The invention relates to a device for storing a liquid in a sealed flexible housing which is easy to install on the ground, the maximum capacity of which is variable, and the center of gravity of the liquid column of which can be safely raised above the ground at different heights. The device consists of a rigid supporting frame capable of being dismantled and comprising a single vertically stable strong technical pylon (1) that bears most of the weight of the liquid contained in the sealed cylindrical flexible housing by means of two ferrules horizontally secured to the latter and the heights of which are adjustable. The lower ferrule serves as a base for supporting the liquid column contained in the flexible housing and reduces the volume thereof when it is adjusted to a high position on the pylon (1). The upper ferrule is fixed and makes it possible to maintain the cylindrical shape of the flexible housing in the higher portion thereof which receives two specific half-ferrules on the inner circumference thereof. Four vertical stiffeners with small cross-sections connect the two ferrules together. The pylon (1) and stiffener assembly is connected to a base (6) comprising four legs (8), the heights of which are adjustable and which are offset relative to the horizontal cross-section of the flexible housing.
L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de contenir un liquide dans une
enveloppe souple
étanche dont l'installation au sol est facile, dont la capacité maximale est
variable et dont le centre de gravité de la
colonne de liquide peut être élevé au dessus du sol à différentes hauteurs en
toute sécurité.
Il est constitué d'une armature rigide porteuse démontable comportant un mât
(1) technique
unique résistant stable verticalement, reprenant l'essentiel du poids du
liquide contenu dans l'enveloppe souple (11)
étanche cylindrique à l'aide de deux viroles fixées horizontalement sur ce
dernier et réglables en hauteur.
La virole inférieure sert de base de soutien à la colonne de liquide contenue
dans l'enveloppe
souple et en diminue son volume lorsqu'elle est réglée en position haute sur
le mât(1). La virole supérieure reste fixe
et permet de maintenir la forme cylindrique de l'enveloppe souple dans sa
partie haute, qui reçoit sur sa
circonférence intérieure deux demi-viroles spécifiques.
Quatre raidisseurs verticaux de faible section lient les deux viroles entre
elles.
L'ensemble mât (1) et raidisseurs sont liés à un piétement (6) comportant
quatre pieds réglables
(8) en hauteur déportés par rapport à la section horizontale de l'enveloppe
souple.
