Description

The invention relates to a coffin for cremations with a reusable Au coffin with removable lid and with one arranged inside the outer coffin removable cradle for the body, after removal of this Recording device is combustible together with the body.

At the moment it is common for conventional cremations, that is, for earth burials intended coffins to use, which then together as part of the cremation men are burned with the corpse. The provision of such a conventional Chen Sarges is associated with considerable costs. In addition, the conventional one Environmentally polluting method, on the one hand with regard to the elaborate manufacture of the coffins and on the other hand with regard to the pollutant emissions during combustion, since the coffins in the Usually contain pollutants, for example in the paints, which occur during combustion to be released.

In DE-PS 3 82 840 a coffin for cremations has already been proposed that, but this has not found its way into practice. This coffin for cremation tion consists of a reusable outer coffin with a removable lid. Of the The bottom of the coffin can be removed from the outer coffin Corpse lies. The bottom of the outer coffin is used for the combustion process the corpse lying on top and then the coffin floor together with the  Body burned. The outer coffin can then be reused by adding a new one Soil is used, which serves to accommodate the next corpse.

Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the object of an improved to create the usable coffin for cremations.

As a technical solution, the invention proposes that the recording device for the body is a container enveloping the body.

This is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly way to cremate a Corpses created at cremations. The basic idea is to un limited reusable outer coffin to use, which visually a konventio nellen coffin corresponds to how it is also used for burials. That outer coffin serves to hold a corresponding container in which the body is located. This container can have different shapes and types (as follows below) will have to be carried out), it only has to be liquid-tight and the body full constantly wrap and eventually be able to be burned. Consequently the reusable outer coffin can be used for different containers. The op Outside coffin corresponding to a conventional coffin affects the Aufbah not the last eye contact of the bereaved, be it that the Au ßensarg closed or open, in the latter case that in the outer coffin located container should be designed so that it is not visible. The outer coffin exists made of conventional material, i.e. wood, and is equipped with the usual fittings. Despite the container for the body, the usual coffin becomes the usual expectation not clouded and the aesthetic feeling is not disappointed and not disappointed last. The inner devotion is therefore not due to the unusual appearance of the coffin disturbed. In addition, the coffin according to the invention is environmentally friendly because the natural dukt Wood is not burned unnecessarily and because with appropriate training of the Container unnecessary pollutants are released, such as the paints with conventional coffins. Through an appropriate choice of materials for the containers As a result, there are virtually no harmful emissions during combustion. And also in the manufacture of the coffin according to the invention, the raw materials are protected if for example, recycling materials are used. The combustion continues shortens time and facilitates the combustion process and the preparation for it. Finally, the coffin according to the invention is inexpensive because the outer coffin is repeated is used, while only one container is to be provided, which, however, in the ver is very cheap compared to conventional coffins. These containers can also be included  appropriate training store more easily.

In a further development it is proposed that the outer coffin in particular on its A fold-down end wall at the top for removing what is in the outer coffin Containers through the opening created thereby. This is a technical created easy way to put the container together with the one inside Introduce and remove the body from the outer coffin. The fold-down bulkhead will have a horizontal hinge in the bottom area of the outer coffin, wäh rend it has a stop and a suitable closure by means of which the folded up front wall held securely on the longitudinal side walls of the outer coffin becomes. This closure can be, for example, a plug-in / pressure measurement act chanism. A snap mechanism, which is not independent, is preferred can solve.

A further development suggests that the fold-down end wall in the down folded state also serves as a ramp for feeding and removing the container. This creates a way to be together with the container the corpse is easily removed from the outer coffin, the container on the inside the side of the folded-down front wall slides.

In a preferred constructive design of the container, this is a coffin-like one Interior coffin. This creates a coffin-in-coffin system, with the inner coffin corresponding A conventional coffin is just not as demanding as to the shape or the choice of materials. Different interior coffin variants can be used be provided. The only condition is that the inner coffin in the Outer coffin fits in and can be easily removed again. The one for the Burning certain interior coffin will decrease in the case of an open burial baren lid, which during the laying process (as well as the outside coffin lid) is removed. The inner coffin is then like this with conventional coffin washing can be fitted out or lined so that the inner coffin in the case of open laying on the outside coffin is not recognizable as an internal coffin.

As just mentioned, the inner coffin preferably has one for burial purposes removable lid. There is between the actual inner coffin body and this removable cover to provide a preferably integrated closure so that in ge closed state of the inner coffin the lid can not be easily removed can.  

Alternatively, the inner coffin can have a hinged lid. Such an inside coffin is not suitable for laying out, because then the lid would interfere, but only for transfer purposes where the integrated hinged lid does not interfere.

A further development suggests that the lid on the actual base body of the In nensargs can be sealed with an adhesive tape. This makes it technically simple Possibility created with such an adhesive tape, in particular in the form of a Adhesive film an airtight seal between the lid and the actual reason to create the body of the inner coffin. Any smells cannot escape.

A further development of the inner coffin suggests that the upper side of the coffin essentially Chen is flush with the top edge of the open outer coffin. This is the inside coffin fully integrated in the outer coffin and as such hardly noticeable when the coffin is lined with appropriate coffin wash.

A further development of the inner coffin suggests that this support means points. This creates a way to easily expose the inner coffin to the outside to be able to remove coffin. The carrying devices can be the act in a wide variety of ways, such as carrying straps, integrated Carrying handles, all-round integrated carrying straps, in particular made of textile with corresponding Belt-carrying loops etc., these carrying devices mentioned for example for Coffins can be used for transfer purposes. For burial coffins can For example, gag-carrying handles can be used.

In a preferred development of the inner coffin, it is proposed that it be made of Cardboard is made. This provides a very inexpensive and technically simple option Creation of the inner coffin, using recycled cardboard in particular can. The only requirement for the cardboard to be used is that it is impervious to liquids is casual, so that the cardboard coffin if necessary with a liquid through casual material must be lined, for example with an environmentally friendly Plastic film. The advantage of the inner coffin made of cardboard is that the Manufacture water without chemical additives, especially chemical binders or paints that would otherwise release harmful emissions.

A further development of the inner coffin suggests that it be closed when not in use stand is collapsible. Warehousing is optimized as the inner coffins only  occupy a minimal storage volume, preferably the folded inner coffins are still stackable.

A further development of the outer coffin suggests that it rolls on the inner floor and / or has slide rails. These sliding elements are used for easy in and out push the inner coffin out of the outer coffin without it exerting great force supply needs. In particular, this means the removal of the inner coffin from the outer coffin possible by a single person.

A further development of the outer coffin suggests that this on the inner floor Has guide elements, in particular guide rails. This also makes a pro Easy pushing or pulling the inner coffin out of the outer coffin enables light without canting, for example. Preferably you will be the Guide elements, especially the guide rails combined with the slide rails ren. The guide rails can be formed, for example, as an L-shaped profile be, which take up the two longitudinal edges of the outer coffin, so that by this the profile is a guideway or channel for the outer coffin create is.

Finally, a development of the outer coffin suggests that it be elastic inside Buffer has. These bumpers ensure that the inner coffin is secure is kept in the outer coffin during transport and is therefore used for fixation. Of the Inner coffin is, so to speak, between the bumpers on one side and the flap is clamped on the other side.

The preferred embodiment of the container is the inner coffin described above. Alternatively, the container can also be a sack. Such a coffin sack is for example conceivable for war and disaster operations, since it is manufactured very cheaply and can be stored in the smallest possible space.

The sack preferably consists of paper or a plastic film. If the sack consists of paper, waste paper is preferably used. Preferably serves as a closure wise a laces. If the sack consists of a plastic film, you will of course use a film that does not release any toxins when burned. Of the Plastic bag preferably has a zipper for closing. Of course Lich other closures are also conceivable, for example the one already mentioned Lace closure.

Fig. 5b shows a corresponding representation as in Fig. 5a, but the container for the body is a paper bag.

In Figs. 1 to 4 is a first embodiment and in Fig. 5, a second embodiment shown a reusable coffin for cremations.

In the first embodiment of the reusable coffin for cremation, an essentially conventional outer coffin 1 is provided. This has a bottom 2 , longitudinal side walls 3 , end walls 4 and a removable cover 5 in a conventional manner. The essential peculiarity is that the one end wall 4 , the end wall 4 in the head region of the corpse 6 therein can be folded down, for this purpose a corresponding hinge is arranged between the bottom 2 of the outer coffin 1 and this cover 5 . In the area of the upper edge 7 of the actual main body of the outer coffin 1 are also (without the lid 5) does not Darge set securing means by 4 to keep this in the folded state of the end wall si cher on the longitudinal side walls. 3 Another special feature of the outer coffin 1 is that 8 rollers 9 and a central slide rail 10 are provided on the inner bottom. Two guide rails 11 with an L-profile are also arranged parallel to the longitudinal inner edges of the outer coffin 1 , these guide rails 11 also simultaneously functioning as slide rails. Finally, the outer coffin 1 has on the inside on the opposite side to the fold-down end wall 4 stop buffers 12 .

A so-called inner coffin 13 is located within the outer coffin 1 . This consists like a conventional coffin from a bottom 14 and side walls 15 and finally from a lid 16 , 16 '. In the first embodiment ( Fig. 1a), this cover 16 is formed separately and can be placed on the actual base body of the inner coffin 13 who, while in the second embodiment ( Fig. 1b) it is articulated on the actual base body of the inner coffin 13 and therefore on - and can be closed.

In Fig. 4a in a schematic cross-sectional view of the embodiment can be seen with the attached cover 16. It can be seen that the cover 16 is secured by means of a corresponding closure 17 with integrated toggle-carrying handles. In Figs. 4b and 4c variants are shown with a hinged lid 16 '. The side walls 15 of the inner coffin 13 have integrated carrying straps 18 or (alternatively) integrated carrying handles 19 or (alternatively) gag-carrying handles. In addition, the lid 16 'is fixed by an adhesive tape 20 to the side wall 15 of the inner coffin 13 , thereby sealing the inner coffin 13 as a whole. Finally, the variant in FIG. 4c has a belt 21 with belt-carrying loops 22 running around it. Alternatively, a belt buckle can be provided. Here, too, an adhesive tape 20 is used to seal the inner coffin 13 .

This first embodiment of the reusable coffin works as follows:

While a coffin is shown in Fig. 1 for burial purposes (cover 16 can be removed), a reusable coffin for transfer purposes is shown in Fig. 1b (cover 16 'can only be folded up).

The outer coffin 1 is reusable without restriction. In this outer coffin 1 is the inner coffin 13 in which the body 6 is placed. The inner coffin 13 is accordingly lined with coffin washings, in particular made of nonwoven paper, such that the coffin 13 is not visible as such. In this state, of course, the foldable end wall 4 is folded up and locked with the longitudinal side walls 3 of the outer coffin 1 . Both the cover 5 of the outer coffin 1 and the cover 16 of the inner coffin 13 are removed for laying-out purposes. For the actual cremation, the lid 16 is put back on the inner coffin 13 and then the end wall 4 is folded down, which in a sense fulfills the function of a ramp. Subsequently, the inner coffin 13 can be pushed out of the outer coffin 1 through the opening 23 formed thereby, for this purpose the inner coffin 13 slides on the castors 9 and on the slide rail 10 . The inner coffin 13 is guided by the two L-pro filmed guide rails 11 on the side. The inner coffin 13 thus removed (together with the body 6 ) can then be fed to the furnace. The outer coffin 1 remains and can be fitted with a new inner coffin 13 .

The variant in Fig. 1b and in Fig. 4b and c with the flip-up lid 16 'is not intended for open funeral purposes, but for closed positions (for example at the funeral service) and for transfer purposes, since with an open up the folded-up lid 16 'would interfere optically.

The embodiment of the reusable coffin, as shown in FIGS . 5a and b, differs from the first embodiment only in the design of the container for holding the body 6 . While an inner coffin 13 is provided as a container in the first embodiment, a bag 24 is provided as a container in this second embodiment. This can either consist of a plastic film with zip 25 or of paper, in particular recycled paper with a lace closure 26 . Here too, the sack 24, together with the body 6 located therein, is removed from the outer coffin 1 and fed to the furnace. One end wall 4 of the outer coffin 1 can be folded down for easy removal.
