Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the inside of the casket, and FIG.
(A)-(c) is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the main part showing the lower half of the casket, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the handle member and the sliding cylinder part.

The casket 1 is composed of a box-shaped casket body 1a having an elongated rectangular parallelepiped shape and an open top surface, and a lid 1b for covering the upper surface of the casket body 1a. The casket body 1a is formed by vertically arranging a side plate 3 so as to surround a rectangular bottom plate 2. The lid 1b has a shape that matches the upper surface opening of the casket body 1a, and has a window 4 that can be opened and closed at a position closer to one side. The casket body 1a and the lid 1b are made of wood such as paulownia.

On the side plate 3 of the casket body 1a, a pattern 5 designing a flower is drawn. The pattern 5 may be directly written on the side plate 3 by hand, but preferably, a sticking method is adopted. By doing so, it is possible to reduce costs and prevent variations in quality. For the sticking method,
There are a method of adhering a sticker printed with the design 5 with an adhesive and a method of transferring the sticker to the side plate 3 using a transfer paper. Transferring with a transfer paper is more effective for producing a high-quality appearance. Of course, it is possible to directly print on the side plate 3 for mass production, but if there are many types of the pattern 5,
It is advantageous in terms of storage cost to retrofit only the pattern 5 to the solid casket 1. The content of the design 5 is arbitrary, and in addition to plants such as flowers, animals such as birds, or when the deceased is a child, a cartoon that he / she loved before birth may be drawn.

The pattern 5 may be drawn on the entire side plate 3, but in the present embodiment, it is drawn only on one side plate 3. That is, the pattern 5 is drawn only on the side plate 3 facing the attendant with the casket 1 installed on the altar. Normally, the casket 1 is installed on the altar so that the head of the body is located on the left side as seen from the participants, so if the pattern 5 and the casket 1 are related, There is no risk of mistaken orientation. Therefore, even an inexperienced part-time employee can easily know the direction of the coffin 1.

As shown in the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, handle members 6 are provided at the lower corners of the casket body 1a at the front and rear. Two sets of each of the front side and the rear side of the four handle members 6 are incorporated in one square tubular sliding tube portion 7 as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to (c) and FIG. . The handle member 6 has a shape in which a cylindrical grip portion 6b is formed at the tip of a prismatic body portion 6a having a shape that substantially matches the square hole 7h of the sliding cylinder portion 7. Only free to slide. Each of the handle members 6 is set to be shorter than ½ of the length of the sliding cylinder portion 7, and the sliding cylinder portion 7 is set as shown in FIG.
The length is such that the two pieces fit comfortably inside and the gap S is formed between the two handle members 6. A round hole-shaped pulling engagement portion 6c is formed at the tip of the grip portion 6b of the handle member 6. The pull-engagement portion 6c is used when pulling out the handle member 6, and may have any shape, such as a projection shape, as long as it can be hung or picked by a finger. Good.

On the other hand, the sliding cylinder portion 7 has a length substantially equal to the inner dimension of the short side of the casket 1, and is shown in FIGS.
As shown in (c), it fits in the lower corner portion of the casket body 1a.
A through hole 8 having substantially the same diameter as the grip portion 6b of the handle member 6 is formed in the lower corner portion of the casket body 1a, and the through hole 8 and the square hole 7h of the sliding cylinder portion 7 communicate with each other. . An opening 7a is formed in the center of the upper surface of the sliding cylinder portion 7, and a wedge-shaped spacer 7b is fitted in the opening 7a. The function of the spacer 7b will be described later. Also,
The through hole 8 of the casket body 1a is closed by a blindfold member 9 made of paper which is colored to resemble the surface color of the casket body 1a.

Next, a method of attaching and using the handle member 6 will be described. First, the two handle members 6 are inserted from the side of the prism body 6a into the sliding cylinder portion 7 before being attached to the casket body 1a. As described above, since the handle member 6 is set to have a length that is equal to or less than half the length of the sliding tubular portion 7, two pieces are provided.
Fits snugly inside. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2A, the sliding cylinder portion 7 is fitted in the lower corner portion of the casket body 1a, and the square hole 7h of the sliding cylinder portion 7 and the through hole 8 of the casket body 1a are aligned with each other.
Then, the spacer 7b is fitted and fixed in the opening 7a on the upper surface of the sliding cylinder portion 7. Then, the handle 7 is pushed out in the axial direction by the wedge action of the spacer 7b, and the grip 6
The tip of b faces the through hole 8. On the other hand, since the front side of the through hole 8 is closed by the blindfold member 9, the handle member 6 is the casket body 1a.
Therefore, it is stopped inside the sliding cylinder portion 7 with its axial movement restricted. In this way, when the tip of the grip portion 6b of the handle member 6 is engaged with the through hole 8 of the casket body 1a and does not come off, the sliding cylinder portion 7 is also fixed in the casket body 1a by the sliding. It is not necessary to intentionally fix the moving cylinder portion 7 with an adhesive or a nail. Of course, the sliding cylinder portion 7 may be fixed to the casket body 1a with an adhesive or a nail. It is clear that doing so improves the strength.

Thus, the casket 1 configured as described above is
Since the through hole 8 is closed by the blindfold member 9 when it is placed on the altar, it is hardly noticeable. Then, at the stage of carrying the casket 1, the blindfold member 9 is broken with a finger, and the finger is put into the pulling engagement portion 6c at the tip of the handle member 6 and pulled out. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2C, the handle member 6 slides in the sliding cylindrical portion 7 and projects outward. In the handle member 6, the prismatic body portion 6a is the casket body 1
Since it has a shape larger than the through hole 8 of a and cannot pass through, when the grip portion 6b is completely exposed, it cannot be removed any more.
By grasping the handle member 6 in this state, the casket 1 can be safely carried without slipping even while wearing gloves. In addition, when carrying it into a hearse or in a furnace at a crematorium, if the handle member 6 is pushed toward the sliding cylinder part 7, the whole will completely enter the sliding cylinder part 7, so that there will be no obstruction. do not become.

The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the embodiment, the spacer 7b is provided in the sliding cylinder portion 7.
Although the handle member 6 is positioned by fitting the above, the handle member 6 is moved to the side of the through hole 8 by using a finger,
A square spacer having a simple square shape may be inserted in the gap S between the two, or a stopper pin may be driven into the square hole 7h to prevent the handle member 6 from returning. Further, an elastic body such as a spring or sponge formed of a combustible synthetic resin may be interposed in the gap S between the handle members 6 and the handle member 6 may be pushed outward by the urging of the elastic body. . Note that the strength of the elastic body needs to be set so that the blindfold member 9 will not be broken or curled. If the positioning means described above is adopted for the handle member 6, the handle member 6 is stable in a fixed position without moving in the axial direction in the state of being housed in the sliding cylinder portion 7, and In addition, there is a peculiar effect that the blindfold member 9 is not smashed unexpectedly and the handle member 6 is easily pulled out. However, even if the structure in which the above-mentioned positioning means is not provided in the handle member 6 is adopted, the handle member 6
You can carry the casket 1 safely without pulling out the
In addition, at least the basic effect that the handle member 6 is housed so that the handle member 6 is not hindered from being carried into the hearse can be enjoyed.

In the embodiment, the blind member 9 is made of paper and is broken with a finger when necessary. However, the blind member 9 is made of a synthetic resin sheet and is easily peeled off. You may make it adhere | attach on the surface of the casket main body 1a with an agent. By doing so, when the handle member 6 is pulled out, the blindfold member 9 is peeled off and temporarily attached to another place, and when the handle member 6 is housed, the blind hole member 9 can close the through hole 8 again. Furthermore, the blindfold member 9 may be of a cap type so as to be detachable from the through hole 8.

In the embodiment, the handle member 6 is attached to the casket body 1a.
Although it is provided only in the lower corner portion, the mounting position and the number are arbitrary.
