Abstract

Urn casing (1) for receiving an ash capsule (2) with a bottom section (3) and a side wall section (4), wherein the side wall section (4) is formed at least partially, in particular completely, by a folded material.

Description

[0001] The innovation concerns an urn casing for holding an ash capsule. Such urn casings are known in principle from the prior art. It is known that ash capsules containing the ashes of cremated humans or animals are fitted with a casing for a burial ceremony or for storage at another location, which significantly influences the visual appearance of the ash capsule.

[0002] The innovation is based on the task of specifying an urn casing which is designed to be particularly simple and cost-effective to manufacture, while at the same time exhibiting high quality, especially in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

[0003] The problem is solved by an urn casing for receiving an ash capsule according to claim 1. The dependent claims relate to possible embodiments of the urn casing and a kit for assembling an urn casing described herein.

[0004] The innovation relates to an urn casing, which can also be called an outer urn or decorative urn, designed to hold an ash capsule and comprised of a base section and a side wall section. The side wall section is formed, at least partially, and in particular entirely, from a folded material. Folding the side wall section allows for the simple and cost-effective creation of a container suitable for holding an urn. The side wall section can be formed from a sheet, preferably made of paper or cardboard, representing at least a partial, preferably predominant, and especially preferably complete, (flat) development of the final urn casing and / or its circumferential surface. By bending individual sections of this sheet, development, or circumferential surface, the desired three-dimensional shape of the urn casing can be achieved and, if necessary, fixed in place.

[0005] The base section formed from a bottom unit is, for example, connected to the side wall section formed from a side wall unit by means of a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. The side wall unit and the base unit are, for example, separate elements which are connected, in particular exclusively, by means of the force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. Thus, a different material with different material thickness (i.e., thickness), strength, stiffness, and / or foldability can be selected for the folded material forming the side wall section than for the base unit.

[0006] Alternatively, the bottom section, in particular the bottom unit, can be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and especially preferably completely, integrally with the side wall unit, in particular the side wall section, and create an additional connection during the creation of a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection between the bottom section and the side wall section. This additional connection can, for example, occur after section-by-section bending of at least a single section of the side wall section and / or the bottom section in order to maintain a predefined three-dimensional shape through the additional connection and to secure it against restoring forces. The fixing of individual sections of the arch relative to adjacent sections of the arch, or...The additional connection for holding the bent sections relative to each other can be achieved by means of a force-fit, form-fit, and / or material-fit connection; preferably, at least one connecting tab is arranged on at least one edge of a section. This is done in the course of gluing.

[0007] A connection between the base unit and the side wall unit, achieved exclusively or additionally via a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection, can be accomplished, for example, by having the side wall unit almost entirely define only the lateral and, if applicable, upper boundary of a receiving space or interior of the urn shell, while the base unit defines the underside of the interior for receiving the ash capsule. Any connecting tabs on the side wall unit, which, due to their flat design and connection with the base unit, form part of the base section, are negligible in this context, as these connecting tabs serve for connection purposes and not for defining the interior, and / or because these connecting tabs do not create any boundary of the interior beyond that provided by the base unit itself.

[0008] The urn casing, consisting of the base and side wall sections, defines an interior space designed to hold an ash capsule, also known as an urn capsule. The ash capsule is the container intended for the proper and permanent storage of the ashes, ensuring that the urn casing surrounding the ash capsule is not in direct contact with the ashes, at least initially, i.e., before the ash capsule decomposes. The urn casing can thus serve various purposes, such as aesthetically enhancing the appearance of the ash capsule, modifying its storage properties, and / or improving its handling. Finally, the urn casing, equipped with lowering devices such as lowering cords, allows for the respectful lowering of an ash capsule, even one without a lowering cord, into the grave.

[0009] The side wall section, in particular the side wall unit, consists of folded material. This preferably comprises a regular folding pattern extending over the circumferential surface and / or the lateral surface of the side wall section, formed by the creation of fold edges and fold surfaces defined by fold edges. The folding pattern can, for example, be a regular pattern over the majority, preferably over the entire, surface of the side wall section. Thus, the folding pattern can, for example, increase the surface area and / or, through the numerous fold edges and fold surfaces over a circumferential section of the side wall section, provide a better grip for grasping the urn shell containing the ash capsule, for example, by a human hand.Due to the numerous fold lines and surfaces arranged regularly or irregularly around the circumference of the side wall section, this urn shell is easier to handle, as it provides a more grippy surface. In other words, regular folding or the formation of a regular folding pattern on the side wall sections can create a visually appealing and / or easily handled surface structure that also influences the stiffness and / or strength of the urn shell.

[0010] The folding pattern arranged or formed on the side wall section can, for example, exhibit a repetitive arrangement of mountain and valley folds. It is possible that the folds have intersecting points of the fold edges (creases) that are offset from one another or lie on the same contour line.

[0011] For example, the folding pattern can have fold edges with a maximum extent and / or fold surfaces with a maximum extent of at least 5 mm, preferably at least 10 mm, particularly preferably at least 15 mm, most preferably at least 20 mm, and more preferably at least 50 mm. Alternatively or additionally, the folding pattern can have fold edges with a maximum extent and / or fold surfaces with a maximum extent of at least 500 mm, preferably at most 300 mm, particularly preferably at most 100 mm, most preferably at most 50 mm, and more preferably at most 25 mm. Here, the maximum extent refers, for example, to the longest side of a fold surface forming a triangle. The folded structure of the side wall unit or the circumferential surface of the side wall section, extending over its main extent surface, gives it a thickness, i.e.,A gap exists between an inner, interior-facing surface of the outer casing and an outer, environment-facing surface of the outer casing, each defining the maximum boundary area of ​​the folded sidewall section in relation to the exterior and interior. The thickness of this gap can be, for example, at least 0.5 mm, preferably at least 1.0 mm, particularly preferably at least 1.3 mm, and most preferably at least 1.7 mm. Alternatively or additionally, the thickness of the circumferential surface or the sidewall section forming this folded circumferential wall, as determined by the folding pattern, can be, for example, a maximum of 10.0 mm, preferably a maximum of 7.5 mm, particularly preferably a maximum of 5.0 mm, most preferably a maximum of 2.4 mm, and more preferably a maximum of 2.0 mm.

[0012] The folded material of the side wall section and / or the base section may include fold lines that are used exclusively, predominantly, or additionally to form the overall container shape of the urn shell. Thus, it is possible that the body forming the side wall section and / or the base section, e.g., an arch, has a predominantly planar or flat shape and only exhibits a shape deviating from the planar or flat form at its changes in direction or fold lines that determine the basic shape of the urn shell.

[0013] It is possible that the base section has no folds; rather, the base section can have at least a predominantly, and in particular entirely, a flat or planar shape. In other words, the base section, and specifically the area of ​​the base section that comes into contact with a flat surface for the urn casing to stand on, can form a flat bearing surface. If the base section is formed integrally with the side wall section, it can have one, and in particular a single, fold or fold edge, which forms the transition area to the side wall section.

[0014] For example, the base unit is bonded to the side wall unit using an adhesive; this bonding can form the connection of a base unit that was previously separate from the side wall unit and / or an additional connection of a base unit to the side wall unit, provided that the base unit is already connected to the side wall unit due to its one-piece design.

[0015] It is possible for the urn casing to include a supporting structure by means of which an ash capsule contained within the interior of the urn casing can be carried, particularly suspended. This supporting structure is formed at least predominantly, preferably exclusively, by the base unit, in particular by a base body of the base unit facing an interior of the urn casing, and by strap- and / or cord-like lowering devices. In other words, during its intended use, the urn casing, together with the ash capsule contained within it, can be lowered into a recess in the ground by means of the lowering devices during a burial ceremony. It is advantageous if the lowering devices are securely attached to the urn casing. The supporting structure, and thus the lowering devices and the base unit, serve as the supporting elements that make it possible to lower the urn casing with the ash capsule contained within it into a grave.The side wall section can, at least predominantly, preferably almost entirely, and most preferably completely, have no load-bearing function during the defined lowering or lowering of the urn casing, including the ash capsule, into a grave hole. By initially forming separate elements between the base unit and the side wall unit, which are connected to each other, particularly exclusively, by force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection, a functional separation can be achieved. In this case, the side wall unit, and thus the body forming the side wall of the urn casing, has no or no significant load-bearing function for supporting an ash capsule. This increases the freedom of choice regarding the material forming the side wall of the urn casing, as this material can be selected without load-bearing requirements.

[0016] For example, the folded material of the side wall section and / or the side wall unit can comprise a paper or cardboard material. The paper or cardboard used for the side wall unit and / or the bottom unit can, for example, include felt components, in particular a felt embossing. Optionally, the paper used for the side wall unit and / or the bottom unit can include straw particles and / or hemp and / or pigments and / or cotton and / or natural fibers and / or regenerated fibers and / or have such materials on the surface (e.g., by flocking). The paper used can also be made from a long-fiber material to positively influence its foldability properties. Alternatively or additionally, the paper and / or cardboard used can have a basis weight of at least 80 g / m². 2 , preferably of at least 100 g / m² 2 , particularly preferably of at least 170 g / m²2 , most preferably of at least 230 g / m² 2 , further preferably of at least 300 g / m² 2 . Optionally or additionally, paper or cardboard with a maximum basis weight of 600 g / m² can be used for the side wall unit. 2 , preferably of a maximum of 450 g / m² 2 , particularly preferably of a maximum of 400 g / m² 2 , preferably of a maximum of 360 g / m² 2 , preferably of a maximum of 320 g / m² 2The minimum and / or maximum values ​​for basis weight mentioned refer to paper or cardboard with a material thickness of 0.1 mm to 5 mm, preferably 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. For the base unit, in particular for an inner base body of the base unit, a material with a thickness of 1 mm to 5 mm can be used, for example. The material of the side wall unit can be selected to be, for example, less than 2.0 mm, preferably less than 1.25 mm, particularly preferably less than 1.0 mm, most preferably less than 0.6 mm, and further preferably less than 0.4 mm. Paper or cardboard can prove to be suitable materials for the side wall unit due to their easy foldability and good dimensional stability when folded.

[0017] The base unit and the side wall unit can, for example, be made of different materials and / or of materials with different thicknesses. Because the base unit and the side wall unit are separate components that are joined together during assembly, they can be optimized for their respective requirements.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base unit comprises an inner base body facing the interior of the urn casing and an outer base body facing away from the interior of the urn casing. For example, the outer base body and the side wall unit can be formed, at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, from the same material. Preferably, in this embodiment, the inner base body can be made of a material that differs from the material of the outer base body and the material of the side wall unit. For example, a material is selected for the inner base body that exhibits higher strength and / or higher stiffness compared to the material of the outer base body and the side wall section.Thus, it is possible for the outer base and the side wall section to have a uniform external appearance of the urn shell due to the use of the same or identical material. The load-bearing function for supporting an ash capsule can, at least predominantly, be provided by the inner base, which is made of a different material.

[0019] The side wall unit and / or the base unit can have at least one fastening tab which, in the final assembly state, is preferably arranged or formed on a fastening section of the base unit and / or the side wall unit, and forms part of the force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. The fastening tab can, for example, represent a surface section projecting beyond the main extension of the side wall unit and / or the base unit, which overlaps a fastening section of the connecting partner (base unit or base unit).

[0020] The at least one fastening tab can be attached to the side wall unit and secured at this point by adhesive. The at least one fastening tab can, for example, be arranged or formed on an edge region of a main section of the side wall unit, particularly a planar section. Preferably, the at least one fastening tab is formed integrally with at least the main section of the side wall unit and / or is made of the same material. Similarly, at least one fastening tab formed on the bottom unit can be formed integrally with a component of the bottom unit, particularly a main section of the bottom unit, and / or is made of the same material.

[0021] The base unit can, for example, comprise at least two base bodies, particularly those with a planar design, wherein an inner base body facing the receiving space of the urn casing is connected to an outer base body by force, material, and / or form-fitting means. Providing at least two base bodies makes it possible to design the properties of the base surface facing the interior of the urn casing and the outer surface of the urn casing differently. By forming a double base for the urn casing, a space created by the two base bodies allows for the reliable and / or concealed arrangement, in particular for fixing, of at least one fastening tab and / or at least one lowering device to at least one base body.

[0022] At least one section of the side wall unit, in particular a side wall unit mounting tab, can be arranged, for example, in an intermediate area between the base bodies, and in particular be fixed in place. Thus, it is possible that a side wall unit mounting tab, in particular all mounting tabs of the side wall unit for fastening a base section, are arranged and, for example, bonded in an intermediate area formed by two base bodies. The mounting tabs can be aligned parallel to the main extension planes of the base bodies.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, it may prove advantageous if at least one lowering device, in particular a ribbon- or cord-like device, is arranged at least section by section in an intermediate area formed between at least two soil bodies that constitute the base section of the urn casing. Due to the arrangement of the lowering device between the soil bodies, the lowering device does not protrude beyond a surface of the inner soil body facing the interior and / or beyond a surface of the outer soil body facing away from the interior, with the exception of the lowering device's feed to the soil unit.

[0024] It is possible that at least one lowering element, in particular a band- or cord-like element, is guided through an opening in at least one base body of the base unit, preferably through an opening in an inner base body facing the interior. The lowering element can be guided through a first opening and a second opening in the inner base body, with the lowering element being arranged or running between the two base bodies between the two openings. Alternatively, a first lowering element can run through a first opening in the inner base body and a further lowering element through a further opening in the inner base body, with the end of each lowering element facing the base area ending in the space between the base bodies and / or being fixed there.The lowering device can be concealed from below when viewed from below by an outer base body that has no openings or no openings in the area where the lowering device is located. Furthermore, a flat outer base body allows for a level surface for the section of ground used to place the urn. Optionally, a leveling material can be arranged or formed in the space between the base bodies. This material compensates for any unevenness caused by the lowering device located or formed in this space, thus enabling a more parallel alignment of the main planes of the base bodies despite the lowering device's presence in this space.

[0025] A lowering element extending from a first opening of the inner base body to a second opening of the inner base body can, for example, be arranged in an intermediate region formed between the base bodies over a length of at least one-fifth, preferably one-quarter, particularly preferably one-third, most preferably half, and more preferably two-thirds, of the length of a base body. For this purpose, at least one lowering element can penetrate the main plane of extension of a first base body through an opening of that first base body, and be guided between the two base bodies to a second opening of that first base body, such that the course of the lowering element between the two openings is concealed by the base bodies. It is possible for the lowering element to be arranged in an intermediate region between the base bodies over the entire length of the base body.For this purpose, the lowering device can be arranged not via an opening located in the main extension plane of the base body, but on a laterally located section of the sandwich structure.

[0026] The lowering element can, for example, be fixed in position relative to the base bodies. For instance, the lowering element is attached to at least one, preferably both, base body(s) by force-fit, form-fit, and / or material bonding at a portion of its section located between the two base bodies. For example, the base bodies can be bonded to each other, and this bonding can also create an adhesive connection between the section of the lowering element located between the base bodies. An adhesive, in particular the same adhesive, can be used for bonding (a) the two base bodies to each other and / or (b) the base unit and the side wall unit and / or (c) at least one base unit and the lowering element. Preferably, an adhesive is used that contains at least natural rubber as a component.

[0027] The side wall section can, for example, have openings through which sections of a lowering device, particularly a band- or cord-like one, are passed. Preferably, at least one end of the lowering device has a thickening that cannot pass through the opening. Such a thickening can, for example, be arranged at least on an area located outside the interior of the urn casing, so that accidental threading through and entering the interior of the urn casing of the free end of the lowering device is prevented. The thickening can be formed, for example, by knotting or folding over and sewing the band- or cord-like lowering device. Alternatively or additionally, the thickening can be arranged or formed by fixing a thickening element, e.g., a perforated ball, to the lowering device, particularly at one end of the lowering device.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the side wall section of the urn casing, i.e., the section of the urn casing surrounding the interior of the urn casing with the exception of the base, can have four openings through which a section of one or more lowering elements is passed. In other words, four lowering element sections of two lowering elements, in particular provided with an end thickening, can be arranged on the outside of the side wall section, with each lowering element section passing through one of the four openings in the side wall section.

[0029] It is possible for two lowering devices, particularly those resembling ribbons or cords, to be arranged crosswise or parallel within or along the base section. For this purpose, the lowering devices can pass through four openings in the inner base body, with the lowering devices running in the space between the base bodies either intersecting or non-intersecting, and in particular parallel. For example, two lowering devices, particularly flexible ones, can be arranged crosswise or non-intersecting between openings of a base section of the urn casing, with the four openings arranged or designed such that they form the corners of a rectangle, in particular a square.

[0030] In the area of ​​an opening section of the urn casing, a lashing device can be arranged or formed to facilitate the insertion of an ash capsule into the interior formed by the urn casing. Preferably, the lashing device is designed as a pull cord, which is passed through openings formed in the area of ​​the opening section of the urn casing. The lashing device can be, for example, a thread or a thread-like element which, by tightening or contracting the lashing device relative to the openings, causes a change in shape or a contraction of at least the opening section of the urn casing. In other words, after movement of, for example, a thread-like lashing device relative to the opening, the lashing device can be fixed in this new relative position, e.g., by knotting it, thus fixing the degree of opening of the opening section of the urn casing.This can serve to at least partially, preferably predominantly, and especially preferably completely close the opening section of the urn casing; typically, by closing the urn casing at least partially after receiving the ash capsule, the ash capsule can be reliably kept inside.

[0031] Optionally, a lowering device can be used to lower an urn casing containing an ash capsule. This lowering device can be made of a biodegradable material and / or cotton. Consequently, after the urn casing and ash capsule have been buried, the lowering device can remain in the grave and decompose naturally. For example, the lowering device can be in the form of a cord or rope. Recycled materials can also be used to manufacture the lowering device. Twisted fiber material, particularly twisted cotton, can be used as the material for the lowering device. If the lowering device is cord- or rope-like, it can have a thickness or diameter of 0.5 mm to 7.5 mm, preferably 1.0 mm to 3.5 mm, and most preferably 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

[0032] The side wall section and / or the bottom section can, for example, be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, from a water-soluble material, especially water-soluble paper or cardboard. Preferably, at least the main component of the side wall section and / or at least one part of the bottom section is formed from a water-soluble material.

[0033] For example, Finnish cardboard is used as the material for at least one of the base sections. This material is suitable for forming folded sections and possesses sufficient rigidity for carrying by manually grasping the surface of the urn. Furthermore, the use of Finnish cardboard allows for rapid biological decomposition of the base section when buried. Finally, Finnish cardboard can be used that exhibits sufficiently rapid decomposition in contact with water for burial at sea. Finnish cardboard, also known as Skanboard, is a material characterized by a high volume but low specific gravity. The thickness of the material forming the side wall section and / or the base section can be, for example, at least 0.5 mm, preferably at least 1.0 mm, particularly preferably at least 1.5 mm, and most preferably at least 2.0 mm.Alternatively or additionally, the thickness of the material forming the side wall section and / or the bottom section can be a maximum of 10 mm, preferably a maximum of 8 mm, particularly preferably a maximum of 5 mm, most preferably a maximum of 3.0 mm, and more preferably a maximum of 2.5 mm. The optionally used Finnish cardboard, for example, can have a basis weight of 400 g / m² with a material thickness of 1 mm. 2 up to 1150 g / m² 2 preferably 650 g / m² 2 up to 1050 g / m² 2 , especially preferably 750 g / m² 2 up to 950 g / m² 2 , preferably 800 g / m² 2 up to 900 g / m² 2 exhibit.

[0034] The side wall section, in particular the side wall unit, and / or the bottom section can, for example, consist at least partially, preferably predominantly, and especially preferably entirely, of a material that is formed from or contains, in particular resource-conserving, natural fibers and / or regenerated fibers and / or materials such as grass and / or hemp and / or cotton and / or straw and / or beer mash and / or hemp and / or cotton. Natural fibers are understood here to mean all fibers that originate from natural sources such as plants, animals, or minerals and can be used directly without further chemical conversion reactions. They are thus to be distinguished from chemical fibers, which are synthetically produced. Natural fibers can be of organic (plant or animal) or inorganic (mineral) origin. Regenerated fibers can be understood to mean a material that is based on cellulose from renewable raw materials (e.g.,Viscose made from wood or bamboo). Also, especially short wood fibers, should be understood here as regenerated fibers.

[0035] It is possible that the base section formed from a base unit is at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, formed integrally with the side wall section. Thus, the base section can be designed as a component of the side wall section, whereby a three-dimensional target shape of the urn shell can be achieved after folding and / or bending the base section relative to the side wall section. In this case, the circumferential surface of the urn shell in its final assembly state can be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, by a single-piece base and side wall section or by a single-piece, e.g., material-uniform, base and side wall unit.

[0036] The base section of the urn casing can, for example, have a first base body facing an interior of the urn casing and at least a second base body facing away from the interior of the urn casing, wherein (a) the first base body is formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably completely, as a separate element from the side wall unit forming the side wall of the urn casing and is connected to the side wall unit via a force-fit and / or material-fit and / or form-fit connection and / or (b) the second base body is formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably completely, as an integral part of the side wall unit forming the side wall of the urn casing.

[0037] The side wall section can, for example, have at least one, and in particular only one, opening section present in the final assembly state of the urn casing, (a) which is not arranged or formed in or on a vertical axis of the urn casing in its final assembly state and / or (b) which is arranged or formed, in particular only, on a side region and / or circumferential region of the urn casing (1) in its final assembly state. This opening section can serve to introduce an ash capsule into the interior formed by the urn casing. For this purpose, the ash capsule to be received into the interior of the urn casing can be fed in at least one movement component in a direction extending laterally to the urn casing.In other words, the ash capsule is inserted into the interior of the urn in a direction that is at least partially perpendicular to the vertical axis of the urn, which is standing on a horizontal plane. The insertion of the ash capsule into the interior of the urn can, for example, be a purely linear movement. Alternatively, the insertion of the urn into the interior of the urn can be a movement that includes both rotational and linear components. For example, the urn can be inserted into the interior of the urn by performing a rotating motion through the opening.

[0038] The urn casing can, for example, comprise at least one closure element (a) that can be connected to the side wall unit, at least temporarily, by means of a force-fit and / or form-fit connection, in particular by a plug-in connection, to close an opening section of the urn casing (for inserting an ash capsule into the interior of the urn casing), and / or (b) that is formed integrally with the side wall unit. A defined pivoting movement of the at least one closure element relative to other areas of the side wall unit can be performed via a hinge section, in particular a straight one. The hinge section is, for example, configured such that the two adjacent sections of the side wall unit can be pivoted repeatedly relative to each other without damage to open and close the opening section. In this context, a closure element can form a component of the side wall unit.In other words, the locking element can be designed as a door element that temporarily releases the opening section and temporarily closes the opening section, at least partially.

[0039] The side wall unit can, for example, have an opening section arranged or formed laterally to a vertical axis of the urn casing in its final assembly state, or on a lateral surface of the urn casing, which is, in particular, exclusively located in and defines a first height region of the urn casing, wherein the urn casing forms a ring structure in a second height region, different from the first height region, which is closed in cross-section (i.e., perpendicular to the vertical axis of the urn casing, once it has been brought into its target geometry and is finally assembled), and preferably cannot be opened. The second height region of the urn casing thus forms a closed and therefore also stiffening ring structure of the urn casing, so that despite a lateral opening section or...Despite the temporary opening of the lateral section, particularly the one located around the circumference of the urn casing, a minimum stability of the urn casing's shape is ensured when the closing element is swung open or removed. In other words, the second height section forms a trough or a stiffening structure that provides the entire urn casing with a minimum level of stability.

[0040] It is possible that the first height section comprising the opening section has a height along the vertical axis of the urn casing (a) of at least 20%, preferably at least 35%, particularly preferably at least 50%, most preferably at least 60%, further preferably at least 65% of the total height of the urn casing (1) and / or (b) of a maximum of 95%, preferably at most 90%, particularly preferably at most 80%, most preferably at most 70% of the total height of the urn casing. For example, the height of the first height section comprising the opening section of the urn casing and / or the height of the opening section along the vertical axis of the urn casing in its final assembly state is in the range of 20% to 95%, preferably in the range of 35% to 90%, particularly preferably in the range of 50% to 80%, most preferably in the range of 60% to 70% of the total height of the urn casing along its vertical axis.The missing value of the first height section, which is 100% of the total height of the urn shell, can be compensated for, for example, by a second height section of the urn shell that does not have an opening section and preferably forms a non-openable, and in particular a closed, ring structure in the cross-section of the urn shell.

[0041] The urn casing, preferably the side wall section and / or the bottom section, can, for example, consist at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely, of a material containing an alga and / or a seagrass as a component, or be formed from at least one type of alga and / or at least one type of seagrass. For example, the alga used is at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably exclusively, a so-called macroalga or seaweed.

[0042] In addition to the urn casing for an ash capsule, the innovation also includes a kit for assembling the urn casing described herein. The kit may stipulate that at least the connection between the base unit and the side wall unit is carried out at a location other than the factory. Furthermore, the lowering mechanism may be inserted through an opening in the base unit and / or fixed to at least one base unit, for example, by gluing, by a person assembling the kit to build the urn casing. A kit is a collection of individual components—namely, the side wall unit, base unit, and lowering mechanism—designed to allow assembly of the urn casing by someone not affiliated with the manufacturer. The kit is designed to be assembled even by someone without formal training and possessing average manual skills.For this purpose, individual or all elements of the kit to be assembled may have markings that indicate an orientation for connection partners and / or instructions regarding the sequence and / or actions to be performed by a person assembling the kit.

[0043] The production of the folded side wall unit can be done, for example, manually by hand or by a creasing plotter, in particular a flatbed cutting plotter, or by die-cutting.

[0044] All advantages, details, designs and / or features of the innovative urn casing are also transferable or applicable to the innovative kit for constructing an urn casing described herein, and vice versa.

[0045] The innovation is explained in more detail using examples in the drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of an urn shell containing an ash capsule in its interior according to an exemplary embodiment; Fig. 2 a schematic representation of an urn shell with an exemplary, concretely illustrated folded surface pattern of the side wall section; Fig. 3 a schematic representation on the underside of an inner floor body, wherein two lowering means each extend from a first to a second opening of the inner floor body, according to an embodiment; Fig. 4 a schematic front view of a second exemplary embodiment of an urn shell; Fig. 5 a schematic side view from the left of an urn shell according to Fig. 4; Fig. 6 a schematic rear view of an urn shell according to Fig. 4; Fig. 7 a schematic underside view of an urn shell according to Fig. 4; Fig. 8 a schematic top view of an urn shell according to Fig. 4; Fig. 9 a schematic rear view of an urn shell opened across its opening section according to Fig. 4 with an empty interior; Fig. 10 a schematic rear view of an urn shell according to Fig. 9 with an ash capsule partially contained within the interior of the urn shell; Fig. 11 a schematic representation of a development or of an arc lying in a flat surface, which in the final assembly state forms an urn shell according to Fig. 4 forms.

[0046] The Fig. Figure 1 shows an exemplary urn casing 1 for receiving an ash capsule 2 with a bottom section 3 and a side wall section 4, wherein the side wall section 4 is formed at least partially, in particular completely, by a folded material, cf. Fig. 2. The exemplary folding of the side wall section 4 shown here represents a multi-surface folding pattern, which, on the one hand, enhances the visual appearance of the urn shell 1 and, on the other hand, increases the surface area, thereby improving the tactile feel and ease of gripping and holding the urn shell 1 in one hand. The base section 3 is formed by a base unit 5, and the side wall section 4 by a side wall unit 6. The base unit 5 and the side wall unit 6 are separate components which are connected to each other, in particular exclusively, by a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection 7. In other words, the initially separate components of the side wall unit 6 and the base unit 5 are fastened by a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection.

[0047] As in Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the side wall unit 6 can, for example, form a tubular or pipe-like shell, wherein the lower opening of this tubular or pipe-like shell is limited downwards and thus closed by the bottom unit 5.

[0048] The urn casing 1 can, for example, comprise a support structure 8 by means of which an ash capsule 2, contained in the interior 9 of the urn casing 1, can be carried, in particular suspended, wherein the support structure 8 is formed at least predominantly, preferably exclusively, by the base unit 5 and band- and / or cord-like lowering means 10. The support structure 8 can be formed by the base unit 5 and the lowering means 10 and thus by elements of the urn casing 1 which do not contribute, or only contribute to a small extent (e.g., less than 20% of the surface), to the lateral boundary and thus to the overall visual impression and / or to the advantageous, in particular manual, gripping of the urn casing 1 on its outer surface.Consequently, it is thus possible to optimize the elements that are predominantly, preferably almost exclusively, or particularly preferably exclusively effective for the load-bearing function for this application purpose, without being impaired by requirements, or with only minor consideration of requirements arising from the folded, visually visible aspects intended for manual gripping, in particular the side wall section 4. Fig. 2 the supporting structure 8 formed from the lowering means 10 and the ground unit 5 is recognizable.

[0049] The folded material of the side wall section4 can, for example, consist of or comprise a paper or cardboard material.

[0050] The base unit 5 and the side wall unit 6 can, for example, be made of different materials and / or of a material with a different thickness. This can be easily achieved because the base unit 5 and the side wall unit 6 are separate components and are joined together during manufacturing or assembly.

[0051] The side wall unit 6 and / or the base unit 5 can, for example, have at least one fastening tab 11 which, in the final assembly state, preferably over a flat surface, abuts a fastening section 12 of the base unit 5 and / or the side wall unit 6 and forms part of the force-fit and / or material-fit and / or form-fit connection 7. According to the Fig. In the schematically illustrated embodiment shown in Figure 1, the side wall unit 6 has fastening tabs 11 at its end corresponding to the base unit 5, which include a fold so that the fastening tab 11 can be placed against the base unit 5 and fixed, for example, by means of an adhesive (see connection 7). In the embodiment shown in Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the fastening tab 11 on the side wall unit forms the area that contacts the urn casing 1 when it is placed on a surface. Alternatively, the fastening tab 11 can also be arranged and fixed between the two base bodies 13, 14, as shown schematically in Figure 1. Fig. 2 shown.

[0052] The base unit 5 can, for example, comprise at least two base bodies 13, 14, in particular planar ones, wherein an inner base body 13 facing the interior 9 of the urn casing 1 is connected to an outer base body 14 by means of a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. In other words, the base unit 5, provided it comprises at least two base bodies 13, 14, can be designed such that a base body 13 facing the interior 9 forms an inner base body 13 and a base body 14 facing away from the interior 9 or towards a mounting surface forms an outer base body 14.

[0053] At least one section of the side wall unit 6, in particular a side wall unit mounting tab 11, can be arranged, for example, in an intermediate area 15 located between the base bodies 13, 14, in particular fixed, cf. Fig. 2. If the fastening tab 11, in particular all fastening tabs 11 for forming the connection 7 between the base unit 5 and the side wall unit 6, are arranged in the space or intermediate area 15 between the base bodies 13, 14, the fastening tabs 11 cannot be viewed either from above into the interior 9 and thus of the inner base body 13, nor from below of the base unit 5 and thus of the outer base body 14, cf. Fig. 2. Furthermore, this offers the advantage that contact between the urn shell 1 and a surface is made exclusively through the outer base body 14, so that the design, e.g. a flat surface and / or the provision of a non-slip surface or a surface with a high coefficient of friction, ensures a secure stand for the urn shell.

[0054] It is possible that at least one lowering device 10, in particular a band- or cord-like device, is arranged at least sectionally in an intermediate area 15 formed between the soil bodies 13, 14. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the lowering means 10 can be guided through an opening 16, 16' of at least one base body 13, 14 of the base unit 5, preferably through an opening 16, 16' of an inner base body 13 facing the interior 9. In the overall view of the Fig. Figures 1 to 3 show that the lowering element 10 penetrates the inner base body 13 through a first opening 16, and a section of the lowering element 10 extends parallel to the main extension plane of the inner base body 13. Finally, the lowering element 10 penetrates the inner base body 13 again through a further opening 16'. In other words, the lowering element 10 can be threaded through several openings 16, 16' of the inner base body 13, so that when the lowering element 10 is lifted, it can be raised due to the section located below the inner base body 13. Alternatively, the lowering element 10 can be fixed to the base unit with its ends facing the base unit, or it can penetrate openings 16, 16' on the inner base body and then be fixed to the inner base body 13.

[0055] The side wall section 4 can, for example, have openings 17 through which sections of a lowering element 10, in particular a band- or cord-like element, are passed. Preferably, at least one end of a lowering element 10 can have a thickening 18 that cannot pass through the opening 17. This ensures that the lowering elements 10 are arranged at least partially, preferably predominantly, in the interior 9 of the urn casing and penetrate or are led outwards at an upper half or half facing the opening section 19, preferably a quarter, particularly preferably a fifth, of the side wall section 4.

[0056] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 3, it can optionally be provided that two lowering means 10, in particular band- or cord-like, are arranged crosswise in or on the bottom section 3. For this purpose, a first lowering means 10 is guided from a first opening 16 of the bottom body 13, 14 to a further opening 16' of the bottom body 13, 14, wherein a further lowering means runs from a third opening of the bottom body 13 to a fourth opening of the bottom body 13, 14. Preferably, this is the inner bottom body 13, so that the illustration according to Fig. Figure 3 shows a view of the surface of the inner floor body 13 facing the outer floor body 14. Alternatively, in the case of a single floor body 13, the Fig. Figure 3 shows a view from below of this base body 13. Preferably, the intersecting longitudinal axes of the sections of the lowering means 10 running parallel to the base body 13 enclose an angle α of 30° to 150°, preferably 40° to 140°, particularly preferably 45° to 135°, most preferably 75° to 105°, and further preferably 85° to 95°. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the two sections of the lowering means 10 running parallel to the base bodies 13, 14 enclose an angle α of 90°.

[0057] In the area of ​​an opening section 19 of the urn casing 1, a lashing device 20 can be arranged, for example, for inserting an ash capsule 2 into the interior space 9 formed by the urn casing 1. Preferably, the lashing device 20 is designed as a pull cord, which is passed through feedthrough openings 21 formed in the area of ​​the opening section 19 of the urn casing 1. The lashing device 20 can be temporarily fixed, for example, by knotting or forming a loop, or by using a clamping device, e.g., a cord stopper. This at least temporary fixing allows a gathered or pulled-down state of the lashing device and the section of the side wall forming the opening section 19 to be fixed or locked. In an optional embodiment, the lashing device 20 can be guided at least partially, and in particular completely, through the same openings in the side wall section 4 as the lowering device 10.

[0058] The side wall section 4 and / or the bottom section 3 can, for example, be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, particularly preferably completely, from a water-soluble material, in particular from a water-soluble paper or a water-soluble cardboard.

[0059] The side wall section 4 and / or the bottom section 3 can, for example, consist at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably entirely, of a material that is formed from or contains as a component, in particular resource-conserving, natural fibers and / or regenerated fibers and / or such as grass and / or hemp and / or cotton and / or straw and / or beer mash and / or hemp and / or cotton. Optionally, the material used for the side wall section and / or for at least one component of the bottom unit can have a velvety surface; for example, a flocked velvet can be applied by flocking, imitating real velvet, as short fiber flakes onto a base fabric.

[0060] Finally, the urn casing described herein can be designed or configured as a kit for assembly. Preferably, the steps to be performed by an assembly person include at least connecting, in particular gluing, the base unit 5 and the side wall unit 6 and / or threading a lowering element 10 through openings in a base body 13, 14. The kit may also include the fixing of a lowering element 10 to a base body 13, 14. Optionally, the lowering element 10 and / or the base unit 5 and / or the side wall unit 6 may include markings indicating the target position of connecting partners. A marking may also indicate a target alignment and / or a target position of two elements of the urn casing 1, e.g., the averaging of a lowering element relative to a base unit 5.In particular, such markings enable even those without technical training or of average manual skill to carry out the initial or occasional assembly of the urn casing 1.

[0061] In the Fig. Figures 4 to 11 show an exemplary urn casing 1, the side wall section 4 or its side wall unit 6 and the bottom section 3 or its bottom unit 5 of which are formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely, from a single-piece planar element (sheet 22), e.g., a sheet of paper, cardboard, or card stock. This sheet 22 is transformed into a three-dimensional body by bending and, if necessary, fixing. In other words, the bottom section 3 formed from a bottom unit 5 is formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely, integrally with the side wall section 4.

[0062] For example, it is possible that a predominant proportion, preferably at least 80%, particularly preferably at least 90%, most preferably 100%, of the circumferential surface of the urn casing 1 is formed from a single-piece sheet 22. Starting from a flat initial shape, in particular a planar one, sections of the sheet 22, after being bent, form a three-dimensional shape of the urn casing 1. Thus, the circumferential shape or the outer shape of the urn casing 1 can, for example, be formed exclusively from a single-piece sheet 22.

[0063] The base section 3 of the urn casing 1 can, for example, comprise a first base body 13 facing an interior space 9 of the urn casing 1 and a second base body 14 facing away from the interior space 9 of the urn casing 1. The first base body 13 can, for example, be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely, as a separate element (not shown) from the side wall unit 6 forming the side wall of the urn casing 1 and be connected to the side wall unit 6 by a force-fit, material-fit, and / or form-fit connection. Alternatively or additionally, the second (i.e., outer) base body 14 can be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely, integrally with the side wall unit 6 forming the side wall of the urn casing 1.The advantage here is that the material of the side wall is identical to the material of the externally visible base body 14. For example, the outer base body 14 can serve an aesthetic function for a more pleasing appearance, while the inner base body 13 can fulfill a stability function or be optimized accordingly. The inner base body 13, which is not visible from the outside, can preferably have a higher stiffness and / or strength than the outer base body 14. The inner base body 13 can, for example, be connected to the outer base body 14 by a force-fit, form-fit, and / or material-fit connection, in particular by bonding.

[0064] For example, the side wall section 4 of the urn casing 1 in its final assembly state has an opening section 19, in particular only a single opening section 19 (cf. Fig. 10), which (a) is not arranged or formed in or on a vertical axis 23 of the urn casing 1 in its final assembly state and / or which (b) is arranged or formed on a side region 24 of the urn casing 1 in its final assembly state, As in the Fig. 10 and Fig. As shown in Figure 11, an ash capsule 2 is inserted into the interior 9 of the urn shell via the opening section 19. It may be necessary for the ash capsule 2 to perform a rotational movement, at least in phases, for example, to thread itself through the opening section 19 into the interior 9.

[0065] It is possible that at least one closure element 29 is provided, (a) which can be connected to the side wall unit 6 at least temporarily for closing an opening section 19 of the urn shell by means of a force-fit and / or form-fit connection, in particular by means of a plug-in connection (not shown), and / or (b) which is formed integrally with the side wall unit 6 and performs a defined pivoting movement of the at least one closure element 29, 29' relative to other areas of the side wall unit 6 via a hinge section 25, 25', in particular a straight one, cf. Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. The hinge section 25, 25' defines at least one closure element 29, 29' and thus at least one door element of the side wall section 4 and / or the bottom section 3, which is used for temporarily or permanently closing an opening section 19 of the urn casing 1 provided for the insertion of an ash capsule 2. The two closure elements 25, 25', in particular the two door elements, can be arranged adjacent to each other and define a common opening, whereby a dividing line 33 can separate the two closure elements 29, 29' and form the origin of the opening resulting from opening the closure elements 25, 25'. At least one closure element 29, 29' is pivotably connected via the at least one hinge section 25, 25' to the remaining section(s) 3, 4 forming the bottom and / or the side wall and / or the top (top section 26) of the urn. The hinge section 25, 25' can, for example,It should be designed as a preferably straight, predetermined bending area, e.g. as a fold.

[0066] The opening section 19 can be located at the point facing a higher height, particularly the highest height, in the case of an urn casing 1 that does not have a constant height in its final assembly state. This allows for a maximally large opening section 19 for inserting the ash capsule 2. If the opening section 19 can be closed by at least two closing elements 29, 29', these at least two closing elements 29, 29' can have different surfaces and / or shapes. For example, Fig. 9 can be seen that the first locking element 29 has a greater height and / or area than the second locking element 29'.

[0067] The side wall unit 6 can, for example, have an opening section 19 arranged or formed laterally to a vertical axis 23 of the urn shell 1 in its final assembly state, which is placed in a first height region 27 of the urn shell 1 and in particular defines this, wherein the urn shell 1 forms a ring structure 34 with a closed cross-section, and preferably not openable, in a second height region 28, which differs from the first height region 27, cf. Fig. 9.

[0068] The first height section 27, comprising the opening section 19, can have a height 30 along the vertical axis 23 of the urn casing 1 in its final assembly state of (a) at least 20%, preferably at least 35%, particularly preferably at least 50%, most preferably at least 60%, further preferably at least 65% of the total height 31 of the urn casing 1 and / or (b) a maximum of 95%, preferably at most 90%, particularly preferably at most 80%, most preferably at most 70% of the total height 31 of the urn casing 1. Alternatively or additionally, the height 32 of the second height section 28, which does not have an opening section 19, can be a maximum of 75%, preferably at most 50%, particularly preferably at most 35%, most preferably at most 25%, further preferably at most 20% of the total height 31 of the urn casing 1 along the vertical axis 23.This means, for example, that the section forming a closed ring structure 34 of the urn shell 1 can have a minimum height 32 relative to the total height 31 or to the opening section 19 of the urn shell 1, thus giving the urn shell 1 a minimum stability.

[0069] The side wall section 4, in particular the side wall unit 6, and / or the bottom section 3 can, for example, consist at least partially, preferably predominantly, and especially preferably completely of a material containing algae and / or seagrass as a component, or be formed from algae and / or seagrass; in particular, a macroalga or large alga or seaweed is used as the alga.

[0070] As in the Fig. As can be seen in the development shown in Figure 11, the height section comprising the opening section 19, or the side wall section forming this height section, can be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably exclusively, from quadrilaterals. Alternatively or additionally, the area of ​​the urn casing forming the ring structure 34, in particular the side wall section 4, can be formed at least partially, preferably predominantly, and particularly preferably completely, from triangular surface elements. The edge-side plug-in and / or adhesive tabs are not to be considered in this analysis. The structure of the second height section 28, which forms a closed ring, formed from triangular surfaces, further increases its stability. The base and / or the lid (top section 26) of the urn casing 1 can have an n-sided, in particular a pentagonal or hexagonal, shape.

[0071] The base of the urn casing can form an angle with the upper surface section 26 of the urn casing 1, which borders the urn casing on its upper side; preferably this angle is between 5° and 45°, particularly preferably between 10° and 35°. The deeper area of ​​the side of the upper surface section 26 facing the interior 9 can, for example, be adapted to the size of an ash capsule 2 and contact it when inserted into the interior 9.

[0072] This inclined position of the upper section 26 of the urn casing 1 allows a space 36 to be created in the interior 9, even when an ash capsule 2 is inserted – which typically has a parallel base and lid – into which something can be inserted or placed. For example, documents and / or keepsakes and / or lowering cords and / or flower stems can be placed in the space 36. For example, openings (not shown) are formed on an upper section 26 of the urn casing 1 through which flower stems can be inserted, so that the stems of these flowers can be placed in the space 36.

[0073] For example, the base (base body 14), the surface of the mantle (first and second height areas 27, 28 of the urn shell 1 or of the side wall section 4) and the upper boundary of the urn shell 1 (upper section 26) can be formed, for example, as a single component of the arch 22, cf. Fig.11. At the contact points and / or in the area of ​​the separating edge 33 of the at least one closure element 29, 29', at least one locking tab 35 can be arranged, for example, which engages in a corresponding recess (not shown) of an edge region of the urn casing 1 defining the opening section 19 and / or in a corresponding recess of another closure element 29, 29', in particular of the side wall section 4, or vice versa. A positive-locking and / or force-locking connection can be achieved by means of the locking tab 35, which, for example, prevents a closed closure element 29, 29' from opening.
