Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a tombstone device in which a tombstone is equipped with a memorial member on which a portrait, photograph, career history, beliefs, words, etc. of the deceased are displayed. It is something.

<Conventional Technology> Gravestones are placed at the place where the deceased was buried to indicate their presence and to allow those involved to pray for the soul of the deceased and to remember the deceased.

Currently, there is no indication to remind people of their appearance in this world, so they only list their Buddhist name, date of death, and age.

Also, when burying multiple people from a certain family in one place,
A stone slab is erected as an epitaph, and the legal name, common name, date of death, age, etc. of these multiple people are engraved on the surface of the slab.

In the Nagasaki area of Kyushu, letters engraved on gravestones are coated with gold powder to make them more visible, and the gold powder is sometimes repainted.

On the other hand, if a portrait, photograph, etc. is transferred to ceramic of any shape such as square, oval, circular, etc. and embedded in a tombstone, the coating material will be directly exposed to air and will discolor due to sunlight, and the photograph will also discolor. I have this problem. Furthermore, the strength of ceramics is not necessarily sufficient and there is a problem of cracking.

The causes of this damage are mainly caused by ultraviolet rays, heat rays from the sun increasing the temperature of the embedded components, cooling caused by wind, rain, snow, etc., which causes cracks to expand and contract, freezing expansion of rainwater that enters the cracks, corrosion, and oxygen in the air. The cause is thought to be oxidation due to direct contact with.

In recent years, the popularity of cemeteries has become more popular, and with this, there has been a growing trend for cemeteries to be brighter and for people to directly remember and remember the deceased.

The cemetery is not only for Buddhists, but also for Christians and non-religious people, and the inscriptions on the gravestones include the deceased's favorite words, - characters, beliefs, simple line sketches, and personal history. etc., and there is a tendency for it to become increasingly liberalized.

In other words, there is a growing trend that ``the grave is a place for the dead to grow and rest, but at the same time it is also a place for the so-called living who live in this world.''

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The purpose of the present invention is to provide a memorial member that is weather resistant and durable and can be used as a member to cheerfully remember the deceased, and to propose a gravestone device equipped with the memorial member. do.

Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses a weather-resistant material to display memorial records as a member to be attached to a gravestone device to commemorate the deceased so as to form a bright cemetery. To provide a tombstone device including a tombstone, a tombstone pedestal, and an epitaph, in which a material surface is covered to form a remembrance member, and this remembrance member is attached.

<Example 1> The first condition required of a memory member for displaying a memory record such as a portrait or photograph of a deceased person is durability. In other words, portraits, photographs, etc. do not lose their freshness and clarity.

An important condition for this is that portraits, photographs, and records do not deteriorate.

(a) There should be no leakage of rainwater onto the recording surface.

(b) Minimize the amount of ultraviolet light that reaches the recording surface.

(c) The memory member must be sufficiently resistant to mechanical shock and not easily distorted by repeated heating and cooling.

is possible.

A first embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 showing a cross section taken along line A-A in FIG.

The memory member 1 is formed by a main body 2 and a protection member 5.

The main body 2, which is a base material, is preferably made of a weather-resistant material such as ceramics, stainless steel, or processed plaster. In the first embodiment, the main body 2 serving as the base material is formed into a rectangular plate-like body. However, it may have any suitable shape, such as an ellipse, a circle, or a curved surface. Portraits, photographs, letters, etc. are formed on the smooth surface of the base material of the main body 2, and transferred onto this.
Record any coloring or burning by handwriting.

The main body 2 is made of a non-permeable base material (the illustrated example is a flat plate, but a curved surface may be used), and two grooves 4α and 4b are formed therein to prevent rainwater from entering by capillary action. The groove 4α is provided on the side of the surface 2a to be recorded, and the groove 4b is located at its periphery and faces the notch on the periphery of the protection member 3, forming one groove.

As the protective member 6, use an opaque weather-resistant material, glass that does not allow short wavelength light such as ultraviolet rays to pass through, tempered glass, etc., and the surface that comes into close contact with the memory recording surface of the main body 2 may be a curved surface, but it should be in close contact. It is a condition to do so.

The ultraviolet rays that degrade the color of the memory recording surface are invisible and have a wavelength of 3000X or less (Angstrom length is 10'''cTn), and ordinary glass is suitable because it does not transmit wavelengths of 3500X or less.

However, visible light also has energy and deteriorates the recording material, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the recording surface. In order to prevent the recording from deteriorating, it is preferable to use glass that reduces the sensitivity to light and changes to a faint black color when exposed to light.

The groove 4α is filled with an adhesive that is resistant to aging and can maintain airtightness, and the main body 2 and the protection member 3 are bonded and airtightly connected. When the grooves 4b are also filled with a similar adhesive, it is possible to completely prevent water, steam, and air from entering the recording surface.

The memory member 1 formed in this way can be adhesively fixed to a desired position such as the front side surface of the pedestal 6 of the tombstone 5 shown in FIG. 4 by being glued or fitted. It may be screwed on if necessary. Ceramics and opaque glass are both weather-resistant materials and are preferable, but it is also possible to use a metal material such as stainless steel as the base material, form the recording surface by waving, and use an opaque glass plate to prevent the recording from deteriorating. The memory member may be formed by attaching with adhesive.

You can also use lacquer instead of enamel.
- I can do it. It is also possible to use cloisonné, which is made by baking lead-containing or gaffus material onto a metal base at high temperatures.

<Embodiment 2> Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment. In this case, the box 7 is provided with a flange 7a, and the box is covered with a main body 9 corresponding to the main body 2 in Fig. 2 described above. , the main body 9 is fixed with studs 11.

It is desirable to provide a door or shielding plate Σ on the surface of the main body that can be opened and closed.

For the main body 9, there is a protective member 1 corresponding to the reference numeral 6 in FIG.
0 is attached with adhesive.

In this case, when there is gas in the space 8, there is an opportunity to suck outside air into the box through extremely fine holes through so-called breathing, which repeatedly expands and contracts due to the temperature difference between daytime and nighttime.

In order to prevent this, a small-diameter air injection pipe 12 is provided on the wall surface of the box 7 (in the illustrated example, on the bottom surface), and an airtight adhesive is supplied to the groove 15 of the insertion portion of the pipe to fix the pipe airtightly.

Next, before installing the tombstone on the pedestal, the air inside is sucked out through the air inlet pipe 12, and the air is evacuated using the switching valve 14 to supply an inert gas such as nitrogen gas, which has a higher pressure than the outside pressure. Make the box filled with gas to prevent outside air from entering.

After injecting air, the air injection pipe 12 is cut, bent, and completely sealed by welding.

In addition, when it is necessary to take out the remembrance materials in the necessary reed box Z later on, the main body 9 serving as a lid can be removed and taken out.

Note that the tombstone device may be one for pets such as dogs and cats, or a locker-type, collective-type device in the form of an apartment complex.

<Effects of the Invention> By carrying out this invention, a weather-resistant memory member is formed, and the memory record does not deteriorate due to sunlight, ultraviolet rays, rainwater, wind and snow, and can be easily attached to a gravestone device.

Furthermore, in the second embodiment, it is also possible to save remembrance materials.

It also adds color to the scenery of cemeteries, etc., and provides an effective means for remembering the deceased.
