Cremation pendant

Abstract

We offer a cremation pendant that ensures complete waterproofing. [Solution] Container 2 is a cylindrical metal tube with an open end and a male thread 2a near the opening, and the other end is closed as a bottom 2b. Lid 3 has an open end and a female thread 3a near the opening that engages with the male thread 2a of container 2. The sealing plate 4 is used by being sandwiched between the tip of the opening of container 2 and the base of the female thread 3a of lid 3. Since it is made of silicone rubber, it is flexible and easily crushed, and can reliably maintain waterproofness.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a relic pendant that uses a metal container capable of storing the relics of the deceased, etc. and being sealed as a pendant to be worn around the neck.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, relic pendants have been used for personal veneration, which store relics such as those of the deceased or pets, relic hair, or a part of some souvenir in a small container and hang the container around the neck. Technologies related to using a relic pendant as an accessory such as jewelry have also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). However, in a form that emphasizes decorativeness as an accessory, it is difficult to enhance waterproofness, and in a state where there is a risk of getting wet, it is necessary to remove it to avoid getting wet. In some cases, wearing a relic pendant is emphasized more by wearing it as much as possible rather than decoration as an accessory (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

[0003] FIG. 4 shows the appearance of the relic pendant 11 included in Non-Patent Document 1 and a state in which it is disassembled into the container 12 and the lid 13. The container 12 is made of stainless steel and has an opening provided with an internal thread 12a and a bottom 12b. The lid 13 has an external thread 13a that screws into the internal thread 12a and can close the opening of the container 12 by screwing. A hole 13b penetrating in the lateral direction of the figure is formed in the lid 13, and it can be suspended through a chain 15. It is presumed that waterproofness is maintained by sandwiching an O-ring between the open end of the container 12 and the base end of the external thread 13a of the lid 13.

[0005] [Non-Patent Document 1] "Let's stay together forever" Memorial Pendant with Stainless Steel, from the Home Memorial Goods Specialist Shop, [online], [searched January 5, 2026], Internet: https: / / item.rakuten.co.jp / bondsconnect / th001 / [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] In Non-Patent Literature 1, the cremation pendant 11, which is intended to be worn as a personal memorial, requires the O-ring to be compressed and flattened to some extent if it relies on an O-ring to maintain its waterproof performance. However, the appearance of the cremation pendant 11 is also important, and it is undesirable for a flattened O-ring to be visible from the outside. With the cremation pendant 11, the user must initially place the cremated remains in the container 12 and cover it with the lid 13. The container 12 and lid 13 must be manufactured with high precision so that waterproof performance is maintained even when the user covers the container 12 with the lid 13, and so that the O-ring is not visible from the outside, which increases manufacturing costs.

[0007] The objective of this invention is to provide a cremation pendant that can reliably ensure waterproofing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] This invention relates to a memorial pendant for keeping cremated remains or other relics close at hand, It is a metal tube, One end is open, and a male thread is provided near the opening. The other end forms the bottom and is closed. Container and A lid having an opening at one end, with a female thread near the opening that engages with the male thread of the container, A rubber sealing plate used by being sandwiched between the tip of the container opening and the base of the female threads on the lid. This is a memorial pendant characterized by containing [a specific ingredient / feature].

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing plate of this invention is characterized by being made of silicone rubber.

[0010] Furthermore, the base end of the lid of this invention is characterized in that it is in contact with the sealing plate from the lid side, serving as a surface that closes the opening of the container. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to this invention, the opening of a container with a male screw is sealed with a rubber sealing plate sandwiched between the tip of the male screw and the base end of the female screw on the lid. Since the sealing plate seals the opening of the container in a position that is not visible from the outside, even when the lid is placed over the container while the male screw of the lid is screwed into the female screw of the container, waterproofing can be reliably ensured as long as the sealing plate can be sufficiently compressed.

[0012] Furthermore, according to this invention, since the sealing plate is made of silicone rubber, it is flexible and easily crushed, and can reliably maintain waterproofness.

[0013] Furthermore, according to this invention, the sealing plate has a portion that closes the opening on the container side and a surface that closes the opening on the lid side, so it can be reliably supported and its waterproofness can be enhanced. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a front view showing a cross-sectional view of the main parts of the cremation pendant 1, which is one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the cremation pendant 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a photographic representation of the external appearance of the container 2 and lid 3 that make up the cremation pendant 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a photograph used as a substitute for a drawing, showing the appearance of the cremation pendant 11 disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. For each figure, the corresponding parts are labeled with the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations may be omitted. For parts not described in the figure to be explained, reference numerals described in other figures may be used for reference.

Embodiment

[0016] FIG. 1 shows the front configuration and the cross-sectional configuration of the main part of a bone pendant 1 which is an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the disassembled configuration of the bone pendant 1. The bone pendant 1 includes a container 2, a lid 3, and a sealing plate 4. The container 2 is a metal circular tube with one end open, and a male thread 2a is provided near the opening, and the other end is a bottom 2b and is closed. The lid 3 has one end open, and a female thread 3a that engages with the male thread 2a of the container 2 is provided near the opening. The sealing plate 4 is used by being sandwiched between the tip of the opening of the container 2 and the base end of the female thread 3a of the lid 3, and is made of rubber. A hanging member 3b is provided at the top of the lid 3, and a ring 3c for hanging a hanging chain or the like is hung. The lid 3 may also be made of metal or resin like the container 2. In the case of being made of metal, it is preferable to use stainless steel, titanium, or the like as the material from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance and the like. It is preferable that the sealing plate 4 is made of silicone rubber because it is flexible and easily crushed and can surely maintain waterproofness. As the material of the sealing plate, other rubber materials used for O-rings, such as nitrile rubber and fluorine rubber, can also be used.

[0017] Figure 3 shows the appearance of the container 2 and the lid 3 that constitute the bone pendant 1 of Figure 1. Although the sealing plate 4 is not visible from the appearance, it is housed inside the lid 3. The proximal end of the lid 3 contacts the sealing plate 4 from the lid 3 side as a surface that closes the opening of the container. Since the sealing plate 4 closes the opening on the container 2 side and the surface that closes the opening contacts on the lid 3 side, it can be securely supported to enhance waterproofness. Also, due to the elastic force that acts when the sealing plate 4 is compressed, the threaded engagement part of the male screw 2a and the female screw 3a is tightened, so even when the lid 3 is suspended and used, it is possible to prevent the container 2 from falling off the lid 3 due to loosening.
