Description

DESCRIPTION

CARDBOARD CASKET WITH SEALED SEAL

Background

Unfortunately, the latest health warnings currently caused by the Covid-19 and previous pandemics, along with other natural disasters, make it necessary to find different alternatives to traditional caskets due to the punctual increase in demand. This type of industry has a problem when supplying these coffins before these generated peaks.

Packages intended to contain a coffin are known to be transported from one country to others, especially by plane, as shown by the utility model document with publication number 1028751 whose applicant is the Institut municipal deis serveis funeraris de Barcelona , which collects a container whose bottom is made of wood and whose walls are preferably made of cardboard.

The nature of this type of coffin is regulated by strict regulations and approvals, making it difficult and complex to make a coffin that complies properly.

In general terms, the solutions provided in the state of the art require additional elements to maintain the assembly of the boxes or their assembly is complex in situ, these problems solving the invention favorably advocated.

Object

Provide different alternatives to traditional caskets using a lightweight, stackable cardboard casket that significantly reduces costs and manufacturing time. Another object of the invention is to reduce the environmental impact by not using varnishes or paints or metallic elements in its manufacture, both in its assembly and those of an ornamental nature.

Description

The way in which death is faced in these times is different from how it was faced or understood years ago. It is normal then, that the way of dismissing the dead, as well as the place where his body is placed, is also modified, this sometimes as natural catastrophes or health crises is revealed, specifying the society through its governments or administrations have massive means to carry out this task that comply with regulatory requirements and that this is done in a dignified manner for the deceased and their families.

We will refer to the present specification interchangeably to casket or coffin since their differences in terms of their geometry do not prevent that both can be made entirely of cardboard as described in this invention.

The coffin has the means to house a body by means of a simple and environmentally friendly construction, since it is made of corrugated cardboard and does not have assembly hardware or varnish and paint finishes as conventionally used in those made of wood. This minimization of contaminating elements especially facilitates cremation. Its preparation starts from the stamping of corrugated cardboard sheets whose folding and assembly together generate both the main body intended to house the deceased and its cover.

To form its lower body, we start with different sheets of corrugated cardboard from those classified in the industry as double-double die-cut channels, which have grooves in the folding line, firstly it has a sheet whose geometry forms the bottom of the coffin of The parts that define the walls of the latter divide perimeter, these portions that define the walls have a dimension close to twice the height of the body of the coffin as they are bent into the box to form a body with greater structural strength to the time they retain a second body that is now defined; This second element constitutes an interior body that, starting from a new die-cut sheet and with its folding lines, allows to generate a base and some complementary walls to the previous one that is deposited inside the first one and later it will be retained when folding in its half and towards the interior of the coffin the portions that define the walls of the first element described above. The structural properties necessary to comply with the technical specifications are increased with a third element that we will call the internal reinforcement of the body whose geometry defines a complementary base to the base. of the second, depositing on it. The mission of this element is in addition to providing rigidity, offering insulation or a barrier against possible emanations from the body of the deceased, this is allowed by presenting at least one of its expensive hydrophobic properties, its perimeter has a plurality of recesses whose depth is close to thickness of the corrugated cardboard of the first element, which in a complementary way has on its outer perimeter a plurality of protruding elements in the shape of a rectangular prism, such that when the portions that define the wall of the coffin are folded, these protruding elements fit together with the recesses holding the whole together.

The coffin has two support elements as legs, one on the feet and the other in the head area, these supports run the entire width of the coffin and are made from corrugated cardboard sheets whose folding manages to provide the necessary height, this separation of the box avoids any contamination with the ground and allows to be able to place the hands when it is required to transport.

The coffin lid is made up of two elements, on one side a die-cut sheet complementary to the base of the coffin with considerably larger dimensions to produce its closure and whose conformation is analogous to that described in the first element, also has an internal reinforcement of the cover, presenting again the set of recesses and protruding elements that cooperate in fixing the assembly.

The rigidity of the lid and base of the coffin is improved by arranging the layers that make it up, misaligning the direction defined by the cardboard channels between them.

It has a hermetic seal between the base and the cover made up of an adhesive sealing tape that surrounds the contact perimeter between both bodies.

The means of joining the elements when required are made through the use of adhesives.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of what is described in the present specification, some drawings are attached in which, by way of example, a relation of the figures of the proposed invention is represented.

Figure 1 shows an isometric view of the closed coffin, where 1 is the lid, 2 the outer body, 3 the end support near the head and 4 the foot end support.

Figure 2 shows the open coffin in which the internal reinforcement of the lid 6, the internal reinforcement of the body 7, and the perimeter seal 5 can be seen.

In the exploded view of figure 3 the position of the elements that make up the coffin can be seen: 1 lid, 6 inner reinforcement of the lid, 8 inner body, 7 inner reinforcement of the body, 2 outer body, and the end supports. close to the head and feet 3 and 4 respectively.

Figures 4 and 5 show the flat starting surfaces and their bending lines that will form the casket support elements 3 and 4.

Figure 6 shows the three elements that make up the coffin box and its folding lines, where 2 is the outer body, 8 inner body and 7 inner body reinforcement.

Figure 7 shows the two elements that, after folding, generate the cover, 1 being the cover and 6 the internal reinforcement.

Preferred embodiment

Mention is made by way of example of a preferred embodiment, the materials used in its manufacture being independent of the object of the invention, as well as the application methods and all the accessory details that may appear, as long as they do not affect its essentiality.

This preferred embodiment reflects the embodiment and embodiment of the invention specifying details that help to understand the invention and how the technical requirements of a coffin for its approval are resolved.

In this way, the coffin is made up of two pieces, on one side the one used to house the deceased and on the other a lid for closure. The coffin is made of corrugated cardboard, which in this particular embodiment has been selected of the double channel type with a total thickness of 6.88mm, grammage of 1090g / m2, puncture resistance of 18.85 J, compression in column of 14, 98kN / m and a water absorption coefficient of 120g / m2. These characteristics allow it to pass the different mechanical tests such as bending tests or resistance to falls, all without causing any damage that involves opening the lid or deflating the coffin.

The arrangement, bending and assembly includes what is characterized in its first claim, therefore it also includes a hermetic seal (5) figure 2 located on the perimeter that defines the contact area between the base and cover bodies that provide sealing to the assembly and of a water-repellent treatment on the face of contact with the deceased of the internal body reinforcement (7).
