DE20315233U1 - Transparent passage for ornamental fish in pond or aquarium consists of inverted siphon with ends below surface of water and middle portion above surface - Google Patents

Abstract

The transparent passage (1) may be of an arcuate shape. The ornamental fish kept in the pond or aquarium may swim through the passage which consists of an inverted siphon. The ends (10) of the passage are below the surface of the water (5) and are held on supports (3) with clamping rings (4). The middle portion of the passage extends a short distance above the surface and is held on a further support (2).

Description

The invention relates to a modified Fish passage for Ornamental fish in ornamental fish ponds using one or more in arch or acute-angled shape designed tubular tube (s), the are connected to each other when used multiple times and thereby themselves form a structurally stable construction, whereby pond dwellers, especially ornamental fish through the open ends of the clear elbows or acute-angled pipe segments a longer one Route outside the swimming pool can. If only one pipe bend is used, one is done per se any stiffening the overvoltage a water landscape to be designed. Become acute-angled pipe segments together, can - in Abhängikeit of the water load to be carried - no support become.

Previously known technical training from Viewing pools are either placed on racks, above closed glass basin in different shapes, which are stationary are close to the shore or also on floating holding and stabilizing devices, which can be moved integrated glass containers can be positioned. They have in common that only a limited space for above ground stay of ornamental fish disposal is pending in terms of magnification structural and also aesthetic / architectural Limits. Farther are using the v. G. Training mostly additional Take precautions to keep ornamental fish or other pond life to swim into these containers to animate. These include z. B. feeding and / or lighting devices.

According to the German utility model 200 418.1 a modified fish glass is presented, which than a glass one hollow body with the opening after down on a rack near the shore is positioned. The water level in this vessel can be checked using a vacuum pump can be raised or lowered. To compensate for Bumps or slopes at the bottom of the pond or near the shore is at least one prop of the frame individually adjustable. The designs of the glass hollow body can be arbitrary (as a hemisphere, cylinder, cube).

With another German utility model according to 201 12 126.3 is a so-called

Fun aquarium for use on ornamental fish ponds known which is floating and as needed by loosening one Armature disk easily at any point of an ornamental fish pond can be brought back into a fixed swimming position. through Staged removal of fillers adapted from the hollow body and simultaneous ventilation of the same it sinks with its open lower one Part below the water surface and receives its stable swimming position by means of buoyant, ring-shaped floating bodies, the together with the hollow body are integrated in a frame. One automatic feeding and one Lighting devices should have a supporting effect that the Ornamental fish or other pond dwellers are moved to swim in.

In addition to the one already mentioned limited design space for the differently shaped containers and their more or less fixed location in ornamental fish ponds can also be a disadvantage that weather influences, such as strong wind with a corresponding wave motion to instability the v. G. described solutions to lead can.

This stands next to the increase in Show value in such facilities also the task of improvement for more stable attachment.

It is therefore an object of the invention for a solution to look for that using a single sweeping, transparent pipe bend or individual assembled pipe segments in acute-angled form or a combination of several this kind of an enlarged viewing area, z. B. for Ornamental fish outside of an ornamental fish pond, the floating in and leaving, especially with multiple pipe bends / several put together Pipe segments, not necessarily is fixed and the combination of each accordingly pipe elbows used or pipe segments or a possibly individual pipe bend or one individual pipe segment construction assembled at an acute angle at the bottom of the ornamental fish pond above its bottom by suitable ones Fasteners are held in their position.

According to the invention the object is achieved as follows, wherein with regard to the basic inventive ideas to protection claims 1 and 2 is referred. The further development of the invention takes place in the protection claims 3 to 8.

The following additional information on inventive Teaching is required.

A predominantly semicircular, transparent pipe bend spanned at a defined height and Wide an outdoor ornamental fish body, its static and secure vertical position with a stiffener located at its peak or support given is.

The elbow has one Diameter that all existing fish species and pond inhabitants of an ornamental fish pond pass this and swim past each other. The angledm Ends of the pipe bend with correspondingly large inlets and outlets sufficient opportunity to get into the passage, whereby the angled ends can also be used with fastening clamps, which are connected with plinths, the pipe bend at the respective location to fix.

To protect against the risk of tipping, the pipe bend is provided in its focus a support connected with the pond floor, the however not superficially affects the show value of the application.

The combination represents a variant of several pipe bends the v. G. Kind of being about a "corridor" in its focus in the sense of "connected Vessels "with each other stay in contact. This gives ornamental fish the opportunity to use the passage in different ways.

A central support for several interconnected pipe bends deleted in this self-supporting arrangement. It only needs to here the attachment to the angled pipe bends under water, doing this should be done on at least two. To increase the show value in High point of a pipe bend according to the invention or the combination of several artificial lights integrated his.

In deviation from the arch shape is it possible at an angle on one side cut pipe segments an acute, thus also assemble self-supporting above-ground fish passage, whereby the underwater pipe ends analogous to the v.g. Horizontal pipe bends Inlet and outlet openings exhibit. The horizontal pipe sections under water with the inlet and outlet openings are firmly connected to the respective pipe segment on a base plate. To relieve the connection point at the apex or high point the acute-angled pipe construction can be used for larger diameters of the pipe segments bracing may be provided.

The particular advantage of such acute-angled training is that if necessary Inclusion of air at the high point, the removal of which is easier and the water level is raised again by an outside the described circulation pump in combined Form a vent and at the same time through separate feed and discharge lines a volume replenishment with pond water or the desired one vent performs. A circulation line becomes a constant supply of fresh water used and thus indirectly a temperature control in the over water projecting pipe segments.

Here is a switch using a built-in T-piece necessary.

It is also possible to increase the volume of the Water level in the assembled To achieve pipe segments if the volume generation on the one hand via the Pressure side of the circulation pump and on the other hand the suction side of the Pump is connected to the circulation line.

The circulation line mainly consists of a translucent material and can in the respective pipe segment or be firmly attached to this outside.

The invention is intended to: embodiments are explained in more detail. The figures below are shown:

1 : Elbow with support at the apex and side attachment

A transparent bow 1 , consisting of silicate or organic glass, has such a span that an ornamental fish pond 5 until it is bridged near the shore and its predominant part is visible above the water surface. The clear elbow 1 is completely filled with pond water due to the balancing pressure conditions and it is supported 2 that like the angled pipe ends 10 on pedestals 3 rests and with the mounting clamps 4 is fixed, held in a vertical position.

The angled pipe ends 10 have an inlet and outlet opening that widens outwards 9 , with the elbow 1 has such a diameter that all ornamental fish and pond inhabitants have enough space to swim through and past each other.

After execution according to 2 is a combination of pipe bends connected to each other 6 emerged. This can be done in the corridor 7 relevant segments of the pipe bends connecting there 6 or the combination of a clear pipe bend 1 be formed with others. In the corridor 7 have the ornamental fish or other pond bees residents have the opportunity to freely choose their further swimming direction. Above the corridor 7 can also be used to increase the attractiveness, preferably solar powered lighting 8th be attached.

A central support of this arrangement is dispensed with due to the now self-supporting properties of the resulting construction of pipe bends connected to one another at a crossing point 6 , so that only a pair of mounting clamps 4 becomes necessary.

The embodiment according to 2 oriented on two intersecting pipe bends 6 , However, it is contemplated to integrate more, e.g. B. to achieve star-shaped training.

3 shows the position and the size relationships of the acute-angled fish passage assembled from several pipe sections, with a stiffening depending on the selected diameter and the resulting water load 12 is provided.

In 4 it is shown how regulation / lifting can be carried out in a simple manner in the event of air being trapped in the high point of the construction and the associated decrease in the water level, which leads to the fact that it is impossible to swim through the passage.

In one of the pipe segments 11 for example, there is a circulation line inside 13 which is used for fresh water circulation and alternatively for venting and volume replenishment by means of a circulation pump connected to it 15 the water suction from the high point of the pipe segments 11 and with her - over a T-piece 14 adjustable - ventilation and filling with pond water is effected.

The circulation line 13 can also be used in a clear pipe bend 1 or in the connected pipe bends 6 be provided.

The underwater and horizontal to the pipe segments 11 attached pipe pieces rest in a base plate 16 , which in turn is firmly connected to an existing base.

For cleaning the transparent pipe bend at certain intervals 1 , the translucent connected pipe bends 6 or the pipe segments 11 it can be provided that mechanical cleaning agents in the form of a manually rotatable round brush or a hydropneumatic brush with flow propulsion are used.
