Abstract
Abstract A heat exchanger and method of making same, wherein elongated passageways are formed in unbonded portions of a blank made of bonded sheet material, and integral fins are formed on the sheet material with the fins having elongated base portions extending transversely to the length of said passageways. In certain embodiments the finned portions of the heat exchanger are so disposed relative to each other that fins therein project toward the adjacent finned portions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A heat exchanger comprising a. two sheet members bonded together in face-to-face relation to each other b. said sheet members defining a plurality of elongated tubular members disposed therebetween in substantially planar spaced relation to each other; and c. said sheet members including a plurality of fins (1) integral thereto, (2) spaced from each other along said tubular members, (3) having elongated base portions extending transversely across said sheets and said tubular members, and (4) projecting transversely and oppositely outwardly away from said sheets and said tubular members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A heat exchanger comprising a. two sheet members bonded together in face-to-face relation to each other b. said sheet members defining a plurality of elongated tubular members disposed therebetween in substantially planar spaced relation to each other; and c. said sheet members including a plurality of fins (1) integral thereto, (2) spaced from each other along said tubular members, (3) having elongated base portions extending transversely across said sheets and said tubular members, and (4) projecting transversely and oppositely outwardly away from said sheets and said tubular members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A heat exchanger as defined in claim 1, and in which a. said sheet members disposed on each side of said tubular members are of a greater width than the width across each of said elongated tubular members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A heat exchanger, as defined in claim 1, and in which a. said tubular members open outwardly through oppositely disposed edges of said bonded two sheet members.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
A heat exchanger as defined in claim 1, and in which a. said sheet members define two other elongated tubular members (1) disposed (a) on opposite sides of said first mentioned tubular members, and (b) in substantially perpendicular relation to the latter, and (2) connected to respective opposite ends of said first mentioned tubular members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A heat exchanger as defined in claim 1, or claim 4, and in which a. fins on respective ones of said tubular members project toward other of said tubular members from which said fins project.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
76 words
A heat exchanger as defined in claim 4, and in which a. fins on respective ones of said first mentioned tubular members project toward other of said first mentioned tubular members, and b. said sheet members have a plurality of spaced openings therethrough between said other tubular members and adjacent ones of said fins, and c. adjacent ones of said openings are disposed on respective opposite sides of respective ones of said first mentioned tubular members.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
85 words
A heat exchanger as defined in claim 1, and in which a. said sheet members have two pluralities of spaced openings therethrough, b. said pluralities of openings are disposed between respective opposite edges of said sheet members and adjacent ones of said fins, c. adjacent ones of said openings in respective ones of said pluralities are disposed on respective opposite sides of respective ones of said tubular members, and d. fins on respective ones of said tubular members project toward other of said tubular members.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
62 words
A heat exchanger as defined in claim 7, and in which a. said sheet members define two other elongated tubular members (1) disposed (a) on opposite sides of (1') said pluralities of openings, and (2') said first mentioned tubular members, and (b) in substantially perpendicular relation to the latter, and (2) connected to respective opposite ends of said first mentioned tubular members.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
A heat exchanger as defined in claim 1, and in which a. said fins on alternate ones of said tubular members are disposed in substantially uniplanar relation to each other.
