Claims
- 1. A container which comprises:
- a liner having longitudinal members compressively secured together by a first carrier film;
- at least one water-impermeable barrier film overlying the liner;
- a second carrier film overlying the barrier film to form a container; and
- at least some of the longitudinal members comprising specially extruded members, said specially extruded members comprising at least first and second members, one received within the other for the entire length thereof, the members joined together to function as an integral unit.
- 2. The container of claim 1 wherein the container is substantially rectangular in shape.
- 3. The container of claim 1 wherein the container is substantially circular in shape.
- 4. The container of claim 1 wherein the longitudinal members comprise tubular pipes and fittings.
- 5. The container of claim 1 which includes:
- means to introduce a liquid into the container;
- means to remove the liquid from the container;
- a perforated pipe received in the container;
- means to introduce fluids into the perforated pipe and into the container, said fluids comprising nutrients to aid in the aerobic or anaerobic digestion of waste; and
- a non-perforated pipe spaced apart from the bottom of the container and adapted to carry fluids from the bottom of the container.
- 6. The container of claim 1 wherein at least some of the members of the container are perforated pipe and the carrier defines an enclosed space and which includes:
- means to flow fluid into and out of the defined space whereby it may function as a solar panel.
- 7. The container of claim 1 which includes:
- a pair panels, the panels joined in spaced apart relationship from one another to form an assembly; and
- means to introduce fluid into the assembly.
- 8. The container of claim 1 which includes:
- a pair of walls formed in the shape of grid-like panels, the panels joined together in paired relationship with absorption blocks therebetween to define a heavy duty panel.
- 9. The container of claim 1 wherein the first member comprises an outer pipe and the second member is dimensionally similar pipe(s) telescoped and adhered therein.
- 10. The container of claim 9 wherein the outer pipe is circular in cross section.
- 11. The container of claim 1 wherein the second member is in a spoke-like configuration.
- 12. The container of claim 9 wherein the inner member is in the form of an I-beam having convex, flanged surfaces which mate with the inner concave surface of the pipe.
- 13. The container of claim 9 wherein the pipe is substantially rectangular in shape.
- 14. The container of claim 1 wherein the outer member has on its outer surface strengthening members.
- 15. The container of claim 14 wherein said strengthening members are longitudinal extending ribs.
- 16. The container of claim 14 wherein said strengthening members comprise a helical rib.
- 17. The container of claim 9 wherein the second member comprises a plurality of members received in random orientation within the first member.
