Description

Short description * Me'r ¹ Fistthfdlle '* "'

1. The aquarium fish trap I built consists of one Plexiglas housing with 2 rectangular cutouts, 4 guide strips for the drop flaps. The two pall flaps are Operated by the drawstring. Above and below there are stop strips.

2. Der_Haugtstützpunkt_des_Gebrauchsmuster_:

The main base refers to the lower part of the Fall on the floor.

When removing the trap from the aquarium, there is always water in the lower area of the trap No longer touching or catching caught animals with the net, you can move them with the fish trap. In this type of trap, the risk of injury that can occur with the landing net has been avoided from the outset could en.

THE FISH TRAP:

For 3 years I have owned a 4001 pool in which only African chichlids swim. Since the basin is full of If there is lava rock, the animals can hide well in the rock. If I wanted to take out an animal, I always had to empty the basin. I can't get an animal out with the net. Since I am a hobby breeder myself, I have some thoughts made about how to get the animals out of the large tank more easily without having to empty the tank. Now I've started to build a fish trap.

I got myself plexiglass, built a rectangular box out of it, and on the side were the cutouts for the Drop flap made, guide strips glued in, the 30g lead weight was attached to the drop flap, was fixed with 5 mm plastic screws screwed on. Now it was the turn of the tape for the drop flap. The flap was pushed into the guide rails and the trap was ready.

Later in the aquarium it worked perfectly. All I have to do is put some food into the trap from above and the fish will pull itself towards the feed, i.e. also towards the trap. If the right fish is in it, the drop flaps are dropped. Have to be patient V ^ you already have, sometimes it doesn't work right away. Since I With this trap, I get every animal out of my tank without hurting the fish, possibly with a landing net, which I do has already happened at the landing net. You can't do with a landing net what you can do with this trap. Later I glued a bottom into the trap so that I can take out any fish with the trap without them with the Even just touching the net.

No matter who saw this fish trap on me, said that would be awesome, there should be something like that. So I did the job of doing this Draw and explain trap.

Manufacturing guidelines:

1.) Manufacturing the housing;

The housing can be made by deep drawing in three passes and the openings can be punched out.

2.) Upper delimitation bar;

Since dimensional accuracy is not very important, the upper Boundary bar can be punched out of 4mm thick material. The radii (5mm) may have to be reworked because the thread runs over them.

3 ·) leadership;

The guide can be milled from 10 mm thick material. Exact dimensional accuracy is not required because the drop plate has play in every direction. However, the fun = rungsflache have a surface roughness, which Use the weights to let the fall plates slide freely downwards.

The slope 6x45 ° must be adapted to the inner radius of the housing, which results from deep drawing.

4i) drop plate;

Can be punched from 4mm thick material. Possibly reworking the guide surfaces (as for 3). The eyelet can be pressed into the workpiece (drop plate) after heating. Or as the picture of the single part drawing shows, cast directly into the drop plate.

5.) eyelet;

The eyelet can be bent from approx. 2mm thick wire. A 3.6mm hole could also be drilled into the drop plate and a 5n thread cut in it and a 5mm plastic screw can be glued into this A 2.5mm hole is drilled into the screw into which the drawstring could be attached.

6.) weight;

Can be cut from bar profile. The mass of the weight must be large enough to make the fall plate unrestrained to move down.

The weight can be glued to the outside of the fish trap or screws can be attached.

7 ·) lower limit bar;

Can be punched out of 4mm thick material.

θ.) Perlon thread

Its length must depend on the height of the aquarium and on Befes = opportunities for the outside world. It is recommended to use a thread of about 3m length for self-connection matching.

Claims (3)

· ♦ 1. Aqarium-F lsohfall e, characterized by 2 rectangular drop flaps, each with 1 weight and drawstring. 2. Aqarium fish trap according to claim 1, characterized marked because · dl »trap made of plexiglass (polymethyl methacrylate) There are also 2. rectangular cutouts and 4 guide rails intended. 3. Aqarium fish trap according to claim 2, characterized characterized in that the lower part is trough-shaped, this results when the trap is made. This tub-open lower part results in the minimum water level, which must be present at all times, so that the animal never comes out of the aquarium without water.
