DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a biodegradable urn for storing tombs, and more particularly to a biodegradable urn for storing ashes and a desired crest on an outer peripheral surface using a transfer foil. The present invention relates to a grave for storing a tombstone which is biodegraded by the action of microorganisms on a pedestal base, in which the emblem is combined with a transfer mark of a decorative mark or a dish on which a microbial carrier chip is placed.

2. Description of the Related Art The life span of a person is finite and unfortunately it is not always possible to fulfill its natural life due to various factors. However, graves are places where the dead are buried, and in general graves are built instead of soil. It is a funeral home, and remains are mostly stored in gravestone storage urns. In recent years, especially in rural areas, it has become difficult to secure graveyards especially in urban areas and in the suburbs.For example, communal graveyards are sometimes seen. There was a problem that the storage space was limited because it was placed inside the base.

[0003]

In recent years, even in Japan, the tide of aging has been remarkable, but it does not necessarily mean that people will return to their hometowns or depopulated areas in search of cemeteries. It is still difficult to secure. For this reason, it is not always possible to return to the ancestral land and districts in the surrounding area of the city, and it is difficult to store the remains of the ashes at the tombstone because the space of the base is relatively small, Or the difficulty that the stuffing state close to it is inevitable is a problem in the future. However, in Japan, the tombs where the remains are buried are in principle one spirit and one spirit. For example, it is generally accepted that one family can be enshrined in one grave.
It is a common wisdom to enshrine the bereaved family of another family and the enshrined relics of the head family and the branch family, so if you find an effective solution for storing the ashes at the tomb, However, securing the cemetery itself has difficulties, including the residents' environment and leasehold rights.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have made intensive studies and found that they have at least biodegradability, a high degree of freedom in design, and a moldability that can be mass-produced at low cost. The structure of the biodegradable urn for storing tombs, which is a container-type synthetic resin molded body having a shape, and at any point on the outer peripheral surface of the molded body, a transfer foil is used to select a desired figure or pattern such as a family crest. The structure of a biodegradable urn for storing a tomb monument provided with a display of a decorated mark, and a combination of the container-type synthetic resin molded body and a mounting plate, and inside the mounting plate The structure of the biodegradable urn for storing tombs, which is formed by laying a microbial carrier chip that exerts the function of microorganisms on the bottom side and spreading it around the bottom, or the bottom part of the container-type synthetic resin molded body in a thick bottom form Structure of biodegradable urn for storing tombstone .

[0005] In the configuration of the grave urn for storing tombs of the present invention, a biodegradable synthetic resin which is biodegradable by the action of microorganisms in the soil or the like and which can be molded into a container is suitable as a material. Further, in a container-type configuration with a lid for storing ashes, it is necessary that the lid of the container-type urn body is also made of a biodegradable synthetic resin. As a result, the container-type urn body and the lid itself work equally to be biodegraded by the action of microorganisms.

[0006] In the tomb monument urn according to the present invention, the container-type synthetic resin molded body and the mounting plate of the molded body are combined, and the inside of the mounting plate is provided for biodegradation. The microbial carrier chip that exerts the function of the microorganisms is laid on the bottom surface side of the molded body, and is scattered or surrounded to exert the function of the microorganisms. In addition, a microorganism carrier chip involved in the function of microorganisms mixed with soil or compost can be used.

In the present invention, when it is necessary to effectively utilize the action of microorganisms in order to promote the biodegradable action of the container-type synthetic resin molded article, the effective microorganisms contained in the microorganism carrier chip or pellet are removed. This can be achieved by efficiently and effectively utilizing the inherently possessed environmental purification capacity. For example, as a separate material, a fine powder of a silicate mineral such as tourmaline represented by a sintered body that exerts a great effect on environmental purification is added to or mixed with a microbial carrier chip to form a composite composition, and the circulation purification ability is improved. It can further amplify and promote the biodegradable action.

Further, in order to cope with the point that the difference in specific gravity of the material is remarkable compared with the conventional vases for storing tombs made of pottery materials or the like, for example, the main body for storing tombs is replaced with the conventional vases. In addition to the thickness, the synthetic resin molded body for molding the urn made of the biodegradable synthetic resin according to the present invention has a structure in which the bottom portion is selectively formed into a thick bottom form, and a small specific gravity is slightly supplemented. It works to give a sense of weight.

[0009] With the above configuration, the tomb monument storage urn main body conforms to the concept of returning to the soil by biodegradation by microorganisms, and can cope with a shortage of graveyards in an urban area or its suburbs. What you get. Also, in the case of a tomb storage urn, the tomb is generally not completely closed, but is exposed to rain and wind throughout the season, and water and soil, etc., flow into the tomb, so that a biodegradable container-type synthetic resin molded body is used. The storage urn follows a process in which the storage urn returns to the soil because the biodegradation action is advanced by the combined use of a microorganism carrier chip that further contributes to the action of microorganisms. As a result, it is possible to respond to the concept of mourning for the ashes in the future in accordance with the idea that all the creatures return to the soil, and at the same time, secure a storage capacity in the urn to be stored, especially in the graveyard in the city and its suburbs. Can handle shortages.

[0010] In the present invention, a decorative mark such as a desired family crest pattern, characters, figures, patterns, etc. is transferred to any part of the outer peripheral surface of the container-type synthetic resin molded body using a transfer foil and a protective tape. The configuration can be as follows. For example, family crests and the like are objects of succession to ancestors, and displaying decorative marks selected from various characters, figures, and patterns that are venerable to the deceased is also a means consistent with the philosophy of condolences .

For example, in order to display a family pattern, a heat-sensitive adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to a transfer foil, and the base film surface of the film is stuck to a protective tape and cut into a desired family pattern. For this operation, for example, software for a family crest on a computer can be used if necessary. Next, after applying a preheating of about 70 ° C. or more to the heat-sensitive adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive of the family crest pattern, the heat-sensitive adhesive or the pressure-sensitive adhesive is transferred to the outer peripheral surface of the container-type synthetic resin molded article, the protective tape is peeled off, and the desired house is obtained. A family crest display in which the crest pattern is transferred can be given. The heat-sensitive adhesive or the pressure-sensitive adhesive includes, for example, product number EXK-9 manufactured by Toyo Ink.
6-340 can be used.

A conventional thermal transfer method can be used for the transfer display of the decorative mark. However, in the biodegradable urn for storing tombs in the present invention, the transfer foil does not use the thermal transfer stamp foil. The foil adopts a heat-sensitive or pressure-sensitive adhesive applied, and the foil stamping does not use the conventional foil stamping machine,
A simple transfer method can be used. For this reason, in the biodegradable urn for storing tombs according to the present invention, since the outer peripheral surface is not a thermal transfer displayed by the conventional thermal transfer method, the place of the decorative mark is biodegradable by the action of microorganisms even though it is a small part. It works to improve sexual blockage.
