Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a tombstone used as a ritual grave to mourn all the members of the clan, and more particularly to a traditional pole-shaped monument with a gravepost for each deceased person. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tombstone having a novel structure formed so as to have a function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, most graves in Japan have a special achievement before their birth due to problems such as difficulty in securing a graveyard for a single grave to memorialize one deceased person, and complicated maintenance and management. Except when a teacher or a teacher with many disciples has died, many ritual tombs have been adopted in which clan ancestors are buried under the same stone monument.

[0003] In the enshrine grave, a family name or a family name with a crest is engraved on the front of a pole-shaped stone monument generally set up in the center of the cemetery. Engraved and written on the side or back of the stele, or on the tomb standing on the left or right side of the front of the gravepost, the deceased years of each deceased or the name of the deceased , Name, etc. will be carved and written, but if you add a new deceased name to a stone monument or gravestone, you can not take measures inside the graveyard, so carry it out using a lifting device such as a crane,
In the workplace where the engraving machinery is provided, the engraving process is carried out, and then the graveyard is again brought to the graveyard for installation work.

[0004] In addition, in the case of this enshrine grave, since the entire clan is dedicated, when an acquaintance or friend visits a grave for a specific deceased person who was taken care of before his or her life, the clan is genuinely shaped. It may be the same as a memorial service, and you may feel uncomfortable with the prayer of the deceased with the affiliation.In addition, the tendency to become a nuclear family has increased recently, and However, as the wing tombs etc. for only two couples are increasing in recent years, it is important to emphasize the meaning of mourning without losing the footprints left by the deceased. In order to cope with the demands of the past, the style of the traditional enshrined family grave was not limited to the style desired for the clan,
It can be said that each of the deceased members of the clan has reached the right time with the creation of a ritual tomb that has the form and meaning of a single tomb, which has its own virtue, and which has the same meaning as a single tomb.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has a style that is not different from that of the traditional ritual tombs, but allows a single stone monument to be displayed as a plurality of tombstones easily and without impairing its appearance. I was keenly aware of the necessity of a gravestone that could be solemnly realized, and as a person who has been engaged in the gravestone industry for many years, started developing and researching it quickly, repeating trial and error over many years and many prototype experiments. This time, we finally succeeded in completing and commercializing a tombstone with a new structure consisting of the configuration described below,
The configuration will be described in detail with an embodiment representative of the present invention shown in the drawings.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As will be clearly understood from the embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings, the tombstone included in the present invention basically has the following structure. That is, a pedestal provided with a rotation support board having a bearing mechanism rotatable about a vertical axis on the upper surface is installed at a predetermined location of the graveyard,
On the rotary support board, each side of each regular polygonal pillar is used as a tomb surface, and the deceased's name is directly engraved, or a rotating stone monument with a tomb plate attached to each side is placed. It is a tombstone that is placed and erected.

If this basic configuration is shown as a more specific configuration, a pedestal is provided at a predetermined place in the graveyard, and a ball bearing is arranged on the upper surface thereof, which corresponds to the center of the ball bearing. On the top of the pedestal at the position, a vertical pedestal-side insertion hole is drilled, and the upper and lower shaft centers are formed in the same pedestal-side insertion hole, bordering on the intermediate flange-shaped support plate. The lower shaft center of the rotating support board is inserted and the flange-like supporting board of the rotating support board is placed on the ball bearing rotating side ring, while each of the rotating support boards has a regular polygonal columnar shape. Directly engrave the deceased's name on each side as one tombstone, or insert a vertical monument-side insertion hole drilled in the center of the lower surface of a rotating monument with a tombstone plate attached to each side , The upper shaft center protruding from the center of the flange-shaped support board of the rotary support board By fitting, rotary monument becomes the bottom surface thereof rotatably erected on the table stone through a ball bearing for supporting the rotating support plate which is placed a combined composed tombstone.

[0008] The pedestal functions to form a base for supporting a stele that is rotated about a vertical axis.
A natural stone material is cut out and polished as necessary, and it is constructed so that it can be stacked in one or two or more stages.In addition, a box-like stone material that forms one step is combined with multiple stone blocks In particular, the part supporting the bearing mechanism must be laid and formed so as to support the rotary support board horizontally and secure the vertical structure of its axis. Must.

The bearing mechanism serves to support a rotatable stone to be described later smoothly and freely around a vertical axis on the base stone. Thrust ball bearings, which are common ball bearings, and thrust rollers that use cylindrical rollers, should be formed to have durability that can withstand long-term use in and a weather-resistant structure to cope with them. Outside a thrust bearing such as a bearing, an annular rail formed in an annular shape is installed horizontally, and rolling wheels are provided on a plurality of circumferential locations at predetermined intervals on this, and the rolling wheels are mounted on the annular rail. Rollers that move and move, or permanent magnets that repel each other up and down around the bearing are distributed over substantially the entire circumference so that they are arranged point-symmetrically around the axis of the bearing. By doing so, it is possible to appropriately adopt a new bearing structure that will be developed and put to practical use, as well as a bearing structure of cultivated land, as well as a structure that is configured to reduce the friction of the bearing part. .

[0010] The rotary support plate has a function of rotatably mounting the rotary stele on the bearing mechanism, and also has a function of supporting it so that it does not inadvertently roll over. It has a flange-shaped support plate on which the bottom of the model stele is placed, and on the upper side, an upper axial center part that is inserted into the bottom of the rotary stele so that it can not roll over, and on the lower side, it rotates on a pedestal Outside that the lower shaft center part that can be inserted freely can be made convex, outside the bearing mechanism,
A large-diameter tubular part extending concentrically and vertically is provided, and the entire periphery of the upper end edge of this tubular part is fitted into a cylindrical groove formed on the lower surface of the rotating stone to prevent the rotating stone from rolling over. At the same time, the entire periphery of the lower edge is gently fitted into the cylindrical groove formed on the top surface of the base stone to prevent rollover, and then joined to the outer peripheral bearing mechanism embedded at the bottom of the cylindrical groove, and rotated. It is also possible to configure so as to be freely supported.

[0011] Further, a rotating support plate or a rotating stele,
A drive mechanism using an electric drive motor is installed between the pedestal and the rotator so that the rotator can be driven to rotate forward or backward from the outside. By providing an operation handle for a dynamic operation operation, it is possible to make it possible to easily perform the rotation operation of the rotary stele. In addition, an electromagnet mechanism that repels up and down when energized is attached between the bearing mechanism, the rotating support board or the rotating stone, and the base stone, and activates the electromagnetic mechanism when rotating the rotating stone. And slightly lift the bearing mechanism, rotating support board or rotating stone monument,
After reducing the frictional resistance, it is rotated by the drive mechanism or manual force, and after placing the desired grave face in front, the energization to the electromagnet mechanism is stopped to recover the frictional resistance, and the rotating stone is fixed. It is also possible to configure
Furthermore, a braking mechanism for preventing inadvertent rotation of the rotary stele can be added.

[0012] The rotary stele is a central constituent material that brings out the symbolic meaning of the tomb, and has a function of displaying the names of a plurality of deceased persons on one stele. By rotating, at least one side on which at least one deceased person's name is displayed must be positioned in front. The overall shape is basically a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism, or a rod that is formed into a polygonal prism with five or more angles, but in some cases, even if it is formed into a polygonal pyramid, almost the same function Even if it is cylindrical or conical, it will not damage the area of the grave mark of one adjacent person, and engraves the name of the guardian etc. over the vertical range There is no problem if the tombstone plate is attached and integrated by appropriate means such as sticking or hanging, fitting or the like, and all of them are included in the present invention.

[0013] In addition, in the rotary stone monument having various structures as described above, the side peripheral surface is sectioned by a structure corresponding to the structure.
A structure in which a grave marker plate can be attached and integrated by appropriate means such as sticking or latching, fitting, etc. for each section, for example, a flat surface finish only, and each time sticking and integrating with an adhesive Or a screw hole is formed at an appropriate place, and a screw is screwed and integrated into the screw hole,
Alternatively, a special locking metal fitting is attached to the back of the gravepost plate, and a receiving portion capable of receiving the metal fitting is provided at an appropriate place in the section. Is formed in the compartment, and the gravepost plate is removably fitted in advance to all the fitting windows,
Any necessary means such as fitting in only necessary places and integrating them by appropriate means, or engaging and attaching to the engaging claws formed on the rotary stone monument using the elastic deformation of the tomb plate A wearing structure can be adopted.

The tomb plate is made of natural stone, synthetic resin, metal, wood, pottery or glass, or a combination thereof, or a character made of metal such as titanium, stainless steel or aluminum. It has a durable, printable, and paintable surface
It is possible to use any material that can withstand long-term use, such as weather resistance.

[0015] An encircling wall can be provided on the outer peripheral side of the rotary stone monument on the pedestal, and the encircling wall is located on the side of a portion other than the tomb marking surface arranged in front and on the tomb marking surface arranged behind. Cover the grave and emphasize only what is visible on the front side, and also protect the grave surface other than the front, and only one, two, or three or more deceased persons, who are the purpose of visiting the grave, An opening window is formed so that it can be exposed to the outside, and the opening window is left open.In addition, the opening window can be slid left and right or formed in a bellows shape and wound like a shutter door. It is also possible to provide an opening / closing door that can be taken and released, or open and closed in the form of a door, or open or closed in one of the left and right directions. You can also.

The pedestal, the rotary stone monument, the surrounding wall, and the canopy are not particularly limited to any material to be employed, and generally used natural stones, for example, white small stones,

[0030]

[Effect] The gravestone of the present invention configured as described above is:
By maintaining a form of a ritual tomb that can be memorialized by a single monument to ancestral people who are now mainstream in Japan, and having a gravepost for each deceased,
Not only the ancestors of the descendants of the clan, but also the graveposts of all the deceased people in the clan. It is also possible to sacrifice memorial services, so that even acquaintances and friends who cared for the deceased before their lives can memorialize their hands together in front of the grave mark engraved with the deceased's religious name etc. when visiting the grave This is an excellent feature.

In particular, the rotary stone monument 6 of the embodiment taken up as a representative of the present invention is formed in the shape of a regular octagonal prism, and each side of the stone monument is marked with one tomb, engraving the command of each deceased person, Since the rotatable stone monument 6 is rotatably supported in the recess of the vertical axis, it is possible to rotate the monument to the front side of the tombstone 1 irrespective of the tombstone surface at 61. Even if the overall size is not so different from the size of the normal pole-shaped tombstone in the ritual tombs from, the size of each section that will be the tomb mark can be secured as enough to represent the name of the sword, If the grave marker section is not enough at eight places, remove only the grave marker part from the old one and the memorial service has reached the anniversary, and transfer it,
One after another, it is possible to memorialize the deceased deceased,
The dignified tombs can be realized in a relatively economical way.

In the tombstone according to the present invention, which is taken as the second embodiment, the surrounding wall 7 and the canopy stone 8 are installed on the outer peripheral side and the upper part of the rotary stone monument 6, so that wind, rain, snow, dust and the like are bearing. Since this prevents the intrusion into the mechanism 3, it is difficult to cause a failure for a long period of time, and one, two, or three or more tombstone surfaces 61 are provided only at the front part of the surrounding wall 7. Is formed so that the left and right side molds of the rotary monument 6 and the grave marking surface 61 located on the back side are covered so as not to be exposed to the outside. It is possible to produce such an atmosphere and make the grave suitable for visiting only one grave.

Further, a structure is employed in which the grave marker plate 62 is detachably attached to the grave marker surface 61, so that the grave marker plate 62 can be relatively easily moved. For example, if the name of the grave will be inscribed, the date of the death, or the notation, the father, mother, eldest son,
Since emphasis is placed on the order of the eldest daughter, second son, second daughter, etc., it was necessary to carefully select the engraving position and secure space for survivors in advance, but such extra prior There is also obtained an advantage that no consideration is required, and the arrangement of the tomb plate 62 can be changed as needed, thereby enabling an irrational notation arranged in an optimal arrangement order.

As described above, the tombstone of the present invention has the form of a grave to cherish the memorial service of the ancestors, and the form of a single grave or a tomb to mourn only one deceased person or two deceased couples. As a result, the grave of the deceased can be realized, and the grave that can be memorialized can be realized. In accordance with the recent tendency, the intended object of the present invention is universally achieved, and can be realized with a simple configuration and can be provided at a relatively low cost. It has excellent features such as being able to provide to the market, and is involved in the manufacture and sale of tombstones, not to mention those who need new tombs and those who are approaching the rebuilding period. High evaluation can be obtained even from the people, the future,
It is expected to be widely spread and used.
