Appl. No.:

5/757727

Inventors:

Kenneth J. Kolinger - Riverside IL
Norman E. Williams - Park Ridge IL
Donald M. Earley - Glen Ellyn IL
William R. Golden - Bloomingdale IL

Assignee:

International Harvester Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F28F 1900

US Classification:

165119

Abstract:

Shroud, associated with a type of automotive fan and a vehicle radiator core, supports in a position between the fan and core an interposed debris screen which is slidable in guides in the shroud so as to be readily removable transversely out of the hood of an automotive vehicle for cleaning of the screen. Air enters the fan shroud under pressure by being blown in through fan opening means defined by the shroud at one end, and leaves under pressure in a path through radiator attachment means carried by the shroud at the other, or discharge, end. Intermediate the ends of the shroud, the debris screen is interposed with its plane between the respective planes of the opening means and attachment means, so as to screen all air being forced under pressure in the path therethrough.

Abstract:

Shroud, associated with a type of automotive fan and a vehicle radiator core, supports in a position between the fan and core an interposed debris screen which is slidable in guides in the shroud so as to be readily removable transversely out of the hood of an automotive vehicle for cleaning of the screen. Doing the job of cleaning a removed screen is more simplified as a task than, and eliminates the task of, cleaning debris from a radiator core in situ.
