Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in a conventional aquarium with a passage tube installed in an aquarium container, wherein the weight of water filled inside the passage tube is supported by legs and there is a case where the weight applied to the legs presses and damages a part of a bottom part of the aquarium container, and when air enters the passage tube to cause water inside the passage tube to flow out, the flowing-out water may overflow after filling the inside of the aquarium container.SOLUTION: A water tank 1 with a floating body is put in an aquarium 5, and an opening of the water tank 1 with the floating body filled with water is put upside down and lifted close to the water surface. The floating body is installed at the water tank 1 with the floating body so that the partially projecting state of the water tank 1 with the floating body from the water surface is maintained by the floating body. Aquarium fish can thereby be seen to swim inside the water tank with the floating body projected from the water surface and filled with water. When air enters the water tank with the floating body and water flows out, a floating body part allows the water tank 1 with the floating body to float on the water surface, and the water level of the aquarium 5 is lowered to prevent water from overflowing from the aquarium 5.

In an aquarium fish tank with a passage pipe installed in a conventional aquarium container, the weight of the water filled inside the passage pipe is supported by the leg, so that the weight on the leg is a part of the bottom of the aquarium container. It may be damaged due to pressure. In addition, when air enters the inside of the passage pipe and the water inside the passage pipe flows out, the water that has flowed out may overflow after filling the water tank container.

The opening of the aquarium-equipped aquarium with a floating body installed in the aquarium vessel is placed in the aquarium fish tank through the opening of the aquarium fish tank, and the water in the aquarium fish tank is filled in until it fills the aquarium-equipped aquarium. The opening of the tank with floating body that is full of water is turned downward, and the opening of the tank with floating body is pulled up to near the water surface of the tank for ornamental fish. At this time, the floating body is installed in the floating tank so that a part of the floating tank with the floating body protrudes above the water surface of the aquarium fish tank. You can see the ornamental fish swimming inside the floating tank. Also, if air enters the floating tank and water flows out of the floating tank, the floating tank becomes lighter by the amount of water that flows out, and the floating body floats the floating tank from the surface of the water, and the volume of the floating body that has floated Since the minute lowers the water level of the aquarium tank, even if water flows out of the floating tank, the water will not overflow from the aquarium tank.

  Pressure is applied to a part of the aquarium fish tank so that the aquarium fish tank is not damaged. Moreover, even if the water in the tank with a floating body flows out, the water should not overflow from the aquarium fish tank.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a transparent floating water tank 1 having a floating water tank opening 4 that is open at the bottom surrounds a floating water tank part 2 and a floating water tank part 2 that are composed of a hemispherical upper part and a cylindrical lower part. It consists of the floating part 3 which seals a hollow part and produces buoyancy.

  The floating tank opening 4 of the floating tank 1 that is smaller than the upper opening of the transparent ornamental fish tank 5 containing water shown in FIG. 2 is vertically placed in the ornamental fish tank 5, and the ornamental fish tank 5. Fill the floating tank 1 with water. The floating tank opening 4 of the floating tank 1 that is full of water is turned downward, and the floating tank opening 4 is pulled up to near the surface of the ornamental fish tank 5. At this time, the floating body 3 is installed in the floating tank 1 so that a part of the floating tank 2 is protruded above the water surface of the ornamental fish tank 5 by the floating body 3. Water is added until the aquarium tank 5 is full so that 2 is higher. In this way, the place where the aquarium fish swims in the water tank 2 with a floating body in a full state protruding from the water surface is seen.

  When air enters the floating body tank 2 of the floating body 1 shown in FIG. 2 and the water flows out of the floating body 2, the floating body 1 becomes lighter by the amount of water that has flowed out, and the floating body 3 floats above the water surface. By doing so, even if the water level of the aquarium tank 5 is lowered and water flows out of the floating body 2 of the aquarium 1, water does not overflow from the aquarium tank 5.

  The floating hose 7 with a floating body floating in water at the tip shown in FIG. 3 is a water tank with a floating body of the floating water tank 1 floating in a tank 5 for a full-fledged ornamental fish so that the opening 4 with a floating body in contact with the water surface The manual pump 6 installed at the other end of the hose 7 with the floating body is moved from the opening 4 into the floating body water tank portion 2, thereby discharging air from the floating body water tank portion 2. Thereby, when the water of the ornamental fish tank 5 flows into the floating body tank 2 and the water level in the floating body tank 2 rises, the tip of the hose 7 with the floating body also floats in the water and continues to discharge air, The inside of the floating body tank 2 is filled with water. At this time, the floating tank 1 sinks due to the weight of the water that has flowed into the floating tank 2, but the floating tank 3 has a buoyancy that does not completely submerge as the volume of the floating body 3. Even if the water is reduced and the water level is lowered, the volume of the floating body 3 is submerged by the weight of the water flowing into the floating body 2 and the water level is raised, so the water level of the aquarium 5 is full. To maintain.

  The suction cup 8 and the support bar 9 shown in FIG. 4 are attached to the side surface of the floating tank 1 and the support bar 9 is installed through the suction cup 8. As a result, even when the floating water tank 1 installed in the aquarium fish tank 5 becomes unstable in water as shown in FIG. 2, the support rod 9 is supported by the bottom of the aquarium fish tank 5, so that it is stable. The supporting force in this case can be supported by the floating body tank 2 with a force lighter than the weight of water in the floating body tank 2 by the buoyancy of the floating body 3, and the bottom of the aquarium fish tank 5 is not damaged. Further, since the support bar 9 penetrates the rubber suction cup 8 while being crimped, the length of the support bar 9 can be expanded or contracted downward from the floating tank 1 by pushing or pulling the support bar 9.

The joint between the floating body tank 2 and the floating body 3 of the water tank with floating body 13 shown in FIG. 5 is a joint in which the flexible plastic floating body joint 11 and the flexible plastic floating body tank joint 10 are screws. Since it is screwed with the hand mooring tool 12, each swing of the floating body tank 2 and the floating body 3 in the water is released to some extent at the joint. Thereby, even if it floats the water tank 13 with a floating body instead of the water tank 1 with the floating body in the tank 5 for ornamental fish of FIG. 2, it floats stably. Moreover, since it is screwed to the plastic, the balance can be adjusted when the floating body 3 is floated on the surface of the water by moving the floating body 3 on the circumference around the screwing portion.

Make it possible to view ornamental fish and other underwater floating objects on the water surface with steps.
