ABSTRACT:
A tank for liquidous material is disclosed having a single aperture for accessing an interior volume. A collar formed as a truncated cone circumscribes the aperture to provide sealing with a cap having a mating conical band. A band surface and a collar surface form the only contact between the cap and the collar. A drain fitting may be secured to the collar upon removal of the cap, after which the tank is upended for draining through the drain fitting. A wash fitting attached to the drain fitting sprays the interior of the tank for cleaning. No recesses (grooves) or `O` ring seals, and no protruding, resilient, normal, face seals are used which might trap debris and inhibit complete cleaning. The tapered collar and band create contact forces for sealing that are much greater than the load securing the cap to the collar. The tank, collar and cap may be rotomolded of a single material in a single mold, the cap being severed and trimmed after molding. The tank is suitable for a holding tank of a portable toilet, and supports a removable seat. The tank is resistant to puncture for a "kick bucket" or "sharps" container for hospitals, and may be easily cleaned or sterilized.
