The box frame 2 having an open upper end is formed by detachably assembling the four side plates 13 cooperating with the peripheral portion of the rectangular bottom plate 14.

As shown in FIG. 1, in a cool box 1 of the present invention, a coffin K containing a corpse H is housed in an internal space 7 with the upper lid of the coffin removed by a chain line, In this state, the cooling unit 4 is operated by supplying electricity from an external power supply (not shown) via the electric wiring cord 8, and cool air is supplied to the internal space 7 by the cooling unit 4 to keep the body cool. Therefore, it is not necessary to pack a cooling agent such as dry ice into the coffin K even in summer. The mortuary H inside can be seen from the outside of the cool box 1 via the sight glass 5. The viewing window 5 is made of, for example, triple glass in order to enhance the heat insulating effect.

The refrigerated refrigerated box 1 according to the present invention having the above-described structure.
Thus, for example, the corpse stored in the coffin is kept cool at a funeral ceremony hall or the like. Then, at the time of excavation, first, the electric wiring cord 8 is disconnected from an external power supply (not shown) to stop the operation of the cooling unit 4, and the lid member 3 is attached to the box frame 2.
It is removed more, and the top lid of coffin K is put on the coffin instead. Next, the four surrounding side plates 13 are removed from the bottom plate 14 to expose the coffin K, and only the coffin is carried into a hearse or the like. still,
If the coffin K is moved to the entrance of the hearse using the roller 12a of the pedestal 12 with the coffin K placed on the bottom plate 14, the coffin K can be easily carried in.

FIG. 2 shows the four side plates 13 and the bottom plate 14 constituting the box frame 2 of the cool box 1 in a separated state. When not in use or after the casket, the box frame 2 is separated as shown and stored or transported together with the lid member 3 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, a hook-shaped curved hooking piece 15 is integrally formed at the lower end of each side plate 13, and an engaging hole 16 is formed at the peripheral edge of the corresponding bottom plate 14. A retaining shaft 17 is provided, and the four side plates 13 are attached to the bottom plate 14 by inserting the retaining pieces 15 into the engaging holes 16 and engaging with the corresponding retaining shafts 17. The bottom plate 14 can be detachably assembled at a right angle to the bottom plate 14. 6 (a), 6 (b) and 6 (c) further show details of the above configuration. The latching piece 15 and the latching shaft 17 constitute hinge means for detachably assembling the side plate 13 and the bottom plate 14.

FIG. 4 shows the box 1 assembled by the hinge means in a state in which the coffin K with the upper lid indicated by a chain line removed and the corpse H stored in the internal space 7.
In addition, a seal 18 is interposed in the assembled portion of the box 1, and the elasticity of the seal 18 positively maintains the assembled state and improves the airtightness.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which 4
The combination of a long side plate 13a along the longitudinal direction and a narrow side plate 13b along the width direction among the side plates 13 is shown. As shown, a step 19 is formed at the end of one side plate 13a, and the end of the other side plate 13b is assembled with the seal 20 interposed therebetween. Therefore,
The step 19 prevents the side plate 13 b from falling inward from this position, that is, in the direction of the internal space 7. When the lid member 3 is put on the upper end of the four side plates 13, the lid member 3
The bent outer peripheral edge 3a is engaged with the upper end of the side plate 13, so that the side plate 13 is held without falling outward. In other words, if the lid member 3 is removed from the box frame 2, the upper end of each side plate 13 is released, and the separating operation is easy.
Note that the seal 20 also performs the same function as the seal 18.

In the above embodiment, the hinge means has been described as having a structure that can be disengaged by the hooking piece 15 and the hooking shaft 17, but each side plate 13 is always connected to the bottom plate 14 in a relationship. However, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which it is possible to fold each other at the hinge means from the assembled state.

As described above, when the mortuary packed in the casket is used for the assemblable mortuary box 1 according to the present invention, the refrigerated box is separated or folded up to a funeral ceremony hall or the like. Transport at the site, the coffin on the bottom plate 14
The K is placed, and the side plates 13 are assembled to the bottom plate 14 to form the box frame 2. Then, the upper lid of the coffin K is removed, and the lid member 3 is put on the upper opening 2 a of the box frame 2. Thereafter, when the cooling unit 4 is energized and operated, cool air is supplied to the internal space 7 and the refrigerated body H in the coffin K is kept cool. Cooling unit 4
When the cover member 3 is disposed at a position corresponding to a substantially central portion of the corpse H stored in the coffin, the circulation of cool air in the internal space 7 is good, and a remarkable cooling effect can be obtained. However, the cooling unit 4 can be provided at another position of the box 1.

As described above, when the coffin of the corpse H in the cool state is removed, the operation of the cooling unit 4 is stopped, the cover member 3 is removed, the upper cover of the coffin K is put on, and each side plate 13 is opened. If you expose the coffin K, you can easily prepare the casket. After the coffin, the disassembled side plate and bottom plate can be compacted by superimposing them together with the lid member 3, so that they can be easily transported and used repeatedly.
