Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sheet metal repair jig for repairing dents or distortions generated in a curved surface or in a peripheral surface of a sheet metal used for vehicles or the like.
- a dent or distortion In repairing dents or distortions in a sheet metal of, for example, an automotive body which were caused by contact, crash, etc., first, the location of a dent or distortion is identified, accessories of a panel requiring repairs are detached, and coating applied to the identified location of the dent or distortion is removed. Next, with a puller or the like, the sheet metal having the dent or distortion is roughly flattened out by pulling, hammering, welding, etc. Then, the dent or distortion is heated and cooled repeatedly so as to utilize expansion due to heating and contraction due to cooling.
- This sheet metal repair jig includes: a roller serving as a heating means; a roller shaft for pivotably supporting the roller; and a U-shaped holding frame serving as a bearing for the roller shaft.
- high tensile strength steel sheets or the like used for recent automotive bodies are weak against heat, and thus needs to be expanded by being heated at a low temperature. It is important that the steel plate is cooled immediately after heating in order to avoid an excessive temperature rise.
- the temperature of the heated part may become higher than the control temperature of the heating means, depending on the degree of contact between the heated part of the sheet metal and the roller.
- the present invention proposes to solve the aforementioned problem of the conventional art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet metal repair jig that can smoothly heat and cool a part of a sheet metal to be repaired to enhance precision of repair and to reduce the operator's workload.
- a sheet metal repair jig for smoothening a sheet metal by heating and cooling a part of the sheet metal to be repaired includes:
- At least one roller having a cylindrical shape, the roller being made of an electrically-conductive material and serving as a heating means;
- roller support shaft supporting the roller pivotably about an axis of rotation of the cylindrical shape
- a cooling channel serving as an air channel for discharging cooling air to a contact surface between the part of the sheet metal to be repaired and the roller
- cooling channel is formed inside the roller support shaft and has a discharge port that discharges the cooling air to the contact area between the part of the sheet metal to be repaired and the roller.
- cooling air is discharged to an area in the vicinity of the roller of the sheet metal repair jig that is in contact with a part to be repaired. Therefore, it is possible to cool the sheet metal immediately after heating with the roller. Also, using this roller for heating allows not only a drawing process but also smoothing of a surface to be repaired with the roller, enabling a more precise repair.
- the sheet metal Since a sheet metal used for automotive bodies or the like is formed into a curved surface or the like, a residual internal stress exists. In this case, after the heating, if the heated sheet metal is subject to natural heat radiation or is left to let cool, the shape etc. of the curved surface of the sheet metal is distorted. Therefore, the sheet metal needs to be cooled immediately after heating. In this respect, in the present aspect, the sheet metal can be cooled immediately after heating, since cooling air is discharged from a discharge port through a cooling channel simultaneously with the heating by the roller.
- both heating and cooling can be performed with a single device, thereby significantly eliminating the burden on the operator.
- the temperature of the roller may increase above the control temperature due to an increase and decrease in the resistance depending on the extent of contact area or due to contact over a long period of time.
- the sheet metal can be cooled by the cooling means immediately after the roller has contacted the sheet metal, the temperature is less influenced by both the contact area or the contact time.
- the sheet metal repair jig includes a plurality of rollers arranged along the axis of rotation, and the discharge port is formed in a gap between the plurality of rollers.
- the sheet metal repair jig of the above configuration includes the plurality of rollers, and the discharge port for discharging cooling air is formed in a gap therebetween. Therefore, the cooling air can be supplied uniformly in the width direction of the contact surface between a part of the sheet metal to be repaired and the roller (in a direction of the roller shaft).
- the sheet metal repair jig includes two rollers of the same size and shape, and the discharge port is formed in a gap between the two rollers.
- the sheet metal repair jig includes two rollers, and a port for discharging cooling air is formed in a gap situated centrally between the rollers.
- a port for discharging cooling air is formed in a gap situated centrally between the rollers.

Therefore, when used for a roller, there were cases where a part of a sheet metal to be repaired could not be flattened out appropriately due to worn away unsmooth carbon. In the present embodiment, this disadvantage of carbon is eliminated by adjusting a current flowing into the roller, as well as by providing a cooling means described below and using copper or ferrite which is more wear-resistant.

Description
- This application claims the benefit of Japanese Application No. 2011-101763, filed Apr 28, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to a sheet metal repair jig for repairing dents or distortions generated in a curved surface or in a peripheral surface of a sheet metal used for vehicles or the like.
- In repairing dents or distortions in a sheet metal of, for example, an automotive body which were caused by contact, crash, etc., first, the location of a dent or distortion is identified, accessories of a panel requiring repairs are detached, and coating applied to the identified location of the dent or distortion is removed. Next, with a puller or the like, the sheet metal having the dent or distortion is roughly flattened out by pulling, hammering, welding, etc. Then, the dent or distortion is heated and cooled repeatedly so as to utilize expansion due to heating and contraction due to cooling.
- As a sheet metal repair jig for repairing dents or distortions in a sheet metal, the following art has been proposed (see JP Utility Model Appl. Publ. No. 3,154,968). This sheet metal repair jig includes: a roller serving as a heating means; a roller shaft for pivotably supporting the roller; and a U-shaped holding frame serving as a bearing for the roller shaft. By using this roller as a heat source and moving the roller at constant speed and in contact with a part to be repaired, an uneven heat distribution in the sheet metal is suppressed and repair works can be carried out without producing scratches.
- As mentioned above, works for repairing dents or distortions in a sheet metal require heating and cooling to be repeated. In this respect, in the aforementioned conventional art, the use of a roller has facilitated the heating operation itself. However, to cool a part of a sheet metal to be repaired, the operator had to put a heating roller down and then pick up a separately-prepared cooling device to perform a cooling operation. Therefore, the operator needed to use the heating device and the cooling device alternately in carrying out the repair work, which was troublesome to the operator.
- Further, high tensile strength steel sheets or the like used for recent automotive bodies are weak against heat, and thus needs to be expanded by being heated at a low temperature. It is important that the steel plate is cooled immediately after heating in order to avoid an excessive temperature rise. However, in the conventional sheet metal repair jig, since the operator each time had to alternate between the heating means and the cooling means, it was difficult to cool the sheet metal immediately after heating. Further, when there was a time lag from heating to cooling, the temperature of the heated part may become higher than the control temperature of the heating means, depending on the degree of contact between the heated part of the sheet metal and the roller.
- The present invention proposes to solve the aforementioned problem of the conventional art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet metal repair jig that can smoothly heat and cool a part of a sheet metal to be repaired to enhance precision of repair and to reduce the operator's workload.
- In order to solve the aforementioned problem, according an aspect of the invention, a sheet metal repair jig for smoothening a sheet metal by heating and cooling a part of the sheet metal to be repaired, includes:
- at least one roller having a cylindrical shape, the roller being made of an electrically-conductive material and serving as a heating means;
- a roller support shaft supporting the roller pivotably about an axis of rotation of the cylindrical shape;
- a support supporting the roller support shaft and having an electrode electrically connected to the roller; and
- a cooling channel serving as an air channel for discharging cooling air to a contact surface between the part of the sheet metal to be repaired and the roller,
- wherein the cooling channel is formed inside the roller support shaft and has a discharge port that discharges the cooling air to the contact area between the part of the sheet metal to be repaired and the roller.
- According to the above aspect, cooling air is discharged to an area in the vicinity of the roller of the sheet metal repair jig that is in contact with a part to be repaired. Therefore, it is possible to cool the sheet metal immediately after heating with the roller. Also, using this roller for heating allows not only a drawing process but also smoothing of a surface to be repaired with the roller, enabling a more precise repair.
- Since a sheet metal used for automotive bodies or the like is formed into a curved surface or the like, a residual internal stress exists. In this case, after the heating, if the heated sheet metal is subject to natural heat radiation or is left to let cool, the shape etc. of the curved surface of the sheet metal is distorted. Therefore, the sheet metal needs to be cooled immediately after heating. In this respect, in the present aspect, the sheet metal can be cooled immediately after heating, since cooling air is discharged from a discharge port through a cooling channel simultaneously with the heating by the roller.
- According to this aspect of the invention, particularly, it is possible to repair heat-sensitive materials, e.g., high tensile strength steel sheets, at a low temperature, since the steel plate can be prevented from reaching an unnecessarily high temperature even when heated by the roller.
- Conventionally, since the heating means and the cooling means were separately provided, after a part of a sheet metal to be repaired has been heated, the operator puts down a heating device used for heating and then holds a cooling device to carry out cooling. In this respect, according to the present aspect, both heating and cooling can be performed with a single device, thereby significantly eliminating the burden on the operator.
- As a device for discharging gases in the vicinity of the point of operation, such devices as those used for CO2 welding or MAG welding are typically known. However, the discharge gas of these devices serves as a shielding gas for preventing a metal melted by arc welding from being exposed to air. Accordingly, this discharge gas totally differs from the cooling air of the present invention in terms of technical idea.
- The temperature of the roller may increase above the control temperature due to an increase and decrease in the resistance depending on the extent of contact area or due to contact over a long period of time. In this respect, in the present aspect, since the sheet metal can be cooled by the cooling means immediately after the roller has contacted the sheet metal, the temperature is less influenced by both the contact area or the contact time. Thus, in sheet metal repair works in which expert skills are ultimately of importance, it is possible to provide a jig that eliminates the difference in skill between the inexperienced operator and the expert.
- Preferably, the sheet metal repair jig includes a plurality of rollers arranged along the axis of rotation, and the discharge port is formed in a gap between the plurality of rollers.
- With the sheet metal repair jig of the above configuration, the sheet metal repair jig includes the plurality of rollers, and the discharge port for discharging cooling air is formed in a gap therebetween. Therefore, the cooling air can be supplied uniformly in the width direction of the contact surface between a part of the sheet metal to be repaired and the roller (in a direction of the roller shaft).
- Preferably, the sheet metal repair jig includes two rollers of the same size and shape, and the discharge port is formed in a gap between the two rollers.
- With the sheet metal repair jig of the above configuration, the sheet metal repair jig includes two rollers, and a port for discharging cooling air is formed in a gap situated centrally between the rollers. By discharging the cooling air from the discharge port toward a contact surface between the roller and the sheet metal, the cooling air can be supplied uniformly across the entire contact surface between the roller and a part of the sheet metal to be repaired.
- According to the aforementioned present invention, it is possible to provide a sheet metal repair jig that can smoothly heat and cool a part of a sheet metal to be repaired to enhance precision of repair and to reduce the operator's workload.

- A sheet
metal repair jig 1 according to an embodiment (hereinafter the present embodiment) is a jig configured to repair a sheet metal made of, for example, a general steel plate, an aluminum sheet metal, a stainless-steel sheet metal or a high tensile strength steel sheet by smoothening a part of the sheet metal to be repaired by heating and cooling. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , the sheetmetal repair jig 1 includes: aroller 2 having a cylindrical shape and made of an electrically-conductive material; aroller support shaft 3 supporting theroller 2 pivotably about an axis of rotation of the cylinder; asupport 4 supporting theroller support shaft 3; anelectrode 5 disposed at one end of thesupport 4 and electrically connected to theroller 2; and acooling channel 6 serving as a channel for discharging cooling air to a contact surface of theroller 2. - The
roller 2 is a heating means which produces resistive heat when an electric current is passed through. Theroller 2 has a cylindrical shape and is made of an electrically-conductive material such as copper or ferrite. In the present embodiment, sheet metal repair jig includes two rollers of the same size and shape, or, theroller 2 includes two portions (rollers rollers discharge port 6 b is achieved, although it depends on a size of adischarge port 6 b to be described later. - Here, the
roller 2 is made of copper or ferrite, and not of carbon as disclosed in JP Utility Model Appl. Publ. No. 3,154,968, which is mentioned above. This is due to the following reasons. In JP Utility Model Appl. Publ. No. 3,154,968, heat generation performance is maintained without generating an arc. However, as pointed out in JP Utility Model Appl. Publ. No. 3,154,968, carbon is less wear-resistant than copper and wears down at a higher rate. Therefore, when used for a roller, there were cases where a part of a sheet metal to be repaired could not be flattened out appropriately due to worn away unsmooth carbon. In the present embodiment, this disadvantage of carbon is eliminated by adjusting a current flowing into the roller, as well as by providing a cooling means described below and using copper or ferrite which is more wear-resistant. - The
roller support shaft 3 is a rod-shaped object which pivotably supports the tworollers roller support shaft 3 has a hollow section extending from one end to an intermediate position, i.e., an almost central position in the width direction, forming acooling channel 6 to be described hereinafter. Further, thedischarge port 6 b described below is formed in a gap part between the tworollers - The
support 4 is U-shaped in a plan view and is configured to support theroller support shaft 3 at both end portions. In the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 1 , theroller support shaft 3 is internally-threaded at both end portions and is secured to thesupport 4 with nuts N such that thesupport 4 is sandwiched therebetween. It is to be noted that the method of securing thesupport shaft 3 to thesupport 4 is not limited to this securing manner, but any publicly-known various securing methods may be employed as long as theroller support shaft 3 is secured to thesupport 4. - The
electrode 5 is formed at a bottom part of the U-shape of thesupport 4 having a U-shaped configuration in a planar view and is disposed in a direction perpendicular to theroller support shaft 3. Theelectrode 5 serves as a connecting portion to be electrically connected to an external current supply unit, which is not shown. As such a current supply unit, a publicly-known device such as the one disclosed as a sheet metal repair jig body in JP Utility Model Appl. Publ. No. 3,154,968 is used. - The
roller 2, theroller support shaft 3, thesupport 4 and theelectrode 5 are each comprised of an electrically-conductive member. An electric current which is input into theelectrode 5 via the external current supply unit, which is not shown, flows into theroller 2 through thesupport 4 and theroller support shaft 3. - The cooling
channel 6 is a cooling air conveying path that is formed in a hollow in theroller support shaft 3. At one end portion of the coolingchannel 6, anair intake port 6 a for introducing air from an external blower (publicly-known), which is not shown, is provided. At the other end portion thereof, thedischarge port 6 b that discharges the introduced air is provided. Aflow channel 6 c is formed between theair intake port 6 a and thedischarge port 6 b. - The
air intake port 6 a is formed at one end portion at which thesupport 4 pivotably supports theroller support shaft 3, and when an air-blast nozzle of the blower is connected to theair intake port 6 a, theair intake port 6 a becomes a port for introducing cooling air. Thedischarge port 6 b in a gap between the tworollers 2 is formed at an axially central portion of theroller support shaft 3. - The
discharge port 6 b is formed by anozzle 6 n. With thisnozzle 6 n, a discharge direction of thedischarge port 6 b is directed towards a direction of a contact surface in which theroller 2 contacts the sheet metal, i.e., a direction perpendicular to a direction of a plane in the plan view ofFIG. 2 . A setting angle of the discharge direction is determined based on the reason described below. When using the sheetmetal repair jig 1 in repair work, a connecting portion of a current supply unit, which is not shown, is connected to theelectrode 5. The connecting portion of the current supply unit is exteriorly provided with a handle made of an insulating material. The operator grips the handle and moves the repair jig with the U-shaped plane surface of thesupport 4 being substantially aligned with the plane surface of the sheet metal (seeFIG. 3 ). Therefore, with a discharge port being provided in a direction of the U-shaped planar surface of thesupport 4, thedischarge port 6 b can supply cooling air in the vicinity of the contact surfaces between the tworollers discharge port 6 b set by thenozzle 6 n is directed toward the contact surface between theroller 2 and the sheet metal. However, the direction of thedischarge port 6 b can be varied appropriately, depending on an angular relationship between theelectrode 5 or the operator handle and a surface of the sheet metal to be repaired. Preferably, the direction of thedischarge port 6 b is set in a direction in which cooling air directly hits a surface of the sheet metal to be repaired. - In the present embodiment, any type of gas, e.g., air and nitrogen, as well as carbonic acid gas (CO2), can be used as air to be discharged from the
discharge port 6 b, as long as a part of the sheet metal to be repaired can be cooled. - The sheet
metal repair jig 1 of the present embodiment constituted in the foregoing manner operates in the following manner. First, theelectrode 5 of the sheetmetal repair jig 1 is connected to an external current supply unit (publicly-known device is used), which is not shown. In turn, an air-blast nozzle of a blower (publicly-known), which is not shown, is connected to theair intake port 6 a provided at one end of theroller support shaft 3 so as to define an air flow path of cooling air. - Next, the operator grips the handle provided at the connecting portion of the external current supply unit connected to the
electrode 5 and starts operation. At this time, the current value of the external current supply unit is controlled to control the temperature at which the sheetmetal repair jig 1 contacts the sheet metal. - Then, while gripping the handle, the operator makes the
roller 2 contact a part of the sheet metal to be repaired and rolls theroller 2 with respect to the surface to be repaired. At this time, a predetermined electricity flows into theroller 2 from the external current supply unit via theelectrode 5, thesupport 4 and theroller support shaft 3 and a resistive heat is produced in the contact surface between theroller 2 and the sheet metal, and thereby a part of the sheet metal to be repaired is heated. Simultaneously, cooling air is supplied from the external blower. The cooling air passes through theair intake port 6 a and thecooling channel 6 and is discharged from thedischarge port 6 b. - Here, as shown in a schematic side view of
FIG. 3 , when the sheetmetal repair jig 1 is in use, the nozzle provided on thedischarge port 6 b of the coolingchannel 6 is provided so as to be almost opposite a surface of the sheet metal to be repaired A. Therefore, cooling air to be discharged from the nozzle is discharged from a region between the tworollers rollers - In the sheet
metal repair jig 1 of the present embodiment described above, since the cooling air is discharged to an area in the vicinity of theroller 2 which is in contact with a part to be repaired, the heated part can be immediately cooled after the heating with theroller 2. Also, with the heating by such a roller, smoothing of the surface to be repaired with the roller as well as a drawing process is possible and a more precise repair is enabled. - Since a sheet metal used for automotive bodies or the like is formed into a curved surface or the like, a residual internal stress exists. In this case, after the heating, if the heated sheet metal is subjected to natural heat radiation or is left to let cool, the shape of the curved surface etc. of the sheet metal is distorted due to the residual stress. Therefore, the sheet metal needs to be cooled immediately after heating. In this respect, with the sheet
metal repair jig 1 of the present embodiment, the sheet metal can be cooled immediately after heating, since cooling air is discharged from thedischarge port 6 b through the coolingchannel 6 simultaneously with the heating by theroller 2. Particularly, it is possible to repair heat-sensitive materials, e.g., high tensile strength steel sheets, at a low temperature since the steel sheet can be prevented from reaching an unnecessarily high temperature by being heated with theroller 2. - Conventionally, since the heating means and the cooling means were separately provided, after a part of a sheet metal to be repaired has been heated, the operator puts down the sheet
metal repair jig 1 used for the heating and then holds a cooling device to carry out cooling. In this respect, with the sheetmetal repair jig 1 according to the present embodiment, both heating and cooling can be performed with a single device, thereby significantly eliminating the burden on the operator. - As a device for discharging gases in the vicinity of the point of operation, such devices as those used for CO2 welding or MAG welding are typically known. However, the discharge gas of these devices serves as a shielding gas for preventing a metal melted by arc welding from being exposed to air. Accordingly, this discharge gas totally differs from the cooling air of the sheet metal repair jig according to the present invention in terms of the technical idea.
- The temperature of the
roller 2 may increase above the control temperature due to an increase or decrease in the resistance depending on the extent of contact area, or due to contact over a long period of time. In this respect, with the sheetmetal repair jig 1 of the present embodiment, since the sheet metal can be immediately cooled by the cooling means after the roller has contacted the sheet metal, the temperature is less influenced by the contact area or the contact time. Thus, in sheet metal repair works in which expert skills are ultimately of importance, it is possible to provide a jig that eliminates the difference in skill between the inexperienced operator and the expert. - Also, a plurality of
rollers 2 are arranged along the axis of rotation, or, theroller 2 is divided into portions (in this case, into two), and thedischarge port 6 b for discharging cooling air is formed in a gap therebetween. Therefore, as shown inFIG. 3 , the cooling air can be supplied uniformly in the width direction of the contact surface between a part of the sheet metal to be repaired and the roller (in direction of the roller shaft). Particularly, in the present embodiment, two rollers are arranged along the axis of rotation, or, the roller is divided into two sections, and a port for discharging cooling air is formed in a gap situated centrally between the rollers. By discharging the cooling air from the discharge port formed opposite the contact surface between the roller and the sheet metal, the cooling air can be supplied uniformly across the entire contact surface between the roller and a part of the sheet metal to be repaired. - The present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiment but may include the embodiment described below. Specifically, although in the present embodiment, two
rollers 2 are arranged along the axis of rotation, or, theroller 2 is divided into two sections, and thedischarge port 6 b is formed in thesupport shaft 3 centrally between the two rollers, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and three or four, or more rollers may be provided, or, the roller may be divided into three or four, or more sections. - For example, like a sheet
metal repair jig 10 shown inFIG. 4 , threerollers 20 are arranged along the axis of rotation, or, theroller 20 is divided into three, and twoair intake ports 60 a are provided at both ends of therollers 20 so that thedischarge ports 60 b are formed in the two gaps between therollers 20. In this embodiment, as shown inFIG. 4 , the constitution can be employed as follows.Flow channels 60 c are formed by the hollow sections of aroller support shaft 30, theflow channels 60 c extending from both ends of theroller support shaft 30, respectively, to thefirst discharge ports 60 b situated in the one-third positions in the width direction so that two coolingchannels 60 beginning from both ends are formed, and twodischarge ports 60 b are formed accordingly. Also, as a variant, although not shown, another constitution may be employed wherein a hollow section is formed to extend from one end of the roller support shaft to the two-thirds position in the width direction so that a flow channel is provided, and discharge ports are provided in the middle and end portions. - In this embodiment, the discharge direction of the
nozzle 6 n comprised of thedischarge port 6 b is directed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the plane in the plan view ofFIG. 2 . However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but for example, the discharge direction of thenozzle 6 n can be directed in the same direction as the axis of theelectrode 5, i.e., in a directly downward direction in a perspective view ofFIG. 1 or in a schematic view ofFIG. 3 . Alternatively, the discharge direction of thenozzle 6 b may be directed in an oblique direction, which is an intermediate direction between the direction perpendicular to the direction of the plane of the plan view ofFIG. 2 and a direction which is the same as the direction of the axis of theelectrode 5. In other words, depending on the angle at which theroller 2 contacts a part of the sheet metal to be repaired, the discharge direction of thenozzle 6 n is preferably directed in the same direction as the direction in which the roller contacts the sheet metal. It is also possible to employ another constitution wherein, for example, thenozzle 6 n is pivotably attached to thesupport shaft 3 so that the discharge direction of thedischarge port 6 b for cooling air with thenozzle 6 n is variable. - As a variant of the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 , in addition to the embodiment in which cooling air is introduced from the end portion of thesupport shaft 3, an embodiment shown inFIG. 5 is possible.FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view of a sheetmetal repair jig 20 according to the variant. InFIG. 5 , for the sake of convenience of explanation, thesupport 4 is cut out above theroller 2 and illustrated in cross section. - As with the sheet
metal repair jig 20 shown inFIG. 5 , another constitution may be employed wherein a coolingchannel 61 is formed perpendicular to thesupport shaft 3 in a gap between therollers channel 61. In order to supply air, a hose (shown by a phantom line in the drawing) extending from an external blower, which is not shown, is attached to the air intake port 61 a of the coolingchannel 61. Also, in this case, adischarge port 61 b is formed on the straight line of the introduction path of the coolingchannel 61. The manner of using the sheetmetal repair jig 20 is the same as the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 . - Also, in this embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 5 , it is also conceivable to provide a constitution in which, in a portion of thesupport shaft 3 covered with theroller 2, the coolingchannel 61 situated centrally between therollers support shaft 3 and penetrate into end portion positions of thesupport shaft 3, and the ventilation holes 61 d which communicate the coolingchannel 61 inside thesupport shaft 3 with therollers rollers - In this way, by providing the ventilation holes 61 d in a portion of the
support shaft 3 covered with therollers support shaft 3 and the backside of therollers FIG. 5 . This enables therollers rollers - The
ventilation hole 61 d may be of a circular or rectangular shape. Also, theventilation hole 61 d may be a single hole or a plurality of holes provided in each roller. Further, inFIG. 5 , from a design point of view, the coolingchannel 61 penetrates through thesupport shaft 3, and both ends are closed with the nuts N with caps. However, there are no functional problems as long as both end portions of the coolingchannel 61 extend from the central portion in which the air intake port 61 a and thedischarge port 61 b are formed to the positions of both ventilation holes 61 d.
