A FUNCTIONAL MEMORIAL TABLET THAT A SUPPLEMENTARY PRIZE HAS BUILT-IN

Technical Field

[1] The invention relates to a functional memorial tablet having a supplementary prize built therein, and more particularly, to a functional memorial tablet having a supplementary prize built therein, wherein the memorial tablet is structured as a case that is opened and closed in a sliding manner, thereby improving a market quality relating to an external appearance of the memorial tablet, enabling a supplementary prize presented with the memorial tablet, such as gold, silver and memorial coins, to be easily accommodated and thus improving constitutive property and convenience relating to the preservation and presentation. Background Art

[2] In general, a memorial tablet is a tablet that is made for memorizing a certain work.

A variety of tablets have been suggested and used in accordance with materials, shapes, appearances and the like. A general structure is as follows: various memorial contents such as phrases, pictures, photographs and the like are engraved on a front surface of the memorial tablet having a specific shape.

[3] Although only the memorial tablet itself is presented, a supplementary prize is also mostly presented together with the memorial tablet. In this case, the memorial tablet and the supplementary prize are respectively packaged and presented in separate cases. Accordingly, it is very troublesome, in view of the costs and convenience.

[4] Accordingly, considering the above problem, the applicant suggested a memorial tablet having a supplementary prize built therein, wherein the supplementary prize and the memorial tablet are integrated (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 219692).

[5] The tablet is a novel tablet in which the supplementary prize is built in the tablet, breaking the conventional tablet in which only the memorial phrase is engraved. A general structure of the tablet is as follows: front and rear plate bodies are structured so that they can be assembled and disassembled each other by a bolt, a nut, a magnet and the like. A memorial plate of a plate shape, which consists of a noble metal such as gold, silver and the like, which can be promptly encashed or be in common use as transaction means, is built in the tablet and a variety of phrases are engraved on the front surface of the memorial tablet.

[6] However, according to the above structure, the supplementary prize that is presented together with the memorial tablet is pate-shaped, so that the general memorial tablet can be structured in an extremely limited manner. As a result, the market-quality thereof is decreased.

[7] In particular, when the supplementary prize is shaped into a circular form such as memorial coin, a rectangular form and various bulk form, it is difficult to apply the above structure. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[8] The invention has been made to solve the above problem occurring in the prior art.

An object of the invention is to provide a functional memorial tablet wherein the memorial tablet is structured as a case that is opened and closed in a sliding manner, and a supplementary prize made of noble metal such as gold, silver and the like, which can be promptly encashed or be in common use as transaction means, is accommodated in the memorial tablet, thereby improving producibility of the memorial tablet and preserving the supplementary prize efficiently. Technical Solution

[9] In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a memorial tablet comprising a plate- shaped body having a storage room formed therein in which a supplementary prize is able to be accommodated, and a display plate slidably engaged to a front surface of the body to open and close the storage room and having a surface on which a variety of memorial phrases are engraved, thereby enabling the memorial tablet to be formed in various shapes and the supplementary prize having various shapes to be effectively accommodated.

Advantageous Effects

[10] According to the invention, the supplementary prize that is presented together with the memorial tablet is comprised of noble metal such as gold and silver, which can be promptly encashed and in common use as transaction means, thereby increasing the value of the memorial tablet and the producibility thereof.

[11] In particular, the memorial tablet of the invention is formed into a storage case capable of easily accommodating the supplementary prize and is structured such that it is opened and closed in up-and-down and right and left sliding manner, thereby preserving the supplementary prize with ease and safety and uniquely forming an outward appearance of the memorial tablet to improve the producibility thereof.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[20] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[21] Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a general structure of the invention,

Figs. 3 to 6 are sectional views and Figs. 7 to 9 show the other embodiments of the invention.

[22] In the drawings, a reference numeral 100 indicates a main body of a memorial tablet to which the invention is applied. The memorial tablet 100 comprises a body 10, a display plate 20 that is engaged to a front surface of the body 10 and is opened and closed in a sliding manner, and a supplementary prize 30 accommodated in a storage room of the body 10.

[23] The body 10 maintains a general outward appearance of the memorial tablet 100 and is made of wood. However, it may be formed with a variety of materials such as acryl, crystal, glass and the like. The body is formed into a plate shape and is integrally provided at both sides of a front surface thereof with rail grooves 11 to which the display plate 20 is engaged and operated in a sliding manner.

[24] Furthermore, in upper and lower parts of the front surface, it is respectively formed a storage room 12 in which the supplementary prize comprised of noble metal such as gold and silver is accommodated and a deposit room 13 in which an imitation supplementary prize 30a, which is shaped same as the supplementary prize, is accommodated.

[25] The storage room 12 and the deposit room 13 are structured to have a same shape as the outward appearance of the supplementary prize 30. For example, when the su pplementary prize 30 is shaped into various forms such as a quadrangle, a polygon, animals and plants and the like, the rooms are preferably shaped to meet the shape of the supplementary prize.

[26] In addition, a push plate 31 is mounted in the storage room 12 and a spring 32 is provided to push a rear surface of the push plate 31, so that the supplementary prize 30 is always pushed forward.

[27] Furthermore, a magnet 14 is provided at a predetermined position on the front surface of the body 10, thereby providing fixing force for the sliding opening and closing operation of the display plate 20. [28] Additionally, the display plate 20 engaged to the front surface of the body 10 is formed into a plate shape, is formed to have a display surface 21 on which various memorial phrases are engraved and is provided at both sides thereof with rails 22 that are slidably engaged with the rail grooves 11 of the body 10, respectively.

[29] In addition, a see-through hole 23 is formed at a predetermined upper position so that the supplementary prize 30 accommodated in the storage room 12 of the body 10 is exposed. The see-through hole 23 is formed with a step 24 so that the supplementary prize 30 is not protruded outward.

[30] Further, the supplementary prize 30 is comprised of noble metal such as gold and silver, which can be promptly encashed and in common use as transaction means, so that a conferrer can encash it, irrespective of the memorial tablet.

[31] At this time, the body 10 of the memorial tablet 100 or the supplementary prize 30 may be formed to have various sizes and shapes such as, circle, quadrangle, polygon, lucky key, heart, animals and plants and the like. In addition, diverse characters and patterns may be engraved therein.

[32] According to the invention, as shown in the drawings, the storage room 12 of the body 10 accommodates the supplementary prize 30 comprised of noble metal, such as gold, silver, memorial coin and the like, the deposit room 13 accommodates the imitation supplementary prize 30a, which is shaped same as the supplementary prize 30, the display plate 20 is slidably engaged at the front surface of the body through the rail grooves 11, and the various display contents are engraved on the front display surface 21.

[33] As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the memorial tablet, which is presented together with the supplementary prize, can be used with being exhibited. At this time, as the supplementary prize 30 is exposed outward through the see-through hole 23 of the display plate 20, the feel of the material thereof is shown as it is, thereby improving the pro- ducibility.

[34] In the mean time, when it is desired to insert and detach the supplementary prize 30 of the memorial tablet 100, a user pushes the supplementary prize 30 through the see- through hole 23 of the display plate 20, as shown in Figs. 4 and 6. As a result, the supplementary prize 30 is completely inserted into the storage room 12 while compressing the spring 32, so that it can open and close the display plate 20 from the body 10 in the sliding manner.

[35] At this time, the display plate 20, which is operated in the sliding manner, can be connected with the body and can be opened and closed without being completely separated from the body 10, due to the magnetic force between the magnets 25, 26 provided at predetermined upper and lower positions and the magnet 14 provided to the body 10. [36] Accordingly, since the display plate 20 can be opened in the vertical direction from the body 10, the supplementary prize 30 or imitation supplementary prize 30a accommodated in the storage room 12 or deposit room 13 can be easily inserted and picked out.

[37] In other words, the supplementary prize 30 accommodated in the storage room 12 of the display plate 20 is separate goods which are presented together with the memorial tablet 100 and comprised of noble metal such as pure gold. Accordingly, when it is desired to encash the supplementary prize, a user picks out the supplementary prize 30 to encash or to commonly use it as transaction means. To the contrary, a user picks put the imitation supplementary prize 30a preserved in the deposit room 13 and puts it in the storage room 12 in which the original supplementary prize 30 is accommodated, thereby preserving it as a memento.

[38] At this time, the imitation supplementary prize 30a is an imitation which is manufactured same as the supplementary prize 30 and gold or silver powders are applied to the surface thereof so as to exhibit an image like the noble metal.

[39] In the mean time, Fig. 7 shows another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, a cushion member 33 comprised of sponge and the like having predetermined cushioning force is built in a storage room 12a of the body 10, instead of the spring, thereby supporting the supplementary prize 30 with safety, in addition to the function of the spring.

[40] In addition, Fig. 8 shows still another embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment, a display plate 20a, which is slidably engaged with the body 10 of the memorial tablet 100, is opened and closed in the right and left directions, rather than the vertical direction.

[41] Furthermore, Fig. 9 shows another embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment, a plurality of the see-through holes 23 are formed on the surfaces of the display plate 20, which is opened and closed in the vertical direction, and the display plate 20a, which is opened and closed in the right and left directions. Therefore, it is possible to accommodate the supplementary prize 30 in diverse manners.

[42] For example, it is possible to accommodate the supplementary prize 30 depending on the types or colors thereof and to accommodate the diverse memorial coins in plural.
