Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a novel combination of a container for transporting live fish such as sea bream, yellowtail, and pufferfish, and a partition that partitions the inside of this container.

(Prior art) Containers for transporting fish such as sea bream and yellowtail while still alive in a transport tank are:
For example, it is known from Utility Model Publication No. 53-49759, Utility Model Publication No. 58-1185, etc.

In these known containers, partition plates are fixed to prevent the fish from moving within the container, and the fish are stored between the partition plates. Therefore, the number of fish contained within the container was divided by partition plates.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Previously known containers for transporting live fish have partition plates fixed to each other as described above, so the size of fish that can be stored in each container is determined, and the size of the fish that can be stored in each container is determined. It was immobilized for transporting fish. Therefore, depending on the type or size of fish, a dedicated transport container was required. In this way, containers for transporting live fish are
If fish are specialized depending on the type or size of the fish, it becomes an inconvenience that many types of containers have to be prepared, and furthermore, there is a problem that many containers are not actually used.

In view of the above points, this invention allows the same container to be used for various fish or fish of different sizes, without having to use specialized containers for transportation depending on the type or size of fish. This was done with the aim of eliminating the inconvenience of preparing extra containers, or reducing the number of unused containers so that they can be used more efficiently.

(Means for solving the problem) To this end, this invention uses a box-shaped container with an open top and water-permeable sides or bottom, and a box-shaped container with a large number of holes that also allow water to pass through. A combination of a plurality of formed plates folded back to form a partition that can be expanded and contracted in an accordion shape, the partition can be moved in and out of the container, and the size of the compartment formed by the partition can be adjusted by expanding and contracting the partition. It is characterized by being adjustable.

(Function) According to this invention, by removing the partition from the container, the container can be used for transporting flounder, shellfish, etc. that do not require a partition. Also, by storing the partitions and extending them to make each section wider, it can be used to transport thick live fish such as yellowtail, or larger items such as sea bream, and by shortening the partitions, each section can be made wider. Narrow and used for transporting fine ties, etc.

(Example) The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a container, which is made of synthetic resin and has a box shape, and has an opening 2 on the top surface. In order to improve water permeability between the inside and outside of the container, a large number of through holes 4 are formed in each side wall 3 and the bottom plate in a mesh pattern. Reference numeral 5 designates a lid made of a synthetic resin plate material with a large number of holes formed in a mesh shape in order to improve water permeability, and is supported on the opening of the container by a shaft 6 so as to be openable and closable.

A partition 7 is shown in FIG. This partition 7
is composed of a synthetic resin plate, and has a plurality of alternating folded parts 8 folded in a U-shape,
It is extendable and retractable like an accordion. This partition 7 also has a large number of through holes 9 formed therein to improve water permeability.

FIG. 3 shows a set of partitions placed in the container 1 in an expanded state, and each compartment 10 formed by the partitions.
An example in which the distance is widened is shown. Also, in Fig. 4, two sets of partitions 7, 7 are connected in a contracted state, and the container 1 is connected.
An embodiment is shown in which each compartment 10 is enclosed within a compartment and is defined by a partition.

(Effects of the invention) As mentioned above, the present invention combines a container and a partition, and the partition can be moved in and out of the container,
Since this partition is constructed by folding a plurality of parts so that it can be expanded and contracted like an accordion, the partition can be used by adjusting its expansion and contraction depending on the type or size of live fish to be transported. Therefore, the same container can be used to transport different types of live fish or live fish of different sizes, and unlike dedicated containers, there is no inconvenience of preparing extra containers, and the number of unused containers is minimized. This has the great advantage that containers can be used extremely efficiently.
