Cremains container having buried image

Abstract

A cremains container includes a container body (10), a cover (20) mounted on the container body, and a determined amount of filling powder (30) provided in the container body and the cover. The container body is made of transparent material. The container body has an interior formed with a receiving space (12) and has a periphery provided with a hollow portion (111) receiving the filling powder. The cover is made of transparent material and has an interior provided with a hollow portion (21) receiving the filling powder. Thus, the filling powder in the container body and the cover conceals the receiving space of the container body to prevent the receiving space of the container body from being viewed directly by a person outside of the container body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(6) Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-3, a cremains container 1 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a container body 10, a cover 20 mounted on the container body 10, and a determined amount of filling powder 30 provided in the container body 10 and the cover 20. The container body 10 is made of transparent material. The container body 10 has an interior formed with a receiving space 12 for receiving cremains. The container body 10 has a periphery provided with a hollow portion 111 receiving the filling powder 30. The cover 20 is made of transparent material. The cover 20 has an interior provided with a hollow portion 21 receiving the filling powder 30. Thus, the filling powder 30 in the container body 10 and the cover 20 conceals the receiving space 12 of the container body 10 to prevent the cremains in the receiving space 12 of the container body 10 from being viewed directly by a person outside of the container body 10, so that the person outside of the container body 10 only sees the filling powder 30 and cannot see the cremains in the receiving space 12 of the container body 10.

(7) In practice, the people outside of the cremains container 1 only see the filling powder 30 in the container body 10 and the cover 20 and cannot see the cremains in the receiving space 12 of the container body 10, so that it looks like the cremains are buried in the earth, to produce a buried image, which means that burial brings peace to the deceased, and to provide an auspicious effect.

(8) In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container body 10 includes a plurality of walls 11 combined together, and the receiving space 12 of the container body 10 is defined by the walls 11. The hollow portion 111 of the container body 10 is formed in each of the walls 11 of the container body 10.

(9) In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filling powder 30 is made of soil, sand or mineral.

(10) In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container body 10 has an open upper end provided with a mounting seat 13, and the cover 20 has a periphery provided with a cover rim 22 mounted on the mounting seat 13 of the container body 10. Thus, the cover 20 is mounted on the container body 10 to cover the receiving space 12 of the container body 10.

(11) In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container body 10 has a surface provided with patterns, figures or characters by a laser sculpture technology to enhance the aesthetic quality of the container body 10.

(12) In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the filling powder 30 is mixed with a crystal, agate or jade to enhance the value of the cremains container 1.

(13) In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container body 10 is made of hard material, such as a crystal or glass.

(14) Referring to FIG. 4, the container body 40 is formed integrally with an enclosing wall 401 with inner and outer interlinings, and the receiving space 12 of the container body 10 is defined by the enclosing wall 401. The hollow portion 402 of the container body 10 is formed in the enclosing wall 401 of the container body 10. The container body 40 has an open bottom, and a seal cap 41 is mounted in the open bottom of the container body 40. The receiving space 12 of the container body 10 has an open end provided with an inner cap 14 to protect the cremains in the receiving space 12 of the container body 10.

(15) Referring to FIG. 5, the cremains container 1 has an oblong shape. Alternatively, the cremains container 1 has a rectangular, circular or polygonal shape.

(16) Accordingly, the people outside of the cremains container 1 only see the filling powder 30 in the container body 10 and the cover 20 and cannot see the cremains in the receiving space 12 of the container body 10, so that it looks like the cremains are buried in the earth, to produce a buried image, which means that burial brings peace to the deceased and the live, and to provide an auspicious effect.
