ABSTRACT:
An aquarium cleaning apparatus is described that preferably incorporates a number of features including: (1) a swivel head connected to the siphon hose which rotates as the apparatus is maneuvered around an aquarium; (2) extension tubes to lengthen the cleaning tube assembly so that the apparatus can be used, for example, in aquariums having a greater height; (3) a self-starting feature that has a novel two-piece check ball assembly which permits "self-starting" of the siphon action; (4) an angled spout on the swivel head which connects to the siphon hose to facilitate self-starting; (5) an angled corner on the cleaning tube assembly which permits the apparatus to access and effectively clean the gravel adjacent to the walls and corners of the aquarium; (6) an aesthetically attractive contoured gripping tube; (7) a screen which prevents aquarium gravel from jamming the check valve assembly; and (8) a scraper assembly and scrubber assembly which may be attached to the apparatus for removing deposits to accumulate upon the interior surface of an aquarium.
