UNITED- STATES PATENT OFFICE,

,icgr' nah-areal iljiaasfsa my invention, among others, .is to provide a device of this class that shall embody ex- I is i menstruation e dear high degree of efiieu mmn,

i pl citythe same time a its operation. One form' of device embodying m invention' and in the construction an use of which the ob'ects herein set out, as well as others, may be attained, is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a view infront elevation of a radiator embodying 'myinvention, with parts cut away in vertical section to show construction. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the radiator, with arts broken away to show 3 is a detail-view showing the construction of one of my improved radiator tubesfand. the means for. securing it to a late of the radiator .(scaleenlarged) In 0 accompanying awings the 'numefal? denotes the reservoir located at the and 6 the chamber located at the bottom to Y of a radiator of common and well known 85 "construction, these two partsfbeing 0011- nectcd at each end by a series of. pipes ;7 each series consisting ofany of lpipes. Y e numeral S'denotesthe pi .communi-' catin .with the'reservoir 5,-.an 9 that. with the c her-6, these pipes being arranged for connection with the gator. jacket of an h engine, all of which may? of ordinary and we ,kno'wn construction. -,p

Inthe construction of devices of this the far as orl e' niateriah'an' my improved radiator contemplates such a structure in which the ,50 airisdirected means of on to the engine b e radiator tubes extendingthrough or into t In carrying my invention efiect l proextending between these tubes being specification of Letters PatentE museums an; 1:; ma.- m1ah; mm.

' preferably that the back also preventing. any flow construction is exactly as Patented Sepia 1.

the is I s thereto shall pomng the sirontvplate. Each of 12 :is of any suitable size in diameter; andis threaded as at 2.3 at one end to receives :be very eloseg asacpiated on see flanged or threaded'nipple 14 time flange 15 V v of which rests against the outer surface of plate and clampsthe plaiaehetzweeathe end of the tube 12 me the fianga 1 s. 'The *radiator-strnctum is of suchwrigidity-,.-iand file means for securing thetuhes )to-thefmnt' plate. see so .efiective, be loosely engaged in that these txflaes may the openings in the rear .lhaad 'withoa.=-. e ar os N there or, or, if it be desired, any means,

(solder or similar material being preferably excepted) may be employed for securing the tubes to the rear plate. 1 As the radiator is moved, through the air, currents are forced through the .tubes 12 on to the engine, and in order that these currents of air shallmeet with as little resistance as possible, in their pro ess, each ni witharelieve orbell shape air entering, the flared mouth 17 of each nipee, t e

plc is provided outlet 16 so that and shall be unimpeded.

pleisim dedto aminimum de column 0 air taking its natural orm, the

relieving and cutting away of the nipple at eddies or back i air and also preventing cr'ox currents from interfering from the front. to theiback plate at that art with each other so I that substantially all of the resistance that,

of the radiator not occup ed by thepipes 7, and short tubes 18 are secured tovthe front plate by thanipples 14in the manner" above described, these tubes to permit-their location to rents of air'on to and about other than the shortening of being shortened direct the curthese tubes the It is an aim of niy preseht invention to so shaple the interior oi the ni le to conform to" t e shape that will naturally be assumed thepipes 7, but" above described described herein by a column of air enter' the tube 12, that the presence of the nipp e shall not reduce the amount of air that would otherwise pass into the tube and to flare the mouth to an extent to increase the amount of air that would otherwise pass into the tube. V I claim v 1. In a radiator, a frameinclu'ding a front and back plate, and a series of tubes having screw-threaded ends and connected with one of said plates, the connections including nipples fitting within said screw threaded ends of the tubes and having openings with flared outlets at that end of the nipples opening into said tubes.

2. A radiator including a frame having front and back plates, and a series of tubes,

having screw-threaded ends, said tubes extending between said plates, and being secured to one of the plates to deliver air through the openings in said tubes, the connections for said tubes including nipples fitting the screw threaded ends of t e tubes and having flaredmouths at one end and flared outlets at the opposite ends that open into said tubes.

line with said pipes, the connections secur- .ing the tubes to the place including nipples fitting said screw threaded ends of the tubes and having flared months at their inlet ends and flared outlets at the opposite ends of the nipples that open into said tubes.
