Description

この発明は、複数の水槽を積み重ね状に設置するために使用される台座部材に関する。   The present invention relates to a base member used for installing a plurality of water tanks in a stacked manner.

水槽を使った生物の飼育において、例えば熱帯魚や亀などの生物の種別毎に別けて飼育したい場合には、その生物種別に対応して複数の水槽を用意するのが一般的であり、従来では、複数の水槽を積み重ね状に配置する手段がなったことから、複数段の棚を設けて各棚にそれぞれ水槽を設置するなどの工夫をしていた。   In the breeding of organisms using aquariums, for example, if you want to breed separately for each type of organism such as tropical fish or turtle, it is common to prepare multiple aquariums corresponding to the type of organism, Since there has been a means for arranging a plurality of water tanks in a stacked form, a plurality of shelves are provided and a water tank is installed on each shelf.

ところで、従来より、水槽上に一定の隙間を残して蓋体を設置できるように、水槽のガラス側壁板のコーナ部位に嵌合するスペーサ部材を装着するようにした技術が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
特開２０００−１１６２７１号公報 By the way, conventionally, there has been known a technique in which a spacer member fitted to a corner portion of a glass side wall plate of a water tank is mounted so that a lid can be installed while leaving a certain gap on the water tank (for example, , See Patent Document 1).
JP 2000-116271 A

しかしながら、前述したように、棚を設けて水槽を設置する場合は、棚をわざわざ造作しなければならず、面倒である。   However, as described above, when a shelf is provided and a water tank is installed, the shelf must be specially made, which is troublesome.

また、前記公知技術のように、水槽のガラス側壁板のコーナ部位に嵌合するスペーサ部材を装着するものでは、あくまでも蓋体のような軽量のものを支持するのに限られており、仮にそのスペーサ部材を使用して蓋体の代わりに同種の水槽を積み重ね状に設置するとしても、下段の水槽のガラス側壁板上で上段の水槽を支えることになり、強度上の保証が得られず、実用的ではない。   In addition, as in the above-described known technology, the one that attaches the spacer member that fits to the corner portion of the glass side wall plate of the aquarium is limited to supporting a lightweight member such as a lid, and temporarily Even if the same kind of water tanks are installed in a stacked form instead of the lid using the spacer member, the upper water tank will be supported on the glass side wall plate of the lower water tank, and the guarantee on strength cannot be obtained, Not practical.

この発明は、複数の水槽を簡単に積み重ね設置でき、強度上の不安も解消できる水槽積み重ね用台座部材およびこの台座部材を備えた水槽を提供することを課題としている。   It is an object of the present invention to provide a water tank stacking pedestal member that can easily stack and install a plurality of water tanks, and that can eliminate anxiety in strength, and a water tank provided with the pedestal member.

上記課題は以下の手段によって解決される。   The above problem is solved by the following means.

［１］平面形状が角形の底板の各コーナ部に迫り出された筒形台座にそれぞれ筒形の支柱を立設し、各支柱間に透明側壁板をそれぞれ支持させてなる複数の水槽を積み重ね状に設置するために使用される台座部材であって、
前記台座部材は、水槽における複数の支柱の各上端開口にそれぞれ嵌着されて、上側に積み重ねられる別の水槽の台座の各下端開口をそれぞれ嵌合・支持する複数の連結具を有していることを特徴とする水槽積み重ね用台座部材。 [1] Stacking a plurality of water tanks, each of which has a cylindrical column upright on a cylindrical pedestal protruding from each corner of the square bottom plate and supports a transparent side wall plate between the columns. A pedestal member used to install in a shape,
The pedestal member has a plurality of couplers that are respectively fitted to and supported by the respective lower end openings of the pedestal of another water tank that are respectively fitted to the upper end openings of the plurality of support posts in the water tank and stacked on the upper side. A water tank stacking pedestal member characterized by that.

［２］前記複数の連結具は、補強体を介して一体形成されている前項１に記載の水槽積み重ね用台座部材。   [2] The water tank stacking pedestal member according to [1], wherein the plurality of connectors are integrally formed via a reinforcing body.

［３］前記補強体は、前記水槽上に積み重ねられる別の水槽の底板下面を支持する支持部を有している前項２に記載の水槽積み重ね用台座部材。   [3] The water tank stacking pedestal member according to the above item 2, wherein the reinforcing body has a support portion that supports a bottom surface of a bottom plate of another water tank stacked on the water tank.

［４］前項１〜３のいずれかに記載の水槽積み重ね用台座部材を備えたことを特徴とする水槽。   [4] A water tank comprising the water tank stacking pedestal member according to any one of items 1 to 3.

前項［１］の記載の発明によれば、水槽における複数本の各支柱の上側開口にそれぞれ連結具をそれぞれ嵌着し、これら連結具に別の水槽の台座を嵌合させれば、簡単に水槽を積み重ねて設置することができる。   According to the invention described in [1] in the previous section, if connecting tools are respectively fitted to the upper openings of the plurality of pillars in the water tank, and a base of another water tank is fitted to these connecting tools, Aquariums can be stacked and installed.

この場合、複数段の棚を設ける手間などが不要となり、とくに、前記積み重ね状態において、水槽における複数の支柱により上側の水槽を支持する構造であるから、下側の水槽の透明側壁板に上側の水槽の荷重がかからず、強度上の不安もなく安心して使用することができる。   In this case, there is no need to provide a plurality of shelves, and in particular, in the stacked state, the upper water tank is supported by a plurality of support columns in the water tank, so the upper side of the transparent side wall plate of the lower water tank The tank is not loaded, and it can be used with confidence without worrying about strength.

前項［２］の記載の発明によれば、台座部材としての複数の連結具が補強体を介して一体形成されて連結されているから、積み重ね状態での上側水槽の荷重を受けて連結具各間が拡開しようとしても、前記補強体の剛性により、その拡開を有効に阻止することができる。   According to the invention described in item [2] above, since the plurality of connectors as the pedestal members are integrally formed and connected via the reinforcing body, each of the couplers receives the load of the upper water tank in the stacked state. Even if the gap is to be expanded, the expansion can be effectively prevented by the rigidity of the reinforcing body.

前項［３］の記載の発明によれば、前記補強体における支持部が前記上側の水槽の底板下面を支持するから、上側の水槽に対する支持状態が一段と安定し、積み重ね段数の増数も可能となる。   According to the invention described in [3] above, since the support portion in the reinforcing body supports the lower surface of the bottom plate of the upper water tank, the support state with respect to the upper water tank is further stabilized, and the number of stacked stages can be increased. Become.

前項［４］の記載の発明によれば、複数の水槽を簡単かつ安全な状態に積み重ね設置することができる。   According to the invention described in [4], the plurality of water tanks can be stacked and installed in a simple and safe state.

前記水槽１（２）は、例えば平面４角形の底板１１と、底板１１の各コーナ部付近にそれぞれ立設された４本の支柱１２と、底板１１の各辺に対応して支持される４個の透明側壁板１３…とを備えている。   The water tank 1 (2) is supported corresponding to each side of the bottom plate 11, for example, a flat rectangular bottom plate 11, four support columns 12 erected in the vicinity of each corner portion of the bottom plate 11, and 4. Transparent side wall plates 13...

前記底板１１は、例えば合成樹脂からなり、各辺部には、透明側壁板１３の各下端がそれぞれ嵌合される溝条１１ａが形成されており、また、４つのコーナ部から迫り出した位置には、支柱用台座１１１が一体形成されている。なお、底板１１の下面には、例えば格子形の補強リブ１１２が一体形成されている。   The bottom plate 11 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and each side portion is formed with a groove 11a into which each lower end of the transparent side wall plate 13 is fitted, and is in a position protruding from the four corner portions. The pedestal pedestal 111 is integrally formed. For example, lattice-shaped reinforcing ribs 112 are integrally formed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 11.

前記台座１１１は、円筒のままでもよいが、この例では、周面の一部が、図９に示すように、支柱１２と同様に、９０°の開き角度で半径方向へ凹入されて全長にわたる凹入部５１となっている。   The pedestal 111 may remain a cylinder, but in this example, as shown in FIG. 9, a part of the peripheral surface is recessed in the radial direction at an opening angle of 90 ° as in the support column 12, and the entire length is It becomes the recessed part 51 over.

前記支柱１２…は、例えば合成樹脂製の略円筒体からなり、下端部１２ａを前記台座１１１に嵌着することにより、前記底板１１上に堅固に立設されている。   The pillars 12 are made of, for example, a substantially cylindrical body made of synthetic resin, and are firmly erected on the bottom plate 11 by fitting a lower end portion 12a to the pedestal 111.

支柱１２…の周面の一部は、図４に示すように、９０°の開き角度（θ）で半径方向へ凹入されて全長にわたる凹入部１２１となっている。この凹入部１２１は、仕切り壁１２２を介して分かれた２つの縦溝部１２１ａ，１２１ｂとなっており、一方の縦溝部１２１ａは、前記透明側壁板１３の隣接端部を嵌入させて外側から保持し、また、他方の縦溝部１２１ｂは、前記透明側壁板１３と隣接関係にある透明側壁板１３の隣接端部を嵌入させて外側から保持するようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 4, a part of the circumferential surface of the support pillars 12 is recessed in the radial direction at an opening angle (θ) of 90 ° to form a recessed portion 121 extending over the entire length. The recessed portion 121 is divided into two vertical groove portions 121a and 121b separated by a partition wall 122. One vertical groove portion 121a is fitted into the adjacent end portion of the transparent side wall plate 13 and held from the outside. The other vertical groove 121b is adapted to hold the adjacent end of the transparent side wall plate 13 adjacent to the transparent side wall plate 13 from the outside.

前記４個の透明側壁板１３…は、例えば角形の平板ガラスから構成されている。勿論、この透明側壁板１３は、ガラスに限らず、例えば透明の合成樹脂製のものであってもよく、また、平板のものに限らず、水槽１（２）全体の構造から湾曲状のものであってもよい。   The four transparent side wall plates 13 are made of, for example, rectangular flat glass. Of course, the transparent side wall plate 13 is not limited to glass, but may be made of, for example, a transparent synthetic resin, or is not limited to a flat plate, but is curved from the entire structure of the water tank 1 (2). It may be.

なお、水槽１（２）の単独使用時には、前記４本の支柱１２…の各上端開口１２ｂに支柱１２…と略同径の筒形キャップ１４が着脱可能に嵌着されるようになっている。

Incidentally, when used alone aquarium 1 (2) it is adapted to the four posts 12 ... each of the upper end opening 12b of the strut 12 ... and substantially the same diameter cylindrical cap 14 is fitted detachably Yes.

前記水槽１上に別の水槽２を積み重ねるためには、前記台座部材３を使用する。   In order to stack another water tank 2 on the water tank 1, the base member 3 is used.

この台座部材３は、前記キャップ１４を外して、支柱１２の上端開口１２ｂにそれぞれ嵌着される４個の連結具３１…から構成されている。   The pedestal member 3 is composed of four coupling members 31... That are respectively fitted to the upper end openings 12 b of the support columns 12 with the cap 14 removed.

前記連結具３１は、図４〜図６に示すように、上下方向の略中央の円形つば部３２が基体となっており、このつば部３２の下面には、前記支柱１２の上端開口１２ｂに内嵌される中空突出部３３が一体形成されており、また、つば部３２の上面には、上側に積み重ねられる水槽２の台座１１１の下端開口１１１ａに内嵌される中空突出部３４が一体形成されている。
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the coupling 31 has a circular collar portion 32 at a substantially central portion in the vertical direction as a base, and the lower surface of the collar portion 32 has an upper end opening 12 b of the column 12. A hollow projecting portion 33 to be internally fitted is integrally formed, and a hollow projecting portion 34 to be internally fitted to the lower end opening 111 a of the base 111 of the water tank 2 stacked on the upper side is integrally formed on the upper surface of the collar portion 32. Has been.

前記下部中空突出部３３の周面の一部には、図６に示すように、前記支柱１２の凹入部１２１に対応する凹入部３３１が形成されており、その凹入部３３１の対向面には、支柱１２における凹入部１２１の内周面を圧接する２本の凸条３３ａ，３３ａが一体形成されており、また、下部中空突出部３３における凹入部１２１とは反対側の外周面には、図６に示すように、前記支柱１２の凹入部１２１とは反対側の内周面を圧接する２本の凸条３３ｂ，３３ｂが一体形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 6, a recessed portion 331 corresponding to the recessed portion 121 of the support column 12 is formed on a part of the peripheral surface of the lower hollow protruding portion 33. In addition, two protrusions 33a and 33a that press-contact the inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion 121 in the support column 12 are integrally formed, and the outer peripheral surface of the lower hollow protruding portion 33 opposite to the recessed portion 121 is As shown in FIG. 6, two ridges 33b and 33b that press-contact the inner peripheral surface of the column 12 opposite to the recessed portion 121 are integrally formed.

一方、上部中空突出部３４の周面の一部には、図４に示すように、凹入部３４１が全長にわたって形成されており、その凹入部３４１の対向面には、２本の凸条３４ａ，３４ａが一体形成されており、また、上部中空突出部３４における凹入部３４１とは反対側の外周面には、前記台座１１１における凹入部５１の内周面に圧接する２本の凸条３４ｂ，３４ｂが一体形成されている。

On the other hand, a part of the peripheral surface of the upper hollow protrusion 34, as shown in FIG. 4, and concave join the club 341 is formed over the entire length, on the facing surface of the recess 341, two protrusions 34a , 34a are integrally formed, and on the outer peripheral surface of the upper hollow projecting portion 34 opposite to the recessed portion 341, two ridges 34b that are in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion 51 in the pedestal 111 are provided. , 34b are integrally formed.

ついで、前記水槽１上に別の水槽２を積み重ねる手順を説明する。   Next, a procedure for stacking another water tank 2 on the water tank 1 will be described.

まず、前記水槽１における４箇所の支柱１２の各上端開口１２ｂに装着しているキャップ１４を外してから前記支柱１２…に台座部材３を装着する。

First, mounting the base member 3 to the strut 12 ... to remove the cap 14 that is attached to the upper end opening 12b of the tub 1 at four positions of the struts 12.

具体的には、図７に示すように各支柱１２の各上端開口１２ｂにそれぞれ前記連結具３１における下部中空突出部３３を嵌入する。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the lower hollow protrusion 33 in the connector 31 is fitted into each upper end opening 12 b of each column 12.

この嵌入状態では、図８に示すように、前記下部中空突出部３３における凸条３３ａ，３３ａが支柱１２の凹入部１２１の内周面を圧接し、さらに、凸条３３ｂ，３３ｂが支柱１２の凹入部１２１とは反対側の内周面を圧接するので、前記連結具３１は支柱１２の上端開口１２ｂに堅固に固定される。

In this inserted state, as shown in FIG. 8, the ridges 33 a and 33 a in the lower hollow protruding portion 33 press-contact the inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion 121 of the support column 12, and the ridges 33 b and 33 b are further connected to the support column 12. since the recess 121 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the opposite side, the connector 31 is firmly fixed to the upper end opening 12b of the strut 12.

この状態で、前記４個の連結具３１…の各上部中空突出部３４に対して、図７に示すように、積み重ねられる別の水槽２の台座１１１の各下端開口１１１ａを嵌合すれば、前記水槽２が水槽１上に支持される。   In this state, as shown in FIG. 7, each lower end opening 111a of the pedestal 111 of another water tank 2 to be stacked is fitted to each upper hollow protrusion 34 of the four connectors 31. The water tank 2 is supported on the water tank 1.

この嵌入状態では、図９に示すように、前記上部中空突出部３４における凸条３４ａ，３４ａが上側水槽２における台座１１１の凹入部５１の内周面を圧接し、さらに、凸条３４ｂ，３４ｂが台座１１１の凹入部５１とは反対側の内周面を圧接するから、上側の水槽２がぐらつくこと無く支持される。   In this inserted state, as shown in FIG. 9, the protrusions 34 a and 34 a in the upper hollow protrusion 34 press against the inner peripheral surface of the recess 51 of the base 111 in the upper water tank 2, and the protrusions 34 b and 34 b are further pressed. However, since the inner peripheral surface of the pedestal 111 opposite to the recessed portion 51 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface, the upper water tank 2 is supported without wobbling.

勿論、前記連結具３１の下部中空突出部３３や上部中空突出部３４などの形状は、それぞれ下側水槽１の支柱１２や上側水槽２の台座１１１の形状に応じて任意に変更可能である。また、連結具３１を支柱１２の上端開口１２ｂや台座１１１の下端開口１１１ａに対して嵌着した際に圧入状態にさせることに限られるものではなく、例えば連結具３１を回転させて下側水槽１の支柱１２側と上側水槽２の台座１１１とをねじ締め式で密に連結させる構造など、適宜変形例を採用可能である。   Of course, the shapes of the lower hollow protrusion 33 and the upper hollow protrusion 34 of the connector 31 can be arbitrarily changed according to the shapes of the support column 12 of the lower water tank 1 and the base 111 of the upper water tank 2, respectively. Moreover, it is not restricted to making it press-fit when the connection tool 31 is fitted with respect to the upper end opening 12b of the support | pillar 12, or the lower end opening 111a of the base 111, For example, the connection tool 31 is rotated and a lower water tank is rotated. It is possible to adopt modifications as appropriate, such as a structure in which the side of one strut 12 and the pedestal 111 of the upper water tank 2 are tightly coupled by a screwing method.

このように、水槽１の各コーナ部付近における４つの支柱１２…の各上端開口１２ｂに台座部材３である４個の連結具３１をそれぞれ嵌着すれば、この連結具３１を介して前記別の水槽２を簡単に積み重ねることができ、水槽設置用の複数段の棚を設けたりする手間などが不要となる。   In this way, if the four connecting members 31 that are the base members 3 are respectively fitted to the upper end openings 12b of the four struts 12 in the vicinity of the corners of the water tank 1, the separate members are connected via the connecting members 31. The water tank 2 can be easily stacked, and the trouble of providing a plurality of shelves for installing the water tank becomes unnecessary.

とくに、前記積み重ね状態において、水槽１における４本の支柱１２…で上側水槽２を支持する構造であるから、ガラスのような透明側壁板１３…が上側水槽２の荷重を受けることはなく、従って、下側の水槽１について強度上の不安を抱くこともなく、安心して使用することができる。   In particular, in the stacked state, since the upper water tank 2 is supported by the four support columns 12 in the water tank 1, the transparent side wall plates 13 such as glass do not receive the load of the upper water tank 2, and therefore The lower water tank 1 can be used with confidence without worrying about strength.

なお、前記水槽１の透明側壁板１３の上端面と上側の水槽２の底板１１の下面との間には、前記連結具３１のつば部３２の厚さ分相当の隙間が存在するから、空気の取り込みは維持され、このため、水槽２の積み重ねによって水槽１内の生物に悪影響を与える心配は全くない。   Note that there is a gap corresponding to the thickness of the flange portion 32 of the connector 31 between the upper end surface of the transparent side wall plate 13 of the water tank 1 and the lower surface of the bottom plate 11 of the upper water tank 2. Therefore, there is no concern that the accumulation of the water tank 2 will adversely affect the organisms in the water tank 1.

また、つば部３２の厚みを増やせば、水槽１，２の間に空間ができ、濾過器や照明等を設置することも可能である。   Further, if the thickness of the collar portion 32 is increased, a space is created between the water tanks 1 and 2, and a filter, illumination, etc. can be installed.

図１０および図１１は、この発明の他の実施形態を示し、前記実施形態と同一もしくは相当部所には、同一符号を付して説明を省略する。   10 and 11 show another embodiment of the present invention. The same or corresponding parts as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

水槽１上に別の水槽２を積み重ねるために使用する台座部材３は、図１２〜図１５にも示すように、前記４つの連結具３１と、これら連結具３１が一体に連成された補強体４１とから構成されている。

Base member 3 to be used for stacking another tub 2 on water tank 1, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, and the four connecting members 31, connecting member 31 is formed continuously integrally these The reinforcement body 41 is comprised.

この補強体４１は、例えば合成樹脂からなり、隣接関係にある連結具同士を連結する４辺の梁部４２…と、４辺の梁部４２…に囲まれて一体形成された平板部４３とからなる。

The reinforcement 41 is, for example, a synthetic resin, and adjacency four sides of the beam portion 42 ... for connecting the connecting Gudo workers in the flat plate portion 43 which is integrally formed by being surrounded by the beam portion 42 ... of four sides It consists of.

前記梁部４２は、例えば複数の補強リブ４２ａを有し、平面形状が梯子形に形成されている。また、前記平板部４３の下面にも、例えば格子状の補強リブ４４が一体形成されている。

The beam portion 42 has, for example, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 42a , and the planar shape is formed in a ladder shape. In addition, for example, lattice-shaped reinforcing ribs 44 are integrally formed on the lower surface of the flat plate portion 43.

前記補強体４１においては、水槽１上に積み重ねられる別の水槽２の底板１１の下面を均等的に支持するための支持部が、例えば前記梁部４２…で構成されている。勿論、梁部４２で前記支持部を構成することに限らず、例えば、平板部４３で構成してもよい。

Wherein the reinforcing member 41, the support portion for evenly to support the lower surface of the bottom plate 11 of another water tank 2 to be stacked on the water tank 1 is constituted for example by the beam portion 42 .... Of course, the support part is not limited to the beam part 42, and may be a flat part 43, for example.

この実施形態においても、前記水槽１における４箇所の支柱１２の各上端開口１２ｂに装着しているキャップ１４を外してから、前記支柱１２…に台座部材３を装着する。

Also in this embodiment, to remove the cap 14 that is attached to the upper end opening 12b of the tub 1 at four positions of the struts 12, attaching the base member 3 to the strut 12 ....

具体的には、図１５に示すように、各支柱１２…の各上端開口１２ｂにそれぞれ各連結具３１における下部中空突出部３３を嵌入し、ついで、各連結具３１の上部中空突出部３４に対して別の水槽２の台座１１１の下端開口１１１ａを嵌着すれば、水槽１上に水槽２を簡単に積み重ね設置することができる。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the lower hollow protrusions 33 of the respective couplers 31 are fitted into the upper end openings 12 b of the respective pillars 12. On the other hand, if the lower end opening 111a of the base 111 of another water tank 2 is fitted, the water tank 2 can be easily stacked and installed on the water tank 1.

この場合、台座部材３における４個の連結具３１…が補強体４１を介して一体に連結されているので、水槽１上に水槽２を積み重ねた状態において、上側の水槽２の荷重で４つの連結具３１…各間が拡開しようとしても、これを前記補強体４１の剛性で阻止することができる。

In this case, since the four connecting tools 31 in the base member 3 are integrally connected via the reinforcing body 41, in the state where the water tank 2 is stacked on the water tank 1, there are four loads by the load of the upper water tank 2. Even if the connection tool 31... Tries to expand, the rigidity of the reinforcing body 41 can prevent this.

さらに、前記補強体４１のうちの、例えば梁部４２が積み重ね状態の水槽２の底板１１の下面に対しての支持部を構成しているから、前記水槽２の安定支持状態が確保できる。これにより、水槽１（２）が極端に大形・大重量でなければ、積み重ね段数をさらに増やすことも可能となる。   Furthermore, since the beam portion 42 of the reinforcing body 41 constitutes a support portion for the lower surface of the bottom plate 11 of the water tank 2 in a stacked state, a stable support state of the water tank 2 can be ensured. Thereby, if the tank 1 (2) is not extremely large and heavy, the number of stacked stages can be further increased.

なお、この実施形態においても、前記水槽１の透明側壁板１３の上端面と上側の水槽２の底板１１の下面との間には、前記連結具３１の長寸のつば部３２の厚さ分の隙間が存在するから、空気の取り込みは維持される。このため、水槽２の積み重ねによって水槽１内の生物に悪影響を与える心配は全くない。   In this embodiment, the thickness of the long collar portion 32 of the connecting tool 31 is between the upper end surface of the transparent side wall plate 13 of the water tank 1 and the lower surface of the bottom plate 11 of the upper water tank 2. Since there is a gap, air intake is maintained. For this reason, there is no fear that the organisms in the water tank 1 will be adversely affected by the accumulation of the water tank 2.

また、つば部３２の厚みを増やせば、水槽１，２の間に空間ができ、濾過器や照明等を設置することも可能である。   Further, if the thickness of the collar portion 32 is increased, a space is created between the water tanks 1 and 2, and a filter, illumination, etc. can be installed.
