Portable Reservoir Frame

Abstract

A portable reservoir frame composed of interlocking panels secured by a series of flanges having holes and pegs. An inner liner to hold liquid inside the reservoir frame is presented.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable reservoir frame comprising two or more interlocking panels for deployment on a ground surface, each of said panels comprising:
 a plate having an outer surface, an inner surface, a top edge, a bottom edge for resting on the ground surface, a first edge and an opposing second edge, said first and said second edges being disposed in-between said top edge and said bottom edge;   a first flange having an inner face, an outer face, and at least one hole having a chosen diameter and perforating said first flange, said first flange attached to said plate and extending beyond the first edge;   a second flange having an inner face and an outer face, said second flange attached to said plate and extending beyond the opposing second edge; and   at least one peg attached to said second flange and extending in a direction perpendicular to the outer face thereof, each of said at least one peg adapted for insertion into one of said at least one holes.   
     
     
         2 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , wherein each of said at least one peg has a hole there in. 
     
     
         3 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 2 , further comprising at least one pin adapted for insertion into the hole in said at least one peg. 
     
     
         4 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , wherein said plates have convex curvature of the outer surface and concave curvature of the inner surface. 
     
     
         5 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 4 , wherein one of said interlocking panels connects to another of said interlocking panels, wherein at least one of said at least one peg of one panel is inserted into at least one of said at least one hole of said other plate. 
     
     
         6 . The portable reservoir of  claim 5 , wherein at least 2 interlocking panels are connected to form a generally circular reservoir. 
     
     
         7 . The portable reservoir of  claim 5 , wherein said at least one pin is inserted to lock the interlocking panels together. 
     
     
         8 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 5 , further comprising a liner adapted for covering the inside of the generally circular reservoir frame. 
     
     
         9 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one crossbar attached to said outer surface of the plate. 
     
     
         10 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one horizontal support beam attached to the plate and disposed between the first and second edge and said support beam disposed generally parallel to the top edge and bottom edge of the plate. 
     
     
         11 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 10 , further comprising at least one crossbar attached to said at least one support beam of the plate. 
     
     
         12 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , wherein the first flange is integrally formed with said plate. 
     
     
         13 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , wherein the second flange is integrally formed with said plate. 
     
     
         14 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one peg is integrally formed with said second flange.
