Abstract
According to the present invention there is provided a storage tank assembly comprising: (i) a storage tank; (ii) support means comprising at least one load bearing reinforcement means extending around and attached to at least a portion of the outer circumference of the storage tank, the support means further incorporating at least one mounting leg to enable the support means to be connected to a canopy.
Claims24
A storage tank assembly comprising:
- (i) a storage tank;
- (ii) a support comprising at least one load bearing structural support extending continuously around at least one side of the storage tank thereby transmitting vertical loads received by the support through the support and not transmitting said vertical loads directly to the storage tank, said structural support connected with at least a portion of the outer circumference of the storage tank;
- (iii) at least one mounting leg extending vertically above the structural support and connected thereto for interconnecting the support to a canopy.
A storage tank assembly comprising:
- a storage tank;
- a support comprising at least one load bearing structural support extending continuously around at least one side of the storage tank thereby transmitting vertical loads received by the support through the support and not transmitting said vertical loads directly to the storage tank, said structural support connected to at least a portion of the outer circumference of the storage tank;
- at least one mounting leg extending vertically above the structural support and connected thereto;
- and
- a goal post-type support connected to said at least one mounting leg and extending above said mounting leg, said goal post-type support including a canopy mounting bracket attached thereto.

A storage tank assembly comprising:
- a cylindrical shaped storage tank;
- a first load bearing structural support extending continuously around one side of the storage tank;
- a second load bearing structural support extending continuously around an opposite side of the storage tank;
- a first mounting leg extending vertically above the first structural support and connected thereto;
- a second mounting leg extending vertically above the second structural support and connected thereto;
- a base frame attached to a lower portion of said storage tank and interconnecting said first and second structural supports;
- and
- wherein said first and second mounting legs are offset from a center line of the storage tank so that vertical loads received by the supports transmit loads through the respective supports and not directly to the storage tank.
