Tilting Cremation Urn Display for Multi-Angle Ornament Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cremation urns with horizontal structures often have ornamental designs that are difficult to view from different angles, especially when positioned elevated, necessitating a better structural design for enhanced visibility.
Innovation Solution
A cremation urn with a tilted display that allows the ornamental features to be visible from various angles, featuring a drop-in threaded hatch for secure retention of cremated remains and a hatch-attachment mechanism for easy sealing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If a horizontal structure cremation urn is used, then the storage capacity is sufficient, but the ornamental designs are difficult to view from different angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a tilted base that angles the urn body relative to the horizontal surface, transforming the viewing geometry from a purely horizontal arrangement to an inclined three-dimensional configuration. This dimensional change allows ornamental designs on the curved surface to be visible from multiple angles while maintaining adequate storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The urn employs an asymmetric design where the body is tilted at an angle rather than positioned horizontally or vertically. This asymmetric orientation creates optimal viewing angles for ornamental designs while preserving the storage function, resolving the contradiction between visibility and storage capacity.
2Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If a vertical structure cremation urn is used, then the ornamental designs are easily seen from different angles, but the storage capacity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The tilted base creates a dynamic intermediate angle between horizontal and vertical positions, optimizing both visibility and storage capacity. Rather than choosing between extreme orientations, the dynamic angled configuration balances both requirements.
3Ease of operation
If a horizontal urn is positioned at an elevated position, then it is easier to display, but the top of the urn cannot be easily seen
Solution Approach 1:
The tilted base transforms the horizontal urn into an inclined configuration that extends vertically, allowing the top portion to be visible from front viewing positions while maintaining elevated display placement. This dimensional transformation resolves the visibility issue without compromising display ease.

AI summary
A cremation urn with tilted display is a device that enables the ornamental features of the cremation urn to be visible from different angles. The device includes an urn enclosure, an urn base, and an urn hatch. The urn enclosure is designed to retain the desired cremated remains inside the device a safe manner. The urn enclosure can be designed with different shapes and sizes to retain different amounts of cremated remains. The urn enclosure can also be decorated with different ornamental features. The urn base is designed to elevate portions of the urn enclosure in order to orient the urn enclosure at specific angles. The urn base also provides mechanical means to enable the user to fill the urn enclosure with the desired cremation remains. Further, the urn hatch allows the user to seal the urn base to keep the cremated remains safely stored within the urn enclosure.
