Portable Reservoir Frame

Abstract

A portable reservoir frame has a plurality of panels that form an enclosure when adjacent panels are connected. Each panel has a plurality apertures spaced at intervals along a first side edge and that extend through each panel between the exterior face and the interior face, and a plurality of male members spaced at intervals along a second side edge and protruding from the exterior face of the panel. Each male member is sized to extend through a corresponding aperture in the adjacent panel with the remote end protruding. There is one or more locking bar that has a plurality of receivers that, when installed, extends along the second side edge of the panel and simultaneously engages a plurality of male members. The receivers engage the peripheral engagement on the body of the male member and prevent the male member from being withdrawn from the aperture.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable reservoir frame, comprising:
 a plurality of panels that form an enclosure when adjacent panels are connected, each panel comprising:
 an exterior face, an interior face, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge; 
 a plurality apertures spaced at intervals along the first side edge and extending through each panel between the exterior face and the interior face; and 
 a plurality of male members spaced at intervals along the second side edge and protruding from the exterior face of the panel, each male member having body, a peripheral engagement on the body and a remote end, the body being sized to extend through a corresponding aperture in the adjacent panel with the remote end protruding; and 
   one or more locking bar, each locking plate that having a plurality of receivers that, when installed, extends along the second side edge of the panel and simultaneously engages a plurality of male members, wherein the receivers engage the peripheral engagement on the body of the male member and prevents the male member from being withdrawn from the aperture.   
     
     
         2 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , wherein the peripheral engagement comprises opposed grooves. 
     
     
         3 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 1 , wherein each of the panels has a radius of curvature, such that when the panels are connected together the enclosure is circular. 
     
     
         4 . The portable reservoir frame of  claim 2 , wherein the body of each of the male members is circular in cross-section and the opposed grooves on the body of the male member are connected to circumscribe the body.
