STUPA STAND

PURPOSE:To minimize dramatically an installation area required for setting up a 'stupa' or (a tall, narrow wooden tablet installed behind a grave) stand by fixing a pair of upper and lower frames, whose cross section front opening is groove-shaped, with one post. CONSTITUTION:A 'stupa' stand is formed by fixing at least a pair of upper and lower main body holding frames 23 with one post 21 where the front opening of the main body holding frames is groove-shaped in cross section. The post 21 is formed with a metal pipe, such as a stainless steel pipe or an aluminum pipe having corrosion resistant properties. The main body holding frames are generally made of an equivalent material. They are welded with the post 21 so as to fix. An engagement part 25 is installed to one side of the holding frames 23. A connection holding frame 27 whose cross section front opening is groove-shaped, is connected to one side or both sides of the main body holding frames 23 as required. The groove in the vertical direction is tapered or adapted to form a stopper so that it may not slip. When the groove in the vertical direction is exposed, the head of the post 21 is driven with a wooden hammer and fixed in the ground. When more than two 'stupa' are erected, a required number of connection holding fames are mounted to the upper and lower main body holding frames 23 by way of the engagement part 25 and then the 'stupa' age inserted into from the upper part of each of the holding frames 23 and 27.
