  • Publication number: 20250084966
    Abstract: A bearing for one or a plurality of pressure vessels configured to store gaseous fuel includes at least one bearing plate per pressure vessel and a mounting. The bearing plate on an inside has a clearance configured to pass through a longitudinal end of the pressure vessel, and on an outside has a periphery configured to receive a mounting. The mounting has a first part and a second part. The second part is fastened to the first part. The periphery or the peripheries of the bearing plates is/are received in one or a plurality of intermediate spaces between the first part and the second part. The bearing plates are convex in such a way that, when viewed in a longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel, the clearance is displaced in comparison to the periphery.
