RADIATOR FOR AUTOMOBILES.

Application filed. April 2,

'1 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FEED T. Soon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Vernon, in the county of Posey and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Radiators for Automobiles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to radiators for motor vehicles of all kinds employing water as a cooling medium for the motor, and has for its object the provision of a novel form of radiator in which the water will be very quickly and effectively cooled and in which the circulation will be continuous and automatic.

An important object is the provision of a radiator which will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly efficient in use,

durable in service, and a general improvement in the art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a radiator constructed in accordance with my invention,

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view therethrough,

Figure 3 is a horizontal cross sectional view taken above the partition plate,

Figure 4 is a cross sectional view on the line l4 of Figure 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral designates a shell which is of substantially rectangular shape with rounded corners. This shell includes the top 11, bottom 12, sides 13, and front and back plates 14 and 15. Secured to the sides 13 are the usual attaching brackets 16 by means of which the radiator is secured to the frame of the vehicle upon which it is to be used.

The top 11 is provided with the usual filling neck 17 carrying a cap 18. The bottom 12 is provided with the usual drain pipe 19 having a draw-off cock therein.

Extending across the upper portion of the casing or shell at a pointspaced somewhat below the top 11, is a partition plate 20 which defines a water compartment 21. Extending from the back plate and communicating with the compartment 21 is a pipe member 22 by means of which connection is made to the water outlet hose of the motor. Secured Specification of Letters Patent.

1920, Serial No. 370,799.

transversely of the shell at a point spaced above the bottom 12 is a tube plate 24L which defines a water compartment 25 and extending from the back plate 15 and communicating with this compartment 25 is a pipe member 26 by means of which connection is made to the water inlet of the motor.

Extendin vertically between the partition plate anc tube plate 2 1 is a plurality of vertically extending tubes 27 which are located at the center and disposed at the sides of these tubes are other tubes 28 and all these tubes establish communication between the compartments 21 and 25. Disposed within the shell at both sides of the center thereof are curved tubes 29 which have their lower ends extending through the tube 2d and communicating with the compartment and which have their upper ends leading into the central tubes 27.

In order to permit the passage of air through the shell, the front and back plates '14 and 15 thereof are provided with openings 30 which permit the air to come in con tact with all the tubes for the purpose of cooling the water therein.

In the use of the radiator it will be seen that the hot water passing from the engine through the pipe 22 into the compartment 21 will pass through the tubes 28 into the compartment 25. The water in the compartment 21 will also pass through the tubes 29 into the tubes 27 and into the compartment 25. It is of course apparent that the water passes from the compartment 25 through the pipe 26 into the engine.

From the foregoing description and a study of the drawings it will'be apparent that I have thus provided a simple and efii cient radiator for automobiles which will effectually cool the water in the circulatory system.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my-invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, construction, and arrangement of parts as will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

A radiator comprising a shell having its front and rear walls perforated, .a transverse partition plate within the upper portion of said shell defining an upper water compartmcnt a transverse tube plate within the line of the shell; and a plurality of curved, lower portion of the shell defining a lower tubes communicating at their lower ends water compartment, pipe members extending with the lower compartment and communi- 10 from said compartments for connection with eating at their upper ends with said first a motor, a plurality of vertical tubes eXt-endnamed tubes.
