  • One object of the invention is to provide an improved bubble tray which is so arranged that the parts thereof, that is, the floor and supporting structure therefor, may be constructed of a relatively thin material, whereby the cost of manufacture is materially reduced and also whereby a lighter structure which facilitates handling and assembly, is produced.
  • a particular object of the invention is to pro- I vide an improved bubble tray having a diametrically extending supporting beam and a plurality of transversely extending trusses disposed at substantially a right angle to the beam, each truss having one end secured to the beam and its opposite end fastened to the tank wall,
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved truss for bubble tray which has a general trapezoidal shape in cross-section, whereby maximum value of moment of inertia in cross-section is obtained and neutral axis is maintained at a location, which will allow greater unit fiber stress in extreme fibers in the tension side of the truss than in the compression side of said truss.
  • the invention will be more readily understood of the clamp which fastens the marginal portion together with a plurality of deck plates supported on the trusses and beam, and secured to these supports by improved fastening and clamping means; the arrangement making it possible to construct all of the parts of the tray of relatively thin, light material, whereby the use of cast iron for the tray, as has been the practice, is eliminated.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a bubble tray, of the character described, wherein an improved fastening means or connection be tween the trusses and the angle ring within tank or between thetrusses and the central beam. is employed, such connection being arranged to compensate for any structural errors or misalinements, whereby the parts may be accurately fastened in proper or desired positions.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a bubble tray, of the character described, wherein an improved clamp is adapted to fasten the peripherai'or marginal edges of the deck plates or floor sections to their supports without the necessity of drilling bolt holes in the supports or plates, whereby the plates are held against distortion;

  • the end of the beam When the end of the beam is in p'osition upon the angular support,'the end of. the plate l2 of said beam abuts an inwardly extending lug 2
  • the lug is disposed above the angular support It and in substantial alinement with the annular, angle ring ll, said ring being cut out, as shown at Ila to permit the lug 2! to be properly located.
  • the extended endof the plate l2 beyond the angle bars I! of the beam 3 is formed with a bolt hole 22 which is adapted to register with an elongate slot 23 formed in the lug 2

  • the beam 3 extends diametrically across the center of the tank I. ( Figure 2) and a plurality of trusses or supporting elements '1 extend from the center beam to the angle ring II.
  • the trusses are disposed at substantially a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the beam Band as is clearly shown in Figure 2, said trusses are disposed in parallel, spaced relationship to each other.
  • Each truss is constructed of a single piece of material which has a general trapezoidal shape in cross-section ( Figure 3). By shaping the truss in this manner, said truss is provided with a flat top 25 and inclined sides 28 which are spread toward their lower ends.
  • the extreme lower ends of the sides 26 are bent outwardly to provide longitudinal flanges 21.

  • the tongue may be disposed within the groove at various points so as to compensate for any irregularities in manufacture or to obtain proper positioning of the truss within the tank, also, this arrangement eliminates the necessity of requiring the plate 36 to be accurately located at a given point, for obviously its length will compensate for an incorrect location of .the plate within certain limits.
  • the construction facilitates the manufacture and assembly of the bubble tray.
  • an angular clamp 3? ( Figure 8) may be provided.

  • brackets 29 have been illustrated as fastening the inner ends of the trusses T to the central beam B, these brackets could also be employed for fastening the outer ends of said trusses to the angle ring ii. In such instance, each bracket would be welded or otherwise secured to the underside of the lateral flange or the ring ll. Similarly, the tongue 3% and the plate 36 could be employed for fastening the inner end of each truss to the central beam B. In other words, the fastening means between the trusses and their supports is interchangeable;
  • the beam B and trusses T form a supporting structure which is adapted to support a plurality of deck plates lit, which form the floor of the bubble tray.
  • each deck plate is of a sufficientlength to extend from the center beam outwardly to the angle ring ii and is of such width as to span the distance between the trusses '1.

  • Each bolt receives a nut 05 which is adapted to be tight- 'ened against the underside of the top 25 of the truss and with this arrangement, the deck plates are securely fastened to the trusses T, but due to the slots 52, are permitted to undergo a limited lateral movement with respect to each other. Such lateral movement compensates for thermal expansion and contraction of the deck plates. Manifestly, the nuts 45 are readily accessible from beneath the trusses.
  • the deck plates are frictionally secured in position on the trusses T and capable of a limited lateral movement.
  • the deck plates may be mounted on the trusses as shown in Figure 9.
