  • Patent number: 10358286
    Abstract: An overfill indicator for a flexible collapsible liquid storage tank made of a liquid impervious fabric and having a floor and a top wall with a vent therein, the overfill indicator comprising a connector portion adapted to removably connecting to the vent of the tank, an indicator movably mounted to the connector portion, the indicator being moveable between a resting position and a visually noticeable alert position, a base portion located on the inside of the tank and on the floor thereof and aligned with the vent, and a linkage connecting the base to the indicator such that the indicator is moved from the resting position to the alert position as the top wall of the tank reaches a threshold distance from the floor as the tank is filled with liquid, wherein said threshold distance coincides with the tank having reached a desired liquid capacity.

  • Patent number: 10029848
    Abstract: Flexible tanks for transporting liquids comprising a flexible bladder to contain liquid, several transverse surge dampening baffles inside the bladder, each baffle comprising several flexible panels, each having a base connected to the inside of the bladder and aligned along a plane transverse to the bladder and an unsupported terminal end opposite the base and adapted to converge with the unsupported portions of adjacent panels in a manner that defines a barrier to fluid flow across the transverse baffle when the bladder is filled; and a connector for interconnecting the terminal ends of the panels. There may be provided a flexible outer bladder of an abrasion resistant material that is adapted to removably receive the inner bladder. There may be provided longitudinal baffles situated between adjacent transverse baffles that define longitudinal compartments with restricted fluid flow there between for dampening lateral fluid surges.

  • Publication number: 20090001085
    Abstract: An internal baffle apparatus for use within tanks, in particular flexible tanks, for liquids for dampening surges of liquid, and tanks having such baffle apparatus, wherein the baffle apparatus comprising a plurality of panel members connected along a connection line that defines an axis wherein said panel members extend radially from the axis such that each panel member is oriented in a radial plane, and each panel member having a bottom edge, a top edge portion and a remote edge opposite the axis, wherein the bottom edge of each panel includes first connector means operable for connecting the bottom edge at a plurality of connection points to the bottom wall of the tank, and the top edge portion includes second connector means located remote from the axis that are operable to connect the top edge portion to an upper part of the tank.
