DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] In Figures 1 to 3, 1 is a storage device for tree burials, and this storage device 1 is used to store an urn 2, which is a container for storing remains, underground in a tree burial cemetery for a specified storage period (for example, a maximum of 20 years).

[0013] In the illustrated example, the ashes storage container is a ceramic or porcelain urn 2 for storing the ashes (not shown) of a dead person or pet. This urn 2 has a cylindrical urn body 3 with a bottom, and an urn lid 4 that opens and closes an upper opening 5 of this urn body 3. The upper surface of the urn lid 4 is formed into a spherical crown shape that is convex upward.

[0014] The sizes of the urns 2 to be stored by the storage device 1 are, for example, 7 inch and 8 inch, but all three shown in the figure are 8 inch. Although not shown, there may be three 7 inch urns 2, or a mixture of 7 inch and 8 inch urns 2.

[0015] The maximum number of urns 2 stored in the storage device 1 is, for example, three. Then, for example, the urn 2 on the lower level (first urn) is stored first, followed by the urn 2 on the middle level (second urn) and the urn 2 on the upper level (third urn) in sequence, and then, for example, when the contract period expires, the three urns 2 are taken out from underground and moved to another location.

[0016] The storage device 1 comprises a cylindrical burial tube 7 that is open on the top and bottom and is buried underground in a cemetery for tree burials, a support device 8 that is stored together with the urn 2 in an underground storage space 10 located within the burial tube 7 and supports the urn 2, and an opening / closing lid 9 that opens and closes the top opening 7a of the burial tube 7.

[0017] As shown in Figure 4, the support device 8 is equipped with a support 11 that can be inserted and removed (stored and removed) from an underground space formed in a cemetery for tree burials, that is, an underground storage space 10 located, for example, within a burial tube 7 buried underground, and that can support a number of urns 2 so that the urns 2 are lined up in the vertical direction and in close proximity to each other (for example, in a non-contact state where they are not in contact with each other), and an auxiliary body (lifting jig) 12 that is utilized (used) only when the support 11 is inserted and removed from the storage space 10 within the burial tube 7 together with the urns 2 supported by the support 11.

[0018] The auxiliary body (detachable body) 12 is detachable from the support body 11 and is attached to the support body 11 only when in use, that is, when the support body 11 is inserted into or removed from the storage space 10, and the attached state is maintained by multiple (e.g., three) anti-pullout pins 13 which serve as a pull-out prevention means (see Figure 2).

[0019] In a cemetery for tree burials, many (for example, 100 or more) storage devices 1 are installed underground at intervals within a given area, but the auxiliary body 12 and the retaining pin 13 of the support 8 of one storage device 1 can be used in the same way in all the other storage devices 1, so at least one set is sufficient. The auxiliary body 12 and the retaining pin 13, which are common parts, are not stored in the humid storage space 10 to prevent corrosion.

[0020] Here, the support body 11 comprises a bottom plate 21 which is a disc-shaped support plate that supports the urn 2 from below, a number of (e.g. three) shafts (connecting rods) 22 which are rod-shaped members whose lower ends are detachably connected to the bottom plate 21, and a deformable disc-shaped (e.g. donut-shaped) cushioning spacer (cushioning body) 23 which is detachably attached to the middle part of the shaft 22 in the vertical direction and is positioned between two adjacent urns 2 in the vertical direction to keep the two urns 2 in a non-contact state.

[0021] The bottom plate 21 has a first fitting recess (fitting recess) 26 on the lower side that fits with the bottom of a 7-inch urn (one remains storage container) 2, and a second fitting recess (fitting recess) 27 on the upper side that is slightly larger than the first fitting recess 26 and fits with the bottom of an 8-inch urn (another remains storage container different in size from the one remains storage container) 2. In other words, the upper surface of the bottom plate 21 is formed with multiple fitting recesses 26, 27, for example, two, so that it can accommodate two or more types of urns 2 of different sizes.

[0022] A plurality of long hole-shaped notched holes 28 (28a, 28b, 28c), for example three notched holes 28, are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the bottom plate 21 to fit with the lower end of the shaft 22. Of the three notched holes 28a, 28b, 28c, two notched holes 28a, 28b are formed in symmetrical positions with respect to the center of the bottom plate 21, and the remaining one notched hole 28c is formed at a position equidistant from the two notched holes 28a, 28b (see FIG. 4). The lower end of the shaft 22 can be pulled out laterally from the notched holes 28.

[0023] The outer diameter dimension (diameter dimension) of the bottom plate 21 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter dimension of the buried cylinder 7, so that the bottom plate 21 can be inserted into and removed from the buried cylinder 7. The bottom plate 21 closes a part of the lower opening 7b of the buried cylinder 7.

[0024] The shaft 22 has a pin hole 31 at its upper end, and the anti-pullout pin 13 is detachably attached to this pin hole 31 when the auxiliary body 12 is in use. The shaft 22 also has a short leg 32 at its lower end, which is a bulging abutment portion that abuts against a portion of the lower surface of the bottom plate 21 located around the cutout hole 28. This abutment portion 32 is formed in a bulging shape so as not to pass through the cutout hole 28. The short leg (mounting portion) 32 is placed on the upper surface (horizontal mounting surface) of the crushed stone portion 35, which is laid so as to be located at a water drainage hole portion (hole portion for preventing puddling) 34 of a concrete slab (run-in concrete) 33 underground (see FIG. 3).

[0025] Water pooling in the buried tube 7 flows through the cutout hole 28 in the bottom plate 21 into the space 36 between the lower surface of the bottom plate 21 and the upper surface of the crushed stone section 35, and then seeps into the soil through the gaps between the crushed stones in the crushed stone section 35. For example, although not shown, a drainage hole may be formed in the center of the bottom plate 21. As shown in Fig. 3, a marker stone 37 (e.g., a stone with letters such as a name engraved on its surface) is placed on the ground above the storage device 1 buried underground to identify the underground storage device 1.

[0026] The spacer 23 has a circular central hole 41 in the center into which the central part of the top surface of the urn 2 (part of the urn lid 4) fits, and has multiple long hole-shaped cutout hole parts 42 (42a, 42b, 42c) on the outer periphery that fit into the middle part of the shaft 22, i.e., three notched hole parts 42 (42a, 42b, 42c).

[0027] The three cutout holes 42a, 42b, 42c of the spacer 23 are formed in symmetrical positions with respect to the center of the spacer 23, similar to those of the bottom plate 21, and the remaining cutout hole 42c is formed at a position equidistant from the two cutout holes 42a, 42b. The middle part of the shaft 22 can be removed laterally from the cutout hole 42. Since the spacer 23 is deformable (e.g., elastically deformable), even if the three shafts 22 are positioned and fixed at predetermined positions by the auxiliary body 12 when the auxiliary body 12 is used, the spacer 23 can be removed (pulled out) laterally, and the spacer 23 can also be attached to the shaft 22 from the side.

[0028] The outer diameter (diameter) of the spacer 23 is the same as that of the bottom plate 21 and slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the burial tube 7, so that the spacer 23 can be inserted into and removed from the burial tube 7. The spacer 23 as a buffer means is installed between two vertically adjacent urns 2 when the support 11 supports two or more urns 2; one spacer is used when there are two urns 2, and two spacers are used when there are three urns. The spacer 23 is sandwiched between and positioned between the two adjacent urns 2, so that the vertically adjacent urns 2 do not come into direct contact with each other and are maintained in a non-contact state.

[0029] The auxiliary body 12 is formed in a triangular shape that forms, for example, an isosceles triangle in plan view, and has three cylindrical tubular parts 51 and three round bar-like rod-like parts 52 that connect these tubular parts 51. Of the three rod-like parts 52, the central rod-like part 52 is longer than the other two rod-like parts 52 of the same length, and coincides with an imaginary center line passing through the center point of the bottom plate 21 in plan view.

[0030] When the auxiliary body 12 is used, the shaft 22 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 51 from below, and the retaining pin 13 is inserted into the pin hole 31 at the upper end of the shaft 22. In this way, the auxiliary body 12 is attached to and integrated with the three shafts 22 of the support body 11, and then a hook (engaging portion) 56 of a lifting device 55 for lifting and lowering the support tool 8 is hooked onto the longitudinal center portion (engaged portion) of the central rod-shaped portion 52 on the central side. The lifting device 55 is, for example, a driven or manual winch or the like.

[0031] When the auxiliary body 12 is attached to the upper ends of the three shafts 22, the three shafts 22 are positioned and fixed by the auxiliary body 12 to maintain a vertical posture, but the distance between two of the three shafts 22 connected to both ends of the central rod-shaped portion 52 is greater than the outer diameter of the urn 2. Therefore, the urn 2 can be removed from the support 11 by moving it horizontally to the side.

[0032] On the other hand, the buried tube 7 is composed of a pipe (VU300) made of synthetic resin such as PVC. The auxiliary body 12 and the retaining pin 13 are made of metal such as SUS. The bottom plate 21, the shaft 22 and the opening and closing cover 9 are made of synthetic resin such as PVC. The spacer 23 is made of a foam material (material with a cushioning function) such as foamed polyethylene.

[0033] The spacer 23 is preferably elastically deformable, and may be made of, for example, relatively soft rubber or urethane chips. The auxiliary body 12 and the retaining pin 13 may be made of synthetic resin such as PVC and stored together with the support body 11 in the underground storage space 10.

[0034] Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the case of storing (storing) the urn 2 in the storage space 10 will be described.

[0035] In the ground of a cemetery for tree burials, a burial tube 7 fitted with an opening / closing lid 9 is buried, creating a large amount of storage space 10 in advance.

[0036] First, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the stone 37 located above the storage space 10 of the burial site where the ossuaries are to be stored is shifted, and then, as shown in FIG. 5(b), a hole 60 is formed by digging around the opening / closing lid 9, and then, as shown in FIG. 5(c), the opening / closing lid 9 is removed from the burial tube 7.

[0037] Next, as shown in Figure 5(d), the urn 2 containing the remains (ashes) is placed on the bottom plate 21 of the support 11 of the support tool 8, and the urn 2 is supported by the support tool 11. In addition, the auxiliary body 12 of the support tool 8 is attached to the upper end of the shaft 22 of the support tool 11 with a retaining pin 13 to prevent it from coming off.

[0038] Next, as shown in Figure 5 (e), the hook 56 is hooked onto the rod-shaped portion 52 at the center of the auxiliary body 12, and then the lifting device 55 is operated to lift the support 11 supporting the urn 2 and move it to a position above the storage space 10, and then the support 11 is lowered and inserted into the burial tube 7, and the short leg portions 32 at the lower ends of the three shafts 22 are placed on the supporting surface, which is the upper surface of the crushing section 35.

[0039] Then, the auxiliary body 12 is removed from the upper end of the shaft 22 of the support body 11, the opening and closing lid 9 is attached to the upper end of the burial tube 7, and the area around the opening and closing lid 9 is backfilled. In this way, one urn 2 is stored together with the support body 11 that supports it in the storage space 10 in the burial tube 7 for storage.

[0040] For example, when storing two urns 2, as shown in Figure 5(f), a spacer 23 is attached to a predetermined position on the shaft 22 and placed on the first urn 2, and then the second urn 2 is placed on the spacer 23. Similarly, when storing three urns, another spacer 23 is prepared and attached to a predetermined position on the shaft 22 and placed on the second urn 2, and then the third urn 2 is placed on the spacer 23. The state in which these three urns 2 are stored in the underground storage space 10 is as shown in Figure 3.

[0041] Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a case will be described in which the three urns 2 stored underground as shown in FIG. 3 are taken out of the storage space 10 (for example, when the contract period expires).

[0042] First, as shown in FIG. 6( a ), the stone 37 located above the target storage space 10 is shifted, a hole 60 is formed by digging around the opening / closing lid 9 , and the opening / closing lid 9 is removed from the buried tube 7 .

[0043] Next, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the auxiliary body 12 of the support tool 8 is attached to the upper end of the shaft 22 of the support body 11 using a locking pin 13 to prevent it from slipping out, and the hook 56 of the lifting device 55 is hooked onto the rod-shaped portion at the center of the attached auxiliary body 12.

[0044] Next, as shown in Figure 6 (c), the lifting device 55 is operated to raise the support 11 (with a total weight of, for example, approximately 30 kg) supporting three urns 2 vertically upward, and the support is stopped when the underside of the upper urn 2 is flush with the ground (including approximately flush; the same applies below).

[0045] In this stopped state, the worker holds the upper urn 2 by hand and moves it horizontally to remove the urn 2 to the side from above the spacer 23 of the support 11. Next, the worker similarly removes the spacer 23 that was above the middle urn 2 from the shaft 22, as shown in Figure 6(d).

[0046] Next, as shown in Figure 6 (e), the lifting device 55 is operated to raise the support 11 supporting the two urns 2 vertically upward and stop it when the bottom surface of the middle urn 2 is flush with the ground.

[0047] In this stopped state, the worker holds the middle urn 2 by hand and moves it horizontally to remove the urn 2 to the side from above the spacer 23 of the support 11. Next, the worker removes the spacer 23 that was on the lower urn 2 from the shaft 22, as shown in Figure 6(f).

[0048] Next, as shown in FIG. 6(g), the lifting device 55 is operated to raise the support 11 supporting one urn 2 vertically upward and stop it when the bottom surface of the lower urn 2 is flush with the ground.

[0049] In this stopped state, the worker holds the lower urn 2 by hand and moves it horizontally to remove the urn 2 from above the bottom plate 21 of the support 11 to the side.

[0050] In this way, the removal of the three urns 2 stored in the underground storage space 10 is completed. In addition to the method shown in the figure, it is also possible to use, for example, the lifting device 55 to lift the support 11 supporting the three urns 2 in one go until the bottom surface of the lower urn 2 is flush with the ground, and then remove the urns 2. Alternatively, for example, the lifting device (transport device) 55 may be used to lift the support 8 supporting the urns 2 and transport it to a predetermined position. Since up to three urns 2 can be stored in this storage device 1, the support 11 may be lifted a maximum of three times.

[0051] Furthermore, according to the storage device 1 described above, unlike conventional configurations, the urn 2 stored in the storage space 10 underground in the cemetery for tree burials can be easily removed from the storage space 10. In particular, with the support tool 8 of this storage device 1, the urn 2 can be removed from the support 11 by horizontally moving (moving sideways) the urn 2, making it even easier to remove the urn 2 and also easy to set the urn 2 on the support 11.

[0052] In addition, since the support 11 has a bottom plate 21 formed with mating recesses 26, 27 that fit into the bottom of the urn 2, the urn 2 can be prevented from shifting out of position, thereby preventing damage to the urn 2, for example, during an earthquake.

[0053] Furthermore, since the support body 11 has a spacer 23 that is placed between two adjacent urns 2 in the vertical direction and keeps the two urns 2 out of contact, damage to the urns 2 can be prevented more effectively.

[0054] In other words, in the conventional configuration, the inner containers (urns, etc.) stored in an outer container in a vertically stacked state are in contact with each other, and there is a risk of the inner containers (urns, etc.) being damaged during an earthquake, etc., but in the configuration of this embodiment, by using spacer 23, damage to the urn 2 can be prevented.

[0055] The bottom plate 21 of the support 11 is not limited to being integrally formed only from synthetic resin such as PVC, and may be, for example, as shown in Figures 7(a) and (b), composed of a lower surface portion (hard portion) 21a made of a resin material such as thermoplastic resin, and an upper surface portion (soft portion) 21b made of a foam material (material having a cushioning function) such as polystyrene foam or polyethylene foam, which is attached to the upper surface side of the lower surface portion 21a by bonding or integral molding. The upper surface portion 21b is formed with a plurality of fitting recesses 26, 27 so as to accommodate a plurality of urns 2 of different sizes. The material of the bottom plate 21 may be metal, for example, stainless steel, which is resistant to rust.

[0056] Also, the spacer 23 of the support 11 may have a fitting recess 61 on the upper surface side that fits with the bottom of the urn 2, as shown in Figures 8(a) and (b). The lower surface 23a of this spacer 23 is formed in a curved shape that fits closely with the upper surface of the urn cover 4, which is a spherical crown shape that is convex upward. However, depending on the shape of the urn cover 4, a fitting recess that fits with the upper part of the urn 2 may be formed on the lower surface side as well as on the upper surface side. Note that, for example, multiple fitting recesses may be formed on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the spacer so that multiple urns of different sizes can be accommodated. Also, for example, a spacer may be installed between the bottom plate and the lower urn, or on the upper urn.

[0057] Furthermore, the support 11 may have a bottom plate 21 and a spacer 23 in which round through-holes 66, 67 through which the shaft 22 is inserted are formed instead of the cutout holes 28, 42 that open toward the side, as shown in Fig. 9. The positional relationship of the three through-holes 66a, 66b, 66c of the bottom plate 21 is the same as that of the cutout holes 28a, 28b, 28c, and the positional relationship of the three through-holes 67a, 67b, 67c of the spacer 23 is the same as that of the cutout holes 42a, 42b, 42c. Note that, for example, in order to improve the hanging balance during lifting, a plurality of holes such as the cutout holes and the through-holes may be formed to be arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction (for example, 120 degree intervals in the case of three holes, and 90 degree intervals in the case of four holes).

[0058] 10, for example, a short leg portion (position maintaining portion) 70 having the same shape as the short leg portion 32 at the lower end of the shaft 22 may be provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 21 so that the position of the support 11 (horizontal position of the bottom plate 21) is maintained when the support 11 is placed on a horizontal support surface (such as the ground or the upper surface of the crushed stone portion 35). The four short leg portions 32, 32, 32, 70 are arranged at equal intervals (90 degree intervals) in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery side of the lower surface of the bottom plate 21, so that the horizontal position of the bottom plate 21 is maintained constant when the support 11 is placed on the support surface. In addition, since the stress is evenly distributed to four points at 90 degree intervals in this bottom plate 21, displacement due to load can be suppressed, durability is good, and the urn can be stably supported for a long period of time, for example, 20 years. In addition, the short leg portion 70 added to the bottom plate 21 as a posture maintaining portion does not need to have the same shape as the other short leg portions 32, and may have a different shape, such as a cylindrical or rectangular column shape, as long as it has the same height dimension.

[0059] Furthermore, the auxiliary body 12 is not limited to a triangular shape in plan view, and may be a T-shaped shape in plan view, as shown in FIG. 11. The auxiliary body 12 shown in FIG. 11 has a long rod-shaped portion 52 (52a) on the central side, a shorter rod-shaped portion 52 (52b) than the long rod-shaped portion 52, three cylindrical tubular portions 51, and a ring-shaped annular portion (engaged portion) 71 provided in the longitudinal center portion of the long rod-shaped portion 52 (52a) on the central side. When the auxiliary body 12 is used, the hook 56 of the lifting device 55 is hooked onto the ring-shaped portion 71 as shown in FIG. 11. This makes it easy to find the engagement position (attachment position) of the hook 56, which is a hanging member, and also makes it easy to find the center of gravity when hanging, making it easy to transport (transport) the auxiliary body in a hanging state.

[0060] On the other hand, the remains storage container stored in the storage device 1 is not limited to the urn 2 for storing remains, but may be any container capable of storing remains, such as a container for storing personal belongings (memorabilia, etc.) of a dead person or pet as remains. The container may be made of ceramic or porcelain, or may be made of resin, which is resistant to damage.

[0061] Furthermore, the maximum number of remains storage containers that can be stored in the storage device 1 is not limited to three, but may be, for example, two, or four or more.

[0062] Furthermore, the auxiliary body (lift jig) is not limited to a configuration that is detachable from the support body, and may be configured, for example, such that the auxiliary body is integrally provided on the support body.

[0063] Depending on the size and weight of the remains storage container, the storage device may be made small so that an operator can grasp the auxiliary body and manually raise and lower the support device.

[0064] Furthermore, the buried cylinder is not limited to a cylindrical shape with open top and bottom faces, but may be, for example, a cylindrical shape with a bottom having a hole (drain hole) for draining water.

[0065] Furthermore, for example, without using a buried cylinder, the support may be configured to be capable of being taken in and out (inserted in and out) of a storage space (dug hole) of a predetermined shape formed underground.

[0066] Furthermore, the means for preventing the tubular portion of the auxiliary body from slipping out upward from the shaft may be something other than a pin, and may be any means, such as a band or holder that is removably attached to the outer circumferential surface of the shaft.

[0067] Also, a drop prevention means for preventing the cylindrical part of the auxiliary body from sliding down the shaft under its own weight may be provided detachably on the shaft. For example, a drop prevention means may be provided detachably on the shaft at a position near the lower side of the cylindrical part of the auxiliary body so that the auxiliary body shown in Fig. 5(d) does not slide down under its own weight. The drop prevention means may be any means, such as a pin, a band, a holder, etc., as with the pull-out prevention means.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to prevent the urn from slipping off the removal opening (the short leg 70 side) even if the support supporting the urn (remains storage container) is tilted due to strong winds or a collision with a person or object, the center of gravity of the urn may be shifted to the opposite side to the removal opening (the side of the shaft 22 inserted into the notched holes 28c, 42c). That is, for example, the urn may be supported in a tilted state opposite to the removal opening by providing an upward protrusion on the removal opening side of the spacer or by making the thickness dimension of the spacer on the removal opening side larger than the opposite side.
