The present invention relates to a portable or collapsible vessel for containing
water, made of waterproof material, such, for instance, as sail-cloth, impregnated
or hot with suitable composition, and which, in consequence of the small space it
occupies, when shut up or closed, is specially suitable for use as a safeguard against
fres, and for military and other purposes:

piece or foundation and a body suitably fastened thereto. The bottom is preferably
of rectangular form, and the body is connected thereto in such a manner as to form
a rectangular vessel m, cross section::

...COMPLETE SPECIFICATION..
A Portable Vessel for Containing Water.
I, FRANZ HALLERSTEDE of 26ª Langestrasse, Oldenburg in the Grand Duchy
of Oldenburg, Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
O described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to a portable or collapsible vessel for containing

page_text: water, made of waterproof material, such, for instance, as sail-cloth, impregnated
or not with suitable composition, and which, in consequence of the small space it
occupies when shut up or closed, is specially suitable for use as a safeguard against
fires, and for military and other purposes.
In the accompanying drawing this new water vessel is represented, Figure 1
being a perspective view, with the cover on; Figure 2 shews the vessel in its
shut-up condition, for convenience of carrying when empty.
According to this invention, the water vessel consists essentially of a bottom
piece or foundation b, and sides a, suitably fastened thereto. The bottom 6 is
preferably of rectangular form, and the sides a are connected thereto in such a
manner as to form a rectangular vessel in cross section.
1.
In order to prevent leakage, in case of the bottom part coming suddenly into
contact with the ground, the bottom is preferably made double. Protecting pieces
may also be adapted thereto, if desired, as shewn at .b in the simplified form of
construction at Figure 3.
On the uppermost edge of the body of the vessel a, bands d of suitable material
are sewn at opposite sides, of which either two serve as loops for wooden cross
bars c.
.
}
Instead of these four tags, two only may be employed, one on each side of the
vessel, as indicated at Fig. 3, in which case a single cross bar c is sewn in, for the
purpose of lifting and transporting the vessel. These cross bars form a convenient
handle for carrying the vessel, and are so arranged that the vessel can be carried
either by one or two persons, as desired. The cross bars shewn in Figure 1 have
holes in them, and are fastened to the bands d, to avoid an accidental slipping
through.
A cover e, fast with the body a of the vessel at f', prevents the escape of water,
by shaking, during transport. In order to secure this cover e in place, as indicated
in the drawing, three loops f are provided, which serve, in addition to being an
easy fastening, to quickly lift or open the cover. The folding up of the water
vessel is effected in such manner that the sides or body, as the upper part is pressed
down to the bottom b, are folded together, so that the several folds or pleats shall
not project beyond the edges of the bottom b, after the manner of an accordion-
(see Figure 2).
In other respects, the mode of folding up the vessel is illustrated at Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A collapsible water-vessel, as shewn and described, of rectangular or other
suitable section, and composed of waterproof material, for example, of impregnated
or non impregnated sail-cloth, which vessel may be so folded up that the
folded-up portions will not project beyond the edges of the bottom, in contact with
which they are pressed.
Dated this 22nd day of October 1895.
