TANK AND LIKE RECEPTACLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 24, 1919.
Application filed March 19, 1917. Serial N 0. 155,888.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES HULsn HUM- IHRYES, subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 117 Victoria street, London, S. England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Tanks and like Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention comprises improvements in and relating to tanks and like receptacles, and has particularly for its object the construction of tanks of pressed plates which are alike and interchangeable so as to be easily assembled for the erection of the tanks or taken apart and nested together for packing or bundling for shipment or transit. A further object is to provide for the easy and cheap production of the tank or receptacle.
In accordance with my invention I press the plates forming the tank with outwardly directed flanges all the way around, which flanges are inclined outwardly at such. an.
angle that when two plates are placed together at right angles the side flanges lie against one another, or parallel to one another, similar to a miter, and the joint may be readily packed and then bolted or otherwise secured together.
The holes for the bolts or the like may be pressed punched or drilled in the flanges and these holes facilitate the tying together or bundling of the plates when nested for transit as wires may be threaded through some of the holes and secured. It is preferable to press the plates in addition to the suurrounding flanges with a corrugation, rib, channel, or impression in the body of the plate in any suitable position or pattern to impart stiffness to it, but I do not claim a mere flanged plate broadly apart from the arrangement of the flange so that they may be assembled in the manner indicated and all the plates may be packed one within the other for transit.
On the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tank with an open top built up in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of a closed top tank suitable for petrol or oil or for any other purpose.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view showing the flanges of two plates and the method of connection.
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 3 but showing a slight modification of the flange to accommodate packing.
F 1g. 5 is a sectional view sh'owing how a number of the plates may be bundled together for transport purposes.
As clearly shown at Figs. 1 and 2 I form a number of plates at with surrounding flanges I) set at such an angle that when two plates are brought at right angles to each other with their edges in juxtaposition the flanges lie parallelwith one another and may be packed and bolted together to make a tight joint. That is to say all the plates are alike and interchangeable and their flanges are approximately at an angle of 135 with the plane of their outer surfaces and when two flanges are assembled face to face the plane surfaces of the plates are at right angles. The tanks may be very rapidly built up from the standard plates a or dismantled for transport, and when dismantled the plates may be packed or nested together,
one inside the other, as shown at Fig. 5.
The holes 0 in the flanges to receive the boltsd or the like facilitate the tying and securing together of the plates when packed or nested together as at Fig. 5 as wires 0 may be thereaded through some of the holes and secured by twisting Or other means.
A convenient method of forming a joint between two plates 41 the angle flanges Z) of which are brought together, is to insert a packing strip 7 Fig. 3, between the meeting flanges .7) say of millboard, felt, rubber, or.
any other suitable material, and when the flanges b are tightened up by the bolts d or the like a secure'joint is made. If desired lead wool or other material may be forced into the corners or all along the angle of the joint on the inside to calk the same.
If desired we may press the plates with channels or grooves g in the faces of the flanges b and a cord or rod h of rubber or other packing, may readily be inserted between two facing grooves in meeting flanges as at Fig. 4, and when the nuts and bolts are tightened up the packing will be compressed and make a secure joint.
The plates may be pressed with panels j ribs, corrugations or other impressions to give additional stiffness to the body of the late.
p While the full advantages of easy and quick erection of the tanks and the like are best realized when the plates are all of uniform size and shape, the arrangement of the flanges may be used on oblong plates if desired, but in that case all the plates Will not be uniform in shape and size.
It will be understood that the inclined surounding flange may if desired be formed on each plate with an incision and slit at the corner to facilitate the bending up of the flange.
If desired by separating one plate from the others in a set nested for transit and employing a frame of wood or other material, or loose packing strips between this plate and the remainder an inclosed space is formed in which packing bolts, tools, and the like may be packed thus avoiding the use of packing cases,
I claim 1. Improved tanks and like receptacles built up of a number of plates, uniform in size, one plate for each side, top and bottom of the tank, each of said uniform plates having a uniform continuous flange surrounding the plate, the whole of said continuous surrounding flange being set at an obtuse angle to said plate, said plates being assembled by having the flanges of adjacent plates placed parallel to each other and secured together.
2. Improved tanks and like receptacles built up of a number of plates, uniform in size, one plate for each wall of each tank, each of said similar plates having a unitary continuous surrounding flange at its margins, the whole of said flange being set at an obtuse angle to said plates; said plates being adapted for assembling by having the flanges of adjacent edges placed parallel to each other and secured and said plates being adapted for nesting one Within and against the other for transit purposes.
3. Improved tanks and like receptacles built up of a number of plates, each Wall of a tank comprising a single plate and each of said plates being uniform in size and shape and having a uniform continuous surrounding flange at its margins, the whole of said flange being set at an angle of 185 to the outer plane of the plate.
4. Improved tanks and like receptacles built up of a number of uniform plates, one plate for each wall of each tank, each of said similar plates having a unitary continuous surrounding flange at its margins set at an obtuse angle to said plates; said unitary continuous surrounding flange having a shallot groove pressed in from its outer surface to receive a packing member.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
