Inside the lid member 10, a Shumidan 3, a government hall 4, etc. are provided, and a hanging scroll 6 depicting the Gohonzon is placed inside the government hall 4. A hanging scroll (not shown) is arranged. All of these hanging scrolls are removably attached. Of course, in place of the hanging scroll 6, it is also possible to enshrine the principal Buddha statue. Inside the box body 2, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a pair of crosspieces 14 are attached to both inner surfaces, and a bottom plate 1 is provided inside the box body 2.
6 is supported, and a lift device 30 as a lifting mechanism is attached to the bottom plate 16.

The lift device 30 has two pairs of link members 32, 34, 36, 38 combined in an X shape, which are rotatably connected by support pins 40, 42, respectively, and both ends of each link member are opposite ends. The parts are integrally connected by connecting shafts 44, 46, 48, and 50, and both ends of each connecting shaft protrude outward to form pin parts. Both ends of the connecting shaft 50 are rotatably supported by lower guide members 52 and 54 attached to the bottom plate 16, and pin portions formed at both ends of the connecting shaft 48 are connected to each lower guide member. Long holes 56, 5 provided on the end side
8 is slidably supported. In addition, the connecting shaft 4
Both ends of the connecting shaft 44 are rotatably supported by upper guide members 60 and 62, and pin portions formed at both ends of the connecting shaft 44 are slidably supported by long holes 64 and 66 at the other end. . In addition, the distances from the support pins 40, 42 forming the center of rotation to the connection shafts 44, 46 are made equal to each other, and the distances between the support pins 40, 42,
2 to the connecting shafts 48, 50 are made equal, and the centers of the support pins 40, 42 and the connecting shafts 44, 4
6 and the line connecting the centers of the support pins 40, 42 and the centers of the connecting shafts 48, 50 always form an isosceles triangle. Therefore, even when the upper guide members 60 and 62 move up and down due to a change in the opening angle of each link member,
It will always remain parallel to the lower guide members 52, 54. Therefore, the upper guide member 6
The mounting plate 70, which will be described later, is attached to 0 and 62.
It is always parallel to the bottom plate 16 to which the lower guide members 52, 54 are attached. Further, a tension spring 68 is tensioned between the connecting shafts 44 and 46, and is biased in a direction in which the upper ends of each link member approach each other. Therefore, the upper guide members 60, 62 are subjected to a force that pushes them upward.

A mounting plate 70 as a mounting member is attached to the upper surface side of the upper guide members 60, 62 with a movable gap between the mounting plate 70 and the inner surface of the box body 2. 70 is connected to the lid member 10 by a pair of connecting members 72 each having rotatable metal fittings at both ends. Therefore, the lid member 1

is determined so that the government hall 4, hanging scroll 6, etc. inside the lid member 10 can maintain an upright posture when the height is the highest. The connecting member 72, the connecting shafts 44, 48, and the ends of each elongated hole constitute a holding means that can hold the lid member 10 in an open state.

When the lid member 10 is closed, the mounting plate 70 receives a downward force via the connecting member 72, and the lift device 30 resists the tensile force of the tension spring 68.
It is pushed down and held in that state as shown in FIG. In this way, the mounting plate 70
The bottom plate 16 can be raised and lowered in conjunction with the opening and closing of the bottom plate 16.
always kept parallel to In addition, the mounting plate 70
The upper surface of the lid member 10 is stepped as shown in FIG. Various Buddhist fittings 73 are placed on the placement plate 70. For example, in the top tier, there is a hanasha incense burner or memorial tablet in the center, a tall moon, a railing, etc. on both sides, a rice bowl and a teacup in the middle tier, and a front incense burner, incense case, and incense stick in the lower tier. Insert, cross erase,
Phosphorus, phosphorus rods, etc. are placed. These Buddhist utensils can be changed as appropriate to suit each sect, and it goes without saying that the hanging scrolls and statues of the principal image can also be changed as appropriate to suit each sect. Furthermore, hanging fittings 74 for carrying are attached to both sides of the box body 2. 76 is a drawer.

In the embodiment configured as described above, when the lid member 10 is opened, the official hall 4 and the hanging scroll 6 of the Gohonzon appear, and at the same time, the mounting plate 70 on which the Buddhist utensils 73 are placed also appears upward, so that the Buddhist altar can be quickly installed. It becomes possible to worship as When the lid member 10 is closed, the official hall 4 and the hanging scroll 6 of the principal image are housed inside, and the Buddhist utensils 73 on the mounting plate 70 are pulled downward and stored in the box body 2 as they are. Therefore, it is possible to carry it to a living room or the like and worship at a Buddhist altar. Furthermore, when there are visitors in the living room or the like, by closing the lid member 10, the presence of the Buddhist altar can be prevented from being noticed by the guests. Then, when the customer returns home and opens the lid member 10, the original Buddhist altar is revealed, so there is no need to put the Buddhist altar fittings 73 back in place again, and the trouble associated with doing so can be eliminated. Furthermore, since you can cover the altar when you are not praying, you can prevent the inside of the Buddhist altar from getting dirty. Furthermore, when the lid is closed, the design becomes a simple box-like design, which can be used as a living room interior.

In the embodiment described above, instead of bringing the connecting shafts 44 and 48 into contact with the ends of the elongated holes, a stopper that restricts the rising end of the mounting plate 70 is used as the holding means for holding the lid member in the open state. or provide a connecting shaft 44,
A stopper may be provided to restrict the approach between the
Two stages of link members combined in a shape may be used, and it is also possible to use multiple stages. This has the advantage of increasing the lifting and lowering stroke.

Although the above embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a Buddhist altar, it is also possible to apply it to a household altar in the same way.

[Effects of the invention] As detailed above, according to the invention, Buddhist utensils, sacred objects, etc. inside the box body are placed in conjunction with the opening and closing of the lid member, which has the object representing the principal image or object of worship placed inside. Because the mounting member for the shrine is designed to move up and down, when it is used, the object representing the Gohonzon or the object of worship appears on the outside, and the mounting member for enshrining Buddhist utensils, sacred objects, etc. appears on the outside. When not in use, the object representing the Gohonzon or object of worship is stored inside and the mounting member retracts, eliminating the hassle of taking out Buddhist objects and sacred objects, arranging them, and storing them each time they are used. You can eliminate the problem. In addition, by covering the lid when not in use, it is possible to avoid dust from getting on the Buddhist altar or Shinto altar, and it is also compact because it allows you to store objects representing the principal image or object of worship above the Buddhist altars and sacred utensils. It takes up less space and can be placed in narrow spaces. Furthermore, since it has a simple structure in which a lid member is attached to the box body, it has a simple design, and has the advantage that it does not look out of place as an interior decoration even when placed in various rooms.
