  • Submersible cage and system for fish farming
    Patent number: 8881682
    Abstract: A submersible rotatable cage for fish farming comprises a central axle, a buoyant structure positioned about the central axle, and a netting attached to the buoyant structure. An actuator can be placed in operable communication with at least part of the buoyant structure to facilitate rotation of the buoyant structure about the central axle while the cage is in a submerged position. The cage can form part of a system, which includes a net cleaning apparatus, a tethering mechanism and sweep net, that forms the basis for underwater fish farming.

  • Submersible cage and system for fish farming
    Patent number: 7748349
    Abstract: A submersible rotatable cage for fish farming comprises a central axle, a buoyant structure positioned about the central, a netting attached to the buoyant structure and an actuator in operable communication with at least part of the buoyant structure and adapted to facilitate rotation of the buoyant structure about the central axle while the cage is in a submerged position. The cage can form part of a system, which includes a net cleaning apparatus, a tethering mechanism and sweep net, that can be used for nearly complete underwater fish farming.

  • Opener structure for a container
    Patent number: 4544079
    Abstract: An opener structure for a container includes a slidable plate juxtaposed against an external wall of the container. Retainer devices such as rivets retain the plate against the wall but permit relative sliding between the wall and the plate. A resilient punch supported from the plate rests on a shelf defined by the wall. A region of weakness lies adjacent the shelf so that if the plate slides away from the shelf, the punch will pierce the line of weakness and rupture it. A lever is provided to cause the plate to slide away from the shelf.
