SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a box-shaped housing having an interior partitioned into front and rear portions, and a main storage section formed on a front side and a tomb storage section formed on a rear side. There is provided a rotary type altar comprising a main body and a mounting table on which the main body is mounted, wherein the main body is rotatably mounted on the mounting table in a lateral direction.

When the main body of the rotary altar is turned 180 degrees to the left or right from the state facing the main storage section, the storage section of the tombstone appears on the front, so that it is possible to visit the grave as needed while staying at home. it can.

A tombstone having a hollow portion therein can be detachably installed in the tombstone storage portion, whereby the tombstone can be arbitrarily removed from the main body, and a bone vase, an artifact, etc. can be placed in the hollow portion. Can be stored.

A hollow portion 7c is formed inside the tombstone 7, and by opening the back and lower surfaces of the tombstone 7, the urn v
It has a storage space for items and artifacts. The tombstone 7 is formed from a plastic panel with a stone pattern printed on its surface, but its material and form can be arbitrarily selected.

Doors 10 and 10 composed of a pair of left and right folding doors are attached to the front opening portion 4a of the main body 1 via hinges so as to be rotatable in the left and right directions, and are of a so-called front opening type.

The mounting table 2 is a storage for Buddhist utensils provided with cover plates 11 and 11 on the front surface thereof. As shown in FIG.
A recess 12 having an inner diameter slightly larger than that of the table 3 is formed. A thrust bearing 14 having a rotating shaft 13 extending in the vertical direction is provided at the center of the concave portion 12.
A cubic head 15 is provided above the rotary shaft 13 of the thrust bearing 14.

The table 3 is attached to the head 15 of the thrust bearing 14 by fitting a square hole 16 formed in the center and opening downward. A pair of projecting shafts 17, 17 extending vertically are provided at symmetrical positions of the table 3 with the square hole 16 interposed therebetween, and are urged downward by springs 18, 18, respectively.

Each of the protruding shafts 17 and 17 rotates together with the table 3 while contacting the lower end formed in a round shape with the upper surface of the concave portion 12 of the mounting table 2 so that the main storing section 6 or the tomb storing section 8 of the main body 1 faces forward. When turned, it fits into the tapered depressions 19 formed in the concave portion 12 of the mounting table 2 and fixes the state. Each of the protruding shafts 17 is further connected to the main body 1.
Is rotated in the left-right direction, escapes from the depressions 19 along the tapered surface, and the table 3 is rotated again.

When the main body 1 is rotated 180 degrees in the left-right direction from the state facing the main storing section 6,
Since the tombstone storage unit 8 appears on the front, it is possible to visit the grave as needed while staying at home. Therefore, for those who live far away from the grave, it is possible to reduce the labor and time required to move, and even if they are to be divided, no land is required for that.

The tombstone 7 can be detached from the main body 1 arbitrarily, and the hollow portion 7c is used as a storage space for urns, artifacts, etc., so that it is very convenient to use.

The rotary altar of the present invention may have a form as shown in FIG. In this Buddhist altar, the front half of the main body 1 and the front halves of both sides are opened with a partition wall 5 as a boundary. Doors 20 and 20 made of four plate members rotatably connected via hinges to both sides of the opening.
