IMPROVEMENT IN VESSELS FOR STORING AND'TRANS PORTING OILS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 64,123, dated April 23, 1867 Reissue 'Ko. 8,07 1, dated February 5,1878; application. filed December 27, 1875.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. McGAnRY, of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Tanks; and I do hereby declare that the following is ,a. full, clear, and complete description of the same, reference being had to the aceompanyingdrawings, making a part of this s iecifieation, in which-+- Figure 1 is a side view of the tank A and its appurtenances in part. Fig. 2 is an end tudinal vertical section of the tank A and of the .inner shell or lining B, and also shows parts of the appurtenances connected with the Like letters of referencerefer to like parts in the several views.

This tank consists of a cylindrical or barrel shaped vessel, (seen at A, Fig. 1,) which is constructed ofiron, and of a holding capacity greater or less, as may be required. Vithin the tank A is secured the inner shell or lining B, Fig. 3, and this, in conjunction with a head at each end of said lining l3 and at each end Fig. 3. D, Fig. 3, is a man-hole, and is pro vided with a plate, 0, around the under side of which is a deep flange, which is made to fit into a corresponding groove surrounding the man-hole. This plate is made tight, and kept in place by the screw 'E, Figs. 1 and 3. At the under side of the tank is the outlet F, Fi land 3, leading from the interior of the shell. I and which is closed by the valve G, 3 ]'-i 3. This valve is operated by the rod H, Fig. 3,:which is seen. to project through the the handle I, Figs. 1 and 3. J, Figs. 1 and 2, is also an outlet, leading from the water-chamber U, Fig. 3. At the upper side is the inlet K, Figs. 1 and 3, leading to the interior of the lining 1- L, Figs. 1 and 3, is an inlet, leading to the water-chamber C. These inlets and which theyarekept tight and secure. 'Each end of this tank A is provided with a journal, I), by which it is sustained upon supports or let F, Figs. 1 and 2.

trusses M, Figs. 1 and 2, and made to revolve, for the purpose hereinafter shown.

To aid in the support of the tank A, a pair of saddles, N, Figs. 1 and 2, are provided, and

upon which the ends of the tank are supported,

as shown in Figs. .1 and 2. 0 Figs. 1 and 2, represents the platform of a railroad car or truck, upon which the tank is mounted, and

supportednpon said trusses and saddles secured to the platform of the car or truck. Un

der the feet-of the saddles N, Figs. 1 and 2-, is placed a spring, 0, for the purpose of an easier,

carriage of the filled tank A, the transportation of which may be by land or water.

The interior chamber P of the lining is filled with oil-through the inlet K, Figs. 1 and 3, and then the inlet closed by the screw cap,

as before described. The annular chamber (J is filled with water through the inlet L, Figs.

1 and 3, and when so filled the inlet is closed by the screw-cap.

By this arrangement of lining B the oil is.

entirely surrounded by water, and is therefore completely protected. Hence the danger of taking fire while in transportation or other wise is wholly. avoided, as no part of the tank A is then in contact with the oil; also, the water prevents any leakage of the oil. to the out side.

In order to draw the oil from the chamber I, a tube or conductor is attached to the out- For the greater convenience of attaching the conductor, or for other needful purposes, the tank may be turned upon thejournals referred to. The oil is then drawn oil by raising the valve G, Fig. 3, by means of a thread cut'upon the rod II, Fig. 3, and in the stuffing-box, throu ghwhioh the rodis projected, as aforesaid.

As before remarked, this tank A is shown as being mounted upon a platform of a railroad car ortruck, supported on trusses and saddles, as above said. In this position it is easily and conveniently transported, and with out danger of displacement.

I2 I h v r her as ordinary barrels, and willv occupy no more room than a cask of equal capacity, and is far safer and more durable.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In vessels for storing and. transporting oils, the tank A, and the shell or lining B, forming a water-chamber at the sides and ends, in combination with inlets and outlets, I arranged as and for the purpose substantially as set forth. v

2.v The tank for transportation supported Witnesses :v

upon journals or bearings, as and for the pur poseset forth,-

'3. The saddles N,provided.'with springbearings, in combination with the tank, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4. In combination with the oil-tank A of a railwayear', the'saddles N, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
