rals'om ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 29, 1931 UNITED STATES ROBERT E. MORRISON, OF TENNESSEE.

CONDENSER 7 Application filed May 31, 1930. Serial N0. 458,218.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in condensers of a type primarily designed for application upon the radiators of motor vehicles and the like for condensing vapor of anti-freeze solutions and the like and to return same in condensed form to the radiator.

One of the principal objects of the invention consists of a receptacle for this purpose 10 preferably located upon the filling neck of a radiator. r

Another object of the invention consists of cooling fiues for the receptacle permitting the passage of air through the bores thereof to chill ofl and condense the vapor collecting therein.

More specifically stated the housing is provided with means for the ingress and egress of air commensurate with the rise and fall of the head of liquid within the vehicle radi- V ator and to also serve as an overflow pipe when the cooling system-has become excessively heated.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the present invention partly broken away to illustrate the construction and relative arrangement of the various elements composing same.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the invention as applied for use. I 1

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 4 indicates a housingor receptacle ofany desired shape and size and which in this instance is of elongated formation and of cross section oval shape for reasons to be better understood in thefollowing description of the invention.

A form of closure cap'll, carried upon the under side of the housing 10 and having communication with the interior of the latter through an opening 12 in the top thereof and a registering opening 13in the receptacle,

is to be secured in the usual manner upon the filling neck of a motor vehicle radiator. Spaced tubular forms of fines, such as indicated at 14, projected in parallelism through the housing or receptacle and secured at their ends with the adjacent walls of the receptacle, permit the passage and circulation of air therethrough. It is to be noted that in the application of the invention thevusu'al overflow pipe, not shown, for the motor vehicle radiator is closed at its uppermost end whereby the liquid contents of the radiator, steam or vapor rising above such level will not pass through the overflow pipe but will be allowed to pass within the receptacle .through the registering openings 12 and 13. A brace arm 15 has connection'at its ends with the closure cap 11 and theihousing in the manner suggested whereby the latter will be held against vibrating. Inasmuch as the area within the housing or receptacle is largely displaced by the flues 1 1, it is necessary that some form of overflow pipe should be provided which will also permit ingress and egress of air pursuant to the fluctuating level of the liquid solution in the vehicle radiator. This overflow pipe, indicated as at 16, is projected upwardly within the bottom wall of the receptacle or housing, having its uppermost end spaced from the top wall of the receptacle and its lowermost end depending for an appreciable distance below the bottom wall of said receptacle.

The particular disposition of the lowermost end of the overflow pipe 16 will allow the emitted liquid to descend in advance of the vehicle radiator rather than trickle upon the under surface of the receptacle, and find its way toward the radiator cap and radiator as well as to subject its being blown against the windshield of the vehicle.

The invention is susceptible of various changes inits form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is: p

A condenser for motor vehicle radiators comprising a receptacle having spaced flues extended Wholly therethrough, the latter being open at their ends to permit ingress and circulation of air therethrough, a closure cap carried by the receptacle having communication With the interior thereof, and an overflow pipe for the receptacle projecting through the bottom Wall thereof and spaced at its inner end from the upper Wall of the receptacle.

In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.

ROBERT E. MORRISON.
