Abstract
Abstract A radiator apparatus in a motorized two-wheeled vehicle in which a radiator for cooling an internal combustion engine is mounted between left and right tubular elements of the vehicle body. Left and right air guide plates are mounted on the radiator and project obliquely forwards at both outside edges of the radiator to cover the front surfaces of the tubular elements to direct air to the radiator while preventing turbulence at the tubular elements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A motorized two-wheel vehicle comprising a vehicle body with spaced left and right front frame elements, upper and lower cross pipes between said frame elements defining a rectangular aperture, a radiator mounted in said aperture between said frame elements and said cross pipes, said radiator having upper and lower surfaces and side surfaces, left and right air guide plates mounted on the side surfaces of said radiator and being coextensive in height therewith, said guide plates projecting obliquely forwardly and outwards said radiator to cover the left and right front frame elements at the front surfaces thereof to direct air flow to said radiator while preventing generation of turbulence at said frame elements, and means on the upper and lower surfaces of said radiator directly securing said radiator to said cross pipes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
