Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a container for preserving ashes, and particularly to an urn for preserving ashes and souvenirs. Background Art
[0002] An urn is a box for loading the ashes of the deceased, usually used for preserving or transporting ashes. With the influence of foreign cultures on traditional Chinese culture and the reform of burial methods, we have gradually used the form of urns to handle the remains of the deceased. According to the research on traditional Chinese funeral culture, "coffins" and "urns" are the forms that best reflect traditional Chinese culture. In traditional Chinese funeral culture, there are various requirements and taboos for the burial containers, such as size, format, structure, patterns, colors, and materials. Chinese coffins and urns have always been magnificent, versatile, and rich in connotations in ancient times.
[0003] The existing urns have the following disadvantages and deficiencies: 1. The format and structure are simple. Due to their simplicity, they cannot well reflect the connotations of traditional Chinese funeral culture. 2. In terms of appearance, they lack elements of traditional Chinese funeral culture, with few traditional patterns and relatively monotonous colors. 3. Urns made of wood, bamboo, or other plants are prone to problems such as insect damage and poor decay resistance during preservation. Currently, natural stones, cement, or new chemical materials are used as alternatives, which solve the problems of anti-corrosion and anti-insect, but these materials are heavy, not shock-resistant, and do not conform to traditional Chinese funeral customs. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the disadvantages and deficiencies of the existing technology and provide an urn for preserving ashes and souvenirs.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved as follows.
[0006] Specifically:
[0007] The utility model includes ashes and souvenirs;
[0008] An urn cover, an outer urn, and a partition are provided;
[0009] Their positions and connection relationships are as follows:
[0010] The urn cover and the outer urn are connected in an up-and-down movable manner to form a closed whole;
[0011] A partition is arranged inside the outer urn to form a central box and an urn chamber;
[0012] The ashes are preserved in the central box, and the souvenirs are preserved in the urn chamber.
[0013] The utility model has the following advantages and positive effects:
[0014] ①The coffin chamber is a dedicated space for souvenirs, capable of storing more souvenirs, achieving communication between the life before death and the soul, as well as showing respect from the living to the deceased.
[0015] ②Using design concepts such as Chinese traditional customs, traditional materials, traditional manufacturing, and traditional craftsmanship, it is closer to the hearts of the deceased and the living.
[0016] ③The design concept of this utility model minimizes the traces of foreign cultures and further emphasizes the characteristics of Chinese culture.
[0017] ④The entire cremation urn is wrapped in silk and, with the blessing of traditional Chinese lacquer (national lacquer), can remain intact for a thousand years.
[0018] ⑤According to the investigation, no similar design to this utility model has been found in society at present.
[0019] In short, this utility model not only stores the ashes of the deceased but also stores souvenirs, expresses respect for the deceased, satisfies people's feelings of remembrance and inheritance for the deceased, and promotes Chinese culture. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
