Composite tank assembly

摘要

A plastic tank for storage and transport of liquids having a reinforcing sleeve for the discharge spout of the tank. The reinforcing sleeve comprises two identical generally C-shaped plate members which each have an overall circumferential length greater than one-half the circumference of the discharge spout to enable each plate member to be snap fit around the discharge spout and retained in place thereon. Each plate member has a V-shaped projection extending circumferentially from one end, and a corresponding recess at the other end to enable the plate members to interlock with one another and to axially self align on the discharge spout with the tip of the V-projection seating into the groove in the V-shaped recess.
