Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for protecting a grave and an urn or ashes, and more particularly to a method for protecting a grave and an urn or ashes that aims to protect the urn or ashes. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, for example, there is a tomb in which a grass base, a middle base, and a pillar stone are stacked above the sarcophagus casket, and a water basin is provided in front of the middle base (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-145562 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, in the above tombs, there was a problem in that the urns inside the stone coffins were damaged by earthquakes and other events.
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a method for protecting graves, urns, and ashes, which has been made in consideration of the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The grave described in claim 1 is a grave equipped with a sarcophagus casket, and is provided with a protective element installed within the sarcophagus casket, the protective element comprising a metal plate and a support element for supporting the plate, and an urn or ashes are located below the plate of the protective element.
[0007] Furthermore, the grave described in claim 2 is a grave equipped with a sarcophagus casket, and is provided with a protective member installed within the sarcophagus casket and including a metal plate and a support member for supporting the plate, with an urn or ashes positioned below the plate of the protective member, and the support member being fixed to the installation surface within the sarcophagus casket with anchor bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, the tomb described in claim 3 is a tomb described in claim 1 or claim 2, in which the sarcophagus carot is provided with a ventilation hole that allows access to the outside air, and in plan view, a gap is formed between the outer periphery of the plate and the inner wall of the sarcophagus carot.
[0009] Furthermore, the method for protecting an urn or ashes described in claim 4 is a method for protecting an urn or ashes by a protective member placed above the urn or ashes placed on a mounting surface inside a sarcophagus, the protective member comprising a metal plate and a support member for supporting the plate, and the urn or ashes being positioned below the plate of the protective member.
[0010] Furthermore, the method for protecting an urn or ashes described in claim 5 is the method for protecting an urn or ashes described in claim 4, wherein the plate is rectangular and the support member is at least four support members or two rectangular support plates. [Effects of the Invention]
[0011] According to the tomb described in claim 1, the urn or ashes below the plate can be protected by a protective member to prevent the sarcophagus casket from falling onto the urn or ashes in the event of an earthquake or the like.
[0012] Furthermore, according to the grave described in claim 2, the protective member can protect the urn or ashes below the plate so that the sarcophagus carot does not collapse onto the urn or ashes in the event of an earthquake, etc., and since the support member is fixed to the installation surface inside the sarcophagus carot with anchor bolts, the urn or ashes below the plate can be better protected to the extent that the protective member is fixed with anchor bolts.
[0013] Furthermore, according to the tomb described in claim 3, in addition to the effects of the invention described in claim 1 or claim 2 above, the sarcophagus casket is provided with a ventilation hole that allows access to the outside air, and when viewed from above, a gap is formed between the outer periphery of the plate and the inner wall of the sarcophagus casket, which makes it possible to prevent mold from growing on the bones, ashes, etc. inside the urn.
[0014] Furthermore, according to the method for protecting an urn or ashes described in claim 4, the urn or ashes below the plate can be protected by a protective member to prevent the sarcophagus carot from falling onto the urn or ashes in the event of an earthquake or the like. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0015] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a grave (above ground burial chamber with the ossuary installed above ground level) according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the sarcophagus carotid of FIG. 1 with the upper part removed. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the protective member of FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a schematic exploded perspective view showing the protective member of FIG. [Figure 5] FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a tomb (an underground ossuary in which an ossuary chamber is installed below ground level) according to another embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 6] FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view of the sarcophagus carotid of FIG. 5 with the upper part removed. [Figure 7] FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of the protective member of FIG. [Figure 8] FIG. 8 is a schematic exploded perspective view showing the protective member of FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] A grave and urn or ashes protection method according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
[0017] T shown in Figure 1 is an above-ground grave with an ossuary installed above ground level. Tomb T consists of at least a grass base 2, a middle base 3, an upper base 4, and a pillar stone 5 stacked above a sarcophagus casket 1. 3, the reference numeral 6 denotes a protective member, which is installed inside the sarcophagus carotid 1 and comprises a metal plate 61 and support members 62, 62, 62, 62 that support the plate 61. The reference numeral 63 denotes an intervening member located between the plate 61 and the support member 62. The urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) is positioned below the plate 61 of the protective member 6. The sarcophagus 1 has, for example, upright stone front members 11, 12, and 13, an upright stone right member 14, an upright stone left member 15, and an upright stone back member 16. Reference numeral 17 denotes a ventilation opening.
[0018] Therefore, in the above-mentioned tomb T, the protective member 6 can protect the urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) below the plate 61 so that the sarcophagus carotid 1 does not fall onto the urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) in the event of an earthquake or the like.
[0019] Considering the above-mentioned Tomb T from the perspective of the invention of a "method for protecting an urn or ashes," the invention of the method for protecting an urn or ashes is a method for protecting an urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) by a protective member 6 provided above the urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) placed on a mounting surface 8 inside a sarcophagus carotid 1, the protective member 6 comprising a metal plate 61 and support members 62, 62, 62, 62 that support the plate 61, the urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) being located below the plate 61 of the protective member 6. According to this "method for protecting an urn or ashes," the protective member 6 can protect the urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) below the plate 61 to prevent the sarcophagus carotid 1 from tipping over onto the urn 7 (or ashes, not shown) in the event of an earthquake or the like.
[0020] Furthermore, the support members 62, 62, 62, 62 are fixed to the installation surface 8 inside the sarcophagus carotid 1 with anchor bolts 8, and therefore, since the protective member 6 is fixed with anchor bolts 9, the urn 7 or ashes below the plate 61 can be better protected. In addition, in plan view, a gap t is formed between the outer periphery of the plate 61 and the inner wall of the sarcophagus carotid 1. Therefore, outside air flows through the ventilation hole 17 and the gap t, improving ventilation and preventing mold from growing on the bones, ashes, etc. in the urn 7.
[0021] In the grave T of the above-mentioned embodiment, the description was given of an above-ground ossuary grave T in which the ossuary chamber is installed above ground level GL, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be similarly applied to, for example, an underground ossuary grave T in which the ossuary chamber is installed below ground level as shown in Figures 6 to 8.In the grave T of Figures 6 to 8, the same parts as those in the grave T of Figures 1 to 4 described above are given the same symbols and their explanations will be omitted.
