PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stanchions adapted for Use on Fishing Vessels
and elsewhere.
I, ANDREW JOHNSON, of St. Andrew's Dock, Hull, in the County of York, Fish
Salesman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved method of constructing stanchions,
particularly those employed in the fish-rooms of trawlers and carriers, and in the
preserving rooms of other vessels carrying meat or other perishable commodities.
According to the practice hitherto prevailing, solid wood stanchions are commonly
employed to receive and to support the "pound-boards" dividing the rooms into
compartments.
According to my improved mode of construction, the stanchions are formed of
metal, of a circular, rectangular or other suitable hollow section. The interiors of
the stanchions are charged with, or through them is caused to circulate, a freezing
composition, such as brine mixed with pounded ice so that, by absorpsion of
heat, the rooms are maintained at a low temperature.
Suitable attachments for charging, discharging or circulating the freezing
mixture are provided; and the stanchions are so formed that they may be readily
fixed in place, or dismounted when not required: suitable strips or flanges being
moreover provided to receive the "pound" or division boards.

Improvements in Stanchions adapted for Use on Fishing Vessels
and elsewhere.
I, ANDREW JOHNSON, of St. Andrew's Dock, Hull, in the County of York, Fish
Salesman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
This invention relates to an improved method of constructing stanchions, particu-
larly those employed in the fish rooms of trawlers and carriers, and in the pre-
serving rooms of other vessels carrying meat or other perishable articles.
According to the practice hitherto prevailing, solid wood stanchions are commonly

page_text: employed to receive and to support the pound boards dividing the rooms into
compartments.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is an elevation and Fig. 2 a corresponding
plan, in section, of a stanchion constructed according to my improved method.
In constructing the improved stanchion, it is formed of metal, of a circular,
rectangular or other suitable hollow section, such as A, closed at each end; the
space a within the stanchion being charged with, or through which is caused to
circulate, a freezing composition, such as brine mixed with pounded ice; so that by
absorption of heat the rooms are maintained at a low temperature. Suitable
attachments a' may be made at the upper and lower ends of the stanchion for
use in charging, discharging, or circulating the freezing mixture: and the
stanchion is preferably formed with flanged ends so that its attachment to
the floor and deck of the vessel may be readily effected, or, when not required,
its removal may be as readily effected. The sides of the tubular stanchions are
furnished with strips or bars of channel iron 22 for receiving the pound or
division boards B B.
In the drawings I have illustrated the simplest form of hollow stanchion, but
the tubes may be of any desired form in cross section with a view to presenting
increased cooling surface.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim:―
In refrigerating chambers on board ship and elsewhere the employment of
tubular stanchions, adapted to convey refrigerating fluid and provided externally
with grooves or channels for the reception and support of the pound-boards.
