Definitions

  • FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional elevational view through a cross-section of a ship with a liquid storage tank mounted therein;
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of a modification for pivotal attachment of the rods.
  • the tank is formed with a central dome 31% which extends upwardly from the top wall of the tank and through which the various elements for the introduction and removal of liquid cargo, for the release of vapors, and for control of the conditions Within the tank, are housed.
  • tie rods 32 which interconnect the top wall of the tank with the girders of the ships structure are not rigidly joined to the respective elements, but are operatively connected thereto in a manner which will permit a small amount of relative movement between the ends, due to stretching. Instead, the tie rods can be pivoted at their ends, as at 33, onto the aligned portions of the ships structure and bracket plates.
  • a layer of insulation 52 such as fiberglass batts, corkboard, balsawood, foamed plastics, bags of pearlite and the like may be disposed over the top wall of the tank, preferably but not necessarily, substantially to fill the space between the top wall of the tank and the girders on the bottom side of the ships deck.
  • the improvement which comprises a means for stabilizing the position of the tank within the insulated hold space to resist displacement in response to the pitching and rolling of the ship while permitting freedom of movement of the tank relative to the ships structure in response to changes in dimensions of the tank due to expansions and contractions from temperature change comprising a bracket rigid with the top wall of the tank and having a portion extending vertically therefrom, a structural member of the ship rigid with the ship and extending in spaced parallel relation with the vertical portion of the bracket and dimensioned horizontally to overlap at least a portion of said vertically disposed member, aligned openings in said vertically disposed member of the bracket and said structural member of the ship, elongate rigid tie rods extending continuously through said aligned openings at a slight upward inclination from said structural member
  • a ship as claimed in claim 1 in which the vertically extending portion of the bracket and the said structural element of the ship are aligned lengthwise of the ship.
  • a ship as claimed in claim 1 in which more than one bracket with a vertically extending portion is aligned lengthwise of the ship with substantially the central portion of the tank and in longitudinally spaced apart relation.
  • a ship as claimed in claim 1 in which a pair of laterally spaced apart vertically extending portions are provided in the top wall of the tank in lengthwise alignment with the ship and in substantial alignment with the central portion of the tank with said rods extending in one direction from one of said vertically extending portions and with other rods extending in the opposite direction from the other of said vertically extending portions and laterally spaced apart structural members rigid with the ship engaged by said oppositely extending rods.
  • a ship as claimed in claim 1 in which the means on the through extending portions of the rods :for tensioning the rods between the bracket and the structural member of the ship comprises threaded end portions on the rods and nut members turned down upon the through extending end portions.
  • a ship as claimed in claim 1 in which the structural member of the ship to which the rods are connected comprises girders extending downwardly from the bottom side of the ships deck to a level below the upper edge of the vertically extending portion of the bracket.
  • the improvement which comprises a means for stabilizing the position of the tank within the insulated hold space to resist displacement in response to the pitching and rolling of the ship while permitting freedom of movement of the tank relative to the ships structure in response to changes in dimensions of the tank due to expansions and contractions from temperature change comprising a plurality of substantially rigid tie rods disposed above the top of the tank
