To all whom it may concewi: j i
it known that I ZneuLeNVVmtr, a citizen of the United States, residing at City, in the county of Jackson and State of hllissouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grain Storage Binsyaiul'l do declare the following to be a full, clean. and exact description of-the in.- ventiou, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings,and to the letters and figuresof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This inventionrelates to grain bins and one of the objects thereof is to construct a compartmental storage bin of simple con struction but which will efliciently perform the service for which it is intended.
In carrying out my invention I prefer to construct a bin in the form of a vertical see tional hollow column, subdivided interiorly by curved walls and a connectlng partltion in such manner that all of the divisions will be of substantially equal capacity. I also provide means for tying the walls together so that liability of the bin breaking down will be reduced to a minimum if not wholly avoided.
In the drawings, i Figure I is a perspective view ofan elevator with which two of the bins are associated, part of the wall of one bin being broken away to show the interior construc-' tion thereof. I
Fig. II is a cross sectional view through one of the bins.
Fig. III is a fragmentary perspective view of parts of two of the partition walls and the connecting wall thereof, showing the manner.
of tying the parts together.
Fig. IV is a. sectional view modified form of bin.
Fig. V is a fragmentary perspective view of part of the outer circular wall and one in a slightly end of the curved inner partition walhi show ing the vertical tying rods and FigJVI is a diagrammatic view of a further modified form of bin.
Referring now to the drawings by numerals of reference: I
1 designates an elevator on each side of which is illustrated a bin 2. The bin is preferably constructed with a circular wall com prising tiles or building blocks 3 which may Specification of Letters Patent.

beef anjyfpreferred construction but which are fn'eferably hiillowhs illustrated in detail in F' III. The tile are shown as proedge grooves i and 5 so that when thetilelare laid in courses with the joints ofbneeourse overlapping those of t-heother a cement receiving space is provided in which the horizontal reinforcing rodsG may be placerlto be embedded in the cement. The
reinforcing rods are preferably of suflicient length to permit a single red to laid in the uppergroove of the last course of tile with the ends overlapping, as shown at 7, Fig-QII; As each circular courseof tile is laid a pair of corresponding courses are laid in inwardly projecting arcuate form to provide the walls 9 and 10 andthese are con .nected by the cross wall 11, as shown in Figs. II and III. The inwardly projecting arcuate wall 9 and 10 may be tied to the eircular outer wall by the reinforcing rods 12 and 18, the ends of the rods being embedded in the cement in the grooves of the tile 3 forming the outer wall of bin and having greater security. These may be wrapped if desired. The transverse wall 11 is tied to the inwardly projecting arcuate walls 9 and '10 by the reinforcing and bonding rod 14,
the ends 15 and 16 of which lie upon the re intorcing and bonding rods 12 and 13 and may be secured by the bonding wires 17.
From the foregoing it will be apparent a bin constructed in accordance with the one just described may be easily assembled and yet be of substantial structure and it will be apparent that the partitions may be so disposed that the bin will be divided in equal compartments, this being desirable in rural districts where each farmer desires to store his grain separately.
In the form shown in Figs. IV and V the outer wall of the bin will be provided at the juncture of the arcuate walls with vertical tile 3 so that a vertical wire or bonding rod 18 may: be passed through the vertical air space 1!) and ross the horizontal circular In this form tbebond wires 12 and 1.3 are passed around the reinforcing rods 6 and have their ends projecting down I wardly into the air spaces of the vertical tile as at 20, Fi V.
In Fig. T 1 I have shown a diagrammatical view of a construction of a plurality of bins in which the inner divisional walls of the end bins are simply a continuation of the outer walls of the intermediate bin. This is a convenient construction where large capacity is required.
WVhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is: V V
1. A grain bin comprising an upstanding circular wall consisting of tile laid in courses, circular bonding rods between the courses, similar arcuate shaped walls within the circular wall at opposite sides of the center thereof and presenting inner convex faces and outer, concaver faees and having their vertical end edges abutting the inner face'oi' the said circular wall, bonding wires in the arcuately'curved-walls having their ends parallel withthe circular bonding rods,
against the inner face of the outer wall at spaced points, said arcnate walls presenting inner convex faces to each other and consisting of blocks laid in courses and a connecting wall interposed between the arcuate *alls between the ends thereof and bracing and holding the same in position to each other and the circular outer wall.
- 3. A grain bin comprising an upstanding circular wall consisting of tile laid in courses, diametrically opposite, arcuate walls within the circular wall at opposite sides of the center thereof and presenting in ner convex faces toward each other and having their vertical end edges abutting the inner face of the said circular wall, the ends of the arcuate walls abutting against the inner face of the circular wall, the arcuate walls being spaced apart, and a transverse wall connecting the two arcuate walls, whereby a substantially H-shaped partition is formed within the upstanding curved all.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
