Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a Shinto altar, and more particularly to a Shinto altar that can be attached to a wall. [Background technology]
[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 (Utility Model Registration No. 3041349) discloses a method for attaching a Shinto altar containing amulets to the rear of a picture frame made by inserting glass, a rim, and a decorative frame into the rear, in order to provide a Shinto altar that can be easily and efficiently installed anywhere in any home or apartment, making use of available space.
[0003] However, picture frames are installed by placing them on a stand or hanging them on pins driven into the wall. If they are placed on a stand, the installation locations are limited, and if they are hung on pins, the pins will damage the wall, making them an inconvenient option in rental housing, for example. Therefore, there is room for further improvement in terms of flexibility regarding the location of the Shinto altar. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[Figure 4] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the ornament 5. [Figure 5] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sacred tablet 7. [Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the shrine wallet 9. [Figure 7] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the installation of a Shinto altar 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] Representative embodiments of the Shinto altar according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these drawings. Furthermore, since the drawings are intended to conceptually explain the present invention, dimensions, ratios, and numbers may be exaggerated or simplified as necessary to facilitate understanding.
[0014] 1 and 2, the Shinto altar 1 has a sheet-like main body 3. The main body 3 has a printed layer 31 on which a shrine is displayed, and an adhesive layer 32 made of an adhesive.
[0015] The printing layer 31 may be made of paper or flexible film on which a company image or photograph is printed. The printing layer 31 can be made of any flexible material, such as paper, plastic film, nonwoven fabric, or fabric. If necessary, the surface can be waterproofed or weatherproofed to make it suitable for long-term installation.
[0016] The adhesive used for adhesive layer 32 may be any of acrylic adhesives, silicone adhesives, urethane adhesives, and rubber adhesives, as long as it can secure adhesion to the wall surface. However, it is preferable that the adhesive has releasability from wall surface W. Adhesive layer 32 may be covered with a protective sheet or release film (not shown).
[0017] The main body 3 may further have an intermediate layer 33 containing powdered magnetic material (see FIG. 3). Any magnetic material may be used as long as it is sufficiently attracted to magnets 51, 71, and 91, which will be described later. For example, iron or its alloys are preferably used.
[0018] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the Shinto altar 1 also has a pair of ornaments 5 that resemble a sakaki tree and a sakaki stand, which can be detachably attached to the main body 3. The sakaki tree part may be an artificial sakaki tree. The sakaki stand part may also be three-dimensional.
[0019] The pair of ornaments 5 preferably have magnets 51 that are attracted to the main body 3 (intermediate layer 33). Any material may be used as the magnets 51 as long as they are sufficiently attracted to the main body 3 to fix or hold the ornaments in place, but for example, iron oxide or its alloys are preferably used.
[0020] In this embodiment, artificial flowers resembling sakaki trees are placed at the top of the ornament 5, and a vase-like sakaki stand is placed at the bottom of the ornament 5. This sakaki stand is made of a resin molded product, and a magnet 51 is attached to a part of the back surface where lattice-shaped ribs are provided.
[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, the Shinto altar 1 may further include a Shinto amulet 7 that can be detachably attached to the main body 3. There may be one or more Shinto amulets 7. The user of the Shinto altar 1 may also prepare their own Shinto amulet 7.
[0022] The Shinto talisman 7 preferably has a magnet 71 that is attracted to the intermediate layer 33. The material of the magnet 71 may be the same as that of the magnet 51. The user of the Shinto altar 1 may attach the magnet 51 to the Shinto talisman 7 that they have prepared themselves.
[0023] Alternatively, the Shinto altar 1 may further include a Shinto amulet holder 9 that can be detachably attached to the main body 3 (see FIG. 6). The Shinto amulet holder 9 can store a plurality of Shinto amulets 7.
[0024] The shrine wallet 9 preferably has a magnet 91 that is attracted to the main body 3 (intermediate layer 33). The material of the magnet 91 may be the same as that of the magnet 51. The magnet 91 may be attached to the shrine wallet 9 with, for example, double-sided tape.
[0025] The procedure for installing the Shinto altar 1 having the above-described configuration will now be described. The protective sheet (not shown) is peeled off from the main body 3, and the main body 3 is attached to the desired wall surface W. The installation location can be the wall of the entrance or living room (see Figure 7). Note that if the main body 3 needs to be fixed more securely, such as when installing the Shinto altar 1 on an uneven wall surface W, the main body 3 can be fastened to the wall surface W with pins (not shown).
[0026] Next, a pair of ornaments 5 and a sacred tablet 7 are attached to the main body 3. That is, a pair of ornaments 5 are placed on the left and right sides of the main body 3 in a balanced manner. In addition, the included or separately prepared sacred tablet 7 is placed in the center of the main body 3. A magnet 71 is attached to the separately prepared sacred tablet 7 in advance. When displaying multiple sacred tablets 7, it is recommended to line up the sacred tablets 7 in an appropriate position between the pair of ornaments 5.
[0027] Alternatively, instead of the sacred paper 7, a sacred paper holder 9 may be placed in the center of the main body 3. One or more sacred paper 7 can be placed in the sacred paper holder 9.
[0028] When removing the Shinto altar 1, the sacred tablet 7 and the pair of ornaments 5 are removed from the main body 3, and then the main body 3 is peeled off from the wall W.
[0029] Therefore, in this embodiment, the Shinto altar 1 can be carefully enshrined by simply attaching it to the desired position on the desired wall W. It also makes it easy to prepare a place of worship even in an environment where it is difficult to install the Shinto altar 1. Furthermore, the Shinto altar 1 can be attached to the wall W and peeled off, making it easy to install and remove.
[0030] The above describes a Shinto altar, which is one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these. Various design modifications are possible as long as the technical concept of the present invention is maintained, and all such design modifications are included in the technical scope of the present invention.
[0031] In addition to the ornaments and talismans mentioned above, the Shinto altar of this invention can also be used to detachably attach any ornaments, souvenirs, or small items desired by the user. This allows it to be used as a Shinto altar as well as a seasonal display shelf or memo board, making it suitable for a wider range of uses. [Explanation of symbols]
