Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is capable of holding a cord such as a tube such as an air tube or a heater cord by being adsorbed on the wall of an aquarium used for breeding and breeding ornamental fish such as goldfish, tropical fish, saltwater fish, etc. The present invention relates to a suction cup for an aquarium.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When breeding and growing goldfish, tropical fish and other ornamental fish in the aquarium, generally lead the air tube connected to the air pump, the cord connected to the submersible pump or heater, etc. to the aquarium and hold it in the water In addition, a suction cup is used.
[0003]
In such a conventional suction cup, as shown in FIG. 5, a mounting hole 01c is formed in the boss part 01b on the back surface of the suction cup part 01a of the suction cup 01, and an air tube A or the like is passed through the mounting hole 01c in advance. Then, the air tube A is attached to the water tank by adsorbing the suction cup to the wall surface of the water tank V or the like.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Incidentally, in the conventional suction cups shown in Figure 5, it has already, set so the water tank V, for example, air tube A is an air pump at both ends thereof, since such Easuton is connected, is intact, the air tube A Because the suction tube mounting hole 01c cannot be passed through the air tube A, the air tube A cannot be attached to the wall surface of the water tank V with a new suction cup. There is a problem that the installation work of the cord and the replacement work with a new suction cup are troublesome.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and even after setting flexible filaments such as air tubes and electric wire cords in the water tank, these filaments can be easily and easily placed in the water tank. An object of the present invention is to provide a new water tank suction cup that can be attached.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the object, the invention according to claim 1 comprises a suction cup body and a mounting band that is detachably attached to the suction cup body.
The suction cup body is formed by integrally projecting a boss part having a mounting hole which is a circular through hole on the back surface of the suction cup part, while the attachment band is flattened by an elastic soft synthetic resin material. It is formed in a band shape, has a retaining portion at the proximal end of the intermediate portion, and has a tapered insertion portion at the distal end thereof, and is configured to bendable. It is formed in a flat band shape wider than the diameter of the mounting hole,
The attachment band is inserted into the attachment hole, the retaining part is locked to the boss part, the intermediate part is folded back in a loop shape, and the wire is held, and then the insertion part is attached to the attachment hole. It is characterized in that both edge portions of the overlapping intermediate portion are frictionally held on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole, and according to such features, flexibility of air tubes, electric wire cords, etc. The suction rod can be attached to the filament without leaving the suction cup through the filament without removing it from the connected devices such as air pumps and heaters. With the suction cup, it is possible to easily and easily perform the adsorption setting of the striate body in the water tank. Moreover, even if there is a difference in the thickness of the striatum, a suction cup can be attached to the striatum without any support.
[0007]
Further, the attachment band can be reliably frictionally held in the attachment hole of the suction cup body, and the attachment / detachment operation of the attachment band to the attachment hole is easy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples of the present invention shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0009]
FIGS. 1-4 shows one Example of this invention, FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of the water tank which shows the state which uses the suction cup for water tanks of this invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the arrow 2 of FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing how to use the suction cup.
[0010]
The water tank suction cup S according to the present invention includes a suction cup body 1 and a mounting band 2 that is detachably attached to the suction cup body 1.
[0011]
The suction cup body 1 is formed of an elastic soft synthetic resin material such as soft vinyl chloride, and a boss part 1b is integrally projected at the center of the back surface of the bowl-like suction cup part 1a, and the boss part 1b. A circular mounting hole 1c penetrating the opposite side surfaces is drilled in the side surface of the. Further, a photographing 1d having a through hole is integrally provided on the peripheral portion of the back surface of the suction cup body 1 so as to project.
[0012]
On the other hand, the mounting band 2 is formed into a flat band shape by stamping an elastic soft synthetic resin plate such as a soft polyethylene plate, and the diameter of the mounting hole 1c of the suction cup body 1 is formed at the base end of the elongated flat band-shaped intermediate portion 2a. Further, the retaining portion 2b that is longer in the lateral direction is formed integrally with a tapered insertion portion 2c at the tip thereof. The width of the intermediate portion 2a is slightly longer than the diameter of the mounting hole 1c of the suction cup body 1, and as will be described later, when the mounting band 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 1c, the suction cup Due to the elasticity of the main body 1, the attachment band 2 is frictionally held by the suction cup main body 1.
[0013]
Next, with reference to FIG. 4, a procedure for attaching, for example, the air tube A to the suction cup S as a flexible linear body will be described.
[0014]
First, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the attachment band 2 is inserted into the attachment hole 1c of the suction cup body 1 from the insertion portion 2c side and moved, and as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the attachment band 2 is engaged with the outer surface of the boss 1b.
[0015]
Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (C), the intermediate portion 2a of the attachment band 2 is folded back in a loop shape to hold the air tube A, and then the insertion portion 2c is overlapped with the base end portion. When inserted into the mounting hole 1c, the mounting band 2 is frictionally held in the mounting hole 1c of the suction cup body 1, and the air tube A is attached to the suction cup body 1 with the mounting band 2 as shown in FIG. Can do. And even if the thickness of the air tube A is different, the attachment becomes possible without trouble.
[0016]
FIG. 1 shows a case where an electric wire cord C as a flexible wire body to which a heater H is connected is attached to a wall surface of a water tank V using a suction cup S according to the present invention. According to the suction cup S, even after the heater H is set in the water tank V, the electric wire cord C extending therefrom can be attached to a desired position in the water tank V.
[0017]
Having described embodiments of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to that embodiment, Ru der capable of various embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, the invention described in claim 1 is composed of the suction cup body and the attachment band that is detachably attached to the suction cup body, and the suction cup body has a boss portion with a mounting hole formed in the back surface of the suction cup portion. The attachment band is formed so as to be flexible with a retaining portion at the base end of the belt-shaped intermediate portion and an insertion portion at the distal end thereof. Since the retaining portion is locked to the boss portion and the intermediate portion is folded back so that the insertion portion can be frictionally held in the mounting hole so that it can be inserted and removed. It is possible to attach a suction cup to the filament without leaving the suction cup through the filament without leaving the flexible filament in the water tank without removing it from the air pump, heater or other connected device. Therefore, it is easy and easy to set the striate to the water tank using the suction cup. It can be carried out. Moreover, even if there is a difference in the thickness of the striatum, a suction cup can be attached to the striatum without any support.
[0019]
Further, the attachment band can be reliably frictionally held in the attachment hole of the suction cup body, and the attachment / detachment operation of the attachment band to the attachment hole is easy.
