Structure for containing cinerary urns and furnerary items in general
A structure for containing cinerary urns and funerary items in general, which comprises a plurality of modular elements, such modular elements comprising: a plurality of box-like bodies, each one defining, within it, at least one niche for accommodating at least one cinerary urn and/or at least one funerary item and having a front face which is provided with at least one access opening; a plurality of elements for mutually joining such box-like bodies, which have at least one connecting portion adapted to be fixed to the front face of the box-like bodies arranged mutually adjacent; a plurality of profiled finishing elements designed to cover such joining elements at least partially; a plurality of retention bodies designed to be fixed with respect to such box-like bodies and adapted to peripherally engage closing plates, which are respectively intended for closing the openings of such box-like bodies.
1. A funerary structure for containing cinerary urns and funerary items, wherein said structure comprises a plurality of modular elements comprising:
a plurality of box-shaped bodies, each one of the box-shaped bodies defining, within said each one of the box-shaped bodies, at least one corresponding niche for accommodating at least one cinerary urn and/or at least one funerary item, and having a rear face, side faces, and a front face which is provided with at least one access opening to the corresponding niche, said box-shaped bodies arranged mutually adjacent, with their side faces, along at least two mutually perpendicular directions;
a plurality of joining elements for mutually joining said box-shaped bodies, which have at least one connecting portion fixed to the front face of the box-shaped bodies arranged mutually adjacent;
a plurality of profiled finishing elements covering said joining elements at least partially; and
a plurality of retention bodies fixed with respect to said box-shaped bodies and peripherally engaging closing plates, which respectively close the openings of said box-shaped bodies.
2. The funerary structure according to claim 1 , wherein said joining elements are adapted to mutually connect corner areas of the front faces of the box-shaped bodies arranged mutually adjacent.
3. The funerary structure according to claim 1 , wherein said joining elements each have at least two connecting portions which extend substantially at right angles to each other and each of which can be fixed to respective areas of the front face of said box-shaped bodies.
4. The funerary structure according to claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of connector blocks intended to be arranged between contiguous ends of said profiled finishing elements and intended to be fixed to a portion for locking said joining elements interposed between said connecting portions.
5. The funerary structure according to claim 4 , wherein said joining elements have, on said connecting portions, first holes for accommodating first screws, which can be inserted from an outside of said box-shaped bodies and are adapted to fix said joining elements to the front faces of said box-shaped bodies, and second holes for accommodating second screws adapted to fix said profiled finishing elements to said joining elements.
6. The funerary structure according to claim 5 , wherein said joining elements have, at corresponding locking portions, at least another hole for accommodating a third screw for fixing a respective connector block.
7. The funerary structure according to claim 4 , wherein in said connector blocks there is at least one engagement seat for a locking screw of a respective retention body.
8. The funerary structure according to claim 4 , wherein said connector blocks have at least one indentation adapted to engage corresponding abutment seats defined peripherally around the portion for locking said joining elements.
9. The funerary structure according to claim 4 , wherein said joining elements comprise, at said connecting portions, raised abutment portions, which are mutually opposite and adapted to engage edges of the openings of two contiguous box-shaped bodies.
10. The funerary structure according to claim 4 , wherein said profiled finishing elements have edgings in relief, mutually opposite with respect to an axis of said profiled finishing elements and adapted to abut against mutually opposite edges of the connecting portions of said joining elements.
11. The funerary structure according to claim 1 , further comprising means for mutual connection between said box-shaped bodies, which are adapted to act on the rear face of said box-shaped bodies.
