Description

The present invention is an urn storage device that uses a warehouse-type container formed by mounting and fixing panels with heat insulating material integrally attached to an iron frame made of a rectangular three-dimensional frame, and provides an urn storage room equipped with an urn storage shelf for storing a large number of urns (generally urns are stored in boxes covered with covers, and in the present invention, these will be collectively referred to as "urns"), and in which electricity is supplied to the electrical facilities in the urn storage room by a solar power generation device installed on the roof. The urn storage device manufactured at the factory is lifted by a crane, loaded onto a truck, and transported to the grounds of a cemetery or temple, where it can be easily and quickly installed and fixed using anchor bolts, and the site can be small. Also, it does not require a luxurious building like the currently widely used ossuaries for perpetual memorial services, and can be provided at a very low cost. The exterior of the urn storage device is a warehouse-type container, but the interior of the urn storage room is designed to hold a memorial service for the spirit of the deceased and to invite the deceased to a peaceful and eternal sleep.

When a new graveyard is acquired and the ashes are interred there, the fees for the graveyard and gravestone are very expensive. Also, many people do not want to have a grave because their family home or relatives live far away and cannot easily visit the grave. For this reason, some people choose to have a perpetual memorial service, in which the management and memorial service of the remains is entrusted to a cemetery or temple with convenient transportation, without having a graveyard. However, this is also extremely expensive, and in the end, the remains are removed from the urn and memorialized together in a single grave called a "common grave," which may not be the desired memorial for the bereaved family. Furthermore, there is the issue that after the remains are communally interred, they cannot be divided or reburied.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and aims to provide an urn storage device that uses a warehouse-type container that is equipped with an urn storage room equipped with urn storage shelves that can store a large number of urns, and that is made of a rectangular steel frame with panels that are attached to an insulating material so that the container can be lifted by a crane, loaded onto a truck, and installed and fixed on the grounds of a cemetery or temple, or moved to other locations.The interior of the urn storage room is designed to offer prayers for the souls of the deceased and to induce them to a peaceful and eternal sleep, and the equipment in the urn storage room is supplied with electricity by a solar power generation device installed on the top plate.

Then, as described above, a warehouse-type container that can be manufactured in a factory, hoisted by a crane and loaded onto a truck for installation and fixing on the grounds of a cemetery or temple, or moved to other locations, is formed, and an urn storage room equipped with storage shelves capable of storing a large number of urns is formed within the warehouse-type container. A retrospective search was conducted to see whether an urn storage device that uses this warehouse-type container was disclosed as a prior art document in past patent documents, but not a single prior art document was found.

In the present invention, a steel panel 4 with an insulating material 3 fixed integrally to the inside is attached and fixed within each of the six rectangular frames 2 of an iron frame 1 consisting of a rectangular three-dimensional frame, and a covering plate 5 is joined and fixed integrally to each of the insulating materials 3 arranged on the inside to form a warehouse-type container 9 with side walls 6a, 6b and side walls 6c, 6d facing each other, a top plate 7 and a floor plate 8, and an urn storage chamber 11 is formed by attaching an opening and closing door 10 for the entrance to one of the side walls 6a to 6d, and a sheet 13 displaying a religious image 12 is attached to all or at least one of the side walls 6b to 6d, except for the side wall 6a to which the opening and closing door 10 is attached, in the urn storage chamber 11. A constellation sheet 15 on which a plurality of constellations 14 are displayed with fluorescent paint is attached to the upper surface of one of the side walls 6a to 6d, a ventilation fan 16 is installed on the upper surface of one of the side walls 6a, 6b or 6c, 6d, a black light 17 for illuminating the constellation sheet 15 is installed in the upper part of one of the side walls 6a, 6b or 6c, 6d, and an LED fluorescent lamp 18 for illuminating the inside of the urn placement storage room 11 is installed in the center of the top plate 6, a plurality of urn placement storage shelves 21 each having a plurality of urn placement shelves 20 on which a plurality of urns 19 are placed are arranged on the floor plate 8 of the urn placement storage room 11 so as to be in contact with the side walls 6c, 6d, and stoppers are provided at the corners of the bottom of the urn placement storage shelves 21. Casters 22 are attached to the urn storage shelf 20, and the urns 19 to be stored on the urn storage shelf 20 of the urn storage shelf 21 are individually placed in each of a plurality of compartments defined by partition walls 23 provided on the urn storage shelf 20. A name plate 24 displaying the name of the deceased person of the urn 19, a candle holder 25 made of LED, and an incense holder 26 are arranged on the urn storage shelf 20 in front of the urn 19 placed on the urn storage shelf 20. A solar power generation device 28 is installed on the roof 27 above the top plate 7, and the electricity generated by the solar power generation device 28 is used to power the ventilation fans 16, black The above problem was solved by adopting a means in which the lights 17, candle holders 25, and incense holders 26 are supplied to the urn storage room 11, and furthermore, a freely expandable partition 30 equipped with casters 29 with stoppers at the bottom is freely installed in front of each of the two rows of urn storage shelves 21 installed along the side walls 6c and 6d of the urn storage room 11, so that each urn storage shelf 21 in which the urn 19 is stored can be shielded, and an altar 31 is installed in front of the side wall 6b of the urn storage room 11, where worshippers can place the urn 19 and worship freely, and the candle holders 25 and incense holders 26 are arranged on the altar 31.

The urn storage device of the present invention, which is configured as described above, is an urn storage room with an urn storage shelf for storing a large number of urns, which is installed in a warehouse-type container manufactured in a factory, and the urn storage room is decorated with an interior that commemorates the spirits of the deceased and invites them to a peaceful and eternal sleep, and electricity is supplied to the urn storage room by a solar power generation device installed on the roof. Although the exterior looks shabby as a warehouse-type container, the interior of the urn storage room is decorated with an interior that commemorates the spirits of the deceased and invites them to a peaceful and eternal sleep, so it is not a shabby urn storage room, but a room that is designed to accommodate the spirits of the deceased. Unlike luxurious permanent memorial facilities built by cemeteries and temples that use computer control to transport individual urns into each worship room and then transport the urns back to a storage location after worship to store them all together, or the construction of a new graveyard, warehouse-type containers manufactured in factories are lifted by a crane and loaded onto trucks and transported to the grounds of the cemetery or temple, where they can be easily installed and secured with anchor bolts, and the installation location can be easily changed, making them inexpensive to provide, reducing the financial burden on users of the device of the present invention and providing an extremely advantageous effect on the management of cemeteries and temples, such as increasing the number of users and parishioners.

This is an underside view of the top plate that constitutes the urn storage device that uses the warehouse-type container of the present invention.

An example of the implementation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in the figure, a steel panel 4 with an insulating material 3 made of polystyrene foam or the like fixed integrally to the inside is attached and fixed to each of the six square frames 2 of an iron frame 1 consisting of a rectangular or cubic rectangular three-dimensional frame, and a covering plate 5 such as plywood is joined and fixed integrally to each insulating material 3 arranged on the inside to form a warehouse-type container 9 with side walls 6a, 6b and side walls 6c, 6d facing each other, a top plate 7 and a floor plate 8, and an urn storage room 11 is formed by attaching an opening and closing door 10 for the entrance to one of the side walls 6a to 6d (installed on side wall 6a in the figure). The warehouse-type container 9 is manufactured in advance at a factory so that it can be lifted, loaded onto a truck, and transported to the site of a cemetery or temple, where it can be installed and fixed with anchor bolts.

Then, on all or at least one of the side walls 6b-6d, excluding the side wall 6a to which the opening and closing door 10 is attached, of the urn storage room 11, a sheet 13 is attached which displays, for example, illustrated images of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, the gods who control the four directions of the heavens, or a religious image 12, such as a pattern, painting, or Buddhist painting, which serves to memorialize the spirit of the deceased and induce the deceased to a peaceful and eternal sleep, while creating an atmosphere in which bereaved family members and other visitors can worship in a tranquil state (in the figure, the sheet 13 displaying the religious image 12 is attached only to the side wall 6b).

A constellation sheet 15 is attached to the top plate 6, and is painted with fluorescent paint to depict multiple constellations 14 that represent the heavenly world where the deceased are said to reside. A ventilation fan 16 is installed on the upper surface of one of the side walls 6a to 6d (in the figure, it is installed on side wall 6c). A black light 17 that illuminates the constellation sheet 15 is installed in the upper part of one of the side walls 6a/6b or 6c/6d. Furthermore, an LED fluorescent lamp 18 that illuminates the inside of the urn storage room 11 is installed in the center of the top plate 6.

The black light 17 is a light that emits ultraviolet light, and when the multiple constellations 14 displayed with fluorescent paint on the constellation sheet 15 are irradiated with the light of the black light 15, the fluorescent material in the fluorescent paint of the constellations 14 glows, making the sky full of stars appear to shine brightly, giving visitors a sense of calm and purity, as if they were under a sky full of stars.

In addition, although not shown, it is recommended to lay a cloth mat sprayed with a deodorizing material, such as negative ion water produced using tourmaline, on the floorboards 8, which has the function of deodorizing odors within the urn storage room 11, and it is also recommended to place charcoal, which has a deodorizing function.

Furthermore, on the floor 8 of the urn storage room 11, a plurality of urn storage shelves 21 each having multiple tiers of urn storage shelves 20 on which a plurality of urns 19 are placed are arranged in contact with the opposing side walls 6c and 6d. Casters 22 with stoppers are attached to the bottom corners of the urn storage shelves 21 to facilitate easy movement.

Furthermore, the urns 19 placed and stored on the urn storage shelf 20 of the urn storage shelf 21 are formed so that each one is placed individually in one of the multiple compartments provided on the urn storage shelf 20. In other words, partition walls 23 are installed between each urn 19 placed on each urn storage shelf 20 to provide storage space for each urn 19, and furthermore, on the urn storage shelf 20 in front of the urn 19 placed on the urn storage shelf 20, a name plate 24 displaying the name of the deceased person of the urn 19, a candle holder 25 made of LED, and an incense holder 26 are arranged.

A solar power generation device 28 is installed on the roof 27 above the urn storage room 11, and the electricity generated by the solar power generation device 28 is supplied to the ventilation fan 16, black light 17, candle holder 25, and incense holder 26 installed inside the urn storage room 11.

In addition, a freely expandable partition 30 equipped with casters 29 with stoppers at the bottom is freely installed on the front of each of the two rows of urn storage shelves 21 installed along the side walls 6c and 6d of the urn storage room 11, so that each urn storage shelf 21 in which an urn 19 is stored can be screened. Furthermore, an altar 31 is installed on the front of the side wall 6b of the urn storage room 11, where worshippers can place urns 19 and worship freely, and a candle holder 25 and an incense holder 26 are also arranged on the altar 31.

The operation of the urn storage device of the present invention will be explained. If the installation site of the urn storage device of the present invention is on the grounds of a temple, and if the deceased person in the urn 19 was a Buddhist and, at the request of the bereaved family, the monk of the temple can place the urn 19 of the individual on the altar in the temple and recite sutras to hold a memorial service on the anniversary of the death. Alternatively, the urn 19 can be moved and placed on the altar 31 arranged in the urn storage room 11, and the candle holder 25 and the incense holder 26 can be energized and lit, and a memorial service can be held with sutras recited. In this case, the temple takes videos or photographs of the memorial service, such as the monk's sutra recitation, and reports it to the bereaved family or relatives by sending it by email or the like. This has the advantage of deepening the relationship between the bereaved family and the temple, improving the religious spirit of the bereaved family, and attracting more parishioners to the temple. The temple can also light the candle holders 25 and incense holders 26 installed in front of all the urns 19 at a fixed time, such as once a month, to hold a memorial service.

Furthermore, with permission from the temple, worshippers can enter the urn storage room 11, place the urn 19 on the worship altar 31 and offer prayers. In this case, a candle holder 25 and an incense holder 26 are installed on the worship altar 31. When worshippers place the urn 19 on the altar 31 and offer prayers, the partitions 30 can be used to shield the urn storage shelves 21, turning the urn storage room 11 into a prayer room exclusively for the deceased, allowing worshippers to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.

In addition, there may be cases where the deceased person in the urn 19 was not a Buddhist, in which case it is possible to place the urn 19 on the altar 31 and offer prayers in the same manner as above, without entering the urn storage room 11 and moving the urn 19 to the main hall of the temple. In this case, a candle holder 25 is used on the altar 31.
