    Abstract: 1,050,954. Carrying liquefied gases. LINDE A.G. Feb. 17, 1964 [Feb. 15, 1963], No. 6486/64. Heading B7A. [Also in Division F4] A substantially rectangular or trapezoidal storage container for liquefied gases has walls formed from a plurality of outwardly curved sections and the intersections of the curved sections on two opposite side walls are provided with external supports which bear against fixed walls whereas the intersections on the other two opposite side walls are connected by internal ties or partitions. The rectangular container, Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown), is supported externally by the walls 27 of a ship and is formed from four vertical part-cylindrical edge sections connected on two opposite sides by upper and lower part cylindrical horizontal edge sections 2, 3, and at the other sides by similar horizontal edge sections 2a. The edge sections are filled in by welded part-cylindrical sections or by rectangular plates 21 which are outwardly bowed in two directions. The external walls may be of single or double walled construction. The sections are preferably joined together by welding adjacent edges to junction pieces which extend inwardly where they are either welded to the partition walls or ties 22, and outwardly where they support the container by means of pivoting supports 24 which allow the container to move vertically or horizontally, and hinged horizontal pivots 23 which allow only vertical movement of the container. The vertical edge plates are provided with upper and lower cylindrical extensions closed by covers 16 and bases 17. Alternatively the outer corners of the container may be formed at the top and bottom by hollow part spherical components 4 fabricated by welding together triangular subsections cut from a part cylindrical plate. In the generally trapezoidal container of Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown) the curved sections 35, 36, 37 thereof are hollow part-conical plates the intersections of which are provided with support plates 44 reinforced by transverse ribs 47. The plates 44 carry brackets 46 which coact with plain bearing surfaces 51 secured to the fixed wall of a ship which thereby allow relative horizontal and vertical movement therebetween. The middle support plate 44 along each opposite side wall coacts with a plain bearing surface 49 having lateral guide surfaces 50 which allow only vertical movement of the container. The part-conical corners 35, 36 are reinforced by internal vertical chordal plates 39, 39 1 and internal horizontal apertured plates 41. Horizontal plates 40 are provided for reinforcing the side walls 37.
