125 Railroad tank car US12966335 2010-12-13 US08833268B2 2014-09-16 James Shirvinski; Jeremy DeLacerda
Railroad tank cars are provided that include an inner tank, an outer tank, and tank to tank clearance between the inner tank and the outer tank. Insulation and spacers can be located within the tank to tank clearance. The inner tank can shift within the outer tank, and spacers can crush, under significant force loading, such as impact forces generated during a collision or derailment. The inner tank, insulation, spacers, and outer tank thus form an energy absorbing system that reduces the likelihood that the inner tank will be breached, and that a hazardous material contained therein will be released, under such conditions.

A stub sill includes side plates having ears that extend upward to support the tank near where the head of the tank is attached, and a head brace is welded to the side plates and to the head of the tank in a weld joint that can be continuous along the head brace from the ears of the side plate to the center of the head brace. Doublers may be provided on the sill where the head brace is welded to the side plates.
130 Lifting hook arrangement for railway tank car US572698 1990-08-27 US5076173A 1991-12-31 Thomas B. Baker; John A. Krug
An improved bolster assembly (21) is for use on a railway tank car (T). The assembly comprises a vertical web member (23) the upper end of which is formed to fit about the outer surface of the shell (S) forming the tank. The member has a lifting hook opening (41) formed therein adjacent the outer end of the member. The size and orientation of the opening conform to the Association of American Railroads (AAR) design specifications for devices used in vertically lifting the car. Reinforcement plates (45a, 45b) are attached to at least one side of the web member, at the upper end thereof, to reinforce the member. The reinforcement plates are spaced from the opening and not adjacent thereto.
131 Hydraulic hammer reduction system for railroad tank cars US368648 1989-06-20 US4938247A 1990-07-03 S. E. Yandle, II
A mechanical hydraulic dampening device (100) having kinetic energy dissipating baffles (2) in its interior with no moving parts, which device (100) is included in a moving tank car carrying a liquid load, such as for example a railroad tank car (6), having a rupture disk assembly (9) at the top of the tank (6) to prevent fracturing of the tank (6) due to hydraulic hammer action, the device (100) being located in line between the rupture disk and the liquid load. When the tank (6) is suddenly moved, the shifting liquid load passes through the pipe-like device (100), impacting against a series of longitudinally spaced, opposed, diverging, upwardly angled, flat plates (2) each extending across more than 50% of the interior of the pipe body (1) of the device (100), causing its energy and the hydraulic hammer action to be dissipated. In most, if not all, cases the presence of the mechanical baffling device (100) prevents the rupture disk from rupturing, while maintaining the hydraulic hammer action down to acceptable limits, preventing spilling of any of the liquid load which otherwise would have occurred through the rupture disk. The device (100) is relatively small, occupying and extending into far less than 1% of the total tank capacity.
132 Center stub still railway tank car construction US866693 1986-07-14 US4805540A 1989-02-21 James D. Mundloch; William U. Casseau
A center stub sill railway tank car is disclosed having a generally cylindric, elongate tank. A center stub sill assembly is secured to the lower portion of the tank at each end thereof for transferring longitudinal train and lading loads between the tank and the center stub sill assembly. A bolster assembly is secured to the center stub sill and extends transversely of the car. An improved cradle assembly is secured to the lower end portion of the tank for reinforcing the tank bottom in the area of the center stub sill, the cradle assembly having an arcuate cradle extending at least in part circumferentially upwardly from the bottom centerline of the tank generally at the longitudinal position of the bolster assembly, and an upwardly facing hat section elongate cradle secured to the bottom end of the tank and extending inboard from the cradle. The center stub sill has vertical flanges extending inwardly from the bolster assembly on the outside of the hat section shaped cradle pad and welded thereto so as to transmit loading between the cradle pad and the center stub sill assembly.
133 Collar around tank car dome area US885775 1978-03-13 US4217830A 1980-08-19 Jack L. Himmelheber, Sr.
A protective collar for tank cars, which are used for the transport of materials capable of causing corrosion on the exterior surface of the tank car, is formed approximately in the shape of a downwardly facing C and is placed over the exterior upper surface of the car in the area of the car manway and associated fixtures, normally midway between the car ends. The collar is made of stainless steel or other such protective materials and is provided with apertures to accommodate the tank car manway and associated fixtures. The collar preferably is secured to the exterior surface of the car by means of a frame welded to the car surface and slidingly engaging the periphery of the collar to accommodate differential expansion between the collar and car.
134 Tank car having sloping bottom US3742866D 1971-05-17 US3742866A 1973-07-03 NEEDHAM R; GEYER W
A cylindrical tank for use in railway tank cars, for example, having an inner bottom sloping from the ends of of the tank toward the center of the car for drainage purposes. A continuous slope plate structure is secured within each end portion of the cylindrical tank and slopes downwardly from the end of the tank to the center at a constant slope while tapering in width at a generally constant rate with an enclosed fluid-tight void space being formed between the bottom of the cylindrical tank and each slope plate. Each slope plate structure is generally arcuate as viewed in cross section and has an upwardly bowed convex upper surface to form a relatively narrow flow channel along each side of the slope plates directed toward the center of the car.
135 Tank structure US3712250D 1970-05-14 US3712250A 1973-01-23 GEYER W; RANDOLPH R
An elongate tank structure having a sloping bottom to provide adequate drainage of liquids, and the method of making same. The tank structure comprises elliptical end heads having their major axes extending in a horizontal direction and a circular center portion, with the tank shell changing its shape gradually from the elliptical heads to the circular center and the tank bottom sloping gradually downwardly from the end heads to the center. The tank structure is formed by welding end heads of an elliptical shape to an open ended cylindrical tank shell which has been deformed at its ends to match the elliptical end heads. The enclosed tank structure thus formed is pressurized to an internal pressure exceeding the yield of the material from which the tank shell is formed, while the end heads are held against any deformation. The tank shell is thereby deformed by the internal fluid pressure into a circular center portion with the tank portion between the elliptical end heads and the center having a bottom which slopes gradually downwardly.
136 Railway tank car and external support ring therefor US3626867D 1969-08-22 US3626867A 1971-12-14 BECKER CARL E
There is disclosed an external support ring for a railway tank car including a fluidtight tubular body shell supported by trucks positioned adjacent to the outer ends of the body shell, the external support rings at each end of the car transmitting draft, buff and rotational forces from one of the trucks to the body shell and from the body shell to the other truck. The external support ring has a channel-shaped cross section and is secured to the body shell around the entire periphery thereof forming therewith a boxlike structure, the support ring has a relatively thin cross section above the horizontal midplane of the body shell and a relatively thick cross section below the horizontal midplane, the above structure tends to provide uniform stress distribution in the support ring and to transmit buff, draft and rotational forces from one of the trucks to the body shell and from the shell to the other truck without substantially any underframe; the body shell may be of uniform diameter throughout.
