Ä particular as oil tank trained liquid container

The invention relates to a liquid container, in particular designed as an oil container, which consists of panels assembled according to the modular system in the form of a regular animal square with smooth outer and inner surfaces and with edge areas bent outwards like a flange on all four sides, the adjacent flange-like bent belt areas

from adjacent plates through, several continuous Connecting screws are connected to each other. Containers of this type have the advantage that at Compared to known containers, the assembly time is much shorter for them and moreover because of this shortening of the assembly time and because of the cheaper and simpler assembly equipment and also because of the fact that now there are no expensive skilled workers, such as welders or the like., but only semi-skilled workers during assembly work must be used, the assembly costs are much lower. The present invention has set itself the task of further simplifying and reducing containers of the aforementioned type to achieve production costs through systematisation and rationalization.

For the above purpose have according to the invention With the new liquid container, the plates each have the shape of a rectangle, deaden length is greater than its width or height, with all width dimensions and preferably all dimensions in fact a multiple of an S-round value. "m" are. Here, for example, the walls of the container can consist of panels that belong to a set of components, of panels with two or three widths that

Width of a container wall, or advantageously also the length of such a wall, the length of a container wall is expediently in each case a whole multiple of the basic width dimension of the plates of the component set Embossed type require less material - since a large number of previously required fillers or webs are omitted, and sealing material, adapters j, stiffening anchors, visual screws incl shorter working hours can be made, for example beautiful because few r screw connections are to be established. In addition, there is now the possibility of laying the panels lengthways in certain areas, which brings further savings in terms of sealing material and working time. The seal is

The liquid container according to the invention, which can be designed as an oil container, a swimming pool, etc., is composed of plates 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., which are square in shape and have smooth outer and inner surfaces. The plates are in this case assembled in the manner of a modular system and connected to each other, the arrangement being such that the container at any time increased even subsequently arbitrarily or can be reduced or modified "ground · The plates are releasably ver together tied by each one of the central part 6a, 7a flange-like and bent approximately at right angles band area 6b, 6c, 7b, 7c (Fig. 2)

have and these edge areas are assigned to one another are, as "is shown at 8. For this purpose, several continuous connecting screws are required per plate used. The plates can also be stranded or riveted using clamping devices etc. are connected to each other

According to the present invention, the plates from which the container is composed each have the shape of a rectangle, the length "L" of which is greater than the width ⁿ B ^M or height and is preferably a multiple of this width or height. The width dimensions here are a multiple of a basic value "m". The panels can be made from panels of a predetermined length by cutting to the desired length and then bending the flange-like edge area. However, as in the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing, the plates can also belong to a set of components, the plates with two or three widths, for example widths of 375, 750, 1125 mm, which are a multiple of a basic width dimension "m", and with contains different lengths which differ by a constant value, for example by ei ■ third of the (Jround dimension ^m / 3, for example 125mm.

Bs can also be seen that the walls of the Containers consist of rectangular-elongated plates, which on their long sides without the help of Hill-. Bars or bodies are screwed together. On the edges and corners of the container body appropriate connection points are the plates with the help of in the Hinnen or Joints between the panels can be filled with fillers or bodies connected to one another, the several of a center or intersection point in the shape of a cross or star have outgoing arms and whose cross-section corresponds approximately to the cross-section of the back or the third eye These filler webs or bodies can be used as corner pieces 11 with three arms 11a, 11b, 11c extending in a star shape from a center point with at right angles mutually extending planes contained longitudinal center axes or as edge pieces 12 with four starting in a cross shape from a center point Arms 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d may be designed, the longitudinal center axes of which are three in each case at right angles mutually extending planes are included.

Parts 23b, 23 * b at an angle of 90 ° run to the plate plane 23c This arrangement makes it possible to manufacture containers according to FIG. 4ö, those at the abutting edges of the individual panels (cf. the panel pairs 25a, 25b and 25c, 25d) there are no crimps or grooves that would become apparent when the container is completely emptied, e.g. in the food industry, could have a very unfavorable effect.

Another "simplification in the manufacture of the new container is that one in the!

Such a seal of the holes between the panels is particularly easy to produce and fulfills your needs Purpose in a completely impeccable manner. The seams can also be taped over from the inside. In the case of plates with a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 4c, as shown in FIG facing side of the plate 30, a plastic covering 31 can be provided, which is only up to or just about over the first fold 32 extends. It is now possible to weld such plates, like
