Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] (Cross-reference to related applications)

[0002] This application claims priority from a Taiwanese patent application bearing application number 113123384 and entitled "A method and equipment for a genuine environmentally friendly natural burial," filed with the Taiwan Patent Office on June 24, 2024, the entire text of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of funeral products, and in particular to marine burial coffin systems. [Background technology]

[0004] Cremation is currently a well-known burial method. After cremation, many families purchase a cemetery and bury the ashes there. However, as the demand for land increases and land prices rise, the cost of cremation also increases. This not only increases people's burden, but also creates problems of occupying land and resources. On the other hand, sea burial can effectively solve the problem of land and resource waste associated with cremation.

[0005] However, current sea burials involve scattering human ashes into the ocean. Traditionally, ashes cannot be dispersed by the wind like sand or soil, so this method is difficult for people to accept. Furthermore, as cities modernize, land resources become increasingly scarce, and a burial method that does not occupy land resources is imminent. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a coffin system for sea burial that can accommodate the deceased, transport the deceased to a specific location on the bottom of the water or sea, and disintegrate the body of the deceased, thereby effectively reducing the burden of conventional burials. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The sea burial coffin system comprises a mounting device and a coffin with an openwork lattice structure, the mounting device including a mourning area. At least one of a positioning mechanism and a media mechanism is attached to the mounting device. The media mechanism and the coffin are both detachably attached to the mounting device. The coffin is used to contain the deceased, and the mounting device is used to carry the deceased's relatives. The sea burial coffin system uses GPS satellite positioning to guide the deceased's relatives to the designated sea burial coordinates, after which the deceased's relatives mourn the deceased in the mourning area. During the mourning, the media mechanism is activated to remember the deceased. After the mourning is completed, the coffin detaches from the mounting device and sinks to the bottom of the water, realizing the sea or deep-sea burial of the deceased.

[0008] The coffin is made by pressing sheet metal bending to form an openwork lattice structure, or by bending and weaving it into a lattice structure. The openwork lattice structure and lifting mechanism allow large and small fish to enter the coffin, and over time, the deceased and the coffin will be completely decomposed by organisms on the seabed.

[0009] Furthermore, two types of exhaust mechanisms, namely an exhaust blade and an exhaust pipe, are provided for the deceased, which expel gas from the deceased's body and allow seawater to flow into the deceased's body. By dehydrating and decomposing the cells of intestinal bacteria through osmotic pressure, it becomes easier for microorganisms and living organisms on the seabed to decompose and digest the body of the deceased, effectively solving the problem of corpse swelling.

[0010] Furthermore, the loading device is provided with an attachment rod and two types of transport mechanisms, namely a transport tube and a transport member, which are used to transport the coffin from the loading device into the water stably and safely. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] Compared to traditional burial or cremation, our water burial is not only environmentally friendly but also reduces waste of land resources. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described below are only some of the embodiments of the present application and do not cover all the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without requiring creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0014] [Example 1] As shown in Figure 1, the present invention provides an environmentally friendly sea burial coffin system 100, which can place the deceased, transport the deceased to a specific location on the bottom of the water or sea, and disintegrate the body, thereby effectively reducing the burden of traditional burial.

[0015] The sea burial coffin system 100 includes a loading device 10, a media mechanism 30, and a coffin 50. The media mechanism 30 and coffin 50 are both detachably attached to the loading device 10. The coffin 50 is used to load the deceased. The loading device 10 allows the deceased's relatives to load, making it easy for the family to mourn the deceased. During the memorial service, the media mechanism 30 operates to broadcast music and other messages to allow remembrance of the deceased. Once the memorial service is over, the coffin 50 detaches from the loading device 10 and sinks to the bottom of the water, allowing the deceased to be buried at sea or at sea.

[0016] The mounting device 10 (floor facility) includes a mourning area 11, an attachment rod 13, and a landing board 15 (also called a landing ramp). The landing board 15 is an inclined sloped board with one end attached to the bottom of one side of the mourning area 11 and the other end facing the ground and in contact with the ground. This allows the family of the deceased to enter the mourning area 11 through the landing board 15 and stand in the mourning area to mourn the deceased. The mourning area 11 is a rectangular passageway with a positioning mechanism attached to its inner wall. The interior of the mourning area 11 is hollow, forming a storage groove 101 (connecting bridge ceiling). The attachment rod 13 is located above the storage groove 101. Both ends of the attachment rod 13 are fixed to the mourning area 11. A lifting device (not shown) is attached to the side of the attachment rod 13. Furthermore, a hook is attached to the attachment rod 13. The coffin 50 is suspended from the hook and positioned above the receiving groove 101. The media mechanism 30 is attached to one side of the mourning area 11. After the deceased is placed in the coffin 50 and suspended from the mounting rod 13, the family can walk across the landing board 15 to enter the mourning area 11 and activate the media mechanism 30 to remember the deceased. In this embodiment, the media mechanism 30 is a multimedia music device, display, or the like. Although a ship is used as the mounting device 10 in this embodiment, other mounting equipment can be used that can transport the coffin 50 above the water surface and then submerge it in a specific location on the water or seabed.

[0017] The specific location where the deceased will sink to the seabed can be determined by a positioning mechanism (not shown), such as a GPS satellite. During the family's memorial service, the loading device 10 will glide synchronously on the sea surface and move to the predetermined burial position. When the loading device 10 reaches the predetermined burial position, the hook of the lifting device will separate the coffin 50 from the mounting rod 13 and the coffin 50 will be submerged in water.

[0018] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the coffin 50 (submersible equipment) includes a coffin tray 51 (openwork lattice coffin equipment) and a lifting mechanism 53. Here, the lifting mechanism 53 is attached to both the top and bottom of the coffin tray 51, and can separate the two parts of the coffin tray 51 by a certain distance after the coffin tray 51 sinks to the bottom of the water to facilitate the decomposition and digestion of the remains of the deceased by microorganisms and organisms on the seabed. In this embodiment, the coffin 50 is an oval-shaped ship's hull.

[0019] The coffin tray 51 has an openwork lattice structure and includes a coffin body 511 (multiple coffin chamber partitions) and a coffin lid 513 (openwork lattice coffin lid). A hollow storage space is formed inside the coffin body 511 to store the deceased and their daily necessities. Fixed rods 515 are attached to both sides of the coffin body 511. Fixing holes are opened inside the fixed rods 515. One end of the lifting mechanism 53 is fixedly connected to the coffin lid 513, and the other end of the lifting mechanism 53 passes through the fixing holes of the fixed rods 515 and extends to the bottom of the coffin body 511, where it comes into contact with the seabed and is supported on the plane of the seabed. It is also possible to store multiple deceased by providing multiple partitions inside the coffin body 511.

[0020] As shown in Figure 2, an air bag 5131 equipped with an air supply pipe fitting is attached to the coffin lid 513. When the air bag 5131 is filled with air through the air supply pipe, it prevents the coffin plate 51 from tilting or falling over due to the influence of water currents as it floats on the bottom of the water, and also assists in separating the coffin body 511 and the coffin lid 513.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 4, the lifting mechanism 53 includes a connecting post 531, a pneumatic cylinder 533 (lid lifting device), and a press-fit spring plug 535. Here, a groove is formed inside the connecting post 531. The press-fit spring plug 535 and the pneumatic cylinder 533 are both attached to the bottom of the groove. The press-fit spring plug 535 is housed in the bottom of the connecting post 531, and one end of the press-fit spring plug 535 is connected to the pneumatic cylinder 533. The other end of the pneumatic cylinder 533 is fixedly connected to the coffin lid 513. When the coffin tray 51 sinks to the bottom of the water, the bottom of the connecting post 531 is subjected to pressure, which causes the spring in the press-fit spring plug 535 to spring upward, and the pneumatic cylinder 533 to be pushed upward. This separates the coffin lid 513 and the coffin body 511 by a certain distance, allowing organisms from the seabed (such as marine fish and shrimp) to enter the coffin body 511 and decompose and eat the body of the deceased.

[0022] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, an anchor 537 is attached to the bottom of the connecting pole 531 to accelerate the sinking and stabilization of the coffin pan 51 to the bottom of the sea according to the determined coordinates. One end of the anchor 537 is sharp and can be driven into the mud and sand on the seabed. A wedge is attached to the outer periphery of the anchor 537. At the same time, a weight block 539 (weight) can also be attached to the bottom of the connecting pole 531. The combination of the anchor 537, the wedge, and the weight block 539 allows the coffin pan 51 to be set quickly and stably in a predetermined position on the seabed.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 6, in another embodiment, a counterweight structure 538 is attached to the bottom and end of the coffin pan 51. By measuring the weight of the foot side of the coffin 50, it is advantageous for the feet to sink first. The counterweight structure 538 includes a bag and cement contained within the bag. The cement hardens when it comes into contact with water to form a cement block. The weight of the cement block is 1.6 to 1.8 times the weight of the cement. Therefore, the coffin pan 51 allows the deceased to be submerged underwater rather than at the surface under the gravity of the cement block.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 7, an exhaust mechanism 70 (exhaust scissors) is further wrapped around the abdomen 200 of the deceased. When the deceased enters the water and their entire body expands with gas, the exhaust mechanism 70 penetrates the abdomen 200 of the deceased, facilitating decomposition of the deceased by microorganisms and marine fish in the water. Specifically, the exhaust mechanism 70 includes an elastic belt 71, a rear waist belt 72, and scissors 73. Two elastic belts 71 are provided. The ends of each elastic belt 71 are connected to the rear waist belt 72 and the scissors 73, respectively (see FIG. 7(a)). The rear waist belt 72 is fixed to the rear waist of the deceased, the scissors 73 are positioned at the abdomen, and the two elastic belts 71 are positioned on either side of the deceased's waist. When the deceased's body is not expanded, the two blades of the scissors 73 are arranged parallel to the rear waist belt 72 (see FIG. 7(b)). When the abdomen 200 of the deceased expands with gas, the elastic belt 71 stretches and lengthens, and the tension of the elastic belt 71 causes the scissors 73 to open so that the two blades form a certain angle (see FIG. 7(c)). When the abdomen 200 of the deceased expands to a certain extent, the elastic belt 71 thrusts the blades toward the abdomen 200 of the deceased (see FIG. 7(d)). This releases the gas within the abdomen 200 of the deceased, exposing the deceased's internal organs and accelerating the decomposition of the body by aquatic organisms. In this embodiment, the elastic belt 71 can be made of a readily degradable biopolymer material, such as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA).

[0025] See Figure 1. The coffin 50 is made of degradable or recyclable materials. If the coffin 50 is made of recyclable materials, it can be made of 316L stainless steel and equipped with a sacrificial anode protection device to reduce resource consumption. If the coffin 50 is a consumable item, it can be made of degradable materials such as iron, magnesium, or aluminum alloys. Furthermore, before use, the coffin 50 can be subjected to a rapid rust treatment. For example, the inner wall of the coffin pan 51 can be sprayed with potassium iodide powder containing an adhesive, sprayed with hydrogen peroxide, or heated with fire, and then cooled and poured with salt water to scratch or wear the iron surface. Alternatively, small pieces of copper (an inert metal) can be added to the iron to accelerate decomposition and achieve environmentally friendly purposes.

[0026] In this application, the term "deceased" is not limited to human remains, but also includes animal corpses. Furthermore, the coffin 50 of this application can be used for both water burial and earth burial. This is because the coffin 50 is made of biodegradable materials, which are easily decomposed by microorganisms in the soil.

[0027] When using the sea burial coffin system 100 of the present invention, the specific burial direction of the deceased is first determined, and then the exhaust mechanism 70 is tied to the deceased's abdomen 200. Next, an anchor 537, an extrusion wedge, and a weight block 539 are attached to the bottom of the connecting pole 531. The deceased is then placed in the coffin body 511, the coffin lid 513 is closed, the coffin lid 513 is connected to one end of the connecting pole 531, and the air bag 5131 is filled with air. The coffin 50 containing the deceased is then hoisted onto the mounting rod 13 using the lifting equipment. The family of the deceased then enters the mourning area 11 via the landing platform 15 and mourns the deceased while music plays. At the same time, the loading device 10 starts and sails to the predetermined seabed location. After reaching the predetermined location, the lifting equipment's hook separates the coffin 50 from the loading device 10 by a certain distance and the coffin 50 is submerged. Finally, when the wedge penetrates the muddy sand on the seabed, the pneumatic cylinder 533 is pushed upward by the spring in the press-fit spring plug 535, separating the coffin lid 513 and the coffin body 511 from each other. This allows underwater organisms to enter the coffin body 511 and decompose the deceased. When the deceased expands with gas in the water, the elastic belt 71 pulls the pincers 73 and pierces the abdomen 200 of the deceased. This releases the gas inside the deceased, exposing the deceased's internal organs and accelerating the decomposition and ingestion of the body by underwater organisms.

[0028] In this embodiment, the openwork lattice-like coffin 50 is made of degradable materials and is formed by pressing and bending stamped sheet metal to avoid environmental pollution. In another embodiment, the coffin 50 may be formed using a bending and weaving technique. Over time, both the deceased and the coffin 50 will be completely decomposed by organisms on the seabed. This natural burial method is environmentally friendly and does not occupy land resources.

[0029] The present sea burial coffin system 100 combines a counterweight structure and an anchor structure to ensure that the deceased does not float to the surface of the water but sinks to the bottom, and by integrating a media mechanism and a positioning structure, it is possible to accurately release the deceased on the surface of the water while also allowing relatives to emotionally mourn the deceased.

[0030] Furthermore, a cover can be placed on the outside of the coffin 50. Furthermore, the deceased's clothing and bedding can be placed inside the coffin 50. The cover, bedding, and clothing are all made of water-soluble materials. This is an improvement over traditional burial and cremation methods, where the clothing and accessories worn by the deceased are not all made of water-soluble materials, resulting in unacceptable levels of marine debris. To protect the marine ecosystem and respect the deceased's faith and appearance, the fabrics for the coffin cover, bedding, and clothing are made from water-soluble materials such as seaweed fiber and wood pulp, and colored with natural dyes such as gardenia and turmeric. Furthermore, water-soluble, environmentally friendly inks are used to print verses from the Bible, the Quran, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist incantations, and other elements on the cover. The cover and other components are biodegradable, dissolve in water, and are harmless to the ocean because they are not synthetic chemicals, combining environmental protection, beautification, and prayerful effects.

[0031] [Example 2] See Figures 8 and 9. The difference from Example 1 is the structure of the coffin tray 51 in this example and the application scenes. Specifically, in this example, the planar shape of the coffin tray 51 is circular, and multiple partition plates 5113 are provided at the bottom of the coffin body 511. These partition plates 5113 divide the interior of the coffin body 511 into multiple small spaces. Each small space can accommodate a deceased person, making it possible to accommodate multiple deceased people together within the coffin body 511. This makes it possible to effectively use it when holding large-scale funerals during serious epidemics or wars.

[0032] The coffin tray 51 is applied to an ecological waterway 90 on land. A microbial tank 91 is provided at the bottom of this ecological waterway 90. When the coffin tray 51 sinks into the ecological waterway 90, it sinks in an area close to the microbial tank 91, accelerating the decomposition of the deceased by microorganisms.

[0033] [Example 3] Please refer to Figures 10 and 11. The difference from Example 1 is that the loading device 10 in this example is a funeral hall on a ship or a water pier. Specifically, the interior of the loading device 10 is composed of a total of five floors, including a fuselage area 101, a storage area 102, and a mourning area 11.

[0034] Here, the aircraft area 101 is the third floor closest to the sea surface and is used as the engine room and rest and activity space for the ship's crew. The mourning area 11 is located on the second floor and is a space where passersby, such as family members, can mourn the deceased. Cabin doors 110 are provided on both sides of the mourning area. A media mechanism 30 is attached to the inside of the cabin doors 110. The lowest floor (first floor) inside the ship is the accommodation area 102, and above the accommodation area 102 is the deck area 103. The deck area 103 is an open structure without a roof and can accommodate a lifting device and a spacecraft 80 (e.g., a drone).

[0035] A number of freezers 1020 are installed within the storage area 102. Each freezer 1020 contains at least one deceased person. A work space is formed on both sides of the freezer 1020 to facilitate the preparation of the deceased person's appearance. Mounting rods 13 are further attached to both sides of the freezer near the cabin door 110. These mounting rods 13 are used to hang the coffin 50 containing the deceased person. Receiving holes are opened in the floor of the storage area 102 at positions corresponding to the mounting rods 13. These receiving holes penetrate the storage area 102 and the mourning area 11, allowing the coffin 50 to pass through the storage area 102 and reach the mourning area 11. When the cabin door 110 is opened, the coffin 50 hangs from the inside of the cabin door 110 (the side corresponding to the mourning area 11) while being hung from the mounting rods 13. After the relatives of the deceased have finished paying their respects in the mourning area 11, the coffin 50 can be detached from the attachment rod 13 by a lifting device and slowly lowered to a designated location on the seabed.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 12, the coffin 50 can be transported to the deck area 103 by a lifting device, and then the coffin 50 can be lifted by an aircraft 80 and transported to a designated sinking location, where it can be sunk to the seabed.

[0037] Referring to Figure 13, the coffin 50 can also be equipped with two remote-controlled blades 517 and one power system 519. Each blade 517 is attached to one side of the coffin base 51. The power system 519 is attached to the bottom of the coffin base 51. This allows the coffin 50 to be remotely operated to pop out of the water and float stably above the water surface, making it possible to recover the body after the deceased has been decomposed by aquatic organisms.

[0038] [Example 4] See Fig. 14. The difference from the first embodiment is that the exhaust mechanism 70a in this embodiment is an exhaust pipe for discharging gas from inside the body of a human, and the exhaust pipe includes a main body 77 and a plug 79. The main body 77 has an elongated shape and is hollow, defining a cavity 770.

[0039] The main body 77 includes a first portion 771 and a second portion 773 that are integrally molded. The first portion 771 is cone-shaped and is intended for insertion into the anal canal of a patient. An air vent 775 is formed on the side of the first portion 771 that is farther from the second portion 773. The air vent 775 is intended to receive air generated by bacterial growth within the patient's body. A stripe-shaped exhaust hole 777 is further formed on the side wall of the first portion 771. The exhaust hole 777, the cavity 770, and the air vent 775 are interconnected. Therefore, air within the patient's body is exhausted through the air vent 775. The air then passes through the exhaust hole 777 and the cavity 770 and is expelled to the outside of the patient's body.

[0040] A plurality of protrusions 779 protrude from the outer wall of the main body 77. These protrusions 779 fit closely to either side of the subject's anal canal, preventing the exhaust tube from becoming detached from the subject's body. The plurality of protrusions 779 are spaced apart and aligned along the length of the main body 77.

[0041] The second portion 773 has a cylindrical shape. The side of the second portion 773 away from the first portion 771 protrudes outward to form an engaging portion. An opening is defined in the engaging portion. This opening is for connection to the stopper 79. The opening and the cavity 770 communicate with each other. After the exhaust pipe is inserted into the body of the deceased, gas within the body is exhausted through the vent hole 775. Some of the gas is exhausted through the exhaust hole 777, while other gas passes through the cavity 770, pushing the stopper 79 outward and separating it from the body 77. At this time, seawater enters the cavity 770 through the opening and flows into the body of the deceased through the vent hole 775. The osmotic action dehydrates and decomposes the intestinal bacterial cells, effectively solving the problem of corpse swelling and accelerating the sinking of the deceased to the seabed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe is made of a degradable material, such as a starch-based composite material made by mixing starch with polylactic acid.

[0043] [Example 5] See Figures 15 and 16. The difference from Example 1 is that the loading device 10 in this example is a ship, and at least one transport mechanism 20 is detachably attached to the ship. One end of the transport mechanism 20 is connected to the ship, and the other end of the transport mechanism 20 is immersed in seawater or extends to the vicinity of the water surface, and stably transports the coffin 50 into the seawater.

[0044] The transport mechanism 20 includes a transport cylinder 21 and a contact plate 22 connected to one end of the transport cylinder 21. The transport cylinder 21 is hollow and has openings on both ends. The two openings are for receiving and releasing the coffin 50 containing the deceased, respectively, and the coffin 50 is slowly lowered into seawater through the transport cylinder 21.

[0045] The conveying tube 21 has a striped shape. One end of the conveying tube 21 close to the contact plate 22 is placed on the outer edge of the ship's stern opening or side opening, and the outer wall of the conveying tube 21 abuts the top of the ship. The other end of the conveying tube 21 farther from the contact plate 22 is inserted into seawater. In other words, part of the conveying tube 21 is located in seawater. When the coffin 50 containing the deceased is positioned inside the conveying tube 21, the coffin 50 slides freely along the conveying tube 21 into the seawater.

[0046] The contact plate 22 is for placing the coffin 50, and the inclination angle can be adjusted to allow the coffin 50 to slide into the transport cylinder 21.

[0047] After the family of the deceased has finished mourning the deceased on board, the transport tube 21 and contact plate 22 are first attached to the ship. Next, the coffin 50 is carried to the contact plate 22 using a lifting device, placed on the contact plate 22, and pushed toward the opening, so that the coffin 50 moves from the contact plate 22 toward the opening and then slowly falls from the transport tube 21 into the seawater.

[0048] The conveying tube 21 is a tube made of elastic fabric and has a certain degree of contraction, which creates a cushioning resistance between it and the coffin 50, thereby achieving a gentle descent effect. The conveying tube 21 is foldable and can be stored inside the ship, making it easy to carry and use.

[0049] 16 and 17. In one alternative embodiment, the transport mechanism 20 includes at least two mounting frames 23 and a transport member 24 slidably connected between two adjacent mounting frames 23.

[0050] Each mounting frame 23 includes two mounting plates 231, a connecting rod 233, and two connecting plates 235. The two mounting plates 231 are spaced apart and connected by the connecting rod 233. The two connecting plates 235 are bent and extend from one side of the mounting plate 231, respectively, and can be inserted into the openings 107 of the ship. The two connecting plates 235 are spaced apart and jointly engage with the connecting plates 108 of the ship, thereby stably connecting the mounting frame 23 to the ship.

[0051] A plurality of gears 237 are attached to the sides of the two mounting plates 231 that are farther away from each other. The gears 237 are arranged in a line at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the mounting plate 231, and their outer peripheries protrude from the mounting plate 231. One gear 237 is located at the top of the mounting plate 231. The gears 237 are connected to one drive motor, and can be rotated by the drive of the drive motor.

[0052] The conveying member 24 includes a stand 241, a chain 243, and a receiving portion 245. The chain 243 is slidably attached to the stand 241. The receiving portion 245 is connected to the chain 243, is located on one side of the stand 241, and moves synchronously with the chain 243.

[0053] The stand 241 has an annular shape and is attached to the side wall of the boat in cooperation with the mounting frame. After the stand 241 is attached to the boat, one end thereof is adjacent to the boat, and the other end thereof extends in one direction toward the water surface and is adjacent to the water surface. The stand 241 includes rods arranged in parallel and spaced apart relation. Each rod includes a first side and a second side opposite each other. The first side is for connection to the mounting frame 23. The second side is for connection to the receiving portion 245.

[0054] The chain 243 is loop-shaped and slidably attached to the outer wall of the rod. Both ends of the chain 243 protrude from the first and second sides and mesh with and connect to the housing 245 and the multiple gears 237. A guide groove 247 is formed on the first side of the chain 243 that protrudes from the rod. The multiple gears 237 are slidably housed within the guide groove 247 and are meshed with and connected to the chain 243. Therefore, when the gears 237 rotate, the chain 243 also rotates in synchronization.

[0055] The receiving section 245 is connected to the chain 243. The receiving section 245 includes two pulleys 2451, one receiving plate 2453, and two connecting arms 2455. The receiving plate 2453 includes a recessed area for receiving the coffin 50. The center portions on both sides of the receiving plate 2453 are fixedly connected to the two connecting arms 2455. A pulley 2451 is connected to each of the two end corners. The pulley 2451 is slidably received within the second side of the rod and is connected to the inner wall protruding from the second side of the chain 243 by meshing with it. As a result, when the chain 243 moves along the extension direction, the pulley 246 slides synchronously along the extension direction. As a result, the coffin 50 stored in the recessed area can be transported from one side of the ship to the water surface.

[0056] One end of the connecting arm 2455 is fixed to the chain 243, and the other end of the connecting arm 2455 is connected to the center of the storage plate 2453. This strengthens the synchronous sliding of the storage plate 2453 and the chain 243, and the coffin 50 is placed stably on the storage plate 2453.

[0057] If the wind force on the sea surface is strong and the coffin cannot slide to the designated coordinates within the designated seabed, the ship can be sailed to the designated destination, the mounting frames 23 inserted into the ship's openings 107, and the transport member 24 attached between the two mounting frames 23. When the gear 237 is driven to rotate, the chain 243 rotates synchronously, and the storage unit 245 is driven to perform synchronous linear movement from the top of the rod toward the bottom of the rod. When the storage unit 245 moves to the bottom of the rod following the chain 243, the chain 243 continues to rotate, moving from one side of the rod to the other side, and then from the bottom of the other side toward the top of the rod. At this time, the storage unit 245 also moves synchronously and flips over. During the flipping process, the coffin 50 in the recessed area comes off the storage plate 2453 and falls into the designated location in the seawater. Subsequently, after the storage unit 245 flips over, it performs linear movement together with the chain 243 from the bottom of the rod to the top of the rod.

[0058] As can be seen, a limit bearing is attached to the bottom of the rod to limit the movement of the receiving part 245. At the same time, the gears 237 are not connected to the drive motor, but may be moved by the gravity of the coffin 50 and the deceased. As a result, the chain 243 and receiving part 245 are driven to slide synchronously. When the coffin 50 is placed in the recessed area near the top of the rod, the gravity of the coffin 50 causes the chain 243 and receiving part 245 to move synchronously and toward the bottom of the rod and the water surface until they approach the water surface. Due to the inertial effect of gravity and the limiting effect of the limit bearing, when the receiving part 245 moves to the bottom of the rod, the coffin 50 is thrown out and sinks to the water surface.

[0059] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above description, but is defined by the following claims. Accordingly, the embodiments described herein are considered to be illustrative and not limiting. Accordingly, all changes that do not depart from the scope and boundaries of the claims, and all equivalents within the scope and boundaries of the claims, are intended to be embraced within the scope of the claims.
