Abstract
A container and dispenser for fluids, especially hydraulic and engine oil fluids for aircraft. The container, which is preferably made of a recyclable polymer such as high density polyethylene, is rectangularly parallepipedal, with a crowned top to minimize contamination by water or particulate matter. A pump is mounted on the top of the container, and various filters, check valves, and quick disconnect couplings are provided to further minimize contamination. In use, the container is mounted on a 2-wheeled cart that is especially designed to accommodate it.
Claims10
A polymeric tank for use as a container and dispenser of fluids, said tank being of generally rectangular parallelepipedal shape, having a front, a back, a bottom, two sides, and a crowned top to minimize the collection of water, oil and grit, a pump having an inlet side and an outlet side mounted at the front portion of the top, a supply line extending from the inlet side of the pump downward into the tank to permit the delivery of the fluid in the tank to a fluid-dispensing line connected to the outlet side of the pump, a quick disconnect fitting that opens into the tank so as to provide a means for filling the tank, a venting fitting that opens into the tank to provide for the entrance of air as fluid is pumped out of the tank, an air supply line connected to said venting fitting, and a check valve to block the entrance of fluid into said air supply line.
