OIL PRODUCT TANK Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B65D88/12 

FIELD: transport, package.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to reservoirs for storage and transportation of fluids and can be used on railway, automotive and water transport. Proposed tank comprises cylindrical vessel with bottoms. Said vessel is truncated by concave truncation plate formed by a portion of cylinder surface with radius some 1.1 to 3.6 times larger than that of cylindrical vessel. Axis of bent truncation plane is parallel to vessel lengthwise axis. Reinforcing element from sheet material is rigidly attached to cylindrical vessel truncation edges and repeats the shape of truncation plane line. Note here that there are at least one stiffness rib arranged inside the vessel and at least two reinforcing posts fitted perpendicular to vessel axis and rigidly secured to said reinforcing element. Distance between vessel lengthwise axis and truncation plane axis is 1.1 to 3.6 times larger than vessel diametre. Inner stiffness rib repeats the bottom shape. Reinforcing post represents rectangular or trapezoidal section with its base repeating the shape of reinforcing element.

EFFECT: higher reliability, simple attachment on vehicle chassis.
