[Prior art]

The inventors of this application have already made it possible to carry it freely,
Moreover, as a religious tool that allows you to worship anywhere you like, such as your living room, and when you are not worshiping, you can enshrine the Gohonzon 14 inside the lid body 9 as shown in Figure 6 A and B. and box body 10
Buddhist utensils, etc. are arranged inside, and when the lid 9 is opened, the Buddhist utensils, etc. rise up, and when the lid 9 is closed, the box 10
We are proposing Buddhist altars with storage boxes that can be stored inside. This is the religious implement of Jitsugan No. 171869 (1988).

[Problems with conventional technology]

However, in the case of religious utensils with a storage box shown in FIG. A space corresponding to the thickness of the lid body 9 must be left open, and since the lid body 9 is quite thick because the Gohonzon is enshrined inside, a considerable amount of space is left that is not always used. There was a problem in that it was not possible to make effective use of. Furthermore, there was the problem that having the Gohonzon, etc. lie face down when stored would cause some people to feel psychologically resistant to it, which would detract from the solemnity of the Buddhist altar.

The present invention was developed against this background, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide religious equipment that can utilize space effectively and maintain solemnity. It is.

[Means for solving problems of conventional technology]

The present invention was made to achieve such an objective, and the gist of the present invention is to:
It is a religious tool with a storage box that allows a mounting stand for placing Buddhist utensils and sacred objects, and a lid placed above the box to be raised upwards and lowered to its original position. a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering a mounting table; a box body for arranging the lifting mechanism therein; a mounting table attached to the upper end of the lifting mechanism and disposed so as to be able to go in and out of the box body; and a mounting table. and a lid integrally connected to the mounting table, and Buddhist utensils and sacred utensils disposed on the mounting table, and the elevating mechanism includes a pair of link members that are rotatably connected in an X-shape at an intermediate portion thereof. An upper guide member and a lower guide member are provided at both upper and lower ends of a set of elevating links, or at both upper and lower ends of multiple sets of elevating links in which each link member is rotatably connected vertically at the end. The upper guide member is capable of vertical movement while maintaining a parallel state to the lower guide member, and further includes spring means for biasing the upper end and the lower end of the elevating link in the direction of separating them. This is because a religious tool is constructed in which the mounting table and the lid can be moved up and down while always maintaining a state parallel to the original position. Here, religious utensils include Buddhist altars, Shinto altars, etc., and Buddhist utensils and Shinto implements are not limited to Buddhist utensils and sacred utensils in the narrow sense, but also include statues, images, names, sutras, and sacred objects of the Gohonzon and objects of worship. This includes products, etc.

[Effect]

In the religious utensils with a storage box configured as above, the mounting table placed inside the box appears upwards by the lifting mechanism, and is stored inside the box by pushing down, and is always parallel to the original position. It works to move up and down while maintaining its condition.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 to 3 show an example in which the religious implement with a storage box of the present invention is applied to a Buddhist altar. A Buddhist altar with a storage box includes a box body 98 with an open top, a mounting table 100 disposed inside the box body, a lid body 102 integrally attached to this, and an elevating mechanism disposed below the box body 98. It is equipped with a lift device 24 and the like. The lift device 24 will be described later, but its upper and lower ends are attached to the mounting table 100 and the bottom plate 101, respectively.

The mounting table 100 has a stepped top surface so that Buddhist utensils can be placed on it, and a suma altar 104 on the rear side.
A plate member 10 is provided on three sides for installing a palace 106, etc.

A hanging scroll 114 depicting the Gohonzon is removably placed inside the palace 106, and both sides of the palace 106 (not shown) are removably placed on both sides of the palace 106. Of course, in place of the hanging scroll 114, it is also possible to enshrine the principal Buddha statue. Note that the mounting table 100 has a box body 9
It is arranged with a gap between it and the inner surface of 8 so that it can be raised and lowered.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lift device 24 includes an elevating link component frame 32 formed by fixing a pair of opposing link members 26 and 28 to both ends of a connecting shaft 30 in the same direction and in parallel, and a similar link structure. Members 34, 36
A pair of elevating link constituent frames 40 consisting of a connecting shaft 38 and a link shaft 38
One set of elevating links 46 are rotatably connected at the intermediate portions of the two, and another set of elevating links 66 configured in the same manner are connected to connecting pins 68, 69, 70 at the ends of each link member. , 71, which are rotatably connected vertically.
In addition, as shown in FIG.
A pair of vertical link configuration frames 60, 6 consisting of 58
2 are rotatably connected by pins 64 and 65.

Both ends of each connecting shaft 30, 38, 56, 58 protrude outward to form a pin portion, and the connecting shaft 3
Both ends of the connecting shaft 30 are rotatably supported by lower guide members 74 and 76 attached to the bottom plate 101, and pin portions formed at both ends of the connecting shaft 30 are connected to the other end side of each lower guide member 74 and 76. It is slidably supported in elongated holes 78 and 80 provided in the. Further, both ends of the connecting shaft 58 are connected to an upper guide member 82,
84, and pin portions formed at both ends of the connecting shaft 56 are slidably supported by elongated holes 86, 88 at the other end. In addition, link member 2
6, 28, 34, and 36 have equal distances from the support pins 42, 44 that form the center of rotation to the connection shafts 30, 38, and from the support pins 42, 44 to the connection pins 68, 69, 70, and 71, respectively. The distances between the support pins 42, 44 and the connecting shaft 3 are made equal.
A line connecting the centers of 0 and 38 and the support pin 42,
44 and the centers of the connecting pins 68, 69, 70, 71 are always arranged to form equal isosceles triangles. The lifting link 66 is configured in the same manner, and includes support pins 64, 65 and connecting shafts 56, 58.
A line connecting each center of , support pin 64 and connection pin 6
A line connecting the centers of the pins 8 and 69 and a line connecting the centers of the support pin 65 and the connecting pins 70 and 71 always form an equal isosceles triangle. Moreover, each link member is fixed to both ends of the connecting shaft,
It is designed to prevent it from wobbling or twisting. Therefore, even when the upper guide members 82 and 84 move up and down due to changes in the opening angle of each link member, they are always kept parallel to the lower guide members 74 and 76. Therefore, the mounting table 1 attached to the upper guide members 82 and 84
00 is always parallel to the bottom plate 102 to which the lower guide members 74, 76 are attached. Furthermore, tension springs 90 and 91 are tensioned between the connecting shafts 30 and 38 and between the connecting shafts 56 and 58, and bias the upper ends of each link member toward each other. Therefore, the upper guide members 82, 84 receive a force in the direction of pushing upward.

A mounting table 100 is attached to the upper surface side of the upper guide members 82 and 84 with a gap between it and the inner surface of the box body 98 that can be raised and lowered. shaped member 108
A lid body 1102 is attached via.

When the lid body 102 is pushed down and closed, the lift device 24 is pushed down against the tensile forces of the tension springs 90 and 91 as shown in FIG. 2, and this state is maintained. That is, when the lift device 24 is pushed down to the lowest position, the rotational moment of each link member due to the tension springs 90 and 91 becomes very small, and the box 98 is kept in a closed state. Next, when the lid 102 is lifted slightly upward by a finger or the like, the tension springs 90 and 91 act, and the mounting table 100 and the lid 102 are lifted out of the box 98 by the lift device 24. Mounting table 100 and lid body 102
The highest position of is regulated by the connecting shafts 30, 56 and the ends of each elongated hole, but a stopper may be provided separately.

When the lid 102 is pushed down, the box 98 is covered and held in that state. When the lid body 102 is lifted slightly, the lift device 24 acts and the lid body 102 is lifted up.
and the mounting table 100 rises. And the mounting table 10
0 moves up and down while always maintaining a parallel or horizontal state to the bottom plate 101.

In the embodiment configured as described above, when the lid body 102 and the mounting stand 100 are raised, the hanging scroll of the palace or the principal image appears, and at the same time, the Buddhist utensils on the mounting stand 100 also appear, so that worship as a Buddhist altar can be started immediately. It becomes possible. When the lid body 102 is pushed down, the hanging scroll of the palace or the principal image is stored inside, and the Buddhist altar items on the mounting stand 100 are also pulled downward and stored in the box body 98 as they are. Therefore, it is possible to carry it to a living room or the like and worship at the Buddhist altar, and if the lid is closed, the altar will not get dusty and customers will not know about the existence of the Buddhist altar.

Although the above embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a Buddhist altar, it is also possible to apply it to a household altar.

In the above embodiment, a compression spring (for example, bamboo shoot spring, helical spring, etc.) is provided on the bottom plate 101,
The mounting table 100 at the lowest position is biased in the upward direction, and removable latching means is provided between the box body, the lid body, the mounting table, etc., and the lid is removed by removing the latching means. The mounting table may be raised together with the body and then locked at the original position by being pushed down. Further, the number of lifting links combined in an X shape of the lift device 24 may be increased to three or more stages. It has the advantage of increasing the lifting and lowering process. Of course, it is also possible to reduce the number to one stage.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment in any way, and it goes without saying that it can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. .

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the following effects.

The mounting stand and lid body for placing Buddhist utensils and sacred objects are
It can be made to appear or stored above the box, so it can be placed along the indoor wall.
Space can be used effectively. Also,
Since the Gohonzon and the object of worship can be raised and lowered in the same posture, there is no sense of resistance to having the Gohonzon and object of worship lying down, which would be the case if the object of worship is placed inside an open lid, thereby avoiding loss of solemnity. I can do it.
