An improved, self-positioning, synthetic resin, multiple-sheet fill structure for cooling towers is provided which preferably includes upright, thin fill sheets having elongated, outwardly extending, hollow, cooperable indexing units thereon; the respective indexing units are strategically located and arranged such that opposed units on adjacent sheets are transversely disposed relative to one another and telescopically interengage with two point contact. This construction minimizes sheet warpage while increasing the load and deflection resistance of the fill structure. Preferably, the indexing units are of outwardly tapered configuration and present arcuate, opposed end segments separated by recess-defining walls; inwardly extending bottom walls connected to the recess-defining walls serve as spaced abutment surfaces extending into the hollow regions defined by the units for engaging the associated units on adjacent fill sheets. The indexing units are advantageously arranged in upright columns and horizontal rows on the sheets in such manner that the longitudinal axis of each respective unit is transverse to the longitudinal axes of the next adjacent units in the column and row in which the respective unit belongs. |
