Patent

CA 2494000

A remotely activated tank hatch system is provided. The hatch system may include a frame that may comprise an upper frame and a lower frame that are joined by a hinge assembly. The lower frame is coupled to a collar of an opening of a tank and the hatch is coupled to the upper frame. The hinge assembly allows the upper frame to pivot the hatch between an open and closed position relative to the opening, The frame may also include at least one catch that is intended to receive an edge of the hatch, when the hatch is closed. A plurality of spring members on the upper frame urge the hatch upward and away from the tank opening. This provides a space between the opening of the tank and the hatch so that the hatch may be swung away from the opening. A rubber bladder may be positioned between the upper frame and the hatch. Inflating the bladder overcomes the spring pressure and urges the hatch into tight contact with the port of the tank, The hatch system also includes a remote control means for inflating the bladder and for opening and closing the hatch.
