STORM-CELLAR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 21, 1911.
Application filed June 21, 1910. Serial No. 568,121.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERT L. honor, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at McKinney, in the county of Collin and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Storm-Cellars, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to storm or cyclone cellars, the object of the invention being to provide a structure which when embedded in the ground will be securely anchored therein and held against any possible working loose.
In the drawing, forming a portion of this specification and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views :Figure 1 is a detail perspective view of my improved storm cellar. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section therethrough. Fig. 3 is a detail vertical section through a portion of the cellar showing a slightly modified form of the same.
The cellar is formed preferably of suitable sheet material and it comprises a bottom 1, sides 2, ends 3, and a lead or staircase-forming part 4, which latter extends upwardly and outwardly from one of the end walls, and as illustrated, it is closed by a suitable cover 5. The side walls of the structure are struck outwardly at suitable spaced intervals to form lateral anchors 6, relatively broad spaces 7 being formed between the anchoring portions for the reception of the dirt, it being desirable to fill in such spaces and to compact the dirt therein so as to hold the cellar against any possible working loose. The side and end walls of the cellar are closed by a suitable roof 8 through which extend suitable vent tubes 9. These tubes are provided at their upper ends with suitable hoods 10, as illustrated. By constructing the side walls of the cellar as described, the anchoring projections 6 form on the interior of the cellar suitable shelves 11.
In the modified form of my invention shown in Fig. 3, the lowermost step is formed to provide a forwardly extending flange 11 which is secured to the bottom 11, and as illustrated, the said lowermost step is formed to provide a rearwardly directed anchoring flange l2.
. I claim 1. A storm cellar comprising an inclosure having vertical side walls each formed throughout its length to provide outwardly extending anchoring portions to be embedded in the ground, and inwardly extending shelf-forming portions which are disposed within the inclosure.
2. A storm cellar formed of sheet metal and provided with vertical walls stamped throughout to form outwardly extending longitudinal anchoring portions to be embedded in the ground, and inwardly extending shelf-forming portions, the inclosure being formed at one end with a staircase, and the lowermost step of the staircase being bent upon itself to form an outwardly extending anchoring flange and having its terminal portion secured directly against the inclosure.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HERBERT L. LEDDY.
