Abstract
A radiator tank for a radiator including a first sidewall having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a center portion between the first end portion and the second end portion. The center portion is recessed inward relative to the first end portion and the second end portion towards an inner volume defined by the radiator tank.
Claims15
A radiator tank for a radiator comprising:
- a first sidewall including a first end portion, a second end portion, and a center portion between the first end portion and the second end portion, the center portion is recessed inward relative to the first end portion and the second end portion towards an inner volume defined by the radiator tank;
- wherein the center portion includes a center surface having:
- an upper curved portion that curves downward from an upper surface of the radiator tank;
- a center portion that extends from the upper curved portion and slopes outward, away from an inner volume defined by the radiator tank;
- an intermediate curved portion that curves outward from the inner volume as the intermediate curved portion extends from the center portion;
- and
- a lower curved portion that curves downward towards a flange of the sidewall as the lower curved portion extends from the intermediate curved portion.

A radiator tank for a radiator comprising:
- a port;
- a sidewall including a first side portion, a second side portion, and a center portion between the first side portion and the second side portion, the center portion is opposite to the port and is recessed inward, relative to the first side portion and the second side portion, towards the port;
- and
- a pair of flanges configured to be received by a radiator core plate, one of the pair of flanges extending along a length of the sidewall;
- wherein the center portion of the sidewall further includes:
- a first sloped surface that slopes from the first side portion inward towards an inner volume defined by the radiator tank;
- a second sloped surface that slopes from the second side portion inward towards the inner volume defined by the radiator tank;
- and
- a center surface between the first sloped surface and the second sloped surface, the center surface is generally planar, the first sloped surface slopes inward to the center surface, and the second sloped surface slopes inward to the center surface;
- wherein the center surface includes:
- an upper curved portion that curves downward from an upper surface of the radiator tank;
- a center portion that extends from the upper curved portion and slopes outward, away from an inner volume defined by the radiator tank;
- an intermediate curved portion that curves outward from the inner volume as the intermediate curved portion extends from the center portion;
- and
- a lower curved portion that curves downward towards the one of the pair of flanges of the sidewall as the lower curved portion extends from the intermediate curved portion.
