Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an informal torii gate for a Shinto altar used for rituals in ordinary households.

<Conventional technology and its problems> Conventionally, in ordinary households, it has been customary to build a shelf in a high place such as a lintel or nagaoshi indoors, and to enshrine a household altar on this shelf. When doing so, a step stool or stepladder must be prepared each time, which is extremely inconvenient for the work.

In particular, such household rituals are currently performed by elderly people, so standing on a stepladder or step stool brings with it the fear of falling, as well as holding sacred sake bottles, flower stands, etc. There is also the risk that various types of pottery may fall and be damaged.

<Means for solving the problems> The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and for this purpose, in terms of the structure of the torii for an informal Shinto altar,
It consists of a torii main body that is attached to a shelf on which a Shinto altar is enshrined, and a mounting board for placing offerings to the Shinto altar that is separate from the torii main body.A pair of left and right supports forming the torii main body are used to raise and lower the mounting plate. In addition to providing a slide guide groove, a pair of left and right fixing hooks are integrally projected downward from a mounting frame that is fixedly suspended horizontally between the two supports, and a pair of left and right hooks that move up and down while engaging with the slide guide groove. A hanging rod and a movable hook that can be releasably engaged with the fixed hook are installed correspondingly on the mounting plate in an upwardly erect state, and the movable hook and the fixed hook are engaged with each other. The feature is that the mounting plate is assembled so that it can be moved up and down relative to the main body of the torii gate by releasing the action.

<Example> Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be specifically explained based on the illustrated example. In FIGS. 1 to 11 showing the entire torii for an informal Shinto altar, A is the torii main body, and the material is The frame is integrated into the form of a torii gate made from cypress wood. Although adhesive is used in the diagram as a means of joining materials to integrate the framework,
Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible to use various authentic wood joints.

In any case, the torii main body A consists of a pair of left and right supports 1.
1, and a mounting crosspiece 12 fixed and horizontally suspended from the lower ends of both supports 11. Reference numeral 13 designates slide guide grooves for raising and lowering the mounting plate which are recessed in the back surfaces of both supports 11, and the upper ends of each of the grooves are closed by plugs 14 fixed in the grooves. This stopper 14
Although not necessarily required, this allows the slide guide groove 13 to be easily cut over the entire length of the support column 11, which can be said to be beneficial for mass production.

Furthermore, as suggested from FIGS. 2 and 5, both ends of the mounting bar 12 are cut out in an L-shape in plan view, and one side of the mounting bar 12 is connected to the back surface of both supports 11. Therefore, the lower end of each slide guide groove 13 has a so-called tunnel shape. 15 is a fixed hook that is also integrally projected downward from the mounting bar 12, and is approximately L when viewed from the front.
It has a character shape and is located slightly to the left or to the right of the vertical center line Y-Y of the torii main body A. Moreover, in relation to the thickness of the material of the mounting bar 12, it hangs down from approximately the center position thereof. Reference numeral 16 indicates a dowel for attaching the fixing hook 15.

As is clear from Figures 4 and 5, the torii main body A as described above is attached to a mounting shelf 17 that is fixedly installed in advance on a lintel or nagashi in the building, and its mounting bar 12 is attached to a plurality of decorative nails 18 or It is mounted and used using other fixtures. And that installation shelf 1
Various well-known altars M are enshrined in 7. In other words, the torii of the present invention is installed and used as an accessory to the front of the existing Shinto altar M.

On the other hand, numeral 19 is a plate for placing offerings, which is separate and independent from the torii main body A, and is also made of Japanese cypress and has an overall approximately L-shape when viewed from the side, with a back plate 20 integrally standing upright. ing. This mounting plate 19 is set to have a length slightly wider than the mutual spacing between the pillars 11 in the torii main body A, and at both ends there are a stand box 21 for receiving sacred sake bottles and a stand serving as a flower stand. The boxes 22 are fixed as a pair on the left and right in a symmetrical form centering on the vertical center line Y-Y and in an upright state.

The base boxes 21 and 22 both have a rectangular box shape in plan view, but in the figure, each of them is integrated into a frame made of four plate pieces that are fitted together (see FIG. 12). In addition, the small and short stand boxes 21 are placed in parallel on the inside, and the large and tall stand boxes 22 are placed in parallel on the outside.

In any case, the base boxes 21 and 22 hold various types of pottery 23 and 24, such as sake bottles, that are inserted and set therein.
This protects the device from dangers such as falling and falling. As long as this purpose of protection can be achieved,
1 and 22 may be formed from L-shaped plate pieces distributed at the four corners so as to define the outline, instead of surrounding them as a complete square box.
According to this, cleaning of the stand boxes 21 and 22 can be done easily.

Further, reference numeral 25 denotes a pair of left and right hanging rods that are integrally vertically extended from the middle back plate 20 of the mounting plate 19, corresponding to both columns 11 of the torii main body A, and the slide guide grooves 13 of the columns 11. It is designed to be able to raise and lower its interior while engaging with it. Reference numeral 26 denotes a nail for attaching each of the hanging rods 25, but since the small platform box 21 is located immediately in front of the nail, these nails are not unsightly exposed from the front. In addition, since the hanging rod 25 is inserted into the tunnel portion of the slide guide groove 13, there is no risk of it coming off from within the groove toward the back of the column 11, and it can be correctly and smoothly moved along the slide guide groove 13 of the column 11. This will result in an upward and downward action.

Reference numeral 27 designates a slip-off prevention piece that is backed and fixed to the upper end of each hanging rod 25 with nails 28 or adhesive, and when this piece is lowered, it collides with the above-mentioned mounting bar 12 and locks the torii gate. There is no fear that the mounting plate 19 will fall off from the main body A. Reference numeral 29 denotes a movable hook that removably engages with the fixed hook 15 of the torii main body A, and is formed into an inverted L-shape when viewed from the front corresponding to the fixed hook 15. A knob piece 30 that also serves as a decoration and is exposed downward is continuous and integrated while penetrating through 19.

In other words, the slide operation lever B is formed from the movable hook 29 and the knob piece 30, and this engages with the slide guide elongated hole 31 opened in the mounting plate 19, and operates in the left and right direction. It is designed to be operated by sliding. In that case,
When the movable hook 29 of the operating lever B is locked to the fixed hook 15 of the torii main body A,
As suggested from Figures 1 and 2, the knob piece 30 is correctly positioned on the vertical center line Y-Y of the torii main body A, and the overall posture of the torii gate is maintained in a stable left-right balanced state without tilting. The elegant decorative makeup effect of the saucer and altar M is now being exhibited.

It is clear from FIG. 11 that the movable hook 29 of the operating lever B is in a position where it can come into surface contact with the mounting plate 19 and slide smoothly and correctly in the left and right directions. Placement plate 19
If the front edge of the container is bent slightly upward, it can be said to be beneficial because it will protect the dishes and other pottery placed on the container from falling.

<Function> Since the torii gate for an abbreviated Shinto altar of the present invention is constructed as described above, in the usage state shown in FIGS. , by releasing the locking action between the movable hook 29 and the fixed hook 15, the sixth,
As shown in Fig. 7, the mounting plate 19 can be lowered relative to the torii main body A, and therefore, it can be safely and easily placed onto the mounting plate 19 from a low position on the floor without requiring a separate stepladder or step stool. It is possible to easily place the offerings and the pottery 23, 24 for inserting and setting them.

Thereafter, the mounting plate 19 is raised from the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 to the state shown in FIGS. By being locked to the fixing hook 15, the mounting plate 19 can be locked in a stable mounting state in which it will not fall accidentally from the torii main body A.
During its lifting and lowering operation or when it is installed and used by lifting,
The above-mentioned pottery 23 and 24 are placed in a stand box 2 on a mounting plate 19.
Since it has been stably accepted within 1.22,
There is no risk of damage due to accidental tipping or falling.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the informal torii for a Shinto altar according to the present invention has two components: the torii main body A that is attached to the installation shelf 17 on which the Shinto altar M is placed, and the torii main body A.
A mounting plate 19 for offerings to the altar M, which is separate and independent from the
A pair of left and right columns 11 forming the torii gate body A are provided with a slide guide groove 13 for raising and lowering the mounting plate, and a mounting bar 12 fixed and horizontally suspended between the two columns 11 extends downwardly. While the fixed hook 15 is integrally extended, a pair of left and right hanging rods 25 engage with the slide guide groove 13 and move up and down, and a movable hook 29 can engage and detach from the fixed hook 15.
are installed correspondingly on the mounting plate 19 with both of them facing upward, and by releasing the locking action between the movable hook 29 and the fixed hook 15, the mounting plate 9 can be moved against the torii main body A. Since it is assembled so that it can be raised and lowered, it has the effect of completely solving the problems of the conventional technology mentioned at the beginning, and there is no need to prepare a separate stepladder or step stool, and even the elderly and children can use it without any danger. This makes it possible to easily carry out the work of lifting and unloading offerings to A, which is extremely convenient.

Particularly, as is clear from the illustrated embodiment, if the receiving boxes 21 and 22 for receiving the pottery 23 and 24 are attached and integrated in advance on the mounting plate 19 which is capable of lifting and lowering, the lifting and lowering operations can be performed. This can be said to be of great practical benefit in that it can reliably prevent accidents such as the ceramics 23 and 24 falling during the movement or once raised, and damage accidents caused by falling, further improving safety in use.
