Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a stone tomb provided with a skylight on the eaves.

Background Art

[0002] In Okinawa Prefecture, in order to enshrine ancestors, there is a custom for family members, relatives, and clan members to gather in front of the tomb, offer offerings in front of the tomb, and then the participants eat the offerings. In particular, the Ching Ming Festival held around the third month of the lunar calendar (from early April to early May in the Gregorian calendar) is called Ching Ming (Seemee) and is still held today. In Okinawa Prefecture, tombs such as gable-roofed tombs or tortoise-shell tombs themselves serve as columbaria, the roofs of the tombs are high, and the size of the tomb yards is relatively large. The inventor has proposed in Patent Document 1 to cover from the tomb body to the tomb yard with a tent so that people can easily enshrine and prevent hot sunlight and rain.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] The stone tomb of the present invention has an eaves extending forward from the roof of the stone tomb body and covering the tomb courtyard, and this eaves has at least one skylight. The skylight has an opening in the thickness direction, and a transparent object is embedded in this opening. Sunlight enters through the skylight and illuminates the tomb courtyard portion. It is sufficient to have at least one skylight, but preferably there are two or more, and more preferably 2 to 4. The skylight can be provided at any location on the eaves.

[0010] The transparent object may be glass or resin (organic glass). As long as it is transparent, sunlight can be collected. Examples of transparent resins (organic glass) include urethane resin, acrylic resin, silicone resin, silicone rubber, silicone gel, rigid polyvinyl chloride resin, polycarbonate resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, polypropylene resin, polyethylene resin, etc. In the case of glass, there are glass blocks, glass plates, laminated glass, etc. Transparent resin (organic glass) has the advantage of being earthquake-resistant and not cracking.

[0011] The surface of the transparent object may be coated with an antifouling coating such as a water-repellent coating or a hydrophilic coating. Examples of water-repellent coatings include coating agents such as fluorine-based resins and silicone-based resins. Examples of hydrophilic coatings include photocatalyst-based coating agents containing titanium dioxide and a binder, coating agents containing alkoxysilane, coating agents containing perhydro polysilazane, etc. These are used in building exteriors, automobile bodies, glass, solar panels, kitchen sinks, etc. These coating films can be washed away by rainwater even if dirt adheres to them.

[0012] It is preferable to adhesively fix the transparent object and the eaves with a sealing material. By fixing, it is possible to prevent the transparent object from being blown away by strong winds such as typhoons, which is safe. As the adhesive, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, etc. can be used.

[0013] The opening constituting the skylight is preferably formed with the lower part narrower than the upper part, and in particular, it is preferable that a receiving part for the transparent object is formed at the lower part. By forming the lower part narrower by means of a step, the receiving part serves as a stopper when inserting the transparent object into the opening.

[0014] The upper surface of the transparent object is preferably exposed above the upper surface of the eaves. By being exposed, a structure is formed in which rainwater does not accumulate.

[0015] The stone tomb body of the present invention is preferably formed only of natural stone without using concrete. The reason for not using concrete is to prevent the efflorescence phenomenon and keep the appearance beautiful. Efflorescence refers to the white products that float on the surface of building materials such as concrete and mortar, and the main component is calcium carbonate. Therefore, if materials containing calcium such as concrete and mortar are not used for the stone tomb body, the base, and the cemetery components, the efflorescence phenomenon can be prevented. In addition, the stone tomb body, the base, and the cemetery are all composed of natural stone materials. By not using concrete, the construction period can be shortened. When using concrete, a curing period is required until the concrete hardens, and the construction period for that part becomes longer.

[0016] In the present invention, the stone tomb body refers to the part of the columbarium, and the stone tomb refers to the whole including the columbarium, the base, and the cemetery part. The base material of the base and the cemetery is paved with natural stone.

[0017] The stone tomb body is preferably a gabled tomb or a tortoise shell tomb. A cemetery is required for gabled tombs and tortoise shell tombs. If the concrete is excluded including the cemetery, the efflorescence phenomenon can be prevented. In addition, since it is concrete-free, there is no aging deterioration, and a stone tomb with a long service life can be obtained.

[0018] The following will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same objects. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a stone tomb 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This stone tomb 1 is composed of a stone tomb body 2, a roof 3, and an eaves 4 that extends in front of the roof and covers the cemetery 6. Skylights 5a and 5b are attached to the eaves 4. As a result, sunlight can be irradiated onto the cemetery 6. 10a and 10b are the irradiation parts of the sunlight. The skylights 5a and 5b can adopt any shape such as a rectangle such as a square or a rectangle when viewed from above, or a circle, an ellipse, an oval, etc. When the skylight is square, for example, the size of one side is preferably 50 to 300 mm.

[0019] Figure 2 is a schematic side sectional view of the stone tomb 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Skylights 5a and 5b are attached to the eaves 4. As a result, sunlight 7 can be introduced into the cemetery 6.

[0020] Figure 3 is a schematic enlarged sectional view of the skylight portion of Figure 2. The lower part of the opening of the eaves 4 forms a receiving part 9 for a transparent object by a chamfered protruding part, and a transparent object 5 such as glass is placed here. A sealing material 8 is filled and fixed in the gap between the transparent object 5 and the opening of the eaves 4. At this time, the upper part of the transparent object 5 is fixed so as to protrude from the upper surface of the eaves 4. In this way, rainwater is prevented from leaking from the gap between the transparent object 5 and the opening of the eaves 4. As an example, the height of the receiving part 9 is preferably 10 to 30 mm, and the protruding length is preferably 3 to 10 mm.

Example

[0021] Hereinafter, it will be described in more detail with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0022] (Example 1) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a stone tomb 1 was manufactured using granite. Each dimension is as follows. (1) Stone tomb body The frontage (width) was 2000 mm, the depth was 2610 mm, and the height to the apex of the roof was 2207 mm. (2) Eaves The frontage was 1960 mm, the depth was 1636 mm, and the thickness was 80 mm. (3) Skylight of the eaves Two square openings with a side length of 200 mm as viewed from the upper surface and a side length of 170 mm as viewed from the lower surface were made in the eaves 4, and a glass block 5 with a thickness of 100 mm and a side length of 1900 mm was inserted into these holes, and a commercially available silicone resin sealing material 8 was filled and fixed around it. The glass block 5 was fixed so as to protrude 40 mm above the upper surface of the eaves 4. The height of the receiving part 9 was 20 mm, and the protruding length was 5 mm. It was confirmed that the stone tomb manufactured in this way can introduce sunlight 7 into the cemetery 6, brightly illuminate the cemetery, prevent the worshiper from falling, and is a stone tomb in which one can worship with peace of mind.

[0023] (Example 2) A commercially available hydrophilic photocatalyst-based coating agent was spray-coated on the surface (top surface) of the glass block 5 produced in Example 1. This photocatalyst-based coating agent contains titanium dioxide and a binder. The coating amount was 10 μm in terms of dry film thickness. As a result, the surface (top surface) of the glass block 5 did not get dirty even after a long period of time, and sunlight 7 could be introduced into the cemetery 6.

Industrial Applicability

[0024] The stone tomb of the present invention can be applied not only to gable tombs and tortoise shell tombs but also to large stone tombs such as columbaria.
