  • Patent number: 12193419
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a water filter for an aquarium that includes a housing, a cover, a removable first and second body, and an actuator. The housing includes an interior area configured to house filtration cartridges and an opening closable by the cover. The first body is configured to be in operative fluid connection with a water inlet and the second body is configured to be in operative fluid connection with the housing interior area through the cover, and is operatively releasably engageable therewith. The first and second bodies are releasably engageable in fluid tight connection, and each include a valve in operative connection therewith. The actuator is in operative connection with at least one of the valves and operation thereof is operative to simultaneously change each valve between the respective open and closed positions.

  • Patent number: 11684048
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a water filter for an aquarium comprising a housing with an interior area configured to house a plurality of filtration cartridges, at least one first clamp and at least one second clamp, and a cover with a lid in operative movable+connection therewith. The cover includes a roughing filter chamber that is in operative fluid connection with the housing interior area and a first connection port that is in operative fluid connection with a water inlet, and a second connection port in operative fluid connection with a water outlet and the housing interior area. The first and second clamps are in operative connection with the housing and are releasably engageable with a rim extending around the cover and the lid. In a disengaged position of the second clamp, the lid is movable between open and closed positions while the cover is maintained in engagement with the housing.

  • Patent number: 9579594
    Abstract: A seal comprises a lid that is rotary-mounted to a filter container base and has a body with at least two stub pipes and an internal part attached to the body in which are formed circulation ducts positioned as an extension of the stub pipes in opened position, and at least one bypass duct connecting the stub pipes in closed position. The internal part is attached to the body using a rotary bayonet mount by rotating to closed position in which the stub pipes are connected by the bypass duct, and the body together with the attached internal part are attached to the base using a rotate-and-lock bayonet mount. In closed position the internal part is attached to the base in a stationary manner using a longitudinal head joint formed on the joined elements, and the changing to opened position occurs by rotating the body in the rotate-and-lock bayonet mount.

  • Publication number: 20070029239
    Abstract: External filter for filtering fluids, especially water in aquarium, is composed of a filter container, a filtering packs, a cover unit, an engine unit together with a rotor and a working chamber with a piston unit and a non-return valve. Between the working chamber (22) with the piston unit (17) and the inflow conduits of fluid circulation is situated durably separately fastened, preferably rotationally, the control unit (9) with the controlling element (1) assembled movably towards the control unit (9) having a fluid inflow hole (6), a fluid outflow hole (2) and a hole of pumping cycle (4). Reciprocal position of fluid inflow hole (6) and fluid outflow hole (2) corresponds to the inflow terminal (11) outflow terminal (12) of fluid distribution situated in the control unit (9) and between working chamber (22) and hole of pumping cycle (4) the control valve (3) is situated.
