PARTITION SUPPORT AND SURGE PLATE.
Application filed April 14,
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known thatl, ANDREW A. KRAMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and 55 State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Partition Sup ports and Surge Plates; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear,. and exact description of the invention, such as will enappertains to make and usethe 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 structures and one of the objects thereof is to provide a tank in which the partitions for dividing the tank into compartments will be reinforced or braced and whereby the braces will serve as a fastening means for the surge sheets which extend longitudinally of the tank and at right angles to the partitions.
Thefigure in the drawings is a perspec tive view of a tank constructed in accordance with my invention, parts bein broken away to show the interior constructlon thereof.
The tank 1 is shown as consisting of the usual construction in so far as the general 80 contour of the tank is concerned. Arranged transversely within the tank is a partition sheet 2,. the number of partition sheets, however, may be multiplied if desired. On the respective sides of the partition 2 are trans- 535 verse braces, shown as angles 3 and 4, which are fastened at their respective ends to the interior of the tank, preferably by'welding. The braces 3 and 4 and the braces 5 and 6 constitute, two parallel frames, vertically disposed within the tank and between which the partition 2 is secured. The partition 2 is simply confined within the frames, it being unnecessary to secure it to any of the braces because any blow or shock, due to shifting of the liquid longitudinally of the tank, will be resisted by a frame, either on one side or the other. 1
In order to prevent too sudden shifting of the entire load laterally of the tank, I W have provided surge sheets designated 7 1926. Serial no. 373,978.
, and 8, and these are fastened each at one end to a brace 5 or 6 and at the other .end to an end sheet 9 of the tank. The surge platesto provide slots or openings 11 so that all of the contents of the tank may find its way to the lowest point or the longitudinal center of the tank, this being important in draining the tank.
It will be apparent that the construction shown is simple, durable and efficient, and that the frames formed by the lateral braces and vertical braces will prevent bulging of thepartition sheet 2 in either direction, it being. only necessary to weld the edges of the sheet 2 to the interior of the tank and place the braces as heretofore indicated.
It will also be apparent that the construction afiords an easy means for fastening the surge sheets to the braces .and enables the surge sheets to assist the braces in maintaining their positions with respect to the partition sheet.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:
1. A tank, a pair of parallel transverse frames in the tank mounted in spaced relation, longitudinal surge plates in the tank connected to one of the frames, and to the tank, and a transverse dividing partition co-extensive with the cross sectional area of the tank and mounted between the frames so that the frames will receive any pressure communicated to the partition in either direction, the partition being solely supported by attachment to the tank.
2. A tank, a partition in said tank, angle irons on opposite sides of the partition, the partition being secured to the tank but loose with respect to the angle irons, and longitudinal partitions in the tank fastened to the angle irons, the longitudinal partitions having ports through which the liquid will pass transversely of the tank.
3. A tank, a partition in said tank, vertical braces in the tank for said partition and secured on opposite sides thereof indeof-the plate being spaced abovethe bottom of the tank, the ends of thesurge plate being fastened to the braces and to the end 10 of the tank.
In testimony whereofl afiix my signature.-
ANDREW A. KRAMER.
