DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a two-stage altar. More specifically, it relates to a two-stage altar that can be placed in a corner of a room with a sense of interior without taking up space, and that can more easily remember the deceased and honor their ancestors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in general households, in order to remember the deceased and honor their ancestors, a Buddha statue, a plaque or a photograph (postmortem) of the deceased is stored inside the altar together with other Buddhist utensils, and the door of the altar is opened in the morning and evening. Open to worship Buddha statues and plaques and memorialize deceased and ancestors

[0003] The Buddhist altar which has been used in the past has a heavy wooden casing with sacred and solemn religious decorations inside and outside, and in some cases, a double door.

[0004]

However, the conventional Buddhist altar has a disadvantage that it occupies a large space. On the other hand, in consideration of the modern housing situation, especially the layout of an urban apartment, there is no room to secure a space between the Buddha and the floor, and if it is placed on a floor or tatami, the living space becomes narrow.

[0005] In addition, the conventional Buddhist altar has a drawback that it is difficult to match with the interior of the room because of its heavy and religious decoration. In particular, the recent trend of interior decoration is more subtle and simpler, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to harmonize the traditional Buddhist altars with other interior furniture.

[0006] Further, in the conventional Buddhist altars, when the ancestors of the ancestors, etc., are to be opened, the doors of the Buddhist altars are opened and the operation is performed remarkably. However, there are requests among those who wish to memorialize the deceased more easily and more closely and respect their ancestors, and there was no Buddhist altar that could satisfy such a request.

[0007] Also, it is common that there is a Buddhist altar in the parents 'house (usually the eldest son lives), and many of the second and third sons who live away from the parents' home think that the Buddhist altar is unnecessary. . However, many of these people display pictures of their deceased parents in their homes, and many consider them to be unsatisfactory on closets. However, in the city, the Buddhist altars are exaggerated, and there has been no one that meets the needs of such people.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and requires no space, can be placed on the wall of a room, etc., as if it were an interior, and can easily remember the deceased and respect their ancestors. It is an object of the present invention to provide a two-stage table-type altar that can perform a work.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided a two-stage table-type altar comprising: (a) a table including a first top plate and legs; and (b) a second table arranged on a rear side of an upper surface of the table. and 2 of the top plate, Ri Do from O upright with erected substantially perpendicularly to the top plate of the (c) second, the evictions is the image of Spoons
It is a member for production .

Since the two-stage table type altar of the present invention has a simple structure in which the second top plate and the screen are arranged on the table, it does not occupy a large space unlike the conventional Buddhist altar. In particular, since there is no housing for accommodating the pedestal like a conventional Buddhist altar, the space occupied above the table is small.

Further, if a photo stand containing a photograph of the deceased is placed on the second top plate, and a flower or the like is provided in the area in front of the first top plate (see FIG. 3A) of the table. It has a very casual, simple look and matches the interior of the room.

In addition, since the second top plate has an open configuration exposed to the outside, it is possible to easily remember a deceased person while watching a photograph of the deceased person and respect their ancestors.

Therefore, by using the two-stage table type altar of the present invention, a space for conversation with the deceased parents can be easily produced in a narrow city life.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the altar of the present invention, and FIGS. 6 and 7 are perspective views showing still another embodiment of the altar of the present invention.

The altar shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is configured by disposing a second top plate 2 and a screen 3 on the upper surface of a table 1.

The table 1 is composed of a first top plate 1a and legs 1b. The table 1 is as small as a table on which a conventional vase is placed, and is not particularly limited in the present invention. The height from the floor to the second top plate 2 is about 750 to 1200 mm, particularly preferably about 900 to 1000 mm, the width is about 300 to 900 mm, particularly preferably about 500 to 600 mm, and the depth is about 200 to 600 mm.
