Transport/storage container with wooden pallet feet

Abstract

A transport and storage container for flowable materials has an annular and erect outer wall in the form of a gridwork of bars having a lower edge and provided at the edge with an annular stiffening bar and a pallet-like floor downwardly closing the wall, forming therewith an outer vessel, and provided with a plurality of wooden foot beams each having a ground-engaging lower surface, an upper surface, and a pair of ends. Respective steel plates on the upper surfaces of the foot beams each have bent-down ends overlying the respective beam ends. Fasteners such as screws or nails are engaged through the steel-plate ends into the respective beam ends. Integral connections are provided between each of the plates and the annular stiffening bar at the lower edge of the wall. An inner vessel composed of flexible plastic material is enclosed by the outer wall and supported on the floor.
