F. C. BURT RADIATOR SOLDERING DEVICE Original Filed Dec. 16 1921 v INVENTOR WITNESS ATTORNEY rataea new. it, read.

rrime c. BURT, or new HUD/SON, MICHIGAN.-

To all whom it may concern. N Be it known that'I. FRED C. BURT, a citizen of th United States, residing at New Hudson, in the county of Oakland and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Radiator-Soldering Devices, of which the following is a specification.

i and also to This invention relates to a device for soldering leaky automobile radiators and has for its object the provision of a novel device An important-object is the provision of a device of this character in which the heat conducting pipe which leads the heat to the radiator has associated therewith a gasoline through which soldering acid dill ' more fully described and till fld or other blow torch, this pipe member being furthermore provided with a drain hole poured onto theradiator may drain out.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly eflicient in use, rapid in action, durable in service and ageneral improvement in the art.

With the above and other objects and ad vantages in. view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter claim'ed,.and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which, I

Figure 1 shows a plan view of the device. Figure 2 shows a side'elevation with parts broken away and in section.

Referring more particularly to the drawings l have shown my device as comprising a' preferably rectangular supporting base 10 upon which the Y radiator to be repaired should be laid, and the numeral 11 designates a plurality of at the corners of the base 10. As here shown the legs 11- may be rods or bars and the upper ends thereof are reduced and passed through holes 12 in the corners of the base 10. The base 10 may also be provided with a transverse reinforcement13 if found advisable though it should be understood that this base might be constructed as a grille or grid base ready) i the leak.

be formed-as a solid plate base 10 very close thereto and which has one o end extended upwardly as indicated at 15 and extending through a hole in the base 10. The other end of this pipe 1 1 projects beyond the opposite side of the base 10 and located and suitably supported with respect thereto is a bracket 16 upon which is mounted a suitable heat device, which in the present instance is illustrated as being a gasoline blow torch 17 of any ordinary or preferred 7 i type. This torch is preferably so arranged that its jet 'or burner end will project somewhat into the pipe 14 as clearly disclosed;

vThe pipe 14: is also provided adjacent the upturned end 15 with a drain hole 18 for a v purpose to be described.

The operation of the device is as follows; The radiator to be repaired is laid face down or flat upon base 10 with the leak disposed immediately above the upper end of the upturned end 15 of the pipe. The torch 17 is then set in operation and the heat emanating therefrom will pass through the pipe 14 and. will pass out through the upturned end 15 thereof and efiectually heat the radiator 35 at and. around the leak therein.- The heat is thus applied until dirt'and incrustations u on the radiator tubes are burnt away w ereupon soldering acid is poured onto the leaky portion in order to for the application of the solder which sequently placed umn the radiator at lus soldering acid which the radiator will drop is su runs down throng into the pipe 14 and .will pass out through which is melted.

From the foregoing description and a the drain hole 18 as will the surplus solder study of the drawings it will be apparent that I have thus provided a simply con; 10o structe'd and consequently inexpensive device by means of which leaky radiators may be quickly and easily repaired, the device having the great advantage of furnishing the necessary heat to effect the action without endangering burning of the tin, it being Well known that the radiators will not stand the dlame directly. W ile l[ have shown preferred embodiment of.

and described the-- upon this second mentioned side of the at clean. the parts 00 the invention, it is no 4 1. A device of the character described eoniprising a supporting base, a heat conducting pipe arranged horizontally ,and located beneath the base with one end constricted, upturned and passing through the base, a

. bracket located at one side of the base and carried thereby adapted to support a blow torch with the nozzle thereof extending into the other end of said pipe whereby to create a blast therein. i

2. A device of the character described comprising a base supported upon a plurality of legs, a heat conducting pipe located beneath the base and having one end upturned and extending therethrough, and means for producing a blast at the other end of said pipe, said means comprising a bracket member supported with respect to the base, and a blow torch mounted upon the bracket and having its burner end extending into the outer end of-said pipe.

3. A heating and soldering device com prising a work supporting framefreely exposed throughout its upper surface, a. blast conducting pipe disposed below the frame whereby not to obstructthe space above the said. frame, and a source of heat for heating the blast .throu'gh the pipe, said pipe being positioned to confine the heated blast to a restricted region adjacent the work supporting frame and to direct the same upwardly therethrough. I

4..A heating and soldering device comprisin a combined heat conducting and drainage tube unobstructed throughout its extent by the Workbeing operated upon, a source of heat for producing heat within the tube disposed at one end thereof, said'tube being providedwith a drain opening at its lower side intermediate its ends.

5. A heating and soldering device comprising a combined heat conducting and drainage tube unobstructed throughout its extent by the work being operated upon and open at both ends, means for directing a heated blast in'to'one end of the tube for producing at within the tube, said tube being pro'vi ed with a drain opening at its lower side intermediate its ends.

- 6. A heatingand soldering device comprising a combined heat conducting and drain age tube unobstructed throughout its extent by the work being operated upon and open at both ends, means for directing a heated blast into pne end of thetube for producing heat within the tube, the extremity of the tube opposite the source of heat being bent upwardly. and the said tube being provided with a drain opening at its lower side intermediate its ends.

7. A heating and soldering device comprising a supporting stand freely exposed throughout its upper surface, a heat conduct ing tube having one end directed upwardly through the stand, and means for producing a heated blast through the tube.

8. The combination of a supporting frame, a heat conducting pipe disposed beneath the frame extending transversely thereto and having one end directed upwardly through the frame, and a bracket carried by said frame adapted to support and position a hot blast producing means adjacent the opposite end of the pipe.

9. The combination of a frame provided with a plurality of supporting legs, an openended heat conducting pipe disposed beneath theframe extending transversely thereto and Eving its free end upturned and directed upwardly through the frame, a bracket supported in fixed relation to the frame, and a blow torch carried bythe said bracket, the burner portion of thetorch being disposed in longitudinal alignment with the opposite end of the said pipe.

10. A heating and soldering device comprising a stand provided with a frame and 11. The combination of a supporting frame, a heat conducting pipe disposed beneath the frame extending transversely thereto and having one end constricted and' directed upwardly through the frame, supporting means positioned relatively to the pipe and a source of heat carried by the said means for producing heat within the pipe.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
