Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an octopus shelter and a farm container therefor. More specifically, the present invention relates to a container for accommodating the caught octopuses one by one and a farming container for accommodating a plurality of shelters collectively.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Octopus are cave-headed animals, and they have a bad relationship with each other. If left unattended, they will quarrel and damage each other. We put them one by one in so-called "octopus pots" and moored them separately in water.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the "octopus pot" is a biscuit container, it is easily damaged during handling, and there are many disadvantages in terms of weight and the like.

Further, it is extremely difficult to collectively cultivate the octopus put in these "octopus pots" in the sea.

[0005]

In view of the above problems, the present invention is suitable for accommodating octopuses one by one and suspending them in the sea. Provided is an octopus shelter which can be disposed in the vicinity of the.

Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a farming container for accommodating a large number of octopus shelters in a lump and for appropriately and selectively taking out the octopus shelters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An octopus shelter according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, an octopus shelter 10 for accommodating a single octopus has a hollow cylinder 12 whose both ends are open, and a disk serving as a lid which closes each open end of the cylinder 12. It consists of 14 and 16.

The above-mentioned components are made of synthetic resin,
For example, it is made of vinyl chloride.

Each of the disks 14 and 16 is provided with a central opening 20 penetrating therethrough and a plurality of openings 22 surrounding the central opening 20. Also, both discs 14 and 16
To fix and so that both ends of the cylinder 12 are closed,
The synthetic resin pipe 2 is provided in the central opening 20 of the disks 14 and 16.
4, 26 are fixed. Pipes 24 and 26 are cylinders 1
They are connected to each other by screwing them at the central portion on the longitudinal center line of 2, and for this purpose, a coupling member 28 with a male screw and a coupling member 30 with a female screw are attached to their respective free ends.

A hanging fitting 32 is used to suspend the octopus shelter 10 in the sea. The hanging metal fitting 32 has a ring 34 for attaching a rope (not shown in the drawing) or the like in the central portion.
And a disk 14 having both ends fixed to both ends of the cylinder 12.
A key portion 36 to be inserted into the central opening 20 of 6 is provided.

As the hanging metal fitting, a bolt type hanging metal fitting 40 can be used as shown in FIG. This hanging bracket 4
Reference numeral 0 designates a rod member 42 penetrating the pipes 24, 26 from the central opening 20 of the disk 14, and a ring 34 for attaching a rope or the like is attached to one end portion thereof, and the other end portion thereof is a nut 4
It is fixed to the disc 16 at 4.

Referring to FIG. 4, a large number of shelters 10 each containing an octopus are collectively cultivated in the sea,
A farming container 50 that takes out the shelter 10 by approaching as needed will be described.

The storage container 50 is a polygonal or cylindrical container made of iron grid or wire mesh, and is divided into a plurality of compartments 54 by a partition wall 52. This container 50 is provided with a compartment 54 containing the shelter 10 below the sea surface, and if necessary,
The compartment 54 under the sea surface is rotated and taken out above the sea surface.

To this end, a shaft 56 is provided at the center of the container 50.
Is attached, and the container 50 is centered around this shaft 56.
It is attached to the floating structure 58 placed on the surface of the sea by a suitable means known in the art so that it can be rotated. As the floating body structure 58, disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 1999992 of 1991, "exterior rigidity and synthetic resin are obtained by forming a foam mixture such as synthetic resin as a core material and covering the exterior coating with a cement mixture. It is preferable to use a "floating body structure characterized by having a specific gravity of 1 or less with a core material made of foam." In addition, as shown in FIG.
It can be installed in parallel with.

The shelter 10 is placed in the compartment 54 of the container 50.
The side wall portion 60 of each compartment 54 can be opened and closed by a suitable means such as a hinge (not shown) at the outer end portion of the partition wall 52 for inserting and removing the same. And the other end of the side wall portion 60 is also attached to the partition wall 52.
It is removably secured to the outer end of it by means of suitable fasteners known per se (not shown in the drawing).

[0017]

OPERATION AND EFFECT OF THE INVENTION Octopus shelter 10 of the present invention
As is obvious from the above, one octopus is put in each one, and the hangers 32 or 40 are used to
Suspend individually in the sea.

According to the present invention, since the shelter 10 is made of a synthetic resin, it is much lighter than a conventional octopus pot, and even if it is thrown out, there is no risk of damage, and it is easy to handle and robust. is there.

Next, in the farming container 50, a large number of shelters 10 can be put in the compartments 54, and the portion accommodating the shelters 10 can be arranged in the sea. Since this container 50 is mounted so as to be able to rotate about a shaft 56, it approaches as necessary to bring the compartment 54 containing the octopus shelter 10 of the container 50 above the sea surface. A desired octopus can be obtained by pivoting so as to expose it, opening the side wall portion 60, and taking out the shelter 10.

Therefore, it is very effective in cultivating octopus in a batch.
