Description

The vacuum system of the ashes {VACUUM SYSTEM FOR CINERARY URN}

The present invention relates to a vacuum system of the ashes, and more particularly, to a sealing system of the ashes with improved vacuum and vacuum retention properties.

In general, the traditional burial funeral culture has problems such as securing a place for burial, limiting the area used in the cemetery, and damaging the natural landscape. For this reason, in recent years, a cremation funeral culture in which the ashes collected through cremation are enclosed in an ashes box and placed in an ossuary hall has become common.

Existing ashes are manufactured using ceramics. In general, ashes made of porcelain are difficult to close tightly, are susceptible to the growth of bacteria, bacteria, or microorganisms, there is a risk of discoloration and decay of the internal remains due to external moisture, and mold bacteria, microorganisms, or insects occur. As a result, there is a risk of damaging not only the internal remains, but also the ashes.

In order to solve these problems, conventional ashes have a double or triple sealed structure, but there is a problem in that the ashes stored inside the ashes cannot be safely stored due to structural or material limitations.

In particular, when the important parts of the ashes are made of synthetic resin such as plastic, the structure of the ashes is inevitably changed due to the material characteristics of the synthetic resin in the process of vacuum/sealing the ashes after storing the ashes inside, and storage and storage. In the process, there is a problem in that the sealing power is deteriorated due to the shape change of the ashes.
