THE CIRCULAR POLYETHYLENE (PE) FLOATING FISH CAGE SYSTEM AND ITS METHOD OF MANUFACTURE 5 Field of the Invention
This invention is about a knockdown circular polyethylene floating fish cage and its construction method. In particular, this invention deals with a circular floating fish cage that can be precisely and easily dismantled and reassembled with the purpose of convenience in transporting it from the manufacturing factory to a fish breeding location or relocating the 10 floating fish cage as well as the convenience of maintenance and its construction method.
Background of the Invention
This invention is an improvement of the previous applications in the field of floating fish cages among others: application No. P00200900480 and No. P00200900481, both of 15 which were registered on August 31, 2009; No P00201000291 on 22 April 2010; No. P00201100079 on January 27, 2011; and P00201200014 on January 12,2012.
In fish breeding, one of the most frequently used floating fish cages is the circular floating fish cage. Circular floating fish cage provide a vast cultivating area required for the breeding of fast swimming fish such as tuna and milk fish. 20 However, the circular floating fish cage on the market is impractical and expensive.
This is due to the fact that this circular floating fish cage is usually made with butt fusion method. Butt fusion method requires that all equipment and components used in manufacturing the circular floating fish cage be taken to the coast near the site of the breeding. The equipment includes an electric generator, but fusion machines, and a pair of 25 large trucks, while the components include polyethylene pipes and other components of 2 2012372445 12 Apr 2017 polyethylene pipes. The equipment and components are very difficult and time consuming to be transported.
In addition to logistical difficulties encountered in the process of making a circular floating fish cage with butt fusion method, another obstacle is that this process requires a 5 lot of space. The process of making a circular floating fish cage with butt fusion method requires more space than the diameter a circular floating fish cage, which is not always available near the site ofbreeding.
Another difficulty encountered in manufacturing the circular floating fish cage with butt fusion method is that all these processes should be conducted in a place near the site of 10 breeding. Such processes as (a) curving polyethylene pipe with a pair of trucks to join both ends of the pipe, (b) heating both ends of the pipe to be joined with a hot plate using electricity from an electric generator, and (c) attaching both ends of the pipe with butt fusion machine using the power from an electric generator, must be conducted at the site of breeding and are very costly. 15 The circular floating fish cage with butt fusion method also has a disadvantage as the floating device consists of only a unit of space, so if there is a leakage the entire system will be flooded with water and sink. In addition, a circular floating fish cage with butt fusion method cannot be dismantled so it does not enable the relocation of the cage.
In response to the above mentioned points, "The Circular Polyethylene (PE) 20 Floating Fish Cage System and Its Method of Manufacture" comes with a circular floating fish cage which may address some of the abovementioned issues. The circular floating fish cage made by this process consists of curved sections which can be joined with stainless steel bolts to form an intact circular floating fish cage.
Unlike the manufacturing of circular floating fish cage with butt fusion method, the 25 process of making a circular floating fish cage with 'The Circular Polyethylene (PE) 2012372445 12 Apr 2017 3
Floating Fish Cage System and Its Method of Manufacture" which can be dismantled and reassembled does not require the manufacturing process to be carried out right on the sea shore. This is replaced by the process of assembling the curved section previously made in the factory using stainless steel bolts. This process, therefore, can reduce the difficulty of 5 the existing logistics and transportation costs.
By using a circular floating fish cage with "The Circular Polyethylene (PE) Floating Fish Cage System and Its Method of Man ufacture", the assembling does not require a large area. In contrast, the curved section can float on the water and the assembling process can be done on the sea. 10 As 'The Circular Polyethylene (PE) Floating Fish Cage System and Its Method of
Manufacture" consists of a number of curved sections which can be combined into a single circular floating fish cage, a leakage in the curved section will not sink the whole system of cage. In case of a leakage, it is only the broken curved section that needs to be replaced and the floating fish cage will function as before. In addition, the "The Circular Polyethylene 15 (PE) Floating Fish Cage System and Its Method of Manufacture" is completely knockdown (being able to be dismantled and reassembled) to enable the relocation of cage.
These features of "The Circular Polyethylene (PE) Floating Fish Cage System and Its Method of Manufacture" will improve breeding conditions and help fish breeding anywhere. 4 2012372445 12 Apr 2017

Method of construction The preparation process 1. Prepare 2 polyethylene pipe of different lengths. The longer polyethylene pipe will be the outer side of the circular floating fish cage and the shorter polyethylene pipe will be the inner part of a circular floating fish cage. 2. Mark on both the polyethylene pipe the place where the double ring will be fitted. The number of the double ring mounted on the curved section is at least 2 pieces, with at least 1 piece of double ring is near each end of the polyethylene pipe (the example below uses 3 pieces of double rings at one curved section). WO 2013/132473 19 PCT/ID2012/000007 3. Wind the nickel wire around both the polyethylene pipe on the part where the double ring will be fitted. The length of the nickel wire used is directly proportional to the surface area of polyethylene pipe to be covered with the double rings. 4. Insert the longer polyethylene pipe into the back of the double ring[the part of the double ring facing out the circular floating cage] so that all the wire winding is covered by the back of the double ring. The nickel wire is now between the outer surface of the longer polyethylene pipe and the rear surface of the double ring. 5. Make sure the wire on the long polyethylene pipe covered with the back of the double ring does not undergo a short circuit by using an AVO meter, then electrify the nickel wire with a certain voltage so that an electrical current of +/- 5 amperes is created for+/- 5minutes. The resulting electrical current will heat the outer surface of the long polyethylene pipe and the inner surface of the back of the double ring, binding the two components together perfectly. 6. After the longer polyethylene pipe and the back of the double ring are bound together, insert the shorter polyethylene pipe into the front of the double ring (the part of the double ring facing inside the circular floating cage and having holders for net hooks) parallel with the longer polyethylene pipe. If the number of the polyethylene pipe double ring on the longer polyethylene pipe is odd, place the shorter polyethylene pipe as such that the wire winding in the middle of the shorter polyethylene pipe is covered by the central double ring. 7. Make sure that the nickel wire does not undergo short circuits by using an avometer, and then electrify the nickel wire with a certain electrical voltage to produce an electric current of +/- 5 amperes for +/-5 minutes. Note: the electric heating is only done on the wire winding on the centre of the short polyethylene pipe and the double ring; do not do electrical heating the other wire. WO 2013/132473 20 PCT/ID2012/000007
Next, Figure 7 A to 7C and Figure 8A to Figure 8C describe the sequence of installation of the inner membrane and outer membrane to the ends of polyethylene pipe. Figure 7A is a side view illustrating the outer membrane before being wound by nickel wire and Figure 7B is a perspective view of nickel wire before being wound around the outer membrane and Figure 7C is a side view of the outer membrane, which illustrates the nickel wire already wound around the outer membrane. Then Figure 8A is a side view of the outer membrane already wound by nickel wire, and the tip of the polyethylene pipe, which illustrates the steps of mounting the outer membrane at the tip of the polyethylene pipe.

Cover all the four polyethylene pipe ends with the polyethylene pipe membrane as follows: a. Wind the nickel wire around the side of the inner membrane that will come into contact with the polyethylene pipe back and forth without touching each other so that both ends of wire stick out at the front of the inner membrane. The length and resistance (ohms)of the nickel wire is directly proportional to the inner membrane side surface area that will come contact with the inner sides of the polyethylene pipe. b. Insert the inner membrane that has wound by the nickel wire into polyethylene pipes at a distance of 10-15cm from the end of the pipes. WO 2013/132473 21 PCT/ID2012/000007 c. Make sure the wires that are wound around the inner membrane does not have a short circuit by being tested using an avo meter. Electrify the nickel wire with a certain voltage resulting in a current of around 5 A for about 5 minutes. d. After the nickel wire is electrified, leave it for about 10 minutes. The inner membrane is now perfectly united with polyethylene pipes. 8. Cover all the four ends of the polyethylene pipes with the outer membrane: a. Wind the nickel wire around the side of the outer membrane which will come into contact with the inner side of the polyethylene pipe (either already fitted with inner membrane or not) back and forth without touching each other so that both ends of the wire stick out on the front side of the outer membrane. The length and resistance (ohms) of the nickel wire is directly proportional to the side surface area of the outer membrane that will be in contact with the inner side the polyethylene pipe. b. Insert the outer membrane already wound with nickel wire into the end of the polyethylene pipe. c. Make sure the nickel wire already wound around the outer membrane does not undergo a short circuit by being tested using an AVO meter. Electrify the nickel wire with a certain voltage resulting in around 5 A current for about 5 minutes. d. After the nickel wire is electrified, leave it untouched for about 10 minutes. The outer membrane is now perfectly united with the polyethylene pipe, forming floating device. 9. After the four ends of the polyethylene pipes are covered with the outer and inner membrane, join the constructed floating device configurations at the end of the outer floating device using stainless steel bolts. WO 2013/132473 22 PCT/ID2012/000007
Further, refer to the Figure 9A to Figure 9B andFigurelOA to Figure 10C, which illustrate the sequence of steps of curving of the floating device configuration to form curved section.

Figure IOC is a top view of the enlarged connection of the short and long floating devices which illustrates the installation of the auxiliary device during the process of curving. 10. After a few pieces of floating device configurations are joined with stainless steel bolts, pull the configuration on the part to be bent by using a rope / chain / sling / pulley so that it curves and forms parts of the circular floating fish cage. The pulling is done so that the tips of the front floating device touches each other and are joined by stainless steel bolts.
Note: sometimes the front part of the floating device is not really curved during the curving process. This can result in the tip of the front floating device cannot be connected to each other using stainless steel bolts. If it does, bending can be done by using two pipe spacing adjustment devices. WO 2013/132473 23 PCT/ID2012/000007 11. The curving of the curved section is continued to form an intact circular floating cage. When this is being carried out, insert small polyethylene pipe of a certain length into each net hook to form the fence of the floating fish cage 12. Leave it untouched for several hours until each curved section has no tendency to 5 return to its original shape. Then electrify each wire that has not been electrified, which is between the inner floating device and the front of the double ring, with a certain voltage so as to create a current of +/-5 amperes for +/-5 minutes. Thus the curved section will not change its shape.
Then referring to Figure 11, which is a top view of the floating fish cage, which 10 illustrates the time course of the curving sections of floating polyethylene floating device.

The process of curving the curved sections no 10 to 13 can be done separately without having to construct the whole circular floating cage if the place is not sufficient. After being dismantled, the curved sections which can be reassembled to form a circular floating cage are 20 obtained.
Further, refer to the Figure 14A to 14B and Figure 15A to 15B, which shows step-by-step installation of a fence pipe.
Method of Making Railing. WO 2013/132473 24 PCT/ID2012/000007
Here is the process of making a fence [railing] to complement the curved section already constructed.
