Definitions
- the present utility model represents a plastic-walled grave monument (slab and upright marker), fashioned in a manner similar to that seen with conventional monuments, meaning that it may be constructed with an entirely closed lid that may be attached at several points; that the base frame of the monument may be sized variously, as desired; and that structural parts - furnished with flanges used for securing the monument that can be located at several points - can be disposed on the exterior and interior of the structure.
- the vault may be filled with earth, where the attached flanges and the weight of the earth lend additional reinforcement. Once the monument has been erected, the exterior flanges may be covered with an aesthetically pleasing material, such as crushed rock.
- grave monuments Constructed in the conventional manner, grave monuments have thus far been fashioned of stone, preferably artificial stone.
- Grave monuments may be made of limestone, granite, marble, or, in special cases, even of glass. Pieces made of artificial stone or natural limestone are relatively easy to work with, as they can be both carved, and polished, while monuments made of granite, a more precious material, are more difficult to work with, resulting in a greater expenditure of time and money.
- Marble although identical in composition to limestone, is still more costly when applied to grave monuments. Although the crystals in the structure of marble offer the most pleasing appearance, the surface of a marble monument wears out quickly, and the material loses its shine and/or becomes yellowed with time.
- Stone grave monuments are also time-consuming to erect, requiring several phases of installation. In some cases, construction may even require heavy and other machinery, the use of which represents and additional cost. Though once erected, stone monuments preserve their beauty for some time, after a few years, they begin to collapse and sink under the force of weather and their own weight, becoming hazardous to passers-by. In several cases, including one involving a small child in Hungary in 2009, an individual has died from a falling piece of stone from a grave monument.
- Utility model CN2775221 describes a tombstone made of mixed materials that includes a tombstone heart and a tombstone shell, where the tombstone shell is made of ceramic, enamel, or hard plastic, and the heart is made of reinforced concrete. Inscriptions and images are arranged on the tombstone in a convenient manner.
- a final objective was that the solution be durable, remaining aesthetically pleasing and resistant to deterioration for many years, thus helping the cemetery to maintain a clean, orderly, civilized appearance.
- the present utility model is founded on the realisations that if a grave monument is produced with a wall structure of polyester plastic using appropriate tools and dies, where the constituent elements of the base material are a polyester artificial resin and fibreglass in one layer, such that this layer is then replicated, ensuring maximum durability and structural integrity;
- the subject of this utility model is a plastic-walled grave monument, consisting of a number of components, namely, a base frame, a head section, a lid, and accessories, constructed so that the wall structure consists of at least one layer of artificial resin and fibreglass, the uppermost protective layer of which is an artificial resin mixture containing a UV-resistant and/or fire-resistant material, and the components of which are attached to one another.
- the base frame is furnished with exterior and interior flanges, used to connect the base frame to the ground or landscape fixture in detachable fashion via bolts.
- the head section is furnished with a flange, used to attach it to the base frame in fixed fashion, preferably via an adhesive.
- the lid has a lower fitting part that fits into window openings, preferably rectangular, triangular, or cruciform in shape, in the base frame.
- the wall structure has a cover layer mixed from various colorants, additives, and decorative materials.
- Figure 1 depicts the layers of the wall structure. Visible on the diagram is the arrangement of layers (6), each layer consisting of a layer of artificial resin (61) and above it, a layer of fibreglass (6), with these layers then repeated in order to achieve the appropriate degree of integrity. Specifically, this diagram shows 2 such layers. Above the uppermost fibreglass layer (62) is a cover layer (7), an artificial resin mixture containing a UV resistant and/or a fire-resistant material. Mixed into this cover layer (7) may be various colorants, additives, and/or other decorative materials.
- FIG. 2 Visible on Figure 2 is the base frame (1), the central section of which is sealed with a lid (3).
- the fitting part (31) under the lid (3) fits into the rectangular window opening (31), while the edges of the lid (3) rest on the base frame (1).
- An accessory (4), a vase (41), is attached to the centre of the lid (3) by bolting or by gluing it into a drill-hole (8).
- Figures 3 through 6 depict variants on the grave monument's base frame constructed with various window openings (31) disposed within the body of the frame (11).
- the central section of the base frame (1) includes open windows (31) divided into 3 parts that may be covered with lids (3) as per figure 2 that are fitted to the size of the windows or filled with earth or other covering materials, such as crushed rock, which may be left as decorative in and of themselves, or used as a medium for planting vegetation.
- the window opening (31) is cruciform in shape, while in Figure 5 , it is rectangular.
- the upper portion of the base frame (1) is divided into three parts, but in this construction, the area of the rectangles is covered by lids (3), while the area around them is hollow and may be filled with various cover materials, such as earth or rock.
- FIG. 7 and 8 Visible in Figures 7 and 8 are a top and a front view of the base frame (1).
- the individual parts of the base frame (1) are clearly visible: proceeding from the outside inward, the exterior flange (51), the body of the frame (11), and the interior flange (52).
- the exterior flange (51) and interior flange (52) serve to secure the base frame (1) to the ground via covering with earth. Since the exterior flange (51) has been constructed along the entire exterior edge of the base frame (1), when covered with earth, it secures the entire base frame (1) to the ground circumferentially.
- the body of the frame (11) provides the protruding part of the base frame (1), whose height is 20-50, preferably 30, centimetres.
- the interior flange (51) is constructed on the interior, lower part of the frame (11) and serves, when the monument is filled with earth, to secure the entire base frame (1) to the ground from within, so that the entire base frame is secured stably and permanently.
- metallic corner components may be placed in the corners of the exterior flange (51), so that the entire frame (1) may be secured to concrete posts for even greater stability.
- FIGS 9 and 10 Visible in Figures 9 and 10 are front and top views of the head section (2).
- the front view according to Figure 9 shows a plaque (42) that offers personal information on the deceased.
- Both diagrams clearly show the construction of the exterior flange (51), used to secure the head section (2) to the base frame (1) via bolts or adhesives.
- Construction of the grave monument occurs in the following way:
- This layer is repeated several times, as desired: that is, it is followed by another layer of artificial resin, then another of fibreglass, each one is 10-100 mm thick, then another layer of resin. Once these layers have hardened, the piece, whose shape is determined by that of the die, is removed. The individual pieces are attached to each other in removable fashion by bolts, or in irremovable fashion by adhesives, by means of their exterior and interior flanges.
- the lower fitting part of the lid is fit into various window openings - preferably rectangular, triangular, or cruciform in shape - on the base frame, or in another variant, the windows are not covered by a lid, but are merely filled with earth with vegetation planted in them.
- Personal information is inscribed on a plaque constructed of various possible materials, preferably plastic, or directly onto the head section by means of painting, sandblasting, milling, or engraving.
