Appl. No.:

5/711562

Inventors:

Larry L. Snyder - Lincoln NE

Abstract:

A drum capable of being molded in 55 gallon size from high density, cross-linked polyethylene. The drum body or shell has substantially cylindrical walls closed at both ends, respectively, by top and bottom end pieces or heads integral with the sidewalls. The drum includes an integrally molded hollow arcuate chime located at the intersection of the top end piece or head and the cylindrical sidewall and extending circumferentially around the drum. A plurality of rolling hoops located between the top and bottom end pieces extend circumferentially around the drum and protrude sufficiently outward from the drum walls to permit sufficient engagement by the forks of a forklift to support a fully loaded drum thereon. The drum may be reinforced by a plurality of inwardly protruding vertical ribs which run continuously substantially from the top to the bottom of the drum. The top end piece or head includes at least one bunghole integrally formed therewith.

Abstract:

A three-piece tank assembly including a tank, a support base, and a support liner. The tank has a conical bottom with a discharge conduit at its apex; a longitudinally corrugated antisplash filling trough integrally formed with a sidewall of the tank; and an integrally formed cover including a bunghole for providing access to the filling trough. The discharge conduit may include a flow valve and check valve. The base includes a sidewall for nesting engagement with the tank sidewall, a flat ground-engaging surface and transverse longitudinal slots for receiving the forks of a forklift. The support liner has an upstanding wall and a conical top wall for supporting the conical bottom of the tank and nesting within the support base. Mating projections and grooves in the tank and support base prevent relative movement of the three elements of the tank assembly. Each of the three elements is rotationally molded of cross-linked, high density polyethylene.
