JPH0754522A - Manufacture of tombstone made of waste colored glass and tombstone obtained by its manufacture - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a tombstone which is felt heavy and has sufficient strength by mixing a proper amount of sand with waste colored glass, adding a coloring agent as necessary to thermally melt them, pouring them into a mold of any shape, and working a molding by cutting, etc., to manufacture a tombstone. CONSTITUTION:In the process of thermally melting a brown translucent empty whisky bottle 2, for example, sand 3 is mixed with the empty whisky bottle at a weight ratio of 1 to 10, and emerald green coloring agent is added properly. Next they are poured into a cubic mold in molten state and cured. Then this solidified body is cut at tombstone size and worked to obtain a tombstone 1. Because this method uses, as raw materials, vacant beer bottle, vacant whisky bottle, vacant sake bottle, and other colored waste glass that are difficult to dispose, it is not only useful for profitability and environmental purification by recycling but also provides gloss, pattern, and beauty that are all peculiar to the colored glass. Thus a new design can be brought into the style of the tombstone.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gravestone manufacturing method and a gravestone obtained by the manufacturing method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Glass gravestones have been proposed so far. This is No. 57-176563, which is made of glass only on the surface and in which a concrete is poured. However, this technique is not only troublesome in production, but also does not solve the problem of shrinkage of concrete and the problem of strength of glass layer, and further, no concrete measure is taken for engraving of grave markings. Further, since it is only on the surface, it has a drawback that it has a poor sense of mass. Furthermore, it is not unthinkable to make the whole tombstone with glass, but there are problems with production, price, and engraving of grave markers, and I have never seen anything realized. .

[0003]

The present invention is as described above, and recycles beer empty bottles, whiskey empty bottles, liquor empty bottles and other colored glass waste products which have been considered difficult to treat waste products. In addition, the present invention provides a method for obtaining a tombstone that has a glass-like aesthetic and mass feeling and is easy to sculpt a tombstone, and a tombstone produced by the method.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention mixes an appropriate amount of sand 3 at the stage of melting a colored glass waste product 2 by heat, and if necessary, adds a coloring agent to obtain a desired shape. It is a method of manufacturing a tombstone, which is characterized by being cast into a mold and obtained through processing such as cutting. Further, it is the tombstone 1 obtained by the above manufacturing method.

[0005]

The gravestone manufacturing method of the present invention and the gravestone obtained by the manufacturing method are as described above. Beer empty bottles, whiskey empty bottles, liquor empty bottles, etc., which have been difficult to dispose of wastes until now. Since colored glass waste is used as a material, so-called recycling contributes not only to economic efficiency and environmental purification but also to the luster, pattern and aesthetics peculiar to colored glass, which can bring a new taste to the appearance of gravestones. Further, since the whole is a glass material, it has a sense of mass, and since it is regenerated and solidified by heat melting, strength is sufficiently maintained. Furthermore, since an appropriate amount of sand is mixed in at the stage of heat melting, cutting itself, processing, and engraving of letters and the like after molding can be performed easily as well as itself serving as an extender. Another big advantage is that the production costs are cheap.

[0006]

[Example] At the stage of heat-dissolving a brown semi-transparent whiskey-empty bottle, sand 3 was mixed in a ratio of 1 to the whiskey-empty bottle 10 of the quantity, and an emerald green colorant was appropriately added. In a molten state, it is poured into a cubic mold and after curing and solidification,
It is a gravestone manufacturing method obtained by cutting and processing to a gravestone size, and is gravestone 1 obtained by the manufacturing method.
