Tank Container

Abstract

The present invention relates to a tank container ( 1 ) with an essentially cylindrical tank ( 2 ), the end bottoms ( 11 ) of which are each connected via a saddle structure ( 12, 14, 22 ) with a bottom frame ( 3 ). The connection is done via a front flange ( 12 ) attached on an end of the tank ( 11 ), wherein a saddle segment ( 14 ) running transverse to the tank axis ( 24 ) is provided with a circumferential contour ( 20 ) running at least in sections and connected with it, which is connected with the bottom frame.

1 . Tank container with an essentially cylindrical tank, the end bottoms of which are each connected via a saddle structure with a bottom frame, which comprises a front flange attached on an end of the tank, wherein a saddle segment running transverse to the tank axis is provided with a circumferential contour running at least in sections and connected with it, which is connected with the bottom frame. 
     
     
         2 . Tank container according to  claim 1 , in which the saddle segment is connected via a coupling surface with a surface running parallel thereto of a transverse spar of the bottom frame. 
     
     
         3 . Tank container according to  claim 1 , in which a profile ring is provided, which overlaps the front flange with an axial flange running parallel to the tank axis, and is connected with it, and a radial flange running transverse to the tank axis and directed away from it, which overlaps a coupling surface of the saddle segment and is connected with it. 
     
     
         4 . Tank container according to  claim 3 , in which the profile ring is connected laterally via the circumferential contour of the saddle segment projecting out with the front flange. 
     
     
         5 . Tank container according to  claim 1 , in which the saddle segment via rib elements running in the direction of the tank axis, is connected with the bottom frame. 
     
     
         6 . Tank container according to  claim 1 , in which the bottom frame has longitudinal spars running in the direction of the tank axis, and transverse elements, especially stacking channels configured in channel fashion, placed transverse to them. 
     
     
         7 . Tank container according to  claim 6 , in which the transverse elements or the stacking channels are coupled to each other in the sole area of the tank via a coupling pan and via a support element placed in the coupling pan with the tank. 
     
     
         8 . Tank container according to  claim 7 , in which the support element via a detachable holding and covering element placed on the coupling pan is situated in the coupling pan so as to be removable. 
     
     
         9 . Tank container according to  claim 7 , in which the support element is formed from an elastic or elastoplastic material, especially a plastic foam material.
