Abstract
A container for high pressure gases and fluids is provided with a tubular housing having a lid fastened to one or more axially extending elements within the housing for transferring axial forces from one end of the container to the other without subjecting the housing itself to axial forces.
Claims9
In a high pressure container provided for accommodation of a working mechanical device being exposed to changing forces, comprising a shell which is sized to withstand the internal pressure of the container, the improvement which comprises:
- a tubular housing;
- a lid adapted for closing at least one end of said housing;
- and
- one or more axially extending, tension loaded elements within said tubular housing, fastened to said lid for transferring axial forces developed within said housing to a corresponding lid element at the other end of the tubular housing, enabling the tubular housing to take only radial loads, while the axially extending elements transfer any axial load created by the internal pressure on the lid to the corresponding lid element at the other end of said housing.
