However, in the pet monument of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, relics such as ashes and remains are merely configured to be accommodated in the relic storage recess 7 for storing relics of the base 2. Further, the remains mounting plate 4 which is the main body of the monument is merely a structure on which the remains are mounted.
In the pet memorial set of Patent Documents 2 and 3, the remains and the like and the pet memorial 5 are only accommodated separately in the decoration box 4. The pet monument 5 is merely a structure in which simple characters and patterns are applied to the surface.
In addition, the pet memorial precursor and pet memorial of Patent Document 4 are merely a configuration in which simple letters and patterns are provided on the surface of the memorial.
Further, the plastic image of a person, a pet, or the like in the above-mentioned Patent Document 5 is provided with a simple souvenir storage unit 15 for storing remains and remains on the pedestal portion 13, and a simple plastic image 11 of a person, a pet, etc. on the pedestal portion. belongs to.
That is, in the inventions of Patent Documents 1 to 5, there is no idea of processing the remains and ashes, and the remains and ashes are stored as they are in a receiving place such as a pedestal. There is only a technical idea. As for the souvenir main body placed on the pedestal, the structure or production of the main body is simply performed with characters, patterns, photographs, etc. using general drawing materials. There is no idea of taking part of the production of these main bodies using the above. For this reason, these traditional monuments, monuments, memorial statues, etc. are somehow unsatisfactory for mourning the deceased and dead pets, and they are well-known to the relatives with patterns made of mysterious and closely related materials. It could not give a feeling of peace, unity, or a sense of security.

  Therefore, the present invention eliminates the disadvantages of the above-mentioned conventional monuments and monuments, etc., the deceased person and dead pet relatives can remember the deceased person and the dead pet, more sufficient sense of peace and unity, An object is to provide a souvenir that can provide a sense of security and a method for manufacturing the same.

In order to achieve the above object, the souvenir of the present invention forms a pattern in which the ashes and / or remains are made as a whole or part of the design material inside the souvenir body made of transparent material. It is characterized by being.
Moreover, the manufacturing method of the memorabilia of this invention heats the canvas member for pattern production which consists of a transparent material to a softened state or a semi-molten state, and to this heated canvas member, ashes or a remains piece, or both, As a whole or a part of the design material, a pattern is formed by attaching or embedding, and the canvas member on which this pattern is formed is immersed in a predetermined position in a mold in which the same kind or different kinds of transparent material is dissolved, and integrated with pressure. It is characterized by forming a souvenir body.

According to the memorabilia described in claim 1, the memorabilia body made of a transparent material has an internal pattern formed therein, and the internal pattern can be seen from the outside. The internal pattern is formed by using ashes and remains as a design material or as a part of the design material. Since the ashes and remains of the deceased and dead pets are used for the material of the internal pattern, it is not just a aesthetic visual impression on the internal pattern, but synergistically with the internal pattern By seeing you, you can deeply mourn the deceased and dead pets. In addition, it is possible to give a greater sense of peace, sense of unity or a sense of security to the relative who sees the internal pattern made of materials including ashes.
Of course, since the pattern is formed as an internal pattern of the souvenir body, unlike the surface pattern, it cannot be touched from the outside, and can be eternal without peeling or wearing. .

According to the method for manufacturing a souvenir described in claim 2, a canvas member is prepared for producing a pattern made of a transparent material in order to manufacture a souvenir body. Then, in a state where the canvas member is in a softened state or a semi-molten state, the ashes and remains are attached or embedded as a design material or as a part of the design material to form a pattern. In this way, by forming a pattern with a design material including ashes and ashes on a canvas member prepared in advance, the pattern as designed can be accurately and reliably produced.
The canvas member on which the pattern is produced is immersed in a predetermined position in a mold in which a transparent material of the same kind or different kind is dissolved, and is integrated under pressure, so that the pattern produced on the canvas member is included as an internal pattern. The souvenir body can be molded reliably. In this case, since the pattern is immersed in a state in which the pattern is formed in advance on the canvas member, the positional variation is suppressed to a minimum even during molding in the mold, so that the pattern is deformed or distorted during molding. It appears reliably and accurately in the finished molded body without sag.
The external shape of the souvenir body itself can be freely formed into a predetermined shape by the mold. Further, by applying pressure, it is possible to prevent bubbles and the like from remaining at the interface between the canvas member and the molding material outside the canvas member, and to obtain a dense and precise molded body.
Therefore, according to the method for manufacturing a souvenir described in claim 2, various patterns can be freely and accurately and precisely based on the design design by drawing the internal pattern using ashes and remains on the canvas member in advance. Can appear as an internal pattern in the body of the memorabilia. In addition, after the souvenir body is molded, it is possible to reliably prevent the internal pattern, the ashes constituting the souvenir, and the remains from being scattered from the souvenir body or being touched by others.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a souvenir according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2A to 2G are views for explaining a method for manufacturing a souvenir according to the embodiment of the present invention.

A souvenir according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This souvenir is organized as a memorial. That is, it consists of a commemorative main body 10 and a base 20 that are commemorative main bodies.
The commemorative body 10 is made of a transparent acrylic resin. The transparent acrylic resin includes a colored transparent acrylic resin. Moreover, a translucent acrylic resin is included.

The commemorative main body 10 has an internal pattern 11 formed in the main body 10.
The internal pattern 11 is formed by using either one or both of the deceased ashes and the remains as a design material 11 a constituting the internal pattern 11. The above-mentioned remains are the ones after cremation and include small pieces having various shapes such as granular shapes. As the design material 11 a for forming the internal pattern 11, other materials can be used together with the deceased ashes and remains. Other materials are various materials used for art and craft such as paints and pigments.
The outer shape, pattern, and color of the internal pattern 11 are not particularly limited, and can be designed in a free shape, pattern, and color.
The ashes and remains are those who have a relationship with a person who owns a souvenir (a memorial piece), pet ashes, and remains. As a result, the commemorative gifts will in principle be made to order.

In addition to the internal pattern 11 containing the ashes and remains as the design material 11a, the memorial body 10 can contain a landscape photograph and other photographs and objects in a sealed state.
In addition, on the surface of the commemorative body 10, characters, figures, and the like can be expressed using expression means such as printing and engraving.

  The base 20 can be made of metal, wood, resin, or other materials. By fixing the main body 10 on the upper surface of the base 20, the commemorative frame is completed. The memorial main body 10 and the base 20 can be fixed by a known method such as adhesion or screw fixing.

In the above, the commemorative body 10 can be made of an acrylic resin or other transparent resin. It can also be made of transparent glass. It is also possible to configure two different types of resins in an integrated state. Moreover, the structure which combined glass and resin integrally is also possible. By combining different materials, a more unique commemorative body 10 can be configured. In short, the commemorative main body 10 may be made of a transparent material. However, by using an acrylic resin, it is possible to provide a product that has good transparency and weather resistance and is hardly scratched.
The outer shape of the commemorative body 10 is not particularly limited, and can be formed in various shapes.
Similarly, the shape of the base 20 is not particularly limited, and can be formed into various shapes on the condition that the main body 10 can be placed and fixed.

  The souvenir of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned “pipe”. It may be a trophy or other memorabilia as an item to be placed indoors such as a table or a shelf. It may also be a souvenir as a brooch or other ornament. In the case of a souvenir as an ornament, an auxiliary tool for attaching the souvenir body constituting the internal pattern to the body is attached in place of the base 20.

Next, a souvenir manufacturing method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In this embodiment, a case will be described in which a commemorative frame is manufactured using an acrylic resin.

In the manufacturing method of the present invention, a canvas member 10a made of an acrylic resin is prepared. This canvas member 10a is a member for producing the above-described internal pattern 11 (see FIG. 1) in advance. In the present embodiment, a plate-like one is used.
First, the canvas member 10a is heated to a softened state or a semi-molten state by the heater H ((A) of FIG. 2).

Next, a pattern is drawn using the design material 11a with respect to the canvas member 10a which became the softened state or the semi-molten state by being heated ((B) of FIG. 2). This pattern will later become the internal pattern 11.
As the design material 11a, the ashes of the deceased are used as the material. The remains of the deceased cremation can be used as material. Of course, both the ashes and the remains can be used as the design material 11a. Furthermore, as the design material 11a, the ashes and remains can be used together with other materials as a part of the design material. Other materials include heat-resistant paints, powdered minerals, pigments, and the like, but various materials can be used except those that are greatly modified by heat.

  The pattern is formed by the design material 11a by attaching or embedding the material of the ashes or the remains of bone to the canvas member 10a in a softened state or a semi-molten state. By making the canvas member 10a softened or semi-molten, the design material 11a can be reliably fixed to the canvas member 10a. Therefore, it is possible to accurately and precisely draw a pattern as designed in advance.

When a pattern made of the design material 11a is formed on the canvas member 10a ((C) in FIG. 2), the canvas member 10a on which this pattern is formed is immersed in a mold M in which an acrylic resin is previously melted ( (E) of FIG.
Prior to immersion in the mold M, the alignment member 10b is superimposed on the canvas member 10a on which the pattern is formed, if necessary, so that the pattern formed on the canvas member 10a is placed between the alignment member 10b. You may make it pinch | interpose to (D of FIG. 2). By doing in this way, when the canvas member 10a is immersed in the said shaping | molding die M, it can prevent that a pattern collapses easily.
Since the shape of the molding space of the mold M is the outer shape of the commemorative main body 10 to be molded, it is set as a molding space that matches the shape of the commemorative main body 10 designed in advance.
The canvas member 10a is immersed in a predetermined position in the molding space. As a result, the pattern formed on the canvas member 10a can appear at a predetermined internal position of the commemorative body 10 to be molded.
Of course, the temperature of the molten acrylic resin should be equal to or higher than the melting temperature. However, the temperature is suitable for expelling bubbles and the like described later, and the immersed canvas member 10a rapidly melts. Thus, the temperature at which the shape or the like of the formed pattern is not greatly broken is determined in consideration of the shape and size of the molding space.

After the canvas member 10a is immersed in a predetermined position of the mold M, the mold M is sealed with a mating mold M1 or the like, and the inside of the mold M is pressurized ((F) in FIG. 2).
The mold M can be heated as necessary, and the molding space (containing the resin) in the mold M can be kept at a predetermined temperature. By the pressurization, bubbles existing in the molding space are removed, and the immersed canvas member 10a and the previously melted acrylic resin are integrated in a state where the boundary disappears.
In short, the degree of pressurization may be a pressure that can expel bubbles from the molten resin. An appropriate pressure is employed depending on the shape and size of the molding space.

After holding for a predetermined time, it is cooled and the resin in the molding space of the mold M is solidified. Thereafter, the molded resin is taken out from the mold M.
The taken-out resin is further subjected to a finishing process such as cutting as necessary to obtain a predetermined completed shape. As a result, the main body 10 is completed.
Thereafter, the completed commemorative main body 10 and base 20 are fixed to complete the commemorative frame ((G) of FIG. 2).

In the above, the canvas member 10a does not necessarily have a plate shape. Since the canvas member 10a is a member for pre-forming a pattern that will later become the internal pattern 11, depending on what pattern is to be formed, such as a three-dimensional pattern, the canvas member 10a has a three-dimensional shape suitable for it. It is possible to use the canvas member 10a having a shape including the same.
Further, it is not always necessary to use acrylic resin as the material of the canvas member 10a. It is possible to use other transparent resins. In this case, the canvas member 10a is preferably made of the same resin material as the material that occupies other parts of the main body 10 in commemoration. However, different resin materials are possible.
It is also possible to mold the main body 10 by composing the canvas member 10a as a glass material and immersing the glass material in the molten resin material. In this case, the commemorative main body 10 in which the glass is inherent in the resin is formed.
In short, the canvas member 10a can be made of a transparent material as long as the commemorative body 10 having the internal pattern 11 can be formed.

  In the manufacturing method of the above-described embodiment, it has been described as a manufacturing method of commemoration, but when commemorative accessories such as commemorative trophies other than commemorative commemorative trophies, commemorative brooches, and other commemorative items, Manufacture can be performed in the same manner. That is, regarding the manufacture of the “main body”, it can be manufactured in the same manner as the “main body”, whether it is a fresh main body or a main body of a souvenir other than the new one.

It is a perspective view of a souvenir according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure explaining the manufacturing method of the souvenir concerning the embodiment of the present invention.
