Storage bin

A storage bin such as a silo or the like comprising a plurality of sections adapted to be superimposed one on the other, said sections increasing stepwise in external dimension, in axial succession from bottom to top of said bin, and being telescopingly nested together between a collapsed and an extended position, said sections being provided with an outwardly directed flange adjacent their upper edge and an inwardly directed flange adjacent their lower edge, said flanges having overlapping surfaces whereby the outwardly directed flange of a lower section engages over the inwardly directed flange of the next contiguous upper section, and means for removably securing said sections together comprising at least one pivotable latch mounted on the outer surface of the respective lower component spaced from the outwardly extending flange, said latch being adapted to engage the inwardly directed flange of the next adjacent section to brace said flanges together, said latch being secured to the respective section by screw means adapted to removably seat within a bolt fixedly secured to the inner surface of said section, in axial alignment with a bore formed in the wall of said section.
