Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 108 words
A heat storage device of the type in which a plurality of heat storage vessels (1, 1'), each storing therein a heat storage material (3, 3'), are put on supports (4, 4') arranged in a rack form, and gaps (L) for the flow of an external fluid (F) are defined between said heat storage vessels (1) adjacent one another in the vertical direction, characterized in that grooves (6, 6') for said supports (4, 4') are defined on the lower surface of each of said heat storage vessels (1) so that said supports (4, 4') do not project from the bottom surface of said heat storage vessels (1, 1').
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 108 words
A heat storage device of the type in which a plurality of heat storage vessels (1, 1'), each storing therein a heat storage material (3, 3'), are put on supports (4, 4') arranged in a rack form, and gaps (L) for the flow of an external fluid (F) are defined between said heat storage vessels (1) adjacent one another in the vertical direction, characterized in that grooves (6, 6') for said supports (4, 4') are defined on the lower surface of each of said heat storage vessels (1) so that said supports (4, 4') do not project from the bottom surface of said heat storage vessels (1, 1').
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
The heat storage device according to claim 1 wherein each of said heat storage vessels (1, 1') is curved (0) either upward or downward in such a fashion as to cause turbulence of the flow of said external fluid (F).
