Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an aquarium fish tank in which a bottom glass plate disposed on a bottom plate of an aquarium is divided into a plurality of sections by partitioning ridges provided on the surface of the bottom plate. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in an aquarium for aquarium fish, the bottom of the aquarium is composed of a bottom plate made of synthetic resin or metal, and a bottom glass plate laid on the bottom plate.
A groove-shaped bottom frame for fitting and fixing the lower ends of the front and rear double-sided glass and the left and right side glass is provided around the periphery, and the lower ends of the front and rear double-sided glass and the left and right side glass are fitted into the bottom frame around the bottom plate. Then, the front and rear double-sided glass and the left and right both-sided glass are assembled integrally with the bottom plate by being fixed by the silicone adhesive.

Further, a bottom glass plate is laid on the upper surface of the bottom plate, and the periphery of the bottom glass plate is adhered to the inner surfaces of the lower end portions of the front and rear double-sided glass and the left and right side glass by a silicone adhesive. The plate is integrated with the bottom plate to exhibit sufficient strength to withstand the water pressure in the water tank, maintaining a proper horizontal state and water tightness without warping or other shape changes for a long period of time. It can be used harmlessly as a material.

[0004]

On the other hand, in the aquarium for aquarium fish, pebbles, sand, etc. are spread on the bottom of the water, and accessories such as water plants, artificial rocks, waterwheels, etc. are arranged in order to maintain a good view of the aquarium. However, organic filth and moss such as leftover food and excrement generated by breeding of fish accumulate at the bottom of the aquarium. Since the degree of loss is lost, it is required that dirt adhering to the inner surface of the glass be washed away and kept clean at all times.

[0005] When cleaning the inside of the water tank, all the water in the tank is drained, and water plants, pebbles, sand, artificial rocks, accessories, and the like on the bottom glass plate are taken out of the tank, and then the front and rear double-sided glass, left and right glass are removed. Dirt and water moss attached to the surface of both sides glass and bottom glass plate will be washed off, but pebbles, pseudo rocks,
When the accessories and the like are taken out of the tank, these surfaces are easily slipped due to the adhesion of water moss and the like, so that the bottom glass plate may be accidentally slid down onto the bottom glass plate and damaged.

Further, it is difficult to clean the inside of the aquarium when the aquarium is placed on a table at an eye level for easy viewing. When the tank is moved down from the table with a large amount of water still remaining in the tank, the water in the tank is not completely drained. The weight of the remaining water acts on a part of the tank in a biased manner, causing the water tank to be twisted or distorted.

When such a twist or distortion occurs in the water tank,
Cracks or delaminations occur at the bonding part that fixes the periphery of the bottom glass plate to the front and rear double-sided glass and the inside of the lower end of the left and right side glass, resulting in impaired watertightness and deformation due to twisting and distortion larger than expected In this case, the bottom glass plate is damaged without being able to cope with the deformation.

Of course, when the bottom glass plate forming the bottom of the water tank is broken as described above, the bottom glass plate must be replaced. It is firmly fixed with silicone adhesive, so if you do not remove this adhesive part you can not replace the new bottom glass plate, and naturally, amateurs can not do such repairs, so a tank maker To request repairs.

[0009] However, even in the aquarium maker, the adhesive portion between the front and rear double-sided glass and the left and right side glass around the bottom glass plate is cleanly peeled off, replaced with a new bottom glass plate, and then injected again with adhesive and fixed. This is not an easy task,
Since this is a very laborious and difficult operation, there is a problem that the repair cost is necessarily high.

[0010]
