An automated magnetic rotary aquarium glass scraper and scratch remover, comprising:
- (A) a swivel, having
- (a) a swivel shaft, hexagonal-shaped to prevent slippage when held by an automatic rotational apparatus configured to generate rotational motion, and
- (b) a swivel ball joint configured to provide pivotal movement of the swivel;
- (B) a swivel housing, round-shaped, configured to pivotally hold the swivel, having
- (a) a ball joint retaining ring, configured to retain the swivel ball joint within the swivel housing, and
- (b) a swivel housing base;
- (C) a lid, round-shaped, having
- (a) a lid top surface,
- (b) a lid bottom surface, and
- (c) a lid groove disposed on the lid bottom surface, configured to extend across entire circumference of the lid bottom surface;
- (D) an external strut, rectangular-shaped, configured to releasably fit inside the lid groove;
- (E) a plurality of external magnets, each disc-shaped, forming
- (a) an external first stack of magnets, and
- (b) an external second stack of magnets;
- (F) an external magnets housing, cylindrically-shaped, having
- (a) an external magnets housing cylinder,
- (b) an external magnets housing base,
- (c) an external magnets housing base inner surface,
- (d) an external magnets housing base outer surface,
- (e) a first external magnets housing pocket, disposed on the external magnets housing base inner surface, configured to house the external first stack of magnets;
- and
- (f) a second external magnets housing pocket, disposed on the external magnets housing base inner surface, configured to house the external second stack of magnets;
- (G) wherein said external strut is configured to be positioned atop the plurality of external magnets disposed inside the external magnets housing creating magnetic connection between the plurality of external magnets thereby preventing movement thereof;
- (H) wherein the swivel housing holding the swivel is mounted to the lid, and the lid is configured to fit tightly into the external magnets housing securing firm releasable connection thereof, and thereby forming an external disc subassembly;
- (I) a cover, round-shaped, having a cover cavity configured to reduce weight of the cover;
- (J) an internal strut, rectangular-shaped;
- (K) a plurality of internal magnets, each disc-shaped, forming
- (a) an internal first stack of magnets, and
- (b) an internal second stack of magnets;
- (L) an internal magnets housing, cylindrically-shaped, having
- (a) an internal magnets housing cylinder,
- (b) an internal magnets housing base,
- (c) an internal magnets housing base inner surface,
- (d) an internal magnets housing base outer surface,
- (e) an internal magnets housing rectangular recess,
- (f) a first internal magnets housing pocket, disposed on the internal magnets housing base inner surface, configured to house the internal first stack of magnets, and
- (g) a second internal magnets housing pocket, disposed on the internal magnets housing base inner surface, configured to house the internal second stack of magnets;
- (M) a scraper, round-shaped, having
- (a) a scraper top surface,
- (b) a scraper bottom surface,
- (c) a scraper blades, disposed on the scraper top surface,
- (d) a scraper drive bar, disposed on the scraper bottom surface, and configured to slidably fit inside of the internal magnets housing rectangular recess;
- (N) wherein said internal strut is configured to be positioned atop the plurality of internal magnets disposed inside the internal magnets housing creating magnetic connection between the plurality of internal magnets thereby preventing movement thereof;
- (O) wherein the cover is configured to fit tightly into the internal magnets housing securing firm releasable connection thereof, and thereby forming an internal disc subassembly;
- (P) wherein the external disc subassembly is placed against an exterior glass surface of an aquarium, and the internal disc subassembly with is placed against an interior glass surface of the aquarium with the scraper blades urging upon the interior glass surface;
- (Q) wherein the automatic rotational apparatus is configured to cause rotation of the external disc subassembly;
- and
- (R) wherein the external disc subassembly is configured to cause corresponding rotation of the internal disc subassembly thereby causing the scraper blades to rotationally scrape the interior glass surface;
- whereby the scraper blades rotationally scraping the interior glass surface of the aquarium cause removal of algae buildup and elimination of scratches present on the interior glass surface.
