Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides capsule-shaped ornamental fish, etc. (goldfish, tropical fish, This relates to aquariums for breeding other aquatic organisms, and it is possible to install spherical or other unusually shaped aquariums in positions and places that would be unimaginable according to conventional wisdom, and goldfish, tropical fish, etc. can swim around in the aquariums. He invented a capsule-type aquarium for ornamental fish that gives Kannon a mysterious impression.

■)...Characteristics of the present invention The present invention allows air to be drawn into a glass bottle, for example, even if the main body filled with liquid has a large shape or volume, or if the mouth is narrow and the glass bottle is turned upside down. This technology focused on the phenomenon that the liquid inside does not come out unless the tank is in a sealed state, and by making the water tank a sealed structure, it prevents air from being drawn in even if it is installed upside down, and the water supply pipe The amount of water that is pressure-fed into the aquarium from (filtered purified water) is discharged from the drain pipe (sewage) to the outside of the aquarium,
The feature is that the discharged water is filtered by a filtration device and circulated to the water supply pipe.

■)...Constitution of the present invention (1)...The present invention connects a sealed aquarium and a breeding water filtration device with supply and drain pipes, and circulates and filters the water in the aquarium. This is a capsule type aquarium for ornamental fish.

(2)...Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, a sealed aquarium 1 and a breeding water filtration device 2 are connected via supply and drain pipes 3a and 3b, and the aquarium This is a capsule-type aquarium for viewing angles, etc., which circulates and filters water.

(3)... The connection means between the water tank 1 and the supply and drain pipes 3a and 3b are appropriate, however, for maintenance of the water tank 1,
Because it is necessary to change the water or take goldfish and other fish into and out of the aquarium, a part of the aquarium 1 has a set diameter (for example, 10 cm in diameter).
A socket 4 having a short cylindrical shape or the like is provided.

(4)...The concrete configuration of the socket 4 is, for example, by attaching a short cylinder 5 with a set diameter to a part of the water tank 1, and connecting the supply and drain pipes 3a and 3b to the screw 6 at the tip of the short cylinder 5. It has a configuration in which a tie lid 8 equipped with pipe joints 7a and 7b for this purpose is screwed and fastened. (See Figure 1) (5) The shape and size of the aquarium 1 can be any size as long as it is sealed (arbitrary, for example, spherical (see Figures 1 and 2).
a)), hemispherical, rectangular ((b) in Fig. 2), plate-shaped, wall-mounted, panel-shaped, frame-mounted ((c) in Fig. 2), donut shape ((d) in Fig. 2) ) etc. are possible.

(6)...The water tank 1 and the filtration device 2 are connected to each other using supply and drain pipes 3a and 3b (or 3a and 3b combined into one), which can be used in the same way as normal hoses and electric wires. If so, it can be installed in a nearby or remote location, so for example, a stand-type aquarium 1 and a filtration device 2 combined into one unit (i.e., close installation) like the 3rd one, or a 4th one. As shown in (a) to (d) in the diagram, the aquarium 1 and the filtration device 2 are installed in completely different locations (i.e., remote installation), and the two are connected via supply and drain pipes 3a and 3b. Conceivable.

(A) in Figure 4 above is an example of an upright installation on a horizontal surface such as the floor.
(b) is an example where it is installed horizontally on a vertical surface such as a wall, (c) is an example where it is installed hanging down on a horizontal surface such as a ceiling, and (d) is an example where it is installed in an abandoned style like a soccer ball rolled on the floor etc. This is an example.

Naturally, for the supply and drain pipes 3a and 3b, hard pipes or flexible pipes are used depending on the purpose.

(7)...Put ornamental fish etc. into the aquarium 1 filled with water,
Just installing them in various places and in various conditions as described above is enough to make it worth watching, but if the inside of the aquarium 1 can be effectively illuminated, the excitement will be doubled.

Therefore, in the present invention, a light source 9 such as a light bulb is installed in the socket 4 to illuminate the inside of the aquarium 1.

(8) ...Also, when light is applied to the end surface of the transparent material 10 such as a transparent bar or wire such as glass or plastic, the light beam passes through the transparent material 10 and exits from the tip end surface. It is well known that it emits bright and beautiful light.

Therefore, in the present invention, the tip end surface (light-emitting surface) of the transparent material 10 is passed through the socket 4 and positioned in the aquarium l, and a light source 9 such as a light bulb is installed below the bottom end surface, and the light rays of the light source 9 are transmitted through the water tank L. It is provided so that light is emitted through the light material 10 from its tip surface (light emitting surface).

(9)...If you put ornamental fish etc. in the aquarium 1 and can also provide lighting, you can put things other than ornamental valve rings in the aquarium 1, such as artificial flowers or products such as jewelry. It would be even more effective if you put some lights in there and shine some light on them.

Therefore, in the present invention, in addition to the case where products and the like are placed directly into the water in the water tank 1, a hollow capsule 1 for inserting the products is installed.

In addition, by displaying brightly colored pictures or letters on the outer circumferential surface of the hollow capsule 11, or pasting a film depicting them, the lights can be used to make them stand out beautifully in the water, improving the mood. Ideal for use in displays, advertising, etc.

(10)...An example of the filtration device 2 is shown in Fig. 1.3, 12 is a material such as sand for filtering the waste water discharged from the drain pipe 3b, and 13 is a water supply pipe for filtered purified water. This is a pump that pressure-feeds water to 3a.

(11) ... The feeding means may be any suitable means, but for example (not shown), a bypass pipe is attached to the middle of the water supply pipe 3a, and the bait is dropped into the bypass pipe and sent to the aquarium together with the supply water. It is installed so that it can be sent inside.

■) Action (1) Fill the aquarium 1 with water with its socket 4 facing up, put in ornamental fish, etc., install the hollow capsule 11, and screw the short cylinder 5 through the screw 6. Screw on a piece M8, connect the supply and drain pipes 3a and 3b to the pipe joints 7a and 7b of the screw cap 8, and connect the water tank 1 and the filtration device 2 by piping.

When the filtration device 2 is operated in this state, filtered purified water is forced into the water tank 1 through the water supply pipe 3a by the pump 13, and the same amount of water (sewage) is pushed out from the water tank 1 to the drain pipe 3b, and filtered. It is discharged to the filter medium 12'' of the device 2 and filtered, and is again pumped by the pump 13 and circulated.
The water in the aquarium 1 is maintained in a state suitable for breeding.

Furthermore, when the light source 9 emits light, the inside of the aquarium, the hollow capsule, etc. are illuminated.

(2)...As maintenance, change the water in tank 1,
To take out or take out aquarium fish, install a hollow capsule, etc., place the aquarium 1 with its socket 4 facing up, open the screw cap 8 of the socket 4, and remove the aquarium 1.

■)...Effects (1)...The present invention is completely airtight and watertight, except for the piping connection with the breeding water circulation filtration device, so the water in the aquarium will not overflow. An aquarium for breeding ornamental fish, etc., which has no fear of water leakage or backflow, and can therefore be installed in positions and locations unimaginable in the past, and has an unusual and mysterious atmosphere. There are some very good features that you get when you set it up.

(2)...Simply separate the water tank and filtration device and connect them with hard or soft flexible supply and drain pipes.
Since it has the feature of being able to be installed in both close and distant locations, the above-mentioned features can be further enhanced and the shape of the aquarium, installation mode, etc. can be extremely varied.

(3) By providing the water tank with a socket, installation and maintenance can be performed extremely easily.

(4) By providing a means for illuminating the inside of the aquarium, it can be used not only as a breeding aquarium for aquarium fish, etc., but also for illuminating aquarium fish in the aquarium, ornaments, artificial flowers, products, etc. installed in the aquarium. Furthermore, when a hollow capsule is inserted, it can be used to illuminate the products (jewelry, etc.) inside, or to display beautiful colored patterns and letters on the capsule's circumference. It can also be used for a wide range of purposes, such as creating a room mood, displaying advertisements, etc. by illuminating photos and other objects pasted on the periphery from inside to make them appear clearer.

(5)...A spherical aquarium filled with water exhibits the effect of a convex lens, so the ornamental fish, display products, etc. inside can be magnified and clearly seen.

(6)...A panel-shaped aquarium placed in a picture frame and placed on an indoor wall is both extremely aesthetic and eccentric, with goldfish swimming around inside the picture frame. In addition, an infinite variety of aquariums can be configured.
