Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cremated remains container, and more specifically, to a cremated remains container in which a lid is screw-fastened to the upper part of the container holding the cremated remains, and the container and lid are formed of antibacterial brass, and the inside and outside are coated with antibacterial paint, thereby enabling the safe storage of cremated remains for a semi-permanent period through a double antibacterial action. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, funeral practices are shifting from burial to cremation and interment in columbariums.

[0004] A container used to hold the cremated and pulverized remains when interred in a columbarium is called an urn, and urns are typically made of stone, wood, or ceramic to be placed in the columbarium.

[0005] Such an urn is designed with an open top to allow cremated remains to be inserted, and the open top is covered with a lid to isolate it from the outside.

[0006] However, conventional urns absorb moisture, and there are cases where the remains deteriorate when stored in a columbarium for a long time.

[0007] To this end, Registered Patent No. 2355971 (January 21, 2022) proposed a configuration comprising a stainless steel body in which a vacuum insulation space is formed between an inner tube and an outer tube, a first sealed inner cover consisting of a first cover body, a first rim portion, and a first sealing member, a second sealed inner cover consisting of a second cover body, a second rim portion, and a second sealing member, and an outer cover.

[0008] That is, the main body is designed so that a vacuum insulation space is formed between the inner tube and the outer tube, and the first cover body, the second cover body, and the outer cover are sequentially placed over the open upper part of the main body to prevent the deterioration of the remains inserted inside the main body.

[0009] However, providing a main body with a vacuum insulation space and multiple covers presents an uneconomical problem due to the high production costs associated with complex manufacturing techniques, and there is a drawback in that it is difficult to move or transport because it is formed from stainless steel, which has considerable weight like stone or ceramics. Prior art literature

[0011] (Reference 1) Registered Patent No. 2355971 (January 21, 2022) The problem to be solved

[0012] Accordingly, the present invention aims to resolve the aforementioned problems and drawbacks. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an urn that is made of antibacterial brass material and has antibacterial paint applied to the inside and outside, thereby enabling safe maintenance so that the remains inside are not deteriorated or damaged through double antibacterial treatment.

[0013] In addition, another objective of the present invention is to provide an urn that can be manufactured at the lowest possible cost through a minimal configuration consisting of a casing and a lid, wherein the lid is screw-coupled to the casing and the interior is sealed off from the outside by a packing to create a vacuum.

[0014] In particular, another objective of the present invention is to provide a pet urn that can be hygienically stored at home while maintaining antibacterial properties permanently when the pet's remains are placed inside, by miniaturizing the size. means of solving the problem

[0016] The urn according to the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned purpose comprises a brass body having a groove for receiving cremated remains that opens upward, a brass lid that is screw-coupled to the upper part of the body and screw-coupled by rotating from the open upper part of the body, and a packing that is inserted between the upper surface of the body and the lower surface of the lid to form a seal between the surfaces, and is configured such that an antibacterial paint is applied to the surface of the body and the lid to provide double antibacterial treatment.

[0017] The above antibacterial paint consists of 60-75% of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylic acid, n-butyl methacrylic acid, butyl acrylic acid, styrene, methyl methacrylic acid, and acrylic acid copolymer, 5-10% of bisphenol A-bisphenol A diglycidyl ether polymer, 5-10% of solvent naphtha (petroleum) and light aromatic compounds, 1-10% of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetic acid, 1-10% of 1-butanol, 1-10% of 2-butoxyethanol, and 1-10% of xylene.

[0018] An anti-slip pad is attached to the bottom surface of the above-mentioned enclosure.

[0019] In the center of the upper surface of the lid, a handle, a pet shape, or a decorative element of various shapes is formed to protrude so as to facilitate the opening and closing operation of the lid. Effects of the invention

[0021] In the urn according to the present invention having the configuration described above, the materials of the urn and the lid are formed from brass having antibacterial properties, and the surrounding surface is coated with an antibacterial paint, thereby preventing deterioration or damage to the remains through a double antibacterial action, while simultaneously enabling semi-permanent hygienic storage, allowing for placement or storage indoors.

[0022] In addition, the present invention is made of brass, which has a relatively light weight, so that it is easy to handle and easy to move or transport.

[0023] In particular, the present invention allows the remains of a pet to be kept at home just as they were before death, without the need to incur costs to place them in a columbarium. Brief explanation of the drawing

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0026] Below, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention.

[0027] The scope of the present invention shall not be interpreted as being limited by the embodiments described in the text.

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the embodiments, the same reference numerals are assigned to identical components, and in some cases, the description of the same reference numerals is omitted.

[0029] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an embodiment of an urn according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a combined cross-sectional view of FIG. 1.

[0030] As illustrated, the present invention is composed of a housing (10), a lid (20), and a packing (30).

[0031] The housing (10) of the present invention is shaped to have a groove (11) for receiving remains formed inside so as to be open to the top. Although the housing (10) can be formed in various shapes, it is formed by heat treatment using a circular tube or a square tube.

[0032] The housing (10) is formed from brass or a brass alloy that is easy to process by heat treatment and has antibacterial properties of its own.

[0033] At this time, it is most desirable to form the housing (10) with a thickness of 5 to 8 cm.

[0034] The upper part of the housing (10), which allows the bone receiving groove (11) to open upward, is opened and closed by a lid (20).

[0035] The lid (20) is connected so that its lower end can be screwed into or separated from the upper end of the housing (10). The lid (20) may be formed in a tubular shape like the housing (10), but it is most preferable to form it in an upwardly curved shape as shown in the drawing.

[0036] These lids (20) are formed by heat treatment, just like the housing (10), and it is more preferable that they be formed of brass or a brass alloy having antibacterial properties to facilitate heat treatment processing.

[0037] At this time, the lid (20) may be formed with a separate handle or a decorative object in the shape of a pet or other various shapes protruding from the center of the upper surface to facilitate opening and closing of the lid (20).

[0038] Meanwhile, a packing (30) is inserted between the upper surface of the housing (10) and the lower surface of the lid (20).

[0039] The packing (30) creates a vacuum inside by ensuring that the contact surfaces between the housing (10) and the lid (20) are sealed when the lid (20) is screw-fastened to the housing (10).

[0040] In particular, an antibacterial paint is applied to the inner and outer surfaces of the housing (10) and lid (20) of the present invention.

[0041] The antibacterial paint at this time is composed of 60-75% 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylic acid, n-butyl methacrylic acid, butyl acrylic acid, styrene, methyl methacrylic acid, acrylic acid copolymer, 5-10% bisphenol A-bisphenol A diglycidyl ether polymer, 5-10% solvent naphtha (petroleum), light aromatic compound, 1-10% propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetic acid, 1-butanol, 1-10% 2-butoxyethanol, and 1-10% xylene.

[0042] In addition, the combined shape of the housing (10) and the lid (20) in the present invention may be formed in various shapes as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] In particular, as shown in FIG. 6, an anti-slip pad (40) may be attached to the bottom surface of the housing (10) of the present invention, and the anti-slip pad (40) may be formed in a ring shape or in a plate shape.

[0044] The operation and effects of the urn according to the present invention, as described in the above configuration, are explained in more detail as follows.

[0045] The present invention is configured to have a housing (10) and a lid (20) that form a cremated remains receiving groove (11) that can be joined or separated by screws, and a packing (30) that is in close contact between the surfaces of the housing and lid.

[0046] The combined configuration of the housing (10), lid (20), and packing (30) is similar to the previously known technology.

[0047] However, the housing (10) and lid (20) of the present invention are formed with a thickness of 5 to 8 cm using a brass tubular body having antibacterial properties, and an antibacterial paint is applied to the inner and outer surfaces of these tubular bodies with a predetermined thickness, thereby providing double antibacterial treatment.

[0048] In addition, by screwing the lid (20) to the housing (10) and sealing the boundary surface between them with a packing (30), the interior can be completely sealed off from the exterior, thereby preventing the intrusion of moisture or insects from the exterior.

[0049] In addition, the interior is double-treated with antibacterial agents along with the exterior to prevent deterioration or damage to the remains contained within, thereby enabling the remains to be preserved semi-permanently.

[0050] In addition, by making the housing (10) and lid (20) out of brass material through heat treatment molding, it is possible to produce them cheaply through a simpler manufacturing process, and also make them lighter, thereby providing the advantage of being easy to handle, transport, or move.

[0051] In particular, since the present invention allows for the storage of pet remains when the size is reduced, it is possible to keep pets safe and hygienically stored at home without the economic burden of incurring storage costs by storing them in a separate columbarium, thereby enabling people to remember their pets.

[0052] As such, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments and can be modified and varied in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations should be deemed to fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention. Explanation of the symbols
