DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ashes container for semi-permanently storing ashes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the remains of a deceased person are usually housed in a pot made of pottery (ware) and buried mainly in a cemetery with so-called permanent memorial service.

However, in practice, the porcelain vases are usually of a non-sealing type, are not completely shielded from the outside atmosphere even by natural weathering, and the porcelain is not susceptible to impact or the like. Relatively vulnerable, especially in Japan, where there are many earthquakes, etc., it is easy to be destroyed in the event of an emergency, and gravestones and monuments are likely to be separated from the urns and eventually go missing. However, from the viewpoint of its permanent storage, the fact is that its durability is extremely low in reliability.

[0004] These desire instinct for permanent preservation include:
In addition to preserving the remains of the main body, it often includes, for example, the history of the deceased, the marking of tombstones, the name of a sword, and the desire to preserve the description of poetry. In reality, there is a great possibility that these will be destroyed and disappear in a relatively short period of time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described aspects, and has corrosion resistance and fracture resistance that can substantially satisfy the desire for semi-permanent storage.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a relatively inexpensive, semi-permanently associative container capable of storing ashes and related descriptions in a semi-permanent manner, having a moderate feeling of solemnity and awe, as well as a feeling of emotion and security.

[0006]

For this purpose, the present invention has an integrally formed top surface of a size capable of accommodating a ceramic urn, and a cylindrical surface having a description surface of a predetermined area. A container made of a corrosion-resistant, high-strength metal material, comprising a highly rigid substantially cylindrical container member and a compatible flat bottom member, wherein the urn is stored between the two members. The above object is achieved by configuring this semi-permanent preservation ashes container so as to completely seal the entire periphery of the ashes by welding.

[0007]

According to the semi-permanent ashes container according to the present invention as described above, the remains of the deceased and its accompanying description can be stored substantially semi-permanently at a relatively low cost.

[0008]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a standard ashes container according to a first embodiment of the present invention; FIG. FIG. 2 shows a front view of the exploded configuration.

According to the present invention, a well-known pottery jar conventionally used in principle and a dedicated metal bone container used in the present invention are housed inside after the funeral, and are completely hermetically sealed by welding. It is configured so that
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an integrally formed top surface 2 and a description surface 3 having a predetermined area on a cylindrical surface made of a metal material such as high-grade stainless steel having high corrosion resistance and high breaking strength, respectively. After storing the substantially cylindrical container member 1 having the shape and the porcelain urn 5, an essentially circular bottom member (seal) for closing the bottom of the container 1 and completely hermetically sealing the entire periphery of the container 1 by welding. Lid) 4.

For the purpose of semi-permanent storage, for example, gold (A
Although non-corrosive precious metals such as g) can be used, they are not suitable because they are expensive and can be stolen or stolen.

It is extremely advantageous that the structural shape is mainly cylindrical in view of pressure resistance and impact resistance. In addition, the complete sealing of the last bottom member 4 is performed by electric welding, inert gas welding, laser welding, etc., depending on the metal material of the container.
Various welding techniques can be used, and if necessary,
Further, it is possible to use vacuum suction or the like of the air in the container immediately before sealing in order to further improve the permanent preservability.

For the production of these container members, methods such as casting and forging can be used. In addition, for giving a solemn feeling, awe, etc. to the appearance, for example, molding and stamping at the time of casting and forging, Alternatively, these features can be freely provided by decorative design by sculpture, etching, plating, edging, inlaying (fitting), and the like.

(Other Embodiments) 1) The design of this container depends on the shape of the ceramic urn and the content of the description surface, for example, as shown in FIG. Various embodiments such as a flat surface portion 2a or a cylindrical surface portion description surface 3a as shown in FIG. 4 and a top member 2a and a bottom member 4a having a partially circular shape as shown in FIG. Can also be adopted.

2) Furthermore, the ashes container of the present invention is not limited to a single personal use, and for example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 corresponding to FIGS. It is also possible to arrange the partition wall 6 inside and form the two urns 5a and 5b individually for two persons such as a couple.

3) Each of the above embodiments is intended to be used exclusively as a ashes container for semi-permanent preservation. For example, it can be used as a bell or a half bell while alive. 7 (a) and 7 (b) are external views of an example of an embodiment which can be used not only for a mere ashes container having a substantially cylindrical shape but also for an elegant tomb-shaped or half-bell-shaped tomb. .

(A) is a front view, and (b) is a rear view. An elegant decorative relief 8 is provided on the front of the bell-shaped main body 7, and a back is provided on the back. , And a description surface 9 having an appropriate area.

The material of the bell-shaped main body 7 is the same as that of each of the above-described embodiments, and when used as a bell or a half bell before birth, the circular bottom member (seal lid) 4 is not used, and the main body 7 is not used.
When appropriately used and used as an ashes container after submersion, the bottom member 4 is closed at the bottom of the main body 7 and the entire periphery of both is completely hermetically sealed by welding. It is exactly the same as in.

Also, in this embodiment, similarly to the other embodiments shown in FIG. 5, a partition wall 6 is provided inside a bell-shaped (semi-bell) type main body container 7 so that bones for two persons such as a couple can be used. Vase 5a,
Of course, it is also possible to house 5b separately.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The desire to preserve the remains of the deceased, together with its accompanying description, in a semi-permanent manner with a somewhat elegant appearance, can be realized at a relatively low cost and with a sense of security, and that the person can select and purchase while living. Is also a great advantage.
