魚等の動物の飼育や観賞、植物の育成や観賞等に用いることができる水槽には物品が後付けで付設されることがある。
観賞魚用水槽を例にとると、水槽内の水を浄化するの浄化装置、水中へ気泡を供給するエアポンプ、水温調整のための水温調節器、水温調整のために水面に空気を吹きつける送風機、照明器具等が付設されることがある。また、植物用水槽の場合も、水浄化装置、水温調節器等が付設されることがある。
Articles may be attached later to water tanks that can be used for rearing and appreciating animals such as fish, and for growing and appreciating plants.
Taking an aquarium fish tank as an example, a purification device that purifies the water in the aquarium, an air pump that supplies bubbles into the water, a water temperature regulator for adjusting the water temperature, a blower that blows air to the water surface to adjust the water temperature A lighting fixture or the like may be attached. In the case of a plant aquarium, a water purification device, a water temperature controller, and the like may be attached.
このような物品は、例えば、実公平3−17655号公報、特許第3476155号公報に記載されているように、水槽の上枠に載置して付設されることもあるが、例えば、特開2003−236484号公報に記載されているように、物品に設けた吸盤を水槽側壁(合成樹脂製の場合もあるが、代表的にはガラス製の側壁)に吸着させることで付設することもある。また、例えば、特開2003−47367号公報に記載されているように、物品に一体的に設けたフック部を水槽上枠に引っ掛け係合させることで付設することもある。 Such articles may be mounted on the upper frame of the water tank as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-17655 and Japanese Patent No. 3476155. As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-236484, a suction cup provided on an article may be attached to a water tank side wall (which may be made of synthetic resin, but typically a glass side wall). . Further, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-47367, it may be attached by hooking and engaging a hook portion integrally provided on an article with a water tank upper frame.
しかしながら、物品を水槽上枠に載置する場合、物品が重いものであれば、比較的安定的に載置状態が維持されるが、物品が軽いものであれば、ユーザの手が触れる等による外力で物品が水槽上枠から外れやすく、物品付設安定性の点で十分とは言えない。 However, when the article is placed on the water tank upper frame, if the article is heavy, the placement state is relatively stably maintained. However, if the article is light, the user's hand touches it. Articles can be easily detached from the water tank upper frame by external force, which is not sufficient in terms of the stability of attaching the articles.
物品を吸盤で水槽側壁に吸着保持させる場合には、水槽側壁に吸着させた吸盤が吸着開始からの時間の経過とともに次第に吸着力が弱まって該側壁から脱落するおそれがあり、また、物品を介して或いは直接的に吸盤に外力が加わると、吸盤が変形するなどして、吸盤が水槽側壁から脱落してしまうこともあり、吸盤のみによる物品支持は支持安定性の点で十分とは言えない。 When adsorbing and holding an article on the side wall of the water tank with a suction cup, the suction cup adsorbed on the side wall of the water tank may gradually weaken as the adsorbing force gradually decreases with the passage of time from the start of adsorption, and may fall off the side wall. If the external force is directly applied to the suction cup, the suction cup may be deformed, and the suction cup may fall off from the water tank side wall. Supporting articles using only the suction cup is not sufficient in terms of support stability. .
物品に一体的に設けたフック部を水槽上枠に引っ掛け係合させる場合、物品が軽量物等である場合は支持が不安定になったり、外力で物品が傾いたりするなどし、これも物品支持安定性の点で十分とは言えない。 When hook parts provided integrally with the article are hooked and engaged with the water tank upper frame, if the article is a lightweight object, the support becomes unstable or the article tilts due to external force, etc. It cannot be said that the support stability is sufficient.
そこで本発明は、水槽に物品を付設するための水槽用物品付設具であって、物品を水槽に簡易に、安定的に付設することができ、構造簡単で安価に済む水槽用物品付設具を提供することを課題とする。 Accordingly, the present invention provides an aquarium article attachment tool for attaching an article to a water tank, wherein the article can be easily and stably attached to a water tank, and the structure is simple and inexpensive.

図3(A)は、図1に示す送風装置Aの送風ダクト横方向部分222と、それに設けられた係合部31を示すための、図1のX−X線に沿う断面図である。図3(B)は該係合部31における当接部材312の平面図である。 FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX of FIG. 1 for showing the air duct lateral portion 222 of the air blowing device A shown in FIG. 1 and the engaging portion 31 provided thereon. FIG. 3B is a plan view of the contact member 312 in the engaging portion 31.
図1及び図3(A)に示すように、係合部31は、送風ダクト横方向部分222の下面に設けられた一対のガイド部材311と、これに案内される当接部材312とを含んでいる。ガイド部材311は、送風ダクト横方向部分222と同方向に延在している。ガイド部材311は、後述するように、水槽9の上枠91に上方から着座する着座部を兼ねている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3A, the engaging portion 31 includes a pair of guide members 311 provided on the lower surface of the air duct lateral portion 222 and a contact member 312 guided by the guide members 311. It is out. The guide member 311 extends in the same direction as the air duct lateral portion 222. As will be described later, the guide member 311 also serves as a seating portion for seating on the upper frame 91 of the water tank 9 from above.
当接部材312は、送風ダクト立ち上がり部分221と平行に上下方向に延びる板状の当接部材本体312aと、該本体の上端に一体的に連設されて該本体に対し略90度の方向に延びる板状のスライド部312bとからなっている。 The abutting member 312 is a plate-like abutting member main body 312a extending in the vertical direction parallel to the air duct rising portion 221, and is integrally connected to the upper end of the main body in a direction of approximately 90 degrees with respect to the main body. The plate-shaped slide portion 312b extends.
スライド部312bは、図3(A)に示すように、その両耳部312b’が前記の一対のガイド部材311に摺動可能に嵌合しており、これにより当接部材312は、その全体が送風ダクト立ち上がり部分221へ接近する方向、該立ち上がり部分221から遠ざかる方向に往復動可能である。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the slide portion 312b has its both ear portions 312b 'slidably fitted to the pair of guide members 311 so that the contact member 312 Can reciprocate in the direction approaching the rising portion 221 of the air duct and in the direction moving away from the rising portion 221.
係合部31は、また、当接部材312をその現状位置に維持する維持部313を含んでいる。維持部313は、前記一対のガイド部材311の間において、送風ダクト横方向部分222の下面に形成した、複数段の爪係合部313aと、当接部材312のスライド部312bに設けた爪部313bとを含んでいる。爪部313bは、図3(B)に示すように、スライド部312bを門形に切って形成した、片持ち支持型の可撓性舌片313cの自由端に形成してある。 The engaging portion 31 also includes a maintaining portion 313 that maintains the contact member 312 in its current position. The retaining portion 313 is formed between the pair of guide members 311 on the lower surface of the air duct lateral portion 222, and the claw portions provided on the slide portion 312b of the contact member 312 and the multi-step claw engaging portion 313a. 313b. As shown in FIG. 3B, the claw portion 313b is formed at the free end of a cantilevered flexible tongue 313c formed by cutting the slide portion 312b into a gate shape.
当接部材312をガイド部材311に沿って摺動させると、当接部材312のスライド部312bにおける舌片313cが上下に撓みながら、該舌片上の爪部313bと送風ダクト側の爪係合部313aとが係合脱離を繰り返すので、当接部材312をガイド部材311に沿って往復動させることができる。一方、当接部材312を動かすことを止めると、その位置で、爪部313bと丁度そのとき該爪部313bに係合している爪係合部313aとにより、当接部材312をその位置に維持できる。 When the contact member 312 is slid along the guide member 311, the tongue 313 c on the slide portion 312 b of the contact member 312 is bent up and down, and the claw portion 313 b on the tongue piece and the claw engaging portion on the air duct side. Since the engagement and disengagement with 313a are repeated, the contact member 312 can be reciprocated along the guide member 311. On the other hand, when the movement of the contact member 312 is stopped, the contact member 312 is brought to that position by the claw portion 313b and the claw engagement portion 313a that is engaged with the claw portion 313b at that time. Can be maintained.
後述するように、当接部材312を水槽9の上枠91に水槽内側から当接するように移動させて、その当接位置に維持させることもできる。すなわち、当接部材312をその現状位置に維持する、この維持部313は、当接部材312を水槽9の上端縁部(ここでは水槽上枠91)に水槽内側から当接させて維持する当接位置維持部として機能する。 As will be described later, the contact member 312 can be moved to contact the upper frame 91 of the water tank 9 from the inside of the water tank, and can be maintained at the contact position. That is, the maintaining unit 313 maintains the contact member 312 at its current position, and maintains the contact member 312 in contact with the upper edge of the water tank 9 (here, the water tank upper frame 91) from the inside of the water tank. Functions as a contact position maintaining unit.
以上説明した物品付設具S1によると、図1に示すように、係合部31における当接部材312を送風ダクト立ち上がり部221からある程度遠ざけた位置におき、該係合部31における、着座部を兼ねる一対のガイド部材311を水槽上枠91に上方から着座させ、吸盤32を水槽側壁(ここではガラス板)92の外面に吸着させるとともに、係合部31の当接部材312をガイド部材311に沿って送風ダクト立ち上がり部221の方へ摺動させ、水槽上枠91に水槽内側から当接させ、その当接位置を前記の当接位置維持部313に維持させることで、送風装置Aを水槽9に簡単に付設することができる。 According to the article attachment tool S1 described above, as shown in FIG. 1, the contact member 312 in the engaging portion 31 is placed at a position somewhat away from the air duct rising portion 221, and the seating portion in the engaging portion 31 is placed. A pair of guide members 311 that also serve as seats are seated on the water tank upper frame 91 from above, the suction cup 32 is attracted to the outer surface of the water tank side wall (here, a glass plate) 92, and the contact member 312 of the engaging portion 31 is attached to the guide member 311. The air blower A is placed in the water tank by sliding it toward the air duct rising portion 221 and making it contact the water tank upper frame 91 from the inside of the water tank and maintaining the contact position in the contact position maintaining part 313. 9 can be easily attached.
このように、送風装置Aを水槽9に付設した状態では、送風装置Aの送風機保持部分21に形成された外気吸引口211は、水槽9の外側に位置し、且つ、水槽上端開口面より下方に位置して水槽とは反対側に向いている。一方、送風ダクト22の送風口22bは槽内水面WFに向いている。 Thus, in the state where the air blower A is attached to the water tank 9, the outside air suction port 211 formed in the blower holding portion 21 of the air blower A is located outside the water tank 9 and below the upper end opening surface of the water tank. Located on the opposite side of the aquarium. On the other hand, the air outlet 22b of the air duct 22 faces the tank water surface WF.
従って、送風機1を運転することで、外気吸引口211から送風機吸気口11へ水槽周囲の外気を吸引し、送風機排気口12から排気して、送風ダクト22により送風し、送風口22bから槽内水面WFへ向け送風、吹きつけすることができ、これにより、槽内水温を調整することができる。 Therefore, by operating the blower 1, the outside air around the water tank is sucked from the outside air suction port 211 to the blower air intake port 11, exhausted from the blower exhaust port 12, blown by the blower duct 22, and from the blower port 22 b to the inside of the tank. Air can be blown and blown toward the water surface WF, whereby the water temperature in the tank can be adjusted.
以上説明した物品付設具S1によると、送風装置Aを水槽9に付設した状態では、係合部31の着座部(ガイド部材311)が水槽上枠91に着座しているとともに当接部材312が水槽内側から水槽上枠91に当接し、吸盤32が水槽側壁92の外面に吸着している。かくして送風装置Aは、係合部31と吸盤32とにより水槽9に安定的に付設されている。送風装置Aに、或いは付設具S1の一部等に、水槽ユーザの手等が軽く触れる等して外力が加わっても、送風装置Aの姿勢は狂い難く、水槽9から脱落し難い。
また、物品付設具S1は、その構造が簡単に済み、それだけ安価に提供できる。
According to the article attachment tool S1 described above, in a state where the blower A is attached to the water tank 9, the seating portion (guide member 311) of the engaging portion 31 is seated on the water tank upper frame 91 and the abutting member 312 is provided. The suction cup 32 is in contact with the outer surface of the water tank side wall 92 in contact with the water tank upper frame 91 from the inside of the water tank. Thus, the blower A is stably attached to the water tank 9 by the engaging portion 31 and the suction cup 32. Even if an external force is applied to the air blower A or a part of the attachment S1 by lightly touching the hand of the water tank user, the posture of the air blower A is not likely to be out of order, and it is difficult to drop out of the water tank 9.
Further, the article-attached tool S1 can be simply provided with a structure and can be provided at a low cost.
なお、送風装置Aを係合部31と吸盤32とで水槽9に付設した状態では、外気吸引口211が水槽9の外側に位置し、且つ、上端開口面より下方に位置するので、槽内水面WFから上昇してくる蒸気が直接的に送風装置Aに吸い込まれることが抑制され、水槽周囲の外気が送風装置に吸い込まれる。
