Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing funeral supplies, specifically to a multi-layered treasure casket for ashes. Background Art

[0002] Ashes caskets are the main funeral supplies in the domestic and international markets today. Since cremation was less common in ancient China, even for those who were cremated, their ashes were generally collected in containers such as ceramic urns. Most of the existing ashes caskets are single-layer ones, which are mainly made of a single material. In addition to single-layer ashes caskets, there are also a small number of double-layer ones. Most of these double-layer ashes caskets are composed of inner and outer boxes made of different materials respectively, and a small number are made of the same material. Among them, some double-layer ashes caskets have an outer box in the shape of a coffin chamber and an inner box in the shape of a coffin, which to a certain extent reflects the characteristics of traditional Chinese coffin burial culture. In addition, there are extremely few multi-layer ashes caskets with three or more layers on the market currently. These ashes caskets are mainly designed for moisture-proof, waterproof, and odor-proof purposes, lacking the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture and unable to meet the domestic and international market demands for multi-layer ashes caskets with traditional Chinese cultural characteristics, beautiful and profound meanings, and relatively high grades. In recent years, China has introduced the technology of processing ashes into ash crystals, also known as life crystals, from abroad. However, there is currently no special container for placing ash crystals on the market. Therefore, from the perspective of meeting the diverse market demands at home and abroad, drawing on and referring to the coffin burial culture with a history of 5,000 - 7,000 years since the Yangshao Culture period of the Neolithic Age from 5000 BC to 3000 BC in China and the multi-layered treasure casket culture for burying Buddhist relics with a heritage of nearly 1,800 years since the Buddhist relics flowed into China during the Three Kingdoms period from 220 AD to 280 AD, and refining and integrating the cultural heritages of the above two, designing and developing specific products of multi-layered treasure casket for ashes composed of three or more containers, with distinct traditional Chinese cultural characteristics, including two categories for placing ashes and ash processing products such as ash crystals respectively, and including numerous models and specifications, has positive significance for carrying forward traditional Chinese culture and developing domestic economic construction. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-layered treasure casket for ashes to achieve the purpose of solving the above problems.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned and related purposes, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a multi-layered treasure box type cinerary casket, comprising a set of containers composed of a multi-layer container set, wherein each layer of containers in the multi-layer container is an independent individual, each layer of containers is made of related materials, each layer of containers has a certain shape and structure, each layer of containers can be decorated with certain words, patterns, designs, and decorative objects on the surface, and each layer of containers has different volumes and can be set layer by layer, so that these multi-layer containers can be combined into a multi-layered treasure box type cinerary casket. The "multi-layer" in the set of containers composed of the multi-layer container set is synonymous with the "multi-layer" in the name of the present invention "a multi-layered treasure box type cinerary casket". In the present invention, the number of layers of multi-layered containers combined into the multi-layered treasure box type cinerary casket is specifically 3 to 9 layers (i.e., including 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 layers). Each layer of containers is an independent individual, which means that each layer of containers is not connected to each other and can be taken out separately from the set of containers of the multi-layered treasure box type cinerary casket to become an independent container. The said layers of containers are made of relevant materials, which means that these relevant materials include but are not limited to all materials for making existing urns, mainly stone (including sandstone, bluestone, shale, granite, marble, white marble, jade, etc.), wood (including fir, pine, camphor, paulownia, locust, elm, cypress, catalpa, sunken wood, sandalwood, nanmu and golden nanmu, etc.), iron (including iron alloy), copper (including copper alloy), silver (including silver plating, silver wrapping, etc.), gold (including gold plating, gilding, gold foil, etc.), titanium alloy, crystal, colored glaze, glass, ceramics, carbon fiber, plastic, fiberglass, artificial stone, basalt fiber, cement, clay, etc. The materials used for the containers in each layer are generally different, but the same material can also be used for containers in some layers. The containers at each layer have certain shapes and structures, which means that these shapes and structures include but are not limited to boxes, boxes, tents, buildings, towers, coffins, bowls, jars, bottles, balls, etc. The shapes and structures of the containers at each layer are generally different, but containers at certain levels may also adopt roughly the same shape and structure. The surfaces of the containers at each layer can be decorated with certain words, patterns, designs, and decorative objects, which means that various existing technologies and processes such as painting, painting, sculpture, inlay, engraving, hammering, stamping, casting, forging, firing, pasting, welding, photocopying, 3D printing, ultrasonic and laser processing are used, and modern and ancient texts, patterns, designs, and decorative objects are referred to, especially the cultural heritage of coffin burials with a history of 5,000-7,000 years in China and the cultural heritage of multiple treasure boxes for burying Buddhist relics with a history of nearly 1,800 years to carry out diversified design and factory production of texts, patterns, designs, and decorative objects on the surface of containers, so as to better highlight the characteristics of Chinese traditional culture.These characters, patterns, designs, and decorative objects include, but are not limited to, traditional Chinese characters such as "Fu" (happiness) and "Shou" (longevity), as well as patterns and related designs of the dragon (including the blue dragon), white tiger, rosefinch, black tortoise, phoenix, seven stars, etc. Patterns and related designs of Buddhist Buddha statues, bodhisattvas, arhats, guardians, flying apsaras, lions, elephants, Garudas, mani jewels, bodhi trees, lotuses, mountain flower plantain leaves, honeysuckle, etc., and various gemstones, amber, pearls, corals, giant clams or their imitation substitutes and other decorative objects. Generally, the characters, patterns, designs, and decorative objects decorated on the surfaces of each layer of containers are different, but it is also possible to decorate the surfaces of some layers of containers with roughly the same characters, patterns, designs, and decorative objects or not to decorate any characters, patterns, designs, and decorative objects. The volumes and sizes of the various layers of containers are different and can be nested layer by layer, so that these multi-layer containers can be combined into a multi-layered precious casket for holding ashes, which means that the relevant dimensions of the volume from the outermost layer of the casket for holding ashes to the innermost layer of the casket are gradually reduced layer by layer, and the inner layer of the container can be placed into the adjacent outer layer of the container, so as to achieve nesting layer by layer, so that these multi-layer containers can be combined into a complete set of containers, that is, the present invention: a multi-layered precious casket for holding ashes.

[0005] A gap of different sizes is designed and reserved between each layer of containers of the multi-layered precious casket for holding ashes. Some larger gaps provided between some adjacent containers can be used to place small funerary objects, such as physical mementos of the deceased, such as hair, nails, teeth, etc. (There are two purposes for placing them. One is to commemorate the deceased, and the other is to be prepared for possible DNA identification in the future), representative small relics beloved by the deceased during his lifetime, as well as seals, photos, images, sounds, data and information carriers related to the life story, writings, last words, wills, etc., main works, manuscripts, honorary items such as certificates of merit, certificates, medals, and decorations, and even soil from the hometown, place of birth, or place where the deceased worked for a long time, etc. Smaller gaps provided between some adjacent layers of containers can be filled with substances that are moisture-proof, waterproof, odor-proof, and can prevent the containers from rusting or decaying, which are in a liquid, gel, powder, solid state, or can be transformed from a liquid state to a solid state, so as to better protect the containers adjacent to these smaller gaps and the entire multi-layered precious casket for holding ashes.

[0006] Combining the three elements of the number of layers of the entire set of containers that make up the multi-layered treasure box-style urn, the materials selected for each layer of the container, and the shape and structure for various combinations will result in many design options for the multi-layered treasure box-style urn. Then, based on whether the multi-layered treasure box-style urn is used to place ashes or ash processing products such as ash crystals, and at the same time drawing on and referring to the relevant forms and rituals in Chinese coffin burial culture and the treasure box culture of burying Buddhist relics, making choices among these combined design options, it is possible to produce two major categories of multi-layered treasure box-style urns for placing ashes and ash processing products such as ash crystals, and including many models and specifications of specific multi-layered treasure box-style urn products, some of which are economical and practical, and some of which are luxurious and high-end, thus providing a multi-layered treasure box-style urn with distinct Chinese traditional cultural characteristics and diverse varieties for the international and domestic markets. The "multi-layered treasure box-style" in the name of a multi-layered treasure box-style urn of the present invention indicates that the present invention highlights the characteristics of Chinese traditional coffin burial and the treasure box culture of burying Buddhist relics.

[0007] The volume size of the described multi-layered treasure box-style urn is mainly determined by the number of layers of the urn's containers, the volume size of each layer of the container, and the gap size between adjacent containers.

[0008] The described multi-layered treasure box-style urn can be used to place ashes or ash processing products such as ash crystals. According to whether it is used to place ashes or ash processing products such as ash crystals, the present invention can be divided into two major categories of urns. The structures of the two major categories of urns are generally the same. The innermost layer of the container is used to place ashes or ash processing products such as ash crystals. The main difference between the two is that the volume of the innermost layer of the container of the urn for placing ash processing products such as ash crystals is generally significantly smaller than that of the innermost layer of the container of the urn for placing ashes, which in turn correspondingly affects the volume sizes of other layers of the container. Therefore, the volume of the entire multi-layered treasure box-style urn for placing ash processing products such as ash crystals is generally significantly smaller than that of the multi-layered treasure box-style urn for placing ashes, making the multi-layered treasure box-style urn for placing ash processing products such as ash crystals of the present invention can be placed at home or conveniently placed in the columbarium or cemetery. The volume of the innermost layer of the container of the multi-layered treasure box-style urn for placing ashes is basically the same as that of most urns on the current market. To save storage space and production costs, the smaller-volume multi-layered treasure box-style urns for placing ashes of the present invention can meet the regulations on the volume size of urns in different countries and regions of China, and the larger-volume multi-layered treasure box-style urns for placing ashes are supplied to countries and some regions of China where there are no specific regulations on the volume size of urns.

[0009] Preferably, the number of layers of the multi-layered containers that make up the multi-layered treasure box-style urn is 3, 4, or 5 layers.

[0010] Preferably, the relevant materials used for each layer of the container are stone (including bluestone, granite, marble, white marble, jade, etc.), wood (including fir, locust, elm, cypress, catalpa, ancient wood, sandalwood, nanmu, and golden nanmu, etc.), iron (including ferroalloys), copper (including copper alloys), silver (including silver plating, silver cladding, etc.), gold (including gold plating, gilding, gold leafing, etc.), titanium alloy, crystal, glass, glass, ceramics, and plastics.

[0011] Preferably, the shape and structure of each layer of the container are box, casket, bowl, pagoda, outer coffin, inner coffin, and bottle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar components or components with the same or similar functions.

[0020] Embodiment 1: A triple-treasure-casket-style urn for placing ashes As Figure 1As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention is a triple treasure box - type urn for placing ashes, and the number of layers of the urn is determined to be 3. When the specific number of layers of the whole set of containers of the multi - treasure box - type urn has been determined, various combinations of the two elements of the material and the shape structure selected for each layer of the container will also form multi - treasure box - type urns with numerous models and specifications (the same applies to other embodiments of the present invention, and this sentence will not be repeated). The shape structure of Embodiment 1 of the present invention from the outermost container to the innermost container is the outermost box (1), the middle coffin (3), and the innermost coffin (5). In actual implementation of the present invention, the shape structure from the outermost container to the innermost container can be changed. For example, it can also be other combinations such as a box, a bowl, a case, etc. Those familiar with the relevant technology can easily understand the relevant advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification and list a series of embodiments by analogy (the same applies to other embodiments of the present invention, and this sentence will not be repeated). Even if the shape structures of these three layers of containers remain unchanged, if different materials are used, many kinds of products of multi - treasure box - type urns can be combined. Now, only three representative combined products of Embodiment 1 of three models are listed as examples of economy - type, mid - range type, and high - end type: 1. Economy - type: bluestone box + stainless - steel coffin + catalpa wood coffin; 2. Mid - range type: marble box + silver - plated stainless - steel coffin + gold - plated copper coffin; 3. High - end type: white marble box + silver coffin + gold coffin.

[0021] When producing the multi - treasure box - type urn, the surfaces of each layer of the container can be respectively decorated with certain characters, patterns, designs, and decorative objects. These characters, patterns, designs, and decorative objects can be those designed and finalized by the production enterprise, or can be custom - designed according to the special requirements of customers. However, on the surfaces of some layers of the container, no characters, patterns, designs, and decorative objects can also be decorated. This will not be elaborated here (the same applies to other embodiments of the present invention, and this sentence will not be repeated).

[0022] Before actually using the urn, a photo of the deceased (33) can also be inlaid on the outer side of the outermost box (1) of the urn at the small - end of the innermost coffin (5). The other three outer sides of the outermost box (1) can also be engraved with a brief introduction to the life of the deceased, and the lid (9) of the outermost box can also be engraved with an epitaph (the same applies to Embodiments 2 and 4 of the present invention, and this sentence will not be repeated).

[0023] When actually using an urn, the innermost coffin (5) containing ashes (31) is sealed and then placed into the middle coffin chamber (3). A relatively large gap (14) is provided between the middle coffin chamber (3) and the innermost coffin (5), which can be used to place small funerary objects, such as body mementos of the deceased like hair, nails, teeth, etc., representative small relics beloved during the lifetime, as well as seals, data carriers such as photos, videos, sounds, materials related to the life story, works, last words, wills, etc., main works, manuscripts, honorary items such as awards, certificates, medals, decorations, etc. In the gap between the bottom plate of the innermost coffin (5) and the upper surface of the bottom plate of the middle coffin chamber (3), it is also possible to place the soil (34) of the deceased's hometown, place of birth or the place where they worked for a long time that has been dried and sealed. After the innermost coffin (5) and the funerary objects inside the middle coffin chamber (3) are placed well, the middle coffin chamber (3) is sealed, and then the middle coffin chamber (3) is placed into the outermost case (1). Usually, there is no relatively large gap between the outermost case (1) and the middle coffin chamber (3) of the triple-casket-style urn, but a smaller gap (11) is reserved, which is used to fill with substances that are moisture-proof, waterproof, odor-proof, and prevent the container from rusting or decaying, such as rosin, synthetic resin, etc., which are in liquid, gel, powder, solid state or can be transformed from liquid to solid state. Finally, the upper cover (9) of the outermost case is sealed, and then the multi-casket-style urn can be stored at home or placed in a columbarium or cemetery.

[0024] Embodiment 2: Five-casket-style urn for placing ashes As Figure 2 shown, Embodiment 2 of the present invention is a five-casket-style urn for placing ashes. The number of layers of the urn is determined to be 5 layers. The shape and structure from the outermost container to the innermost container are the outermost case (1), the second outermost box (2), the middle coffin chamber (3), the second innermost coffin (4), and the innermost coffin (5). Even if the shape and structure of these five layers of containers remain unchanged, if different materials are used, many kinds of multi-casket-style urn products can be combined. Now, only three representative combined products of Embodiment 2 of three models are listed as examples of economy type, mid-range type, and high-end type: 1. Economy type: bluestone case + stainless steel box + fir coffin chamber + ceramic coffin + catalpa coffin; 2. Mid-range type: marble case + stainless steel box + cypress coffin chamber + silver-plated stainless steel coffin + gold-plated copper coffin; 3. High-end type: white marble case + titanium alloy box + nanmu coffin chamber + silver coffin + gold coffin.

[0025] When actually using an urn, the innermost coffin (5) containing ashes (31) is sealed and then placed into the second innermost coffin (4). A certain gap (16) is provided between the second innermost coffin (4) and the innermost coffin (5), which can be used to place physical mementos such as the hair, nails, and teeth of the deceased, as well as items such as seals. The sealed second innermost coffin (4) is placed into the middle coffin chamber (3). A relatively large gap (15) is provided between the middle coffin chamber (3) and the second innermost coffin (4), which can be used to place representative small mementos beloved by the deceased during his or her lifetime, as well as data carriers such as photos, videos, sounds, materials related to the life story, writings, last words, and wills, main writings, manuscripts, and honorary items such as awards, certificates, medals, and decorations. The gap between the bottom of the second innermost coffin (4) and the top of the bottom of the middle coffin chamber (3) can also be used to place the soil (34) from the hometown, place of birth, or place where the deceased worked for a long time, which has been dried and sealed. After the second innermost coffin (4) and the funerary objects inside the middle coffin chamber (3) are properly placed, the middle coffin chamber (3) is sealed and then placed into the second outermost box (2). After the second outermost box (2) is sealed, it is then placed into the outermost case (1). Usually, no relatively large gap is provided between the second outermost box (2) and the middle coffin chamber (3) and between the outermost case (1) and the second outermost box (2), but small gaps (13) and (12) are reserved for filling with substances that are moisture-proof, waterproof, odor-proof, and can prevent the container from rusting or decaying, such as rosin, synthetic resin, etc., which are in a liquid or gel or powder or solid state or can be transformed from a liquid state to a solid state. Finally, the upper cover (9) of the outermost case is sealed, and the multi-layered case type urn can be placed in the columbarium or cemetery.

[0026] Embodiment 3: A triple-layered case type urn for placing cremation crystals As Figure 3 shown, Embodiment 3 of the present invention is a triple-layered case type urn for placing cremation crystals. The number of layers of the urn is determined to be 3 layers. The shape and structure from the outermost container to the innermost container are the outermost tower (6), the middle bowl (7), and the innermost bottle (8). Even if the shape and structure of these three layers of containers remain unchanged, if different materials are used, many types of multi-layered case type urn products can be combined. Now, only three representative combined products of Embodiment 3 of three models, namely economy type, mid-range type, and high-end type, are listed as examples: 1. Economy type: A polymer plastic injection-molded Ashoka stupa + a ceramic bowl + a glass bottle; 2. Mid-range type: A camphorwood seven-level pagoda + a gilded copper bowl + a glass bottle; 3. High-end type: A nanmu nine-level pagoda + a gold bowl + a crystal bottle.

[0027] When the urn is actually used, the innermost bottle (8) containing the ashes crystal (32) is sealed and placed in the middle bowl (7). The middle bowl (7) is placed in the lower cavity (22) of the outermost tower (6). The tower base cavity (21) and other cavities (23) in the tower can also be used to place small funeral objects, such as the deceased's hair, nails, teeth and other body relics, representative small relics and seals of the deceased's beloved during his lifetime, photos, images, sounds, life-related materials, works, last words, suicide notes and other data carriers. This tower-shaped triple treasure box urn for placing ashes crystal is generally enshrined in homes, ancestral halls or temples.

[0028] Example 4 Five-layered treasure box type urn for placing ash crystals like Figure 4 As shown, Example 4 of the present invention is a five-layer treasure box type urn for placing ashes and crystal stones. The number of layers of the urn is determined to be 5. The shape structure from the outermost container to the innermost container is the outermost box (1), the second outer box (2), the middle outer coffin (3), the second inner coffin (4), and the innermost bottle (8). Even if the shape structure of these five layers of containers remains unchanged, if different materials are used, many types of multiple treasure box type urn products can be combined. Now, only three types of representative combination products of Example 4 are listed as economical, mid-range and high-end types: 1. Economical type: bluestone box + stainless steel box + fir wood coffin + ceramic coffin + glass bottle; 2. Mid-range: marble box + silver-plated stainless steel box + cypress coffin + gold-plated copper coffin + glazed bottle; 3. High-end type: white marble box + titanium alloy box + nanmu coffin + gold coffin + crystal bottle.

[0029] When actually using the urn, the innermost bottle (8) containing the cremation crystal (32) is sealed and placed in the second innermost coffin (4). A certain gap (17) is provided between the second innermost coffin (4) and the innermost bottle (8), which can be used to place body souvenirs such as the deceased's hair, nails, teeth, and items such as seals. The sealed second innermost coffin (4) is placed in the middle coffin (3). A relatively large gap (15) is provided between the middle coffin (3) and the second innermost coffin (4), which can be used to place small representative relics beloved by the deceased during his lifetime, data carriers such as photos, videos, sounds, information related to the life story, works, last words, wills, etc., main works, manuscripts, honorary items such as awards, certificates, medals, and decorations. The gap between the bottom of the second innermost coffin (4) and the top of the bottom plate of the middle coffin (3) can also be used to place the soil (34) from the hometown, place of birth, or place where the deceased worked for a long time, which has been dried and sealed. After the second innermost coffin (4) and the funerary objects in the middle coffin (3) are placed properly, the middle coffin (3) is sealed and placed in the second outermost box (2). After the second outermost box (2) is sealed, it is placed in the outermost case (1). Usually, no relatively large gap is provided between the second outermost box (2) and the middle coffin (3) and between the outermost case (1) and the second outermost box (2), but small gaps (13) and (12) are reserved to be filled with substances related to moisture-proof, waterproof, odor-proof, and preventing the corrosion or decay of the container, which are in a liquid or gel or powder or solid state or can be transformed from a liquid state to a solid state, such as rosin, synthetic resin, etc. Finally, the upper cover (9) of the outermost case is sealed, and the multi-layered treasure case type urn can be stored at home or placed in a columbarium or cemetery.

Then, depending on whether the multi-layered treasure box-style urn is used for placing ashes or for placing processed ash products such as ash crystals, and by drawing on and referring to the relevant forms and rituals of the time-honored Chinese coffin burial culture and the treasure box culture for enshrining Buddhist relics, the design options of these combinations can be selected and discarded, and specific products of multi-layered treasure box-style urns can be produced in two major categories for placing ashes and for placing processed ash products such as ash crystals, and including numerous models and specifications.
