Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mortuary housing apparatus mainly for suppressing damage to corpses stored in a hearse.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is common practice to put dry ice in a hearse when the temperature is high. In general, when a living body dies, the decomposition of proteins, fats, and the like constituting cells progresses. This decomposition is due to temperature changes, bacteria, enzymes and the like. For example, taking protein as an example, the water surrounding the protein is structured into three layers separated from its binding form, and the inner layer is more tightly bound, and the protein is bound by temperature changes, enzyme degradation, bacteria, etc. It serves to protect. Over time, such a protective action becomes a corpse and the structure of the surrounding water is weakened and deteriorated, and the decomposition proceeds. The use of the dry ice is one of means for suppressing the progress of the decomposition, since the activity of the bacteria is suppressed by maintaining the body at a low temperature.

[0003] Separately, for the decomposition described above,
It has been found that maintaining a low temperature and applying a high voltage superimposed wave potential has a suppressing effect. That is, by maintaining the temperature at a low temperature, the temperature change is suppressed and the activity of the bacteria is suppressed. By applying a superimposed potential, the above-described water structuring state is maintained and adjusted, and the water bound to proteins and the like is maintained. It has been found to be effective in preventing the collapse of the structuring of. However, at present, it is not applied to the means for preventing corpse damage.

[0004]

If the time from death to cremation becomes longer due to the convenience of a funeral day or the holiday of a crematorium, a large amount of dry ice is required during high temperatures, It had to be resupplied by cremation. Even with such a treatment, there has been a problem that the face of the corpse changes, or an unpleasant odor occurs due to the damage of the corpse. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a mortuary housing device capable of suppressing damage to a corpse when housed in a hearse as compared with the related art.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is characterized in that a hearse supporting portion which is isolated from the outside world, can accommodate a hearse with a sufficient margin, can be taken in and out, and has a conductive member disposed on an inner bottom. A listening chamber, which is insulated and supported, a cool air supply means for supplying cool air into the listening chamber, and a superimposed high voltage wave in which one output terminal is connected to the conductive member and the other output terminal is insulated and sealed. And a potential generator.

In this means, the corpse is stored, and
With the cover removed, or a pre-formed coffin that can be ventilated inside even with the cover attached to the coffin, the coffin is housed in the coffin chamber, the cold air supply means is operated, and the superimposed wave potential generator is installed. Make it work. The cool air supplied to the hearse by the cool air supply means keeps the body at a low temperature and suppresses the activity of bacteria. When a high voltage superimposed potential is applied to the conductive member at the bottom, since the hearse is usually made of wood, it contains a certain amount of water, so that the high voltage superimposed wave potential is also applied to the corpse. The application of the high voltage superimposed wave potential suppresses damage such as decomposition of the body by enzymes.

The superimposed wave potential is, for example, a sine wave alternating current as a base waveform, and superimposed (added) a vibration waveform or a pulse waveform having a shorter cycle than the base waveform on the base waveform.
This is the potential of the waveform. That is, the superimposed wave is a base waveform in which irregularities are partially formed. Further, in the means of the present invention, the superimposed wave potential generator used is described in, for example, JP-A-51-81939 and JP-A-56-66.
No. 73, as known. The outline of one superimposed wave potential generator is that a commercial frequency power supply 100V is connected to the primary side, and an arbitrary waveform is loaded by a transformer with the secondary side wound, and a waveform having a partially different frequency is obtained. The voltage composed of the waveforms is boosted to 10 KV or more by the final transformer via the insulating transformer, and the winding start lead wire (output terminal) on the secondary side of the final transformer is not output outside the transformer but insulated internally. Processing and closing,
Only the end-of-winding lead wire is provided to an external terminal (output terminal). One of the output terminals is connected to the conductive member, and a high-voltage superimposed potential is applied to the corpse via a hook. At this time, the ground voltage is equal to zero, and no current flows.

In the above means, it is preferable that the cool air supply means and the superimposed wave potential generating device are installed below the hearse's chamber and can move together with the hearse's chamber. In this configuration, since it can be moved, it can be used by moving it to a necessary place, or used to move a corpse in a hearse.

In the above means, the cold air supply means may be:
It is preferable that the circulation type is provided with a refrigerator, a heat exchanger, and an air supply duct and a return air duct connected to the heat exchanger and the listening chamber (claim 3). In this configuration, since the cool air supply is of a circulation type, the loss of the cool air is extremely small. Also, for the preservation of the corpse in the days (several days) when the normal funeral service is postponed, the listening chamber is kept at around 5 ° C. In many cases, the required capacity of the refrigerator is not so large, and if the heat chamber is properly insulated, the refrigerator can be operated sufficiently with a household power supply of 100 V.

[0010] In the above means, it is preferable that the ceiling of the hearse has a window formed of a transparent material so that the inside can be seen (claim 4). In this configuration,
By opening the cover of the hearse in the hearse and storing it, the face of the corpse can be seen with the hearse stored in the hearse.
