[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a memorial tool 2 in which a prayer member 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is placed vertically.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the memorial tool 2 is composed of a prayer member 1, a first base plate 3a, and a second base plate 3b.

[0015] The first base plate 3a and the second base plate 3b are made of plate-like members with rectangular upper surfaces. The first base plate 3a and the second base plate 3b have the same length in the front-rear direction but different lengths in the lateral direction, with the lateral length of the first base plate 3a being shorter than the lateral length of the second base plate 3b.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the prayer member 1 includes a main body 4, a plurality of plate-like members 5, and a lid 6.

[0017] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the main body 4 is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape by four side walls 4a, and a storage chamber 7 is formed inside the main body 4. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, seven plate-like members 5 can be stored in the storage chamber 7. The number of plate-like members 5 that can be stored in the storage chamber 7 can be set arbitrarily as long as it is more than one.

[0018] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, a storage opening 8 is formed through the rear side A, which is one side of the storage chamber 7 in the front-to-rear direction in the main body 4, and an opening window 9 is formed through the front side B, which is the other side of the storage chamber 7 in the front-to-rear direction, so that the front and back of the storage chamber 7 are open.

[0019] The plate-like members 5 are formed in a long, thin rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the number of the plate-like members 5 can be set arbitrarily as long as it is plural. In this embodiment, the plate-like members 5 are configured as card plates, and the number of the plate-like members 5 is seven.

[0020] On the surface of the plate-shaped member 5, it is possible to write "Ancestral position of the family of so-and-so", the posthumous Buddhist name, secular name, pet name, etc. of the deceased in vertical writing, or to write the name of an individual in a foreign language such as English in horizontal writing, or to add any desired letters, figures, symbols, designs, etc. Furthermore, it is also possible to leave nothing written on the plate-shaped member 5 at the time of purchase, and then add any desired letters, figures, symbols, designs, etc. to the surface of the plate-shaped member 5 at any time after purchase.

[0021] The plate-like member 5 can be stored in the storage chamber 7 or removed from the storage chamber 7 through the storage opening 8. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the opening shape of the storage opening 8 is formed into a rectangle that is slightly larger than the rectangular shape of the surface of the plate-like member 5.

[0022] 1 to 7, the opening window 9 is formed as a through-hole having a rectangular opening shape. The opening shape of the opening window 9 is formed smaller than the rectangular shape of the surface of the plate-like member 5, so that characters and the like affixed to the plate-like member 5 can be seen and the plate-like member 5 does not fall out forward through the opening window 9.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the lid 6 can be attached to the storage opening 8 of the main body 4 to close it, or removed to open the storage opening 8, thereby opening and closing the storage opening 8. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 , the lid 6 is formed in a plate shape, and two first biasing members 11 are fixed to the front of both longitudinal ends of the lid 6. When the lid 6 is attached to the main body 4 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the first biasing members 11 bias the plate-shaped member 5 toward the opening window 9 and are not visible from the outside. Any material can be used as the first biasing member 11 as long as it can bias the plate-shaped member 5 toward the opening window 9. For example, the first biasing member 11 can be made of a rubber material, a spring material, or the like. In this embodiment, the first biasing member 11 is made of a composite material of natural rubber and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber). The number of first biasing members 11 can be any number other than two.

[0024] 8 to 10, protrusions 6a that protrude outward in the longitudinal direction are formed on the front side B of both longitudinal ends of the lid 6 over the entire width direction. The longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the protrusions 6a is formed into an arc shape that gradually becomes more outward in the longitudinal direction from the front side B end toward the rear side A, and then becomes more inward in the longitudinal direction toward the rear side A.

[0025] At one longitudinal end of the lid body 6, a cloth-like removal member 6b is provided from the front side B to the rear side A so as to cover the longitudinal side of the protruding portion 6a, and is provided so as to protrude toward the rear side A.

[0026] One end 12a of a second biasing member 12 made of a leaf spring is fixed to the inside of side walls 4a located at both ends of the main body 4 in the longitudinal direction. The other end 12b of the second biasing member 12 is not fixed and is able to move in the longitudinal direction of the main body 4. A retaining portion 13 is formed on a rear side A portion of the second biasing member 12. When the lid 6 is attached to the main body 4 as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the retaining portion 13 holds the position of the lid 6 and prevents the protrusion 6a of the lid 6 from moving to the rear side A, preventing it from falling off.

[0027] The retaining portion 13 is formed in an arc shape that gradually moves inward in the longitudinal direction from the front side B end toward the rear side A, and then moves outward in the longitudinal direction toward the rear side A. The retaining portion 13 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the main body 4 and is urged by the second biasing member 12 from the side wall 4a of the main body 4 toward the storage chamber 7, i.e., the retaining portions 13, 13 are urged in directions toward each other. In this embodiment, the second biasing member 12 and the retaining portion 13 are integrally formed by a leaf spring, but the second biasing member 12 and the retaining portion 13 may also be formed by separate members.

[0028] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the lid body 6 is attached to the main body 4, the cloth-like removal member 6b is located between the protrusion 6a of the lid body 6 and the retaining portion 13. By pulling the removal member 6b in the rearward direction A, one end of the lid body 6 moves rearward around the other end as the center, and the force moving the lid body 6 toward the rearward side A and the removal member 6b move the retaining portions 13, 13 in directions separating them (outward) against the biasing force of the second biasing member 12, allowing the lid body 6 to be easily removed.

[0029] Furthermore, because both the protrusion 6a and the retaining portion 13 are formed in an arc shape, when attaching the lid body 6 to the main body 4, one of the protrusions 6a of the lid body 6 is inserted into the main body 4 so as to be positioned on the front side B of the retaining portion 13, and then the other protrusion 6a is pressed against the retaining portion 13, whereby the retaining portions 13, 13 move in directions separating (outward) against the biasing force of the second biasing member 12, and the other protrusion 6a can be inserted in the direction of the front side B of the retaining portion 13. Thereafter, the biasing force of the second biasing member 12 moves the retaining portions 13, 13 in directions approaching each other, making it possible to easily attach the lid body 6 to the main body 4.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1, the prayer member 1 can be placed upright on top of the first base plate 3a, with the length of the plate-like member 5 (described later) aligned vertically. The second base plate 3b is placed in front of the prayer member 1, and a bell 20, a bell stick 21, or other personal belongings of the deceased can be placed on top of the second base plate 3b, allowing it to be used as a space for remembering the deceased or pets.

[0031] 2, the prayer member 1 can be placed horizontally on top of the second base plate 3b with the longitudinal direction of the plate-like member 5 (described later) aligned horizontally. The first base plate 3a is placed in front of the prayer member 1, and an incense burner 22 and personal belongings of the deceased can be placed on top of the first base plate 3a, allowing the space to be used for remembering the deceased or pets.

[0032] The handheld memorial tool 2 can be set up anywhere in the room as shown in Figures 1 and 2 and used as a space to remember the deceased or pets, or the prayer item 1 can be placed inside the Buddhist altar and used as an ihai (memorial tablet).

[0033] In addition, the prayer member 1 can be used as a retractable memorial tablet by writing on the surface of the plate-shaped member 5 the name of the deceased's ancestors, as well as the posthumous Buddhist name and secular name of the deceased. [Explanation of symbols]
