Abstract
A radiator core has header plates provided with resilient grommets grooved to receive the edges of the header plates. Circular tubes extend between the header plates and pass through central bores in the grommets which press inwardly thereon. Fins extend transversely to the tubes which extend through collars in the fins.
Claims6
Radiator core comprising:
- upper and lower generally flat, separate header plates of at least substantially 0.125" extending transversely of said core,
- aligned stamped apertures in said upper and lower header plates forming edges on said header plates facing said apertures which are substantially perpendicular to said transverse direction,
- individual of resilient material in said apertures,
- said grommets having a central bore,
- side walls of said grommets defining a groove radially outwardly facing from said bore,
- said groove having a bottom designed to be biassed inwardly by the header plate material defining said aperture,
- substantially circular metal tubes received in said grommets extending between aligned apertures,
- said tubes projecting through said grommet bores,
- said grommets being dimensioned to press inwardly on said tubes,
- fins located on a plurality of tubes and extending transversely,
- said fins defining apertures for said tubes,
- said fin being integrally provided with collars surrounding said apertures,
- said tubes extending through said collars in full thermal conducting contact therewith.
