2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a conventional altar 61 includes a altar box 6 whose front is opened and closed by doors 15 and 17.
2 and the lower tier 1 provided in a staircase inside the altar box 62
8, upper stage 20, upper stage 21, and solemn 63 placed on the upper stage 21. This solemn 63
Are the left and right side parts 24 and the central main part 25 protruding forward.
And the four rear row pillars 27 that are erected from the right end to the left end of the rear edge of the Sumi tier 64, and the six pillars that are erected from the right end to the left end in the middle of the Sumi tier 64. It is composed of a middle row pillar 28, two front row pillars 29 standing upright in front of the main portion 25 of the Sumi step 64, and a roof 30 supported on the upper ends of these three rows of pillars. In particular, in the side part 24, the two rows of the rear row pillar 27 and the middle row pillar 28 are lined up with a space therebetween, so that the side wall 24 has a depth equal to or larger than the space, and therefore, the front side of the side wall 24. The edge is positioned so as not to be much different from the front edge of the main portion 25 and protruding toward the front.

The main wall 37 erected between the central two rear columns 27 of the majestic 63 is hung on the hanging shaft of the image of the main Buddha, and the main part 25 of the Sumidan 64 is the main Buddha. The statue of Buddha is enshrined. Decorative bodies 38 are attached to the central two middle columns 28 so that the hanging scrolls and the Buddhist image can be seen.

Hanging scroll with the name of the ancestor's law (hereinafter referred to as the "law name axis")
It was not designed with the assumption that it would be hung on or tiled.

[0004]

However, in the actual use of the Buddhist altar, as shown in FIG. 5, it is customary to hang the hanging shaft 45 of the ancestor or place the tile 46. The following problems were born from the contradiction with the above design.

(1) When trying to hang the legal axis 45, the hanging place is practically the middle pillar 1 of the side wall 39 of the altar box 62.
It is limited to the front half of 0. The latter half of the back of the center pillar 10 is a protrusion of the side part 24 toward the front,
Because there is almost no space. And the side wall 39
The law name shaft hung on the first half of the item had a bare appearance around or in front of it, and it felt uncomfortable as if it was placed in a place where it should not be placed.

(2) When the nominal axis is particularly large, it cannot be actually hung because it sticks out from the front half of the side wall 39 or looks bad. There was no choice but to place it or store it on the bed on which the Buddhist altar 61 is placed.

(3) When the ancestor's tiles 46 are to be enshrined, the enshrining places are the upper row 21, upper row 20 and lower row 18
It will be the space created between the Buddhist altars. But,
If the tiles 46 are placed there, the same kind of discomfort as in (1) above will occur, and when putting in and out the Buddhist fittings every day, the tiles 46 will be an obstacle and hard to do, or the Tilt 46 or the Buddhist fittings will be accidentally knocked over and damaged. There was a risk of putting on and soiling the surroundings.

The object of the present invention is to make it possible to hang a legal name axis or place a tile on the inner surface of the side wall without any discomfort, and to see the legal name axis which is not good in the past. Another object of the present invention is to provide a Buddhist altar that improves the appearance of the Buddhist altar, and prevents or reduces mistakes when the Buddhist altar fittings are put in and out by accidentally injuring the tiles and Buddhist altar fittings to damage them or stain the surrounding area.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the Buddhist altar according to claim 1 is provided with a decorative frame on the inner surface of the side wall of the Buddhist altar box for decorating the legal axis to be hung on the inner surface. ..

It can be the body. The shape of the decorative frame is generally, for example, a rounded corner rectangle, but may be an ellipse or a rhombus, and also includes a frame with a part cut off.

According to a second aspect of the Buddhist altar, an inner shelf on which the tiles can be placed is provided on the inner surface of the side wall of the altar box. Here, the "shelf" may be at least large enough to hold the tiles, and its shape can be appropriately determined. The storage shelf may be used alone or in combination with the decorative frame, and in the latter case, it may be integrated with the decorative frame or may be a separate body. Also, in actual use, Buddhist implements other than the tiles may be placed on the storage shelf. In addition, "rank tile" shall include the roll-out.
