Definitions
- DE 43 05 340 describes a combined unit of plastic bottles which has several bottles each detachably joined to closable outlet and tongue-and-groove connections moulded into the sides.
- the present invention is embodied in a storage drum having multiple storage compartments which allow at least two dissimilar materials (e.g. liquids, particulate solid materials, slurries or the like) to be stored separately of one another in respective ones of the compartments but be readily available for collective use (e.g., as a mixture of such materials).

Abstract
Description
Claims (14)
- A multi-compartment storage drum comprising: a pair of separably united hemi-cylindrical drum segments (12, 14); each said drum segment including upper and lower semicircular end panels (12a, 12b and 14a, 14b) which are joined to, and spaced apart by, a side wall having a hemi-cylindrical exterior side wall section (12c, 14c) and a planar interior side wall section (12d, 14d), wherein said end panels and said interior and exterior side wall sections of each said drum segment collectively establish a compartment to hold a volume of pourable material, and wherein said interior side wall sections (12d, 14d) of said drum segments are disposed closely adjacent to one another when said drum segments are united so that said drum has a generally cylindrical shape by virtue of said hemi-cylindrical exterior side wall sections (12c, 14c), said closely adjacent interior side wall sections establishing a longitudinally diametrical parting plane (P) of said storage drum, and wherein said storage drum further comprises circumferentially paired roll stops (12g, 12h and 14g, 14h) outwardly extending from said exterior side wall sections (14c, 12c) of said drum sections and asymmetrically straddling said longitudinally diametrical parting plane (P); and bung holes (12i, 14i) formed in each of said end panels (12a, 14a) and disposed closely adjacent said parting plane such that said bung holes are oriented substantially vertically with respect to one another when said drum is resting on one set of said paired roll stops and such that said vertical orientation of said bung holes may be reversed by rolling said storage drum along said side wall sections until said drum rests upon another set of paired roll stops (12h, 14h).
- A storage drum as in claim 1, further comprising a groove (14e) formed in the planar interior side wall section (14d) of one drum segment, and a tongue (12e) outwardly protruding from the planar interior side wall section (12d) of the other drum segment, said tongue and groove being conformably shaped so as to be interlockable and thereby separably unite said drum segments one the other.
- A storage drum as in claim. 2, wherein said tongue (12e) and groove (14e) are oriented longitudinally.
- A storage drum as in claim 3, wherein at least one terminal end of said tongue (12e) and groove (14e) terminates short of an adjacent end panel.
- A storage drum as in claim 3, wherein said tongue (12e) includes an arcuate head portion (12e') and a neck portion (12e'') of reduced cross-sectional dimension joining said head portion to said planar interior side wall section of the other drum segment.
- A storage drum as in claim 5, wherein said groove (14e) includes an arcuate receiving channel (14e') conforming to said head portion of said tongue (12e) and an entranceway (14e'') corresponding substantially to said reduced cross-sectional dimension of said neck portion (12e'').
- A storage drum as in claim 6, comprising upper and lower sets of said circumferentially paired roll stops.
- A storage drum as in claim 7, wherein each of said roll stops (12g, 12h and 14g, 14h) defines a convex arcuate surface.
- A storage drum as in claim l, wherein said exterior side wall sections (12c, 14c) include handles (12c', 14c').
- A storage drum as in claim 9, wherein said handles (12c', 14c') are recessed.
- A storage drum as in claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, wherein said exterior side wall sections (12c, 14c) include circumferential band-receiving channels (12f, 14f), and restraining bands (16) disposed in said band-receiving channels to prevent relative separation of said drum segments.
- A drum as in claim l, wherein lower end panels (12b, 14b) include arcuate reinforcing structures (12b', 14b').
- A drum as in claim 12, wherein said reinforcing structures are recessed relative to said lower end panels (12b, 14b).
- A drum as in claim 1, further comprising caps (12j, 14j) covering said bung holes (12i, 14i).
