Definitions

  • Zinn & Macpeak ABSTRACT A liquid transporting tank for tank cars which has a first pipe for introducing liquid into the bottom of the tank car and a second pipe for removing liquid from the top of the tank car, Hoses interconnect the outlet pipe of a preceding car to the inlet pipe of a subsequent car so that both cars may be filled through the inlet to the preceding car.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of the tank car
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the tank
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation explaining an example which is in operation
  • FIG. 4 is a view explaining the loading of liquid
  • FIG. 5 is a view explaining the unloading of liquid
  • FIG. 6 shows the present invention applied to a liquid container in which (A) is a side elevation of the container, and (B) is a side elevation explaining its operation.
  • T in FIG. I designates a tank of the tank car. Liquid is loaded into the tank T from the pipe E through the opening B at the bottom portion of the tank.
  • each of the tank cars are equipped with ball valves or the like at portions E, F as shown in FIG. 2.
  • loading operation becomes extremely simple, and the separate loading of an individual tank car is omitted. Also, no transfer operation is necessary for respective tank cars past the position where the loading equipment is installed. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the loading operation can conveniently be effected even when the lengths of respective cars are different.
  • the present invention can be applied not only for the tank cars, but also for handling a large number of containers.
  • FIG. 6 shows an example of the present invention when it is applied to containers.
  • the function and the effect thereof are similar to the above examples, but in this case, since the transportation is effected for small-lot users, it is possible to unload the containers immediately at the arrival station by means of an outlet M provided on the underside of the tank vessel.
  • a tank car for transporting measured volumes of liquid comprising:
  • liquid is introduced into said tank by said first pipe, rises to the level of said second pipe horizontal elongated and passes through said second pipe to said discharge reservoir after filling a predetermined.
  • liquid transporting tank car as claimed in claim 1, wherein said discharge reservoir constitutes a second identically formed tank, whereby; liquid introduced into said first tank car will fill that tank to the level of the second pipe whence liquid will then be introduced into the first pipe of the second tank car.
  • a method of unloading liquid from a plurality of separately inclinable relatively movable series connected tank cars which transport measured volumes of liquid each of said tank cars including a horizontal elongated tank a protrusion within the bottom of said tank at the center thereof, a first pipe extending vertically within said tank and terminating within said protrusion with the opening thereof coplanar with the tank bottom and a second pipe projecting vertically through the top of said tank near the center thereof with its open end terminating near the top of said tank to determine the volume of measured liquid carried thereby, flexible hydraulic connections existing between the second pipes of the first and succeeding tanks and the first pipe of the tanks next succeeding them, said method comprising the steps of:
