(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a bone ash tower and more particularly, to a tower rack structure for bone ash tower.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
After death, a corpse may be placed into the ground. Burial prevents the living from having to see and smell the decomposing corpse, but it is not necessarily a public health requirement. Because of limited land space and the development of environmental protection, cremation has been widely accepted to replace. Cremation is disposition of a human corpse by burning in a crematorium furnace or crematory fire. After cremation, the bone ash is collected in a jar, and the bon ahs jar may be kept in a compartment inside a bon ash tower for save-keeping. A conventional bone ash tower comprises a multi8ple racks each having multiple compartments. Each compartment is equipped with an access door for accommodating a bone ash jar. The access door may carry an embossed religious sign, showing dignity. A rack for bone ash tower of this design gives no special to people.
The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a tower rack structure for bone ash tower, which gives an environment of silent dignity. It is another object of the present invention to provide a tower rack structure for bone ash tower, which gives a visual effect.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the tower rack structure for bone ash tower comprises a rack frame, which comprises a plurality of partition boards and a plurality of compartments surrounded by the partition boards, a case mounted in one compartment, the case comprising a holding space and a door mounted inside the holding space and dividing the holding space into a rear chamber for accommodating a bon ash jar and a front chamber, a light transmissive cover with an embossed design made out of glaze, glass, acrylic, or plastics, and capped on the front chamber of the case, and light emitting diodes installed in the rack frame and controlled to emit light through the light transmissive cover.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the case has a depth greater than the compartments such that the front chamber of the case is disposed outside the rack frame after installation of the case in one compartment. Therefore, when light from the light emitting diodes goes through the light transmissive cover, a visual effect is produced.
According to still another aspect of the present invention, the door is comprised of two swinging door panels hinged to the inside of the associating compartment at two sides.
The foregoing object and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way.

Referring to
The case 2 is a rectangular container fitted into one compartment 12. The case 2 has a depth greater than the compartments 12. After installation of the case 2 in one compartment 12, the front side of the case 2 protrudes over the front side of the associating compartment 12. Further, a door 21 is installed in the case 2 to divide the inside space of the case 2 into a rear chamber 23 for accommodating a bone ash jar 4 and a front chamber 22 disposed outside the associating compartment 12. The door 21 is kept in alignment with the front side of the rack frame 1. According to this embodiment, the door 21 is formed of two swinging door panels.
Referring to
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
