Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to the structure of an epitaph in which the name, posthumous name, or event of a deceased person is written.

[Conventional technology]

An epitaph is a tombstone that contains the deceased's name, posthumous posthumous name, event, date of death, etc.

This epitaph is sometimes engraved directly on the side or back of a tombstone (stone monument) erected as a grave marker, but recently, as shown in Figure 7, an epitaph 70 is carved separately from the tombstone 70.
The format in which the chisel stands alone is becoming popular.

The conventional epitaph 71 includes an epitaph body 72 in which a posthumous name, etc. is engraved on the surface of a thick rectangular stone slab.
The epitaph body 72 is made up of a base stone 73 that stands apart from the tombstone 70 in the lateral direction.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, in cities where there is a shortage of graves, there are few cemeteries that have enough space to erect the epitaph 71 far away from the tombstone 70.

Furthermore, in very small cemeteries set up in buildings such as buildings, the reality is that it is not possible to erect the epitaph 71 separately from the tombstone 70.

Note that if the epitaph 71 is forced to stand in a narrow space, the epitaph main body 72 made of a thick stone plate will come close to the tombstone 70, giving a very oppressive feeling, which is not preferable.

Of course, this epitaph 71 cannot be erected directly in front of the tombstone 70 so as to block the front view.

Therefore, the present invention is designed to allow even if the cemetery space is small.
The technical challenge is to make it possible to erect epitaphs right next to gravestones without creating a sense of pressure.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve this problem, the present invention has a structure of an epitaph that is erected separately from the gravestone that serves as the grave marker, so that the main body of the epitaph in which the name and posthumous name of the deceased are written can be seen through the front of the gravestone. A concave groove is formed on the base stone, which is formed from a transparent panel and is placed in front of the tombstone to serve as a stone for worship, and a concave groove is formed in which the epitaph body is placed. It is characterized by the formation of

[Effect]

According to the present invention, since the epitaph body is erected on the stand stone that is placed in front of the tombstone and serves as a stone for worship, no special space is required for erecting the epitaph body.

In addition, the epitaph itself is made of a transparent panel, so unlike conventional products made of thick stone slopes, it does not feel oppressive when placed in front of the tombstone, and it does not obstruct the front view of the tombstone. , it can be erected close to the gravestone.

Therefore, even if the cemetery space is small, an epitaph can be provided separately from the tombstone that serves as a grave marker.

Furthermore, when worshiping at a tombstone in front of the stone, you can pray for the repose of the deceased's soul while looking at the posthumous name written on the transparent panel that forms the epitaph.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a front view showing an example of an epitaph according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a ventilation member installed on the base stone of the epitaph, and Fig. 4 is a view of the base stone on which the epitaph is erected. The plan view, Figure 5 is the AA sectional view, and Figure 6 is the sectional view.
The figure is a perspective view of a tomb showing how the epitaph is installed.

In the epitaph shown in this example, the epitaph body 1 in which the deceased's name and posthumous name are written is made of transparent laminated glass made by laminating two colorless transparent or colored transparent glass plates 2, 2 laminated together with a transparent adhesive. Panel P
It is molded in.

The name N of the deceased is engraved on the surface of the transparent panel P, and gold leaf with a family crest punched out is sandwiched between the mating surfaces of the glass plates 2, 2 forming the panel P. Alternatively, one of the glass plates 2 is carved with a planar decoration S consisting of an arabesque pattern or the like.

A concave groove 4 is formed in the base stone 3 on which the epitaph body 1 is erected, into which the lower end of the transparent panel P constituting the epitaph body 1 is inserted and fitted at an inclined angle of 60° toward the rear.

The base stone 3 is a stone placed in front of the tombstone 5 as shown in FIG.
It also serves as a cover stone to close the peephole 8 made in the top plate 7 of the.

That is, the base stone 3, which is placed in front of the tombstone 5 as a stone for worship and is also a lid stone for peeking into the inside of the casket 6, faces the tombstone 5 and is placed on the offering stand 9, which has a smooth front side of the groove 4. A window hole 10 for lighting is provided at the rear side of the groove 4 and penetrates into the charnel coffin 6 through a peephole 8.

A transparent window glass 11 is fitted into the opening of the window hole 10 so that the inside of the charnel coffin 6 can be seen without removing the base stone 3 serving as the lid stone.

Further, in the side surface of the base stone 3, a ventilation hole 12 is bored which communicates orthogonally with the side of the window hole 10 in order to improve the circulation of air within the ossuary coffin 6.

This ventilation hole 12 is provided with a rain gutter 14 in order to prevent rainwater from entering into the charnel coffin 6.
A ventilation member 13 is fitted therein.

This ventilation member 13 is provided with a stop 15 that closes the end of a gutter 14 that projects into the window hole 10 on one end side, and a ventilation lid 16 that closes the opening of the ventilation hole 12 on the other end side. .

Therefore, the epitaph main body 1 consisting of the transparent panel P is
On its surface, the posthumous names of the ancestors are written vertically or horizontally, and it is erected on the base stone 3 placed in front of the tombstone 5 as a stone of worship.

In this state, the tomb visitor can see the entire front of the tombstone 5 through the epitaph body 1, so when worshiping at the tombstone 5, the visitor's view is not obstructed or he does not feel pressured.

In particular, when the epitaph main body 1 is erected in a slightly backward inclined state toward the tombstone 5 as in the embodiment, it does not give any oppressive feeling at all.

Therefore, even in a cemetery where grave space is small, an epitaph can be erected separately from the gravestone 5.

Furthermore, since the tombstone 5 can be worshiped while looking directly at the name, posthumous name, etc. written on the epitaph body 1, one can more strongly express one's feelings of praying for the repose of the deceased's soul.

Furthermore, if the epitaph main body 1 placed in front of the tombstone 5 is tilted backward toward the tombstone 5 side, the name N of the deceased written on the surface of the epitaph main body 1 and the arabesque will be affected by the sunlight coming in from above. Decorations such as patterns S
is reflected in the form of a shadow on the surface of the tombstones that make up tombstone 5, creating a unique atmosphere.

Note that even if the epitaph main body 1 is tilted backward, since it is formed by the transparent panel P, the light entering the window hole 10 that takes in light into the charnel coffin 6 will not be blocked.

Furthermore, since the epitaph main body 1 made of the transparent panel P is erected by fitting its lower end into the groove 4 formed in the base stone 3, there is no fear of it collapsing under the influence of strong winds or the like.

In addition, if the transparent panel P forming the epitaph main body 1 is made of laminated glass as in the embodiment, a planar decoration S can be applied between them to improve the appearance of the epitaph, and at the same time, the decoration S part will become dirty. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to single glass.

Further, the material is not limited to a glass plate, but may be a plastic plate such as an acrylic resin plate.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to the invention, the front of the tombstone is not obstructed, and the tombstone does not feel oppressive.
It has the excellent effect of allowing epitaphs to be erected close to the cemetery, making it extremely useful for urban cemeteries where grave space is small.
