' To all whom it may concern:

1 3e itknown thatLT-IEnRY-T; SMITH, a citizen of the United states, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and casing andradiating element as one unit;

sometimes this has been varied by making the casing or radiating element, or both in sections, to facilitate assembling and repair when it is necesclean the radiator it must v be removed from thevehicle as one heavy unit, which is diflicult to handle and imposenables the radiating element cleaned or repaired and put f struction of radiator is water chamber 10 and a sible to clean out thoroughly.

The object ofthe present invention is to provide a unitary radiating element, of any preferred type, whichmay be readily in-. serted and removed from the casing as a unit, without disturbing the casing. This to be easily back in the casing, or a new radiating element to be substituted. 7 Another advantage of my improved conthat it enables radiating elements of different types of construction and suitable for motors of different horse-power, to be built up as units and kept in stock ready to be fitted into the casings of vehicles constructedaccording to the same system.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is. a front elevation of a radiator constructed in accordance with this invention; Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same; Fig. 3 is a front'elevation of a modified form of radiator; and Fig. 4 is a central vertical section through the same.

As'shown in these views, the casing is a unitary structure comprising an upper lower water chamber 11, connected by side walls 9.- Chamber 10 has the usual inlet 8 and chamber 11 the outlet 7 for the circulating water. Thesewalls define the opening for the radiating element and, in the form of Figs. 1 and '2, the front edge of this opening has secured to it a flange 12, the projecting edge 13 of which is curved upwardly while the rear edge of said opening has a flange Application filed retfaafy'1a1914.

14Fsecuredto it, the re'arwardly projecting edge "15 offwhich'isscurved inwardly as shown so that theo'p'ening in the back of the caslng is made smaller than the opening in the front. The grooves of "these flanges receiv'e binding wires 16 and 18, hereinafter further described.

The radiating element consists of a honey- 2' comb of tubes 17, which may be of any shape and of any suitable type of construction, built up into a unitary structure of a shape to fit-the opening in the casing, and surrounded atits front end by a flange 19,

' which is curved to conform to the inside of the flange 12, 13. The rear edge of the radiatingelement has secured to it a flange 20, which is reversely curved to conform to the flange 14, 15, but does not extend as far at J its free edge as the edge 15 of the flange 14,

so that it can be inserted within said flange 14, 15. I Preferably packing 21 isplaced between the flanges of the casing and radiating element. After the two parts are thus assembled, clamping rings 16 and 18, provided with turn buckles 22 and 23, are the grooves of the flanges of the casing and said rings are then contracted by means of the turn buckles and thus clamp the respective casing flanges firmly against the flanges of the radiating element, thus making a water-tight joint. v In the form of radiator shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the principle is exactly the same, but other means'for securing the two parts together is illustrated, byway of example. Here the radiating element has secured to its front edge an angular flange 28, which is bolted tothe casing, when the parts are assembled, by the bolts 32, packing being inserted if desired. The edge of the openingin the casing may is notshown. v

The rear edge of the radiating element 27 has secured to it, a flange 29, from which project stud-bolts 30, and the opening in the casing an angular flange 26, receive said bolts, the nuts has secured to it of which clamp tion what particular means are used forv securing the two unitary parts to ether, and I do not desire to be limited to those means shown, nor, as stated, does my invention depend upon the use of any particular type of radiating surface, the invention, as I regard be reinforced, butthis the rear edge of V provided with holes to l 1 it, consisting in the provision of two il nitai'y '7 V Iner,;c111Ved spring flanges on hbth theeas-m parts, the casing and'the-radiator proper,
