Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to a Buddhist altar for a columbarium, and in more detail,
A Buddhist altar for ashes, in which a prayer box and an ashes box are stacked vertically, and the stacked bodies are arranged horizontally in a row and connected to each other, or a prayer part and an ashes part are provided. This invention relates to a Buddhist altar for interment, in which two or more boxes are stacked vertically, and the stacked boxes are arranged horizontally in a row and connected to each other.

For example, a conventional Buddhist altar for a columbarium consisting of a prayer box and a columbarium box is constructed by stacking a prayer box 22 and a columbarium box 23 one above the other, as shown in FIG. 2
1 is constructed, and a plurality of Buddhist altar units 21 are arranged horizontally in a line and connected to each other, and the front part is located in front of the front side of the Buddhist altar unit 21 at both front side edges of the Buddhist altar unit 21. A protruding vertical frame 25 is attached to the vertical frame 25, and adjacent vertical frames 25 are sandwiched by a connecting member 24 having a substantially U-shaped cross section.
The rivet 26 is covered with a decorative metal fitting 27.

However, since such a Buddhist altar for a columbarium is assembled within the columbarium, there is a problem in that the work of covering the rivets 26 with the decorative metal fittings 27 becomes troublesome.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the purpose is to provide a Buddhist altar for a columbarium that does not have rivets or the like on the front, and therefore does not require the work of covering the rivets or the like.

This invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

In Figures 1 to 4, a Buddhist altar for a columbarium is constructed by stacking a prayer box 2 for enshrining a memorial tablet, etc., and a burial box 3 vertically to form a Buddhist altar unit 1 (stacked body). A plurality of Buddhist altar units 1 are arranged in a line horizontally and connected to each other by connecting members 4 having a substantially chevron-shaped cross section.

The prayer box 2 and the interment box 3 are all made of aluminum, and the required parts are colored alumite and etched with appropriate patterns (not shown).
is formed.

A vertical frame 5 having a length approximately equal to the height of the Buddhist altar unit 1 is attached to both front side edges of the Buddhist altar unit 1, with its front edge protruding forward beyond the front surface of the Buddhist altar unit 1.

At the rear edge of the vertical frame 5, there is an inward protrusion 5a having a U-shaped cross section.
Each front edge is provided with an outward protrusion 5b,
The vertical frame 5 has an inward protrusion 5a fitted into the front end of the side surface of the prayer box 2 and the interment box 3, so that the box 2,
It is attached to 3.

Further, a hole 6 is bored at the lower end of the vertical frame 5.

The connecting member 4 is made of an extruded aluminum material having approximately the same length as the vertical frame 5, and includes a front wall 4a, left and right side walls 4b and 4c extending rearward from the left and right side edges of the front wall 4a, and the front wall 4a.
and a rear protruding wall 4d extending rearward from the center in the width direction.

Holes 7 and 8 are provided at the lower ends of the left and right side walls 4b and 4c, respectively.

Furthermore, vertical cuts 9 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the rear projecting wall 4d, respectively.

The Buddhist altar units 1 are interconnected by the connecting member 4 as follows.

First, a plurality of Buddhist altar units 1 are arranged in a row horizontally, and two adjacent vertical frames 5 of adjacent Buddhist altar units 1 are sandwiched between the left and right side walls 4bv4c, and the rear protruding wall 4d is placed between the vertical frames 5. In the inserted state, the connecting member 4 is positioned in front of two adjacent vertical frames 5.

Then, a fixing member 10 having a locking protrusion 11 that can fit into the notch 9 is fitted into the upper and lower ends between the vertical frames 5.

The fixing member 10 is approximately U-shaped, and has both left and right side parts 10a and 10b.
One end is integrally connected by a connecting part 10C, and the locking protrusion 11 is located at the center of the connecting part 10c.
It is provided so as to protrude in the same direction as the left and right side surfaces 10a and 10b.

Further, holes 12 are provided in the left and right side surfaces 10a and 10b, respectively.
．． 13 is open.

Such a fixing member 10 is provided on both left and right side surfaces 10a between two adjacent vertical frames 5 of adjacent Buddhist altar units 1.
, 10b are in contact with the vertical frame 5, and the locking protrusion 11 is fitted into the notch 9 to be engaged with the connecting member 4, thereby preventing the connecting member 4 from coming off forward.

Next, by inserting the blind rivets 14 into the holes 6, 7, 12 and 6, 8, 13 and caulking their tips, the left and right side walls 4b, 4c of the connecting member 4 and the vertical frame 5,
Both left and right side surfaces 1ea and 10b of the fixing member 10 are fixed.

Therefore, the head of the rivet 14 cannot be placed on the front side.

In the above embodiment, a Buddhist altar unit is constructed by stacking the prayer box and the columbarium box together in a vertically stacked manner. Although a Buddhist altar is shown, it is not limited to this, and the box body with a prayer part and an ossuary part is divided into two parts above and below.
It may also be a Buddhist altar for a columbarium in which the altars are stacked one on top of the other and the stacks are arranged horizontally in a line.

As mentioned above, the Buddhist altar for a columbarium according to this invention does not have rivets or other things that make it unsightly on the front, so there is no need to attach decorative metal fittings to cover it, and it can be used inside the columbarium. This makes it easier to assemble Buddhist altars.

Further, since the locking protrusion 11 of the fixing member 10 is fitted into the notch 9 of the rear protruding wall 4d of the connecting member 4, the side walls 4b, 4c of the connecting member 4 and the vertical frame 5 are fixed. The connecting member 4 will not come off forward either.

Therefore, when fixing the side walls 4b, 4c and the vertical frame 5, there is no need to hold down the connecting member 4 by hand or the like so that it does not come off, improving work efficiency.
