Description

The The present invention relates to an animal coffin, in particular of light weight rotatable cardboard, with a cup-shaped lower part and a cup-shaped lid part, wherein the lower part and the lid part in each case from a separate foldable blank are made.

For each Animal owner comes sometime the moment in which he breaks away from his Darling must say goodbye. A painful moment. You lose often a loyal friend and an important companion.

For children It is often the first encounter with death. But also for adults is it a topic that wants to be processed. Either alone or in the circle of friends and family.

Understandably allowed to Pets are not to be buried in any places. Even in the own garden is under German law this only for animals up to a weight of max. 10 kg allowed, unless the plot is located on a groundwater conservation area.

Around Nevertheless, animal cemeteries were erected on a reasonable basis Animals of any kind are buried in a coffin without any problems can be.

It are already various proposals for the production and the Construction of animal saws known. Different from coffins made of metal or plastic Made of wood or cardboard Coffins ecologically mostly degradable and in that regard harmless.

With the FR 2 601 088 A1 For example, a dismountable in its parts wooden Tiersarg is known, which consists of a bottom plate, a corresponding cover plate with the same shape and side walls, which are interconnected by grooved corner pillars, engage in the grooves of the side walls. The position and shape of the grooves is matched to the respective side wall. Floor and cover plate are fixed with a screw connection, so that an enclosed on all sides by wooden walls cuboid arises. The casket for a pet is either delivered assembled or assembled at the funeral home itself. For this purpose, the cornerstones are fixed to the bottom plate with a screw in a first step. Thereafter, in further steps, one side wall after the other is inserted both into the grooves of two adjacent corner pillars and into the corresponding groove of the bottom plate. The coffin is very unstable during these steps of the construction and tilting of individual side walls in the grooves is inevitable. Accordingly, in a further step, the pet bedded in the coffin and the cover plate is placed so that the side walls engage in the groove of the cover plate. The coffin is fixed with a screw connection, by the cover plate, as well as the bottom plate, with the corner pillars is screwed accordingly. The disadvantage is the large number of parts noticeable, which not only make the production but also the assembly more expensive, since the latter can usually only be done by experienced in dealing with wood persons.

To avoid this are in the from the DE 202 00 364 U1 known wooden Tiersarg plugged elements, which connect all wall panels directly to each other, so that this Tiersarg is also assembled by untrained persons. However, additionally provided gluing and / or screwing also lead to an increased expenditure of time. Also fall due to the higher weight of the wood parts usually higher shipping costs than buildable from verrottbarem cardboard material coffins.

Such, made of cardboard animal cages are in particular from the DE 197 09 901 A1 as well as the generic DE 296 15 142 U1 known. Depending on the required size, these coffins are made of two foldable cardboard blanks and flocked inside and / or outside with textile fibers to improve the aesthetic effect. The disadvantage, however, is that when dispensing with additional adhesives such as adhesive strips and / or adhesives, etc., the folded lid and bottom parts can easily spring open.

From the DE 93 18 835 U1 is also known to fold the lid and the bottom part of cardboard. In addition, a existing of a wooden profile Verstreifungsrahmen is disclosed, which is inserted between the bottom and cover part.

From the AT 352 269 is a stiffening frame made of cardboard known, but which is integrally formed directly on the bottom part.

Finally, be on the DE 297 01 237 U1 pointed, whose only one blank is relatively expensive to unfold.

Of these, The present invention is based on the object, one alike inexpensive, ecological To create a safe and attractive casket for animals, which saves space Store, ship and quickly in a form-stable state of use bring, without additional Use adhesive to have to.

These Task is by a Tiersarg according to the features of the independent claim 1 solved. Advantageous training and further education, which individually or in combination can be used together are the subject of the dependent Claims.
