BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Technical Field 
         [0002]    A combination structure of a cinerary urn comprises an inner jug, an outer jug and locking keys. The outer jug can be separated. The inner jug can be put into the separated outer jug and the separated outer jug can be closed by means of several locking keys so as to achieve the object of easily getting access to and encapsulating the bone ash. 
         [0003]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0004]    Cinerary/bone ash urns are well-known in prior art, and typically have a lid, a jug body and an inner jug. The main purposes of the structure of the known cinerary urns are to keep the cinerary urns from being humidified, fire, separating, falling on the ground due to accidents such as earthquake. 
         [0005]    For example, Taiwan utility model patent No. 304331, entitled “improved structure of cinerary urn,” discloses a cinerary urn has an inner jug and an outer jug is made of glass fiber material so as to prevent the jug body from breaking. However, there is not any effort to keep the bone ash from being humidified or to easily get access to the bone ash. 
         [0006]    Further, Taiwan utility model patent No. 284370, entitled “combination structure of cinerary urn,” discloses a cinerary urn has an inner jug. A flange on a lid of the inner jug is used to be snapped with protrusions and snapping supporters on the inner wall of the inner jug so as to seal the inner jug and to prevent the inner jug from being separated. However, it is laborious to close or open the inner jug, and it is not easy to get access to the bone ash. 
         [0007]    Still further, Taiwan utility model patent No. 279335, entitled “improved structure of cinerary urn,” discloses a cinerary urn has an outer jug, an outer lid, an inner jug and an inner lid. The inner lid has a plurality of uneven bend flanges to serve as shock absorbers. The inner lip is laterally rotated to be firmly attached to the inner jug by mean of slope so as to seal the inner jug and to prevent the inner jug from being separated. However, it is laborious to close or open the inner jug, and it is not easy to get access to the bone ash. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Embodiment 1 
       [0022]    Referring to  FIG. 1 , a cinerary/bone ash urn according to the present invention comprises a bone ash inner jug, a bone ash jug and locking structure. The bone ash inner jug  30  is made of plastic material, such PE, PP, ABS, PS, PC, fireproof plastic material, and so on, and comprises a bone ash inner jug right portion  34  and a bone ash inner jug left portion  33 . The bone ash inner jug right portion  34  and the bone ash inner jug left portion  33  both are capsule-like in shape, and comprise bone ash cavity  35  for receiving bone ash  32 . The bone ash inner jug right portion  34  is longer than the bone ash inner jug left portion  33  and has an external thread  31  so as to be engaged with an internal thread  35  of the bone ash inner jug left portion  33  and then to encapsulate the bone ash  32 . The bone ash inner jug right portion  34  and the bone ash inner jug left portion  33  can be engaged with each other by snapping. 
         [0023]    Referring to  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , the bone ash jug  1  according to the present invention comprises a bone ash jug left portion  10  and a bone ash jug right portion  20 . The bone ash jug left portion  10  and the bone ash jug right portion  20  respectively have a bone ash jug left room  11  and a bone ash jug right room  21  for receiving the bone ash inner jug  30  which encapsulates the bone ash  35 . In addition, the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10  have a pair of right magnet rods  12  with exposed cathodes and a pair of left magnet rods  13  with exposed cathodes, which are located on the both sides of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10 . The front end  26  of the bone ash jug left portion  20  have a pair of left magnet bars  22  with exposed anodes and a pair of right magnet bars  23  with exposed anodes, which are located on the both sides of the front end  26  of the bone ash jug right portion  20  corresponding to the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13 . 
         [0024]    Then, the bone ash inner jug  30  which is in capsulate-like shape and contains the bone ash  32  is put into the bone ash jug right room  21  of the bone ash jug right portion  20 . Moreover, the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes which is located near the four corners of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10  will be moved or approached to the left and right magnet bars  22  and  23  with the exposed anodes which is located near the four corners of the front end  26  of the bone ash jug left portion  20 . The magnetic forces between the left and right magnet bars  22  and  23  with the exposed anodes and the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes will force the bone ash jug left portion  10  and the bone ash jug left portion  20  to be firmly attached to each other. 
         [0025]    When the cinerary urn  1  needs to be opened, the bone ash jug left portion  10  and the bone ash jug right portion  20  need to be pivoted in relation to each other on the rear combination line  90  in horizontal direction so as to separate the front combination line  91  of the bone ash jug  1 . Then, the angle between the bone ash jug left portion  10  and the bone ash jug right portion  20  on the axis of the rear combination line  90  is increased, and the bone ash jug left portion  10  and the bone ash jug right portion  20  will be separated such that the inner jug  30  can be put into or took out from the bone ash jug  1 . 
         [0026]    Further, the bone ash jug  1  also can be opened on the axis of the front combination line  91 , and the similar method can be used to open the bone ash jug  1  on the axis of an upper combination line  92  or a lower combination line  93 . In addition, ferromagnetic materials can be used in place of the magnet bars  22  and  23  with the exposed anodes or the magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes, and only one side is kept the same and the other is replaced with ferromagnetic materials, such as iron plates or steel plates. 
       Embodiment 2 
       [0027]    Referring to  FIG. 2-1  and  FIG. 3 , two locking component  50  are installed on the both sides of the bone ash jug right portion  20  corresponding to the right magnet rods  12  and the left magnet rods  13  on the four corners of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10 . The locking component  50  comprises a pressing bottom  51 , a rotator  52 , locking control blocks  53 , a component supporter  54 , and a compression spring  55 . The rotator  52  comprises a receiving hole  522  and a rotating rod  524 . The locking control block  53  comprises a controller guiding rod  534 , an open and close controller  530 , a plate compression spring  535  and internal grooves  533 . 
         [0028]    The compression spring  55  is horizontally put on the rotating rod  524  of the rotator  52 , and the rotating rod  524  of the rotator  52  is put into the component supporter  54 . Further, a pressing bottom shaft  510  of the pressing bottom  51  is installed into the receiving  522  of the rotator  52 , and then the pair of the locking control blocks  53  is located above and below the rotator  52 . 
         [0029]    When the bone ash jug  1  need to be opened, the pressing bottom  51  will be pressed and a protrusion  511  located on the front of the pressing bottom  51  will contact a slant  523  of the rotator  52  such that a torque generated by the horizontal force between the pressing bottom  51  and the slant  523  rotates the rotator  52 . A tongue  520  of the rotator  52  is rotated following the rotation of the rotator  52  so as to push the controller guiding rod  534  out of a positioning trough  525  of the tongue  520 . Then, the controller guiding rod  534  slides alone by a curved slant  526  until the controller guiding rod  534  is moved to a positioning trough  521  of the tongue  520 . At the same time, the compression spring  55  located between the rotator  52  and the component supporter  54  horizontally pushes the rotator  52  and the pressing bottom  51  back to the original location after the rotator  52  is rotated by 90 degrees. When the controller guiding rod  534  is in the positioning trough  521  of the tongue  520 , the open and close controllers  530  of the locking control blocks  53  will be move up and down due to the spring force of the plate compression spring  535  and due to the gap between the tongue  520  and the positioning trough  521 , and then will be located in a lower position. A positive magnet plate  531  and a negative magnet plate  532  of the open and close controllers  530  is moved downward in the internal grooves  533  such that the negative magnet plate  532  of the open and close controllers  530  is positioned corresponding to the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes around the four corners of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10 . 
         [0030]    In this case, the magnetic repulsive force between the same polarities separates the bone ash jug left portion  10  and the bone ash jug right portion  20  so as to open the bone ash jug  1 . 
         [0031]    When the bone ash jug  1  need to be closed, the controller guiding rod  534  in the positioning trough  525  of the tongue  520  is pushed outward and slides alone by the curved slant  526  of the tongue  520  until the controller guiding rod  534  is moved to the lower position in the positioning trough  521  of the tongue  520 . The pressing bottom  51  is pressed again, the above mentioned movement will be repeated and the controller guiding rod  534  in the positioning trough  521  of the tongue  520  is pushed upward and slides alone by the curved slant  526  of the tongue  520  until the controller guiding rod  534  is moved to the higher position in the positioning trough  525  of the tongue  520 . The positive magnet plate  531  and the negative magnet plate  532  of the open and close controllers  530  is moved upward in the internal grooves  533  such that the positive magnet plate  532  of the open and close controllers  530  is positioned corresponding to the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes around the four corners of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10 . 
         [0032]    In this case, the magnetic attractive force between the different polarities combines the bone ash jug left portion  10  and the bone ash jug right portion  20  together so as to close the bone ash jug  1 . Further, the negative magnet plate  532  of the open and close controllers  530  can be replaced by the non-ferromagnetic materials, such as plastic materials, non-ferrous metal materials, and so on. 
       Embodiment 3 
       [0033]    Referring to  FIG. 2-1  and  FIG. 4 , two locking component  60  according to another embodiment of the present invention are installed on both sides of the bone ash jug right portion  20  corresponding to the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes around the four corners of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10 . The locking component  60  comprises a pressing key  64 , a rotating switch shaft  62 , a close controller paddle  61 , and a curved transfer supporter  63 . The pressing key  64  comprises a key  640  and a rear compression spring  645 . The curved transfer supporter  63  comprises an arc switch supporter  630  and a back compression spring  632 . 
         [0034]    The close controller paddle  61  is installed on a front core shaft  620  of the rotating switch shaft  62 , and a stop key  626  is inserted into the front core shaft  620  and a key way  610  of the close controller paddle  61  so as to keep the close controller paddle  61  from rotating in relation to the switch shaft  62 . Then, the curved transfer supporter  63  is attached to the rotating switch shaft  62  from the rear side of the rotating switch shaft  62 , and the pressing key  64  is laterally installed to the locking component assembly  600 . 
         [0035]    When the bone ash jug  1  need to be opened, the pressing key  64  will be pressed frontward such that two fin protrusions  641  on the upper and the lower sides of the shaft body  644  of the pressing key  64  is moved against a fin  621  of the rotating switch shaft  62  to push forward the rotating switch shaft  62 . An arc protrusion  622  installed on the rear portion of the rotating switch shaft  62  has an arc slant  623  which is against the curved transfer supporter  63 , rises alone by a curved slant  634  of the curved transfer supporter  63  through a high point  631  of the curved transfer supporter  63 , and falls to a low point  635 . As thus, the curved transfer supporter  63  is rotated by 180 degrees and a positive magnet bar  611  (also known as a different polarity magnet bar) is rotated to the downside and a negative magnet bar  612  (also known as a same polarity magnet bar) is rotated to the upside, the position of which is corresponding to the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes around the four corners of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10 , so as to generate the magnetic repulsive force between the same polarities and to open the bone ash jug  1 . 
         [0036]    When the pressing key  64  is released, the spring force of the rear compression spring  645  will push the pressing key  64  back to the original position through a guiding slope  642  of the fin protrusions  641   
         [0037]    When the bone ash jug  1  need to be closed, only the pressing key  64  need to be pressed again and the curved transfer supporter  63  rotates as the way mentioned above such that the positive magnet bar  611  is rotated to the upside and the negative magnet bar  612  is rotated to the downside, the position of which is corresponding to the right and left magnet rods  12  and  13  with the exposed cathodes around the four corners of the rear end  16  of the bone ash jug left portion  10 . The magnetic attractive force between the different polarities is generated and the bone ash jug  1  is closed. The negative magnet bar  612  on the close controller paddle  61  can be replaced by the non-ferromagnetic materials, such as plastic materials, non-ferrous metal materials, and so on.
