Container System - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042846 titled 'Container System

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a container system that includes two container bodies and a connector for holding them together. The connector passes through aligned passageways in the container bodies and engages with a thread to clamp them together. The sub-assembly is affixed to a supporting structure using a fastener with a threaded shaft passing through the connector. The clamp load is borne by the connector to prevent damage to the container bodies when the fastener is tightened. This container system is designed for providing twin tanks for fuel and a fuel additive on vehicles or agricultural machines.

  • The container system includes two container bodies and a connector for holding them together.
  • The container bodies have aligned external connector passageways for assembly.
  • The connector passes through the passageway of the first container body and engages with a thread in the passageway of the second container body.
  • A connector head engages the first container body to clamp the container bodies together.
  • The sub-assembly is affixed to a supporting structure using a fastener with a threaded shaft passing through the connector.
  • The clamp load is borne by the connector to prevent damage to the container bodies when the fastener is tightened.
  • This container system is particularly suited for providing twin tanks for fuel and a fuel additive on vehicles or agricultural machines.

Potential Applications

  • Fuel storage and delivery systems for vehicles and agricultural machines.
  • Container systems for holding and transporting fuel and fuel additives.

Problems Solved

  • Prevents damage to container bodies when fasteners are tightened.
  • Provides a secure and reliable connection between container bodies.
  • Allows for the assembly and disassembly of container sub-assemblies.

Benefits

  • Secure and reliable connection between container bodies.
  • Prevents damage to container bodies during assembly and disassembly.
  • Versatile system that can be used for various applications in fuel storage and delivery.


Original Abstract Submitted

a container system includes first and second container bodies and a connector for holding the container bodies together as a container sub-assembly. the container bodies each define external connector passageways, which are aligned co-axially for assembly. the connector passes through the passageway of the first container body and engages with a thread in the passageway of a second container body. a connector head engages the first container body to clamp the container bodies together. the sub-assembly is affixed to a supporting structure by a fastener having a threaded shaft passing through the connector to clamp the connector to the mounting formation. the clamp load is borne by the connector to prevent the container bodies being damaged when the fastener is tightened. the container system is particularly suited for providing twin tanks for fuel and a fuel additive on a vehicle or agricultural machine.
