RADIATOR.

Application led'April 14, 1914.l Serial No. 831,853.

To all whom it may concern vcent tubes arev reversely arranged With re- I Be it known that I, JAMES R. VHITE, a` .Aspect to their sinuous disposition :and the citizen of the United States, residing at Schenectady, in the county of Schenectady and State of New York, have invented new 'and useful Improvements in Radiators, of

which the following is a specification.

The invention ,relates to radiators designed for use in connection with automobiles or the like, and is particularly directed toa structure in which the parts are so arranged as to force circulation of air around the tubes, while at the same time permitting convenient and easy repair.

The main object of the present invention is the provision of a radiator in which tubes are made up of solder sections, each tube being of sinuous formation longitudinally .and adjacent the tubes disposed relativelyl offset so as to provide an air passage to force the maximum quantity of air to and aroundV the tubes.

The invention in the preferred form of details will be described in the following-specication, reference being had particularly toA the accompanying drawings, in Which Figure l is a front elevation of the improved radiator. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the tubes. Fignat is a transverse section of the same.

The improved radiator as shown in the accompanying drawings, comprises a casing l having a central opening space 2 above 4and below which are arranged water chambers 3 and 4c. These chambers are provided with suitable inlets and outlets 5 and 6.

The tubes 7 are constructed of sections 8 and 9, which aresoldered together to form a rectangular tube, each tube throughout its length being of sinuous formation with the respective portions thereof angularly related. This disposition of the tubes provides air space between the same. The adj a-' crossing or meeting portions are solderedtogether to insure a comparatively rigid structure. A

The ends of the tubes connect with the' respective water chambers so as' to provide ent that the sinuously' formed tube willcontain more water than the usual straight tube and hence by reason of the greater surface presented to the air will result in the greater cooling of the water in the same time. Furthermore, any one. or more tubes may be easily removed when repair is necessary, or when 1t is desired to replace the tube byxa new one, by removing the radiator or correct y a leak without interferingwith any other connections.

What is claimed is :-r

In combination a radiator, a series of sinueus tubes havingjtheir opposite ends secured at the opposite sldes of .theradiaton each of said sinuous tubes being composed of a series of similarly sized and similarlyshaped sections, each section consisting substantially of an oblong body hollowed out and formed with anopposite end Vwith edges beveled in the same direction.

In testimony whereofl aiiix my signature l in presence of two witnesses.
