4 H SWEICIHSEL ATTORNEY Patented Mar. 26, 1940 I UNITED STATES GASOMETER CONSTRUCTION Hans Weichsel, Webster Groves,.Mo., assignor to Wagner Electric Corporation, St. Louis, Mo., a corporation of Delaware Application May 27, 1937, Serial No. 145,090
2 Claims.
My invention relates to gasometer apparatus for use with transformer and other tanks in which a supply of inert gas is to be maintained. In my co -pending application Serial No. 144,321, I,
tion and as is shown by the drawing accompany ing this application, the gasometer comprises a flexible bag element I and a weight element 2 carried on the top of the'bag and bymeans of which the desired inert gas pressure is main tained in the gas containing'space of the transformer tank, which space, communicates with the gasometer chamber through pipe 3.;
ometers for transformer casings of substantial size the weight element 2 may weigh a hundred pounds or more and means must be provided whereby the apparatus can not only be assembled in the factory in form ready for service but can be shipped without danger of the weight element injuring or destroying the flexible bag.
In accordance with myinvention I provide a ring 4 positioned, as shown, in the weight element and having an inclined inner surface, this ring being secured to the weight element by remove able bolts 5. The top casing portion 6 of the gasometer is provided with spaced downwardly exe tending stop elements I which, in use on the gasometer, limit the upward movement of the bag and weight, These stops are so positioned that the lower ends will be' received in the smallest inner diameter of positioning ring 4. A clamping 40 rod 8 is in threaded engagement with the center'- Ill gas- I wall and the wall of the casing whereby there can be 'no vertical or lateral movement during shipment. Upon installation, the gasometer v can be put into operation by merely removing nut it, although it would ordinarily be preferable to 5 also, remove clamping rod 8. The ring Ii can be made in sections whereby it can also be removed through the top opening in the casing if for any reason it is desired to lighten, to that extent,
the weight operative on the flexible bag forming 10 the top of the gasometer gas chamber.
Figure 2 illustrates a modification in whicha cylindrical stop element I I is substituted for the spaced stop elements 1 in Figure 1. I
Having fully described my invention, what claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
' 1, A gasometer comprising a flexible bag ele-- ment and a weight element thereon, a casing en: closing said bag element and weight, abutment means afiixed to the upper part of the casingand projecting downwardly therefrom, means on the weight element cooperating with the abutment means to prevent lateral movement of the weight,
I and a clamping element connected to the weight 25 element to maintain-the abutment means in cooperative relation with said means on the weight element, said clamping element being releasably secured to the casing.
2. Agasometercomprising a flexible bag ele- 30 merit and. a weight element thereon, a casingenclosingsaid bag element and weight, abutment meansafiixed to the upper part of the casing and I projecting downwardly 'therefrom, an annular ring secured to the upper surface of the weight HANS WEICHSEL.
