ABSTRACT:
A freight container includes a tank 10 mounted in an inclined manner between a pair of end frames 12 by means of connecting structures 11 each of which contains an end ring 20 and further connecting elements 21; 30. The end rings 20 are eccentrically secured to spherically curved end bottom portions 25 of the tank 10 in such a manner that at one tank end the respective ring is offset upwardly and at the other end offset downwardly. The further connecting elements 21; 30 connect the end ring 20 to the respective end frame 12. Due to the combination of the spherically curved bottom end portions 25 of the tank 10 with the circular end rings 20, the freight container may be readily assembled with any desired tank inclination.
