Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a urn that can hold various objects, and is applicable to a cremation urn that can hold ashes or bones, for example. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a memorial object that combines a relic storage section and a shaped object, and Patent Document 2 discloses a pet memorial urn that can be used to store remains and personal belongings. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a Buddhist altar accessory that combines a bowl-shaped bell with a spherical container for storing ashes. Even though these were combined with a storage compartment for ashes or other items, a sculpture, or a bell, they could not be used as bells as they were, and the sound they produced when struck was weak.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3217283 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3160028 [Patent Document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3208528 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To provide a bell that combines a container capable of storing various objects with a bell, has the function of a bell, and has a long reverberation and an excellent sound. We also aim to provide cremation urns that can be used to hold bones or ashes and are suitable for keeping at home. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The phosphorus of the present invention comprises a storage section and a phosphorus section connected to the top of the storage section by a connecting member, and a gap section is formed between the phosphorus section and the storage section except for the section connected by the connecting member, and the phosphorus section has a phosphorus main body section with an open top.

[0006] Here, the bell is one of the Buddhist implements and is sometimes called "orin," "suzu," or "wa." They are generally used when praying at Buddhist altars, and those that have a clear tone and a long-lasting sound when struck with a bell stick are preferred. Various types of bell shapes have been proposed, but in the case of bells with an open top, the sound is produced by the resonance of the opening, and the vibration on the bottom side is not very large. Therefore, in the present invention, the bell part is connected to the storage part at the bottom side with a connecting member, and a gap is provided between the bell part and the storage part except for the connection with this connecting member, so that the sound of the bell is not suppressed.

[0007] In the present invention, it is preferable that the storage section has a storage body section forming a storage chamber and a lid section closing an opening of the storage body section, and that the lid section and the storage section are connected by a connecting member. In this way, the bowl portion and the lid portion become one unit, and various items can be placed in the main storage portion by removing the lid portion.

[0008] In the present invention, the storage section may be formed in a two-stage shape in which the outer diameter of the storage main body section is larger than the outer diameter of the lid section, and the storage main body section may have a base section and a cylindrical side wall section, and may be formed in a three-stage shape by attaching an intermediate member to the outer periphery of the cylindrical side wall section. In this way, the bowl portion and the container portion appear to be integrated from the outside in terms of design, and the container portion functions as a base for the bowl portion.

[0009] In the present invention, various items can be stored in the storage section, but by using it as a container for ashes or bones, it becomes possible to hold a memorial service for the original owner. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The phosphorus according to the present invention allows the phosphorus part and the container part to be integrated in design, and is excellent in functionality as a phosphorus. It can also be used as a crematorium. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] 1A and 1B show an example of the configuration of a phosphorus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, where FIG. 1A is an external view and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view. [Figure 2] An example of placing a phosphorus rod inside the phosphorus part is shown. [Figure 3] 1 shows a configuration example of Example 2 of a phosphorus according to the present invention, where (a) shows the appearance and (b) shows a cross-sectional view. [Figure 4] 1 shows a configuration example of Example 3 of the phosphorus according to the present invention, where (a) shows the appearance and (b) shows a cross-sectional view. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Examples of the configuration of the phosphorus and phosphorus containing ashes according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0013] FIG. 1 shows an example of a first embodiment in which the housing section is configured in a three-stage shape. Figure 1(a) shows the exterior and Figure 1(b) shows a cross-sectional view, showing an example of a rotating body shape centered on a central axis in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 1(a), a bell section 10 and a storage section 20 are arranged below the bell section 10, and are integrated into the exterior design. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the bell part 10 has a bowl-shaped bell body 11 with an open top and a connecting member 12 for connecting it to the container side. The shape of the bell body is not limited to this bowl shape, but it is preferable that it has an opening on the upper side. In the case of a phosphorus body with an open top side, when the bottom side is connected to the container part, there is little effect on the vibration of the phosphorus body. In the present invention, the purpose of the connecting member 12 is to connect the housing portion 20 side and the periphery thereof so as to form a gap portion 13, and there are no limitations on the structure thereof. In this embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 2, a recess 31 is formed on the bottom side of the phosphorus rod 30, and the upper shape of the connecting member 12 is a conical protrusion 12b, and the connecting portion 12a is formed into a male thread shape so that it can be screwed into a female thread portion provided on the storage portion side 20. The connecting structure may be welded or glued, but a screwed structure makes it possible to remove the parts.

[0014] The storage section 20 in the first embodiment is an example of a three-stage structure made up of a lid section 22, an intermediate member 23, and a storage body section 21. The housing main body 21 has a base 21a and a cylindrical side wall 21b extending from the base 21a, with a housing chamber 21c formed as a space inside. A substantially ring-shaped intermediate member 23 is attached to this cylindrical side wall portion 21b, and a lid portion 22 is screwed onto the upper side of this side wall portion 21b by a female thread portion 22b. The outer diameter of the intermediate member 23 is larger than the outer diameter of the lid portion 22, and the outer diameter of the base portion 21a of the storage main body portion 21 is larger than the outer diameter of this intermediate member 23, resulting in an example of a three-tiered shape in which the outer diameters of the lower portions increase sequentially. The top surface of the lid portion 22 is a recessed portion 22c that corresponds to the protruding shape on the bottom surface side of the phosphorus body portion 11, and a predetermined gap portion 13 is formed in addition to the connecting portion formed by the connecting member 12. The phosphorus portion 10 and the container portion 20 may be made of the same material, but the phosphorus portion is preferably made of metal, and various materials can be used for the container portion.

[0015] FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment in which the storage section 20 has a two-stage structure. In Example 2, no intermediate member is provided on the upper side of the side wall portion 21b of the storage main body portion 21, and the internal thread portion 22b provided on the lid portion 22 is screwed to the external thread portion 21d provided on the upper outer periphery of the side wall portion 21b. FIG. 4 shows Example 3, in which the thickness of lid portion 22 is reduced, and storage body portion 21 is formed in an inverted truncated cone shape with the outer diameter of the lower side smaller than that of the upper side. Internal thread portion 121d is formed on the inside of the upper part of storage chamber 21c, and is screwed to external thread portion 122b on lid portion 22. Even when the storage section 20 has a two-stage structure as shown in the second and third embodiments, various design shapes can be adopted. [Explanation of symbols]
