Application and September 16, 1925.
My present invention relates to plugs, caps or the like for automobile radiators and the like, and aims to devise means of the general character specified which are-simple in con struction, easy and ronvenient to fabricate, and which arevery convenient in use. Other advantages of the present invention will in part be pointed out hereinafter and will in part be obvious to those skilled in theart to which the present invention relates.
In the accompanyingspecification I shall describe, and in the annexed drawing show'an illustrative. embodiment of the present invention. It is, however, to be clearly understood that my invention is not limited to the specific embodiment-thereof herein shown: and described for purposes of illustration only.
Referring to the annexed drawing, wherein I have illustrated the aforesaidillustrative embodiment of the resent invention:
{Fig 1 is stop p an view of the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the persent inven tion; V
Fig. '2 is a side elevation view of the same; and
Fig. 3 is a view said embodiment.
Referring now to I e aforesaid illustrativeembodiment of the; present invention, and
I more particularly to the drawing illustrating the same, the devices of the present invention \\'hich,-i't will be understood, are in the form in longitudinal section of of tools, are preferablymade of a resilientand compressible and expansihle material. For this purpose I prefer-t0 employ soft vulcanized rubber, since I have found that this matcrial is very suitable for the intended pur- )ose. 1 Referring to, the drawin 10 indicates the main body portion of the p ug, cap or the like for automobile radiators or the like made ,in accordancewith the principles of the present invention and whichisapplied to the radiator inlet and outlet while the same is being tested under water. which obviously necessitates an airtight joint. The main body portion 10 is hollow, being provided with the recess or ca vity IL The main body portion 10 is likewise tapered, as indicated by reference character 12, and is provided with the bottom portion 13, all as more clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing.
Just as the outer surface 14 of the main tapered, as indiated at 12,

sothat the thickness of the main body portion; '10 d minishes more or loss conliuuouslv froth 1. the upper edge 16 to the bottom surface 17..,
