Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for attaching a water tank to a top plate, and is intended to allow the aquarium to be attached accurately and easily, and to simplify the device. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a top plate made of wood or the like, which has a hole 2 for attaching a water tank, in which is provided a water tank 3 made of a material such as stainless steel, which is attached by a device to be described later. Reference numeral 4 denotes a stand for the top plate 1, and a mound 6 protruding from the upper surface of the top plate 1 is provided to substantially match the mounting hole 2. ea, eb.

6c and ad are movable plates mounted on the four corners of the mound 6 so as to slightly protrude from the outer periphery of the mound 6, and the protruding portions A, B, C, and D (see Figs. 3 and 4). The outer periphery is formed to follow and match the shape of the inner wall 3a of the water tank 3. Reference numeral 7 indicates the movable plates ea, eb, ec, ad provided protruding from the upper surface of the mound 6 and formed in an L shape.
with anti-movement body.

The movable plates ea, eb, esc, and ad are arranged in the space 6a formed by the preventive body 7, respectively.

Attaching the water tank 3 to the top plate 1 using the apparatus described above is carried out as follows. First, the top plate 1 is placed on the stand 4 with its surface facing down as shown in FIG. At this time, the mound 6 is located within the hole 2 when installing the aquarium. Next, each movable plate 6a, 6b, 6c, a is placed on the space 6a of the mound 6.
d, and then move the movable plate 6a with the aquarium 3 turned over from above.

6b, 6c, 6dK When covered, each movable plate 6a, e
b, ec, ad protruding parts A, B, C.

The outer periphery of D contacts the inner wall 3a of the water tank 3.

In the above, the water tank 3 has movable plates aa and eb.

3, -7 sc, ad, the attachment of the top plate 1 is located exactly relative to the hole 2. Further, since the top plate 1 is mounted with a mound 6 located within the hole 2, movement in the left, right, front and rear directions is prevented.

To attach the water tank 3 to the top plate 1 set in the device as described above, attach fixing tools such as screws to the 7-rank portion 3b of the water tank 3.
(not shown), or as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6, the adhesive 8 may be injected into the 7-rank portion 3b and cured to be attached. In this case, protrusions 9 and 1o are provided on the back surface of the top plate 1 along the shape of the hole 2 to prevent the adhesive 8 from spreading. Reference numeral 11 indicates an injector for the adhesive 8.

The water tank 3 attached as described above is removed from the stand 4 together with the top plate 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the top plate 1 is lifted upwards by holding both sides of the top plate 1, the protrusion 9 of the top plate 1 is moved upward to the movable plates 6a, 6b.
, 6c, ad are in contact with the lower surfaces of movable plates ea, eb, ec.
, ea move upward as shown by arrow A, so the top plate 1 and water tank 3 can be easily separated from the stand 4. Top plate 1
After removing the aquarium 3 from the stand 4, move the movable plate 6a.

eb, ec, and ad fall onto the mound 5 as shown by the arrowhead. At this time, the movable plates 6a, 6b, 6a, and 6d may fall from the mound 6 due to the impact of the fall.Note that the movable plates 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d are pivotally connected to the mound 6 by hinges (not shown). may have been done.

As described above, the device of the present invention allows the aquarium to be attached to the top plate so that it accurately faces the hole, and the attachment of the aquarium with adhesive or the like prevents the aquarium and the top plate from moving in some cases. Since there are no screws, installation is easy.

Furthermore, since the device is simple and has no mechanical elements, it has the advantage of being less likely to break down and can be manufactured at low cost.
