has a pair of opposed longitudinal side structures 14, a facing transverse side structure 16, and a bottom structure 18, and has an open upper surface.

The casket 10 also includes a wooden casket lid 30 that covers an opening on the upper surface of the casket body 12. As shown in FIG. 1, a window 3 is provided in a substantially upper half of the coffin lid 30 so that the bereaved or attendees can face the body contained in the coffin 10.
2 are provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, a recess 19 is provided in the lower part of the lateral side structure 16 of the coffin main body 12 for holding the coffin by hand when carrying the coffin.

The casket body 12 and the casket lid 30 are preferably made of hiba wood which contains natural hinokitiol and has the effects of preventing bacteria, preserving and deodorizing. In addition, in this specification, "length direction" means the direction substantially parallel to the corpse accommodated in the casket main body 12, and "transverse direction" means the direction substantially orthogonal to the corpse. are doing.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each of the longitudinal side structures 14 includes an upper member 14a and a lower member 14b extending parallel to each other at a predetermined interval, and an upper member 14a and a lower member. A pair of end members (not shown) for connecting the ends of the upper member 14b and a plurality of vertical members 14c for connecting the upper member 14a and the lower member 14b at an intermediate portion between the upper member 14a and the lower member 14b. are doing.

An outer wall plate 14d is mounted on the outer surface of the longitudinal side structure 14. The outer wall plate 14d is made of a single thin plate because the strength can be obtained by attaching the outer wall plate 14d to the frame made of the upper member 14a, the lower member 14b, and the vertical member 14c in consideration of weight reduction of the coffin. Alternatively, a plurality of narrow plates may be used. The connection between the upper member 14a and the lower member 14b and the end member, the vertical member 14c, and the attachment of the outer wall plate 14d are assembled by joining a tenon and the like, and no metal fittings such as nails are used. . Therefore, only the remains remain after the cremation, and no foreign matter such as hardware remains.

As best shown in FIG. 5, between the vertical members 14c and between the vertical members 14c and the end members, at a distance A inward from the outer wall plate 14d,
A plurality of lattice members 20 are attached with a predetermined interval B therebetween. Thereby, the outer wall plate 14d and the grid member 2
A gap having a width A is formed between the gap member 0 and the space, and the gap communicates with a space inside the gap member (that is, the side opposite to the outer wall plate 14 d) via a gap between the lattice members 20.

The above-mentioned gap is formed by a coolant 2 such as dry ice.
4 is a coolant accommodating portion 22 for accommodating the coolant. Since the coolant accommodating portion 22 communicates with the space where the corpse is laid, the cool air from the coolant 24 flows into the space where the corpse is laid, as shown by an arrow C in FIG. The body is efficiently covered with cold air.

As shown in FIG. 4, an opening 26 is formed in the upper part of the coolant accommodating portion 22 so as to be opened to the outside of the coffin 10 and into which the coolant 24 is inserted. It is closed at 28. Thereby, the coolant 24 can be inserted without opening the coffin lid 30.

Although the coolant accommodating portion 22 provided in the longitudinal side structure 14 has been described above, the same applies to the transverse side structure 16, the bottom structure 18, and the coffin lid 30. A coolant housing (not shown) having a structure is provided.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments of the invention, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention described in the claims. It goes without saying that it is included in.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the description has been made assuming that the coolant 24 such as dry ice is accommodated in the coolant insertion portion 22, but a deodorant is used instead of the coolant 24. May be accommodated.

[0021]

According to the present invention, since the coolant can be inserted into the casket without opening the coffin lid, it is free from the complicated work for the funeral bureau and a new sadness for the bereaved family Will not be done. Also, because you can easily take out the dry ice pack,
The generation of harmful substances during cremation is avoided. Further, by putting an aromatic deodorant in a part of the coolant accommodating portion, an unpleasant odor can be distracted.
