TANK CONSTRUCTION.
APPLICATION man EEB. 9. 1920.

ANDREW KRAMER, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
TANK CONSTRUCTION".
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 25, than.
Application filed February 9, 1920. Serial No. 357,238.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANDREW A. KRAMER, a citizen of the United "States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tank C011 struction; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the, letters and figures of reference marked thereon,
which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to tank construction for Vehicles or rolling stock and one of the objects thereof is to provide a complete bolster and fastening means whereby the bolster may-be efliciently andexpeditiously secured to the tank, the bolster being so con structed that a seat is formed for the tank in the form of a band, the band being integral with the bolster proper and the bolster being adjustable with relation to the frame or support to which it is to be attached.
Means isalso provided whereby acan rack In the drawings, FigureI' is a perspective View of a bolster constructed in accordance with my invention and part of'a tank secured thereto, and
mav'be fastened to the bolster, if desired.
Fig. II is a detail perspective view of a.
bolster and band. Referring now to the drawings by numerals of reference:
1 designates a web or sheet having a base flange 2, near the respective ends of which is a plurality of holes or openings 3 and 4, into any one of which may be introduced a fastening device to secure the device to a wagon or vehicle, the adjustment being desirable on account of the different widths of the vehicles.
At the respective ends of the sheet or web. are right angularly disposed can rack bracket supporting flanges 5 and 6 having a plurality of holes or openings 7 and 8, through which fastening devices such as indicated at 9 may pass to secure the can rack brackets thereto, there being but one bracket shown on the left hand side of Fig. I, It is obvious that double brackets may be securedon the other side, the bracket being for the purpose of supporting the floor board 11 of the can rack in a well understood manner.
The upper edge of the web'or sheet 1 is curved, as at 12, to conform to the bottom portion 13 of the band or ring 14:, which is adapted to encircle the tank or receptacle 15, as clearly seen in Fig. I. The band or ring 145 may be welded to the edge 12o'f the web or sheet 1 or secured in any'other well Fig. II, the band may be opened to receive the tank and then closed and fastened by the fastening device 18. The band not only serves as a fastening means for securing the tank tothebolster but it also serves as an efiicient shock absorbing means, whereby the shocks communicated to the vehicle in its passage over unequal surfaces will be absorbed by the bolster'and band and, therefore, not communicated to any appreciable extent to the tank so as to cause distortion thereof, which would-be the case where the tank took the major portion of the shock.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:
1. A bolster having a-vertica]. web, and a tank securing band carriedby and secured to said bolster.
2. A bolster having a curved upper'edge, and a tank-engaging band integral with and extending above the bolster.
3. A bolster having flanged ends, a base flange for the bolster, and a tank-engaging band rigid with the bolster.
4. A bolster having a web provided with a curved upper edge, and a tank-engaging band welded to the curved upper edge of the ANDREW A. KRAMER.
