Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a rin used as a funeral tool or the like, and particularly to a rin that can be easily combined with an ossuary or various Buddhist utensils.
Background Art
[0002] A rin is one of the Buddhist utensils and is struck with a rin stick or the like when mourning an individual. In recent years, with the diversification of the living environment, rins of various shapes and structures have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a rin in which a bowl-shaped rin body is integrated with a pedestal. Patent Document 2 discloses a new type of rin in which the rin main body is connected to the inner bottom of the decoration part.
[0003] However, in each case, the rin body was in the shape of a bowl or a pot-like vessel shape. Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has studied a new type of rin that is excellent in design and can be easily combined with an ossuary or other Buddhist utensils, such as a flower stand, an incense burner, a fire stand, a Buddhist rice bowl, a tea set, etc., and has arrived at the present invention.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a rin that is excellent in design and rich in functionality.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] The phosphor according to the present invention comprises a base portion and a belt-shaped phosphor portion arranged around the outer circumference of the base portion with a predetermined gap, wherein the belt-shaped phosphor portion has a connecting portion with the base portion.
[0007] In this invention, the belt-shaped rind is intended to be a rind that is elongated in shape compared to the conventional vessel shape. Therefore, "belt-like" includes long, narrow strips of sheet metal, long, narrow strips of mesh material, strips of sheet metal with irregularly shaped cross-sections, and long, thin wires or rods.
[0008] In the present invention, it is preferable that the base portion has a mounting portion or a portion for storing an object. Here, the placement section for placing objects is created by arranging a belt-shaped bell section around the outer circumference of the base section with a predetermined gap. Since this bell section can be struck with a bell stick or the like, objects can be placed on top of the base section. Items to be placed on the base include urns, memorial tablets, flower vases, incense burners, candle holders, rice bowls, and tea cups, as well as decorative ornaments. Furthermore, a storage compartment capable of accommodating the various items mentioned above may be provided inside the base.
[0009] In the present invention, the base portion may resonate in accordance with the vibration of the belt-shaped ring portion. In this way, by making the bass part resonate with the bell when it vibrates, the lingering resonance of the bell becomes longer, and the vibrational sound also becomes louder. When the base is placed on a Buddhist altar or table, the vibrations from the base are further transmitted to the altar or table, amplifying the vibrations. [Effects of the Invention]
[0010] The rin according to the present invention has a belt-shaped rin shape. Therefore, depending on the position on the belt part where it is connected to the base part, the way the sound rings changes, and the timbre also changes depending on the length of the belt part. Thus, it becomes a new type of rin different from the conventional instrument-shaped rin.
Brief Description of the Drawings
[0011] [Figure 1] Example 1 of the rin according to the present invention is shown. [Figure 2] A plan view of Example 1 is shown. [Figure 3] Example 2 is shown, which has a connecting part of the belt part at a position away from the center of the belt. [Figure 4] Example 3 is shown, which is an example where the shape of the base part is a square. [Figure 5] Example 4 is shown, which is an example where the belt part is spiral. [Figure 6] An example of placing an ossuary on the base part is shown.
Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] An example of the structure of the rin according to the present invention will be described based on the following figures. The present invention is not limited to the following examples.
[0013] In FIG. 1, a perspective view of Example 实施例1 is shown, and in FIG. 2, a plan view thereof is shown. The rin has a base part 11 and a belt-shaped rin part 12 arranged around the outer periphery thereof. The rin part 12 has a belt part 12a provided with a predetermined gap from the outer peripheral surface of the base part 11 and a connecting part 12b connecting the rin part 12 to the outer peripheral surface of the base part 11. Example 1 is an example in which, as shown in FIG. 2, a rin part 12 is formed symmetrically with a connecting part 12b at the central part of the belt part 12a. By providing a predetermined interval d between the open end parts 12c, 12c on both sides of the rin part 12, the left and right belt parts 12a are more likely to resonate. Also, this interval d may be such that a phosphorus rod is inserted therein and swung left and right to sound the open end 12c. There is no particular limitation on the material of the base portion 11, but the phosphorus portion 12 is preferably made of metal. For example, it may be a brass alloy used in conventional phosphorus. Here, if the base portion 11 is composed of a container portion with an internal container and a lid portion of this container portion, a phosphorus rod, an ossuary, etc. can be accommodated inside. Also, the sound emitted can be made to change depending on the size and weight of the object accommodated inside.
[0014] Example 2 is shown in FIG. 3. This example is one in which the connecting portion 12b is shifted from the central portion of the belt portion 12a toward one open end portion 12c side.
[0015] Example 3 is shown in FIG. 4. This example is one in which the shape of the base portion 11 is a rectangular shape such as a square. Thus, there is no limitation on the shape of the base portion 11, and it may be a polygon, an ellipse, or the like. Also, Example 3 is an example in which the connecting portion 12b is provided at the end portion of the belt portion 12a.
[0016] Example 4 is shown in FIG. 5. This example is one in which the belt portion 12a is spiral. Thus, there is no limitation on the length and cross-sectional shape of the belt portion 12a. Also, in the example, the belt portion is arranged substantially horizontally along the side surface of the base portion, but it may be arranged in the vertical direction or obliquely.
[0017] FIG. 6 shows an example in which the ossuary 1 is placed on the upper surface of the base portion 11. Thus, if the upper surface of the base portion 11 is made flat, various objects can be placed. Also, the upper surface of the base portion 11 may have a shape that allows objects to be placed even if it is not flat. Furthermore, making the inside of the base section 11 hollow makes it easier for the bell to resonate when it is struck. Furthermore, this cavity may be designed to accommodate objects. Furthermore, a compartment for storing the bell can also be provided. [Explanation of Symbols]
