Abstract

801,328. Storing liquified gases. BRITISH OXYGEN CO., Ltd. June 26, 1957 [July 3, 1956], No. 20582/56. Class 8(2). A heat insulated liquified gas container 1 has heat insulated liquid withdrawal and vapour venting ducts 4, 9 located substantially within the liquid content space of the container. The withdrawal duct 4 extends from its lower open end through the diagonally opposite corner of the container, whereas the venting duct 9 extends from its upper open end through the opposite comer.
