Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 22, 1914. Application filed August 20, 1913. Serial No. 785,785.

To all whom, it may concern: v

Be it known that I, LEMBERT W. CQPPOGK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certaihnew and useful Improvements in Cooling Devices for Internal-Combustion Engines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en-.

able others skilled in the art to which it t the movementof the machine and prefer-- appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cooling devices .chine, and to provide the device with certain new and useful features: hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims. 7

This invention is particularly adapted for light delivery vehicles wherethe most convenient location for the package box is at the forward part of the machine. This location notonly places the box in an accessible place, but adds greatly to the general appearance of the vehicle giving it the .ef-

, feet of having a long engine hood and making possible a rakisli graceful design, which is,quite desirable. In this particular type ofvvehicle it is preferable to locate the engine back of the package box, where, in ordinary construction, it would be very difficult to obtain a suitable air circulation.

My invention. consists essentially of an air passage through the hinged lid ofthe package box, this passage being open at front and rear, and permitting the air induced by ably-aidedbyacirculating fan'on the englue to pass therethrough and circulate around the engine and in various features of construction and arrangement, as will,

'more fully a pear byreference-to the accompanyingv awings in Which:

hide-embodying my invention; Fig. 2' is a front elevation of the same; Fig.3 is a sectional elevation ofjthe forwardart of the vehicle; Fig. 4 is a front view owing the package box removed and a false hood sub stituted in its place; and Fig. 5 is atrans- Figure 1' 1s a side-elevationof a motor ve-' verse sectional elevation on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3. Like numbers refer to like parts in all of the figures.

1 is the frame of the machine having a -motor 2 supported therein, approximately midway between the front and rear ends thereof. The motor is covered by a hood or apron 3 under which are also located the oil and gasolene tanks 4 and 5 and in the. side of which is provided a door 6 having a wire mesh panel which permits the free escapeof air therethrough. This door is also for the purposeof inspecting and adjusting,the engine.- Immediately in front of the engine'and at the forward termination of the hood 3 is a. wire mesh partition 7, and extending forward from this partition is a floor 8 supported by the frame of themachine. Upon said floor a package box 9 is. located and detachably fastened in place. This package bo'x preferably consists of four rectangular. walls .formedof sheet metal, the floor 8 forming the bottom of the box and the height of the walls lee-- ing somewhat less than the height of the wire partition 7 thus leaving a space above the rear wall of the box and the top of the hood 3. The lid 10 ofthe, box is preferably divided longitudinally into two sectio-ns which are hinged together and adapted. to be folded u ward, and each section .is formed prefera ly of two metallic walls spaced apart and open at the ends, leaving a passage therethrough, communicating at the rear with the space beneath the hood and at the front'with the open air. It is =obvious that this arrangement permits the air to pass freely into the forward open end of'this passage and out of the rear end thereof through the wire mesh} partition and around the air cooled m tor as indicated-"by the arrows in Fig. 3. his air circulation may also be aided by a fan- 11 near the motor and rotated thereby. After. circulating around the motor the air may either pass outward through the wire mesh in the doors 6, or backward. under the body of the car,

lids 10, are removable, the box being a2:-

.tached to the floor by. any convenient form of fastening, such as turn buckles 12, and

a false hood 13 may be substituted in its place if preferred. This hood may be of any desirable shape, but its rear end adjacent the wire mesh partition 7, must be smaller than said partition to expose suifi cient thereof to permit the air .,to pass through the same and circulate around the engine. This hood is shown attached in Fig. 4 and is indicated by broken lines in Fig. 1. v

Vhat I claim is 1. A motor vehicle, comprising a frame,

- passage therethrou'gh open at the front and a detachable package box at the forward part of the frame, a lid on sa1d package box, said lid having a longitudinal air passage therethrough, and a motor located at the rear of said package box.

2. A motor vehicle, comprising a frame, a motor mounted on sa1d frame, a hood over said motor, a detachable package. box on said frame in front of said hood and a lid on said box having a longitudinal air communicating at the rear with the underside of said hood.

3. A motor vehicle, comprising a frame,

a motor mounted on said frame, a hood over sa1d =motor, a wire mesh partition at the forward end of said hood, a detachable package box= mounted on saidframe in front of said partition, and a lidon said package box having a longitudinal passage therethrough open at the front and communicating with the said partition at the rear.

4. A- motor vehicle, comprising a frame,

' a motor mounted on said frame, a hood over sa1d motor, a vertical wire mesh partltionat the forward end of said hood, a floor on said frame extending forward of said partition, a package box detachably mounted on saidfloor, saidbox being lower than said partition, and a lid on said box having an air passage therethrough commumcating with said partition.

5.'A motor vehicle, comprising a frame, a motor on sa1d frame, a hood over sa1d motor, a floor extending forward of said hood, a package box consisting of four vertical rectangular walls detachably mounted on said floor, and atlid for said box-having a longitudinal passage there-v through communicating with the underside of said hood.

6. A motor vehicle, comprising a frame,

a motor mounted on,said frame, a package a box on said frame ahead of sa1d motor, a

lid on said package box, said lid being longitudinally divided into two portions, said portions hinged together and each portion provided with a longitudinal air passage therethrough.

. A motor veh1cle,'comprising a frame,

a motor mounted on said frame, a hood over said motor,,a wire mesh partition at tending forward of said partition, a package box consisting of four rectangular metallic walls detachably mounted .on'said floor. the height of said walls being less than that of said partition and a lid on said packa e box, said lid being divided longitudina 1y into two portions, said portions hinged together and each provided 1 the forward end of said hood, a floor ex-
