Abstract

A columbarium, particularly for accommodating cinerary urns, comprising:
    • a frame in which containment niches for the cinerary urns are formed in a honeycomb arrangement,
    • a panel for covering at least one portion of a face of the columbarium, onto which a plurality of openings for accessing the niches opens.
Elements for moving the panel are also provided which can be actuated for passing:
    • from a first configuration, in which the panel covers the portion of the face, concealing the access openings,
    • to a second configuration, in which the panel is spaced from the portion of the face, to expose the access openings,
    • and vice versa.

Description

  • The present invention relates to a columbarium, particularly for accommodating cinerary urns.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Columbariums are currently known which have a frame in which niches for accommodating cinerary urns are formed in a honeycomb arrangement.
  • Such columbariums substantially have a vertical parallelepiped-like structure, in which the niches formed therein have access openings that open onto one face of the columbarium.
  • The access openings can be closed by means of plates that substantially hang from the frame of the columbarium and generally comprise ceramic tiles on which sacred images, painted or printed thereon, are usually depicted and are arranged mutually adjacent so as to cover the face of the columbarium.
  • This type of columbarium has some drawbacks, which include the fact that the plates that cover the niches of the columbarium hang from the frame of such columbarium by means of hooks, and in order to disengage them it is necessary to use a suitable tool that supports the tile while it is moved during release.
  • Moreover, currently this type of columbarium does not ensure that the niches cannot be violated; it is in fact sufficient to have the tool adapted to remove the covering tiles of the niches in order to open them and access them.
  • Moreover, since the tiles are generally heavy, opening the niches is not easy.
  • Another drawback of these columbariums is that the sacred image shown on the face of the columbarium is interrupted by the edges of the tiles, which when arranged side by side form the surface of the face, to the full disadvantage of its aesthetics.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The aim of the present invention is to provide a columbarium particularly for accommodating cinerary urns that allows easier access to the urn containment niches.
  • Within this aim, an object of the invention is to ensure that the niches that accommodate the cinerary urns cannot be violated by unauthorized users.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a columbarium that is structurally simple and easy to use and can be manufactured with low costs.
  • This aim and these and other objects, which will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a columbarium, particularly for accommodating cinerary urns, comprising a frame in which containment niches for said cinerary urns are formed in a honeycomb arrangement, characterized in that it comprises a panel for covering at least one portion of the face of said columbarium, onto which a plurality of openings for accessing said niches opens, means for moving said panel being provided which can be actuated for passing:
      • from a first configuration, in which said panel covers said at least one face portion, to conceal said access openings,
      • to a second configuration, in which said panel is spaced from said at least one face portion, to expose said access openings,
      • and vice versa.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the columbarium according to the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a columbarium according to the invention in its first configuration;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the columbarium according to the invention in its second configuration;

  • The columbarium 10 according to the invention comprises a panel 14 for covering at least one portion 15 a of a face 15 of the columbarium 10, onto which a plurality of openings 16 for accessing the niches 13 opens.
  • Means 17 for moving the panel 14 are provided and can be actuated for transition:
      • from a first configuration, in which the panel 14 covers the portion 15 a of the face 15, concealing the access openings 16,
      • to a second configuration, in which the panel 14 is spaced from the portion 15 a of the face 15, leaving the access openings 16 exposed,
      • and vice versa.
  • Advantageously, doors 18 for closing the access openings 16 are provided which are hinged on the face 15 and can be closed independently of each other onto the access openings 16.
  • Conveniently, there are locks 19 for locking the doors 18 so that they are closed on the access openings 16 of the niches 13 in order to prevent access to the niches 13 by unauthorized users.
  • Conveniently, the movement means 17 comprise at least one hinge 20 for connecting the panel 14 to the frame 12.
  • Preferably, the frame 12 is substantially shaped like a parallelepiped and is vertical, and has, proximate to its upper end, the panel 14 hinged so that it can oscillate.
  • Conveniently, the movement means 17 comprise means for supporting the panel 14 so that it is spaced, by lifting, from the face 15 in the second configuration.
