Description

Bauer, Heinz Dieter, Eichendorffstr. 3, 4286 Südlohn "Residual tank for collecting liquids"

The innovation relates to a residue tank for collecting liquids from emptyable barrels.

The ability to empty liquid containers is a major problem worldwide, as fillings have a negative impact on the environment. If, for example, a barrel can be completely emptied, this means that less waste is produced.

residues that have to be disposed of during cleaning, conditioning and loading of drums, while at the same time more fuel is supplied to the user of the drum.

To solve this problem, emptyable barrels have been developed which are emptied by turning the barrel upside down and by providing a special drain in the top of the barrel. In addition, the top is designed in such a way that there is a slope from the barrel edge and from the bottom.

, _j 20 the middle into a surrounding drainage channel is created

and a corresponding bung is connected to this drainage channel.

In order to be able to empty such emptyable barrels effectively, a special residue tank seems sensible and the innovation is based on the task of creating a residue tank with which the emptying of the barrels is possible without any problems, whereby the tank must be handled accordingly. 30

This task underlying the innovation is

by a residue tank, which is formed from a topsoil, a bottomsoil and edge walls, whereby the topsoil has one or more inlets and the residue tank is further equipped with a 5 drain tap ^.

Durci. appropriate design of this residual tank

is placing the barrel upside down on the

Residual tank possible.

' Advantageous design of the new

'£■ ' Device are explained in the subclaims.

For example, the top layer is equipped with a screw cap so that the remaining quantity can be kept under lock and key, which is very important, for example, for corrosive, odorous and flammable media.

The stored residues can be emptied via the drain tap.

\ In the preferred embodiment, the

The top is beaded diagonally so that a central inlet is created, with support strips ensuring that the required distance from the bottom of the barrel to the top or the closure located there is guaranteed.

When decanting and further handling the residual tank, attached handles are advantageous.

, Preferably, the residue tank can be connected to a sii-h

A well-known collecting tray must be placed so that after emptying the barrel in the area of the collecting tray a

- 3 quick emptying of residues is possible.

An example of the innovation is explained below using the drawing.

The drawing shows a waste tank 1, which is made up of an upper floor 3, a lower floor 2 and edge walls 4. In the front and side areas, the edge walls 4 are raised above the upper floor, so that they also serve to secure the barrel placed on top.

Furthermore, 2 support feet 6, 7 and 8 are provided on the underbody, which enable the residual tank 1 to be placed on the ground or another floor surface without any problems, whereby these support feet 6, 7 and 8 (the fourth support foot is not visible in the drawing) have such a height that a drain tap 5 is not damaged despite being placed on the ground.

In the embodiment shown, the top is beaded diagonally so that a central inlet 9 is created, which can be closed with a closure 10. Above the top 3 and at least over a large part of its length at a distance from the top 3, support strips 14 and 15 are provided, on which the barrel can be placed upside down, so that the required distance between the bottom edge of the barrel and the closure 10 or inlet 9 or top 3 is guaranteed.

The residue tank 1 can be attached to a collecting tray 11 via hook bars 16, which is known per se

and from which the barrels can easily be pulled onto the residue tank.
