Abstract

813,623. Tanks. WHESSOE Ltd. April 11, 1957 [Jan. 11, 1956],No. 971/56. Class 69 (1). In a vessel having an internal structure in the form of a substantially circular and horizontal load supporting platform 8 disposed within and spaced from the shell 1 of the vessel, the platform is supported from the lower part of the shell by a plurality of vertical columns 9 distributed around the periphery of the platform, each column having a cross-section whose radial dimension is small compared with its tangential dimension, so that horizontal expansion and contraction of the platform relative to the shell 1 of the vessel is permitted by simultaneous outward or inward bending of all the columns, whilst the platform is held against horizontal movement as a whole by the high resistance of each column to bending in a tangential direction. The vessel is supported on brackets 5 secured to the shell of the vessel and bearing on the upper ends of rocking columns 6. Internal brackets 7 are provided above the brackets 5 and serve to support the internal structure. Each of the columns 9 is supported on one of the brackets 7. As shown in Fig. 1, the platform 8 is rigidly supported on the column 9. In a modification shown in Fig. 3 the column 9 is provided with a cap plate 11a having a cylindrically curved surface. The platform 8 is provided with a recessed bearing plate 13 which rests on the cap plate 11a and makes a rolling contact therewith along a line directed tangentially of the vessel. Specifications 813,621, 813,622 and 813,624 are referred to.
