Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an ossuary ossuary device capable of storing a large number of ashes belonging to different religious sects.

[Description of the Prior Art] In general, the remains of the deceased are collected for each different religion, such as Buddhism and Christianity, or for each sect, if they belong to different sects even within the same religion, such as Buddhism. Buried in the cemetery of a religious sect's temple. Furthermore, when cemeteries are provided with graves for each person or each family, land areas for cemeteries will continue to be needed since cemeteries have traditionally been used in a two-dimensional manner.

This not only makes it especially difficult to secure land for cemeteries, especially in large cities where land is scarce and expensive, but also makes it more expensive.

On the other hand, in urban areas, attempts have already been made to make graves three-dimensional by using rocker-style storage areas for remains. However, in this case, the graves are also separate for each religion and sect, so in the end, land must be secured for each religion and sect, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to obtain land. The disadvantage of the high purchase price of graves remained unresolved.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve 1: Traditionally, each religion and sect had different rituals for visiting, so it was necessary to have separate graves for each different religious sect.

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and it is possible to store the remains of a large number of family members belonging to different religious denominations in the same place by effectively utilizing space. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ossuary interment device that allows grave visits and memorial services to be performed at the same place even in cases of different denominations.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an ashes storage box that can store the ashes of multiple people, such as a family unit, and a cremains storage box that can be used for each religious sect to cover the outside of the ashes storage box. Pick up the exterior lid with the corresponding exterior, the desired ashes storage box, and the corresponding exterior lid of the desired religious denomination, cover the picked up ashes storage box with the picked up exterior lid, and put it in the covered state. and conveying means for positioning the ashes storage box on a mounting table of a predetermined altar.

[Operation] By inputting the number etc. of the deceased into the input device,
The electronic control circuit operates the conveyance means, picks up the desired cremated remains storage box and the corresponding outer lid, covers the outer lid with the cremated remains storage box, and in that state is transported to a predetermined T & placement table for storage. In this state, religious events such as memorial services can be held. When the memorial service is over, the transport means is operated again by the operation of the timer or the electronic control circuit, and the ashes storage box and the outer lid are separated and returned to their original positions.

[Example] Next, a preferred example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

The ashes storage device of the present invention mainly consists of a large number of ashes storage boxes 1 that can store ashes by family, a number of external lids 2 for each religious sect to cover the outside of the ashes storage boxes 1, and a number of external lids 2 for each religious sect. Ashes storage box 1 and exterior lid 2 corresponding to the family's religious denomination

and are housed in one building.

The cremated remains storage box 1 can store a plurality of urns 4 containing cremated remains, and by opening and closing the lid 5 on the top, the urns 4 can be
It is said to be shaped so that it can be taken in and out.

The exterior lid 2 is prepared in large numbers for each religious sect, and is formed into a box shape that covers the front, left, right, and top surfaces of the remains storage box l, excluding the bottom surface. And each exterior lid 2
On the front side, religious decorations suitable for religious events such as grave visits and memorial services are decorated in accordance with each religious sect, and a display section 7 is provided on which information about the deceased is displayed. There is. This decoration is unique to each religious sect; for example, in Buddhism, there are patterns such as a memorial tablet and surrounding lotus flowers, and in Christianity, there are crosses, statues of Christ, and statues of Mary. It is like the shape of In addition, the display section 7
Displays information such as the deceased's posthumous name, name, date of death, age of death, etc.

Note that the display section 7 may display the personal information of all family members stored in the ashes storage box l for the convenience of visiting graves during Obon and Higan. Among the pre-displayed items, there is also a configuration in which only the display unit 7 of the corresponding person is surrounded by a light bulb or illuminated with light such as a light to make it clear. Note that the religious decorations on the exterior lid 2 can be replaced by displaying them on a cRT screen.

On the other hand, the conveying means 3 takes out and moves the ashes storage box 1, takes out and moves the exterior lid 2, combines the exterior lid 2 with the ashes storage box 1, and predetermined combinations thereof. It consists of a transport machine that can be placed at a location, a keyboard for inputting the code number of the person concerned, and an electronic control circuit that operates the transport machine in response to input from the keyboard. This electronic control circuit selects a desired cremated remains storage box l and a religious sect corresponding to it from among a large number of cremated remains storage boxes l and many types of outer lids 2 stored in the cremated remains storage area 8 and exterior lid storage area 9, respectively. Selecting and extracting the exterior lid 2 of the body, and moving the selected remains storage box 1 and exterior lid M2 in and out of the remains storage area 8 and exterior lid storage area 9 of the remains storage box 1 and the exterior lid storage area 9, It controls the lifting, lowering, traversing, and turning (direction change) operations of the transporting machine that combines both functions.

Furthermore, the ashes storage box 1 covered with the outer lid 2 will eventually be placed on a mounting stand 1 on an altar 11 in a room specially provided for memorial services.
2. This altar 11 is designed to be non-religious so that religious events of each sect can be held there. A plurality of altars 11 are provided in the building, and memorial services of a plurality of religious sects can be held simultaneously at any given time. Further, the altar 11 may be provided with a frame 13 for storing a photograph of the deceased, a speaker 14 through which the voice of the deceased can be heard while alive, etc., as necessary.

Further, the remains storage area 8 in which a large number of the remains storage boxes 1 are permanently placed is formed of three-dimensional racks extending over many layers. Further, the exterior lid storage area 9 in which many types of exterior lids 2 for each religious sect are permanently placed is also formed by a three-dimensional rack. Such ashes storage area 8 and exterior lid storage area 9 may be, for example, a multi-story building.

Next, its operation will be explained.

First, a key operation is performed to enter the code number of the person in question. Thereby, the electronic control circuit selects the relevant remains storage box 1 and exterior lid 2 from the remains storage area 8 and exterior lid storage area 9, and outputs an output signal to the M transport machine to transport them. emanate.

Performing at multiple locations is called a round. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to provide cemetery land for each religious sect, as was the case in the past, and land can be used more effectively from an urban perspective.

In addition, compared to conventional graves where one grave is built on land, the present invention allows a multi-story building above and below ground to be built on the same area of land as conventional graves. It is possible to store several hundred lines of human remains within the available space. Therefore, even for temples where it is difficult to expand land for graveyards, there is an advantage in that a larger number of remains can be accommodated by utilizing the area of the current cemetery, and the capacity for storing remains can be increased.

Furthermore, the cost of graves per family becomes cheaper for users, and as a result, there is the advantage that it becomes easier for users to have graves for branch families separate from the main family.

Moreover, it can also be used as a grave for dogs, cats, etc.
