Description

납골함 { An ossuary pot }Ossuary {An ossuary pot}

본 발명은 망자의 시신을 화장한 후 발생된 유골분을 보관하기 위한 납골함에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 납골함을 도자기로 제작하면서 원적외선 발산물질을 배합하여 유골분을 변질없이 오래동안 보관할 수 있는 납골함에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a ossuary for storing the ashes generated after cremation of the dead body of the dead, and more particularly, a ossuary that can be stored for a long time without altering the ashes by blending far-infrared radiating materials while making the ossuary in porcelain. It is about.

일반적으로, 사람이 사망할 경우에는 장례절차에 따라 시신을 매장하거나 화장을 하는데, 우리나라의 경우 그동안 유교적 전통에 따라 분묘를 만들어 매장하는 풍속이 널리 행해지고 있었다. 그러나 최근에는 묘지에 의해 국토가 잠식되면서 화장에 따른 장묘문화가 권장되고 있는데, 이와 같이 화장시에는 화장에 의해 발생된 유골분을 납골함에 저장한 후 납골당에 안치하는 것이 일반적이다.In general, when a person dies, the burial or cremation is buried according to a funeral procedure. In Korea, customs to burial and burial according to Confucian traditions have been widely practiced. However, in recent years, the burial of culture by the cemetery is encroached by the cemetery, and the burial culture is recommended. In this way, the ashes generated by cremation are stored in the ossuary and then placed in the ossuary.

그런데 종래의 납골함은 목재나 돌을 이용하여 제조되었기 때문에 유골분이 부패하여 악취와 벌레가 생기는 문제점이 있다. 즉, 종래의 납골함에 유골분을 보관할 경우, 기온차가 심한 때에 기온이 급격히 하강하면 납골함 내부의 더운 공기중 수증기가 차가워진 납골함 내벽에 접촉될 때 액체로 변하여 습기가 내벽에 발생되어 하부로 흘러 내려 유골분에 흡수되어 유골분이 자연적으로 변질 내지 부패되기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기 어려운 문제점이 있다.By the way, because the conventional ossuary was manufactured using wood or stone, there is a problem in that the ashes decay and odors and bugs are generated. In other words, when the ashes are stored in a conventional ossuary, if the temperature drops sharply when the temperature difference is severe, the moisture in the inner wall of the urine box turns into a liquid when it comes into contact with the inner wall of the cold ossuary. It is difficult to store for a long time because it is absorbed by the ashes and the ashes are naturally deteriorated or decayed.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 납골함을 도자기로 제조함과 아울러 원적외선 물질을 도포하고, 뚜껑을 이중으로 구성하여 유골분의 부패를 방지할 수 있도록 된 납골함을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems described above, and to provide the ossuary box made of porcelain as well as to apply far-infrared material, and to configure the lid in duplicate to prevent corruption of the ashes.

또한, 상기 속뚜껑은 테두리에 패킹이 부가되어 밀폐성능을 향상시키도록 되어 있고, 납골함의 속뚜껑과 겉뚜껑의 결합을 견고히 하기 위한 티(T)자홈이 중앙에 형성되어 있다. 그리고 상기 단지몸체의 내벽에는 원적외선 물질이 도포되어 있어 원적외선에 의해 유골분의 변질을 방지하며, 전체 외관 형상을 다양한 종교적 상징물 형태로 제작할 수 있다.In addition, the inner lid is a packing is added to the rim to improve the sealing performance, the tee (T) groove for forming a tight coupling of the inner lid and the outer lid of the ossuary is formed in the center. In addition, the inner wall of the complex body is coated with a far-infrared material to prevent deterioration of the ashes by far-infrared rays, and the entire exterior shape can be produced in various religious symbolic forms.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 자세히 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 납골함의 사시도이고, 도 2는 본 발명에 따른 납골함의 겉뚜껑과 몸체를 분리한 분리 사시도이며, 도 3은 본 발명에 따른 납골함의 단면도이다.1 is a perspective view of a crypt according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view separating the cover and the body of the crypt according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the crypt according to the present invention.

도 1 내지 도 3을 참조하면, 본 발명의 납골함(100)은 하부(a)가 상부(b)보다 두꺼운 이중의 두께로 벽이 형성되어 상부(a)와 하부(b)가 만나는 부분에 겉뚜껑(120)을 받쳐주기 위한 받침턱(112)이 형성되어 있고, 상측에 개구부가 형성되고 유골분을 보관할 수 있도록 내부에 공간이 형성된 단지몸체(110)와, 단지몸체(110)의 받침턱(112)에 의해 받쳐져 단지몸체(110)의 상부(b)를 덮기 위한 겉뚜껑(120), 단지몸체(110)의 개구부를 밀폐시키기 위한 속뚜껑(130)으로 구성된다. 이러한 본 발명의 납골함(100)은 도자기로 제작하며, 단지몸체(110)와 겉뚜껑(120)이 하나로 합쳐져 하나의 의미있는 형상을 이루도록 하는 것이 바람직하다. 예컨대, 본 발명의 납골함(100)은 계란형(타원형)이나 구형, 원통형, 직육면체형, 연꽃형, 마리아상, 만찬상 등 각 종교의 상징물 형태 등으로 구현될 수 있다.Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the ossuary 100 of the present invention is formed in a wall with a double thickness of the lower portion (a) is thicker than the upper portion (b) so that the upper portion (a) and the lower portion (b) where the outer surface Supporting jaw 112 for supporting the lid 120 is formed, the opening body is formed on the upper side and the housing body 110 and the space formed therein so that the ashes can be stored, and the support jaw of the housing body 110 Supported by (112) is composed of a lid 120 for covering the upper portion (b) of the jar body 110, the inner lid 130 for sealing the opening of the jar body 110. The ossuary box 100 of the present invention is made of porcelain, it is preferable that only the body 110 and the outer lid 120 are combined into one to form a meaningful shape. For example, the ossuary 100 of the present invention may be implemented in the form of a symbol of each religion, such as egg-shaped (oval), spherical, cylindrical, cuboid, lotus, Maria, dinner table.

본 발명의 실시예에서는 바닥에 안정적으로 안치할 수 있도록 밑바닥(114)이 평평하고 무늬가 없는 타원형의 납골함(100)을 도시하여 설명하기로 한다. 이러한 형태는 하나의 실시예에 불과한 것으로 앞서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명의 납골함은 다양한 형태로 구현될 수 있고, 이러한 한 예로서 연꽃형 납골함이 도 4에 도시되어 있다.In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the bottom 114 is flat and does not have a pattern so as to be stably settled on the floor. This form is only one embodiment, and as described above, the ossuary of the present invention may be implemented in various forms. As an example of this, a lotus-type ossuary is illustrated in FIG. 4.

도 2 및 도 3을 참조하면, 겉뚜껑(120)의 상부 내측에는 속뚜껑(130)과의 결합을 위한 (T)자형 돌출부(122)가 형성되어 속뚜껑(130)과 견고하게 결합되고, 속뚜껑(130)은 납골함 내부를 진공에 가까운 상태로 유지할 수 있도록 테두리에 패킹(134)이 부착되어 있고, 겉뚜껑의 티자형 돌출부(122)와 결합되기 위한 티(T)자형 오목부(132)가 형성되어 있다.2 and 3, the upper inner side of the outer lid 120 (T) shaped protrusion 122 for coupling with the inner lid 130 is formed to be firmly coupled with the inner lid 130, The inner lid 130 has a packing 134 attached to the rim so as to keep the inside of the ossuary close to a vacuum, and a T-shaped recess 132 to be coupled to the tee-shaped protrusion 122 of the outer lid. ) Is formed.

따라서 유골분을 단지몸체(110) 안에 넣은 후 속뚜껑(130)을 닫으면 패킹(134)에 의해 내부가 밀폐되고, 이어 겉뚜껑(120)을 닫으면 겉뚜껑의 티자형 돌출부(122)가 속뚜껑의 티자형 오목부(132)에 삽입되어 겉뚜껑(120)의 누르는 힘에 의해 단지 내부가 완전히 밀폐되어 내부의 유골분이 손상되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Therefore, after the ashes are put into the body 110, the inner lid 130 is closed, and the inside is sealed by the packing 134. Then, when the outer lid 120 is closed, the T-shaped protrusion 122 of the outer lid is the inner lid. It is inserted into the T-shaped recess 132 of the inside is completely sealed only by the pressing force of the outer lid 120 can prevent the ashes in the interior from being damaged.

더욱이, 본 발명에서는 납골함(100)을 구성하는 단지몸체(110)와 겉뚜껑(120), 속뚜껑(130)을 도자기로 만들어 도자기가 가진 고유의 특성(고온에서 소성시 생성된 미세한 구멍을 통해 외부의 공기를 빨아들이기도 하고 내부의 습기를 선택적으로 내보내기도 하는 특성)에 의해 유골분의 변질을 방지함과 아울러 외관이 미려하여 보기에도 좋게 하고, 납골함 자체의 부식도 방지할 수 있다. 특히, 도자기로 된 납골함 내벽에는 원적외선 물질(예컨대, 게루마늄 도료)을 도포하여 원적외선이 방출되게 함으로써 유골분의 변질을 더욱 방지할 수 있다.Furthermore, in the present invention, the jar body 110, the outer lid 120, and the inner lid 130 constituting the ossuary 100 are made of porcelain and have the inherent characteristics of porcelain (the fine holes generated during firing at high temperature). It absorbs outside air and selectively exports moisture inside to prevent deterioration of ashes, and its beautiful appearance makes it look good and also prevents corrosion of the ash box itself. In particular, by applying a far-infrared material (for example, germanium paint) to the inner wall of the pottery crypts, it is possible to further prevent the deterioration of the ashes powder by allowing the far-infrared rays to be emitted.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따르면 유골분을 저장하기 위한 납골함을 도자기로 만듬으로써 도자기의 특성에 의해 외적 미감을 향상시킬 수 있고, 겉뚜껑과 속뚜껑으로 이루어진 이중 구조에 의해 납골함 내부의 급격한 온도변화를 방지하여 물방울 맺힘에 의한 유골분의 변질을 방지하며, 속뚜껑에 패킹을 부가하여 납골함 내부를 진공에 가깝게 유지하여 유골분의 변질을 예방함과 아울러 원적외선 물질을 도포하여 원적외선에 의해서도 유골분의 변질을 예방할 수 있는 잇점이 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, by making the ossuary for storing ashes in porcelain, the external aesthetics can be improved by the characteristics of the porcelain, and the abrupt inside of the ossuary by the double structure composed of the outer lid and the inner lid It prevents the change of the ashes by the condensation of water droplets by preventing the change of temperature, and prevents the change of the ashes by keeping the inside of the ossuary close to the vacuum by adding a packing to the inner lid and prevents the deterioration of the ashes by applying far-infrared material. There is an advantage that can prevent the deterioration of minutes.
