Abstract

Abstract An automobile tire and brake cooling system using water to effect cooling comprises: a water tank located in the trunk; first valve control means located in the passenger compartment for actuating first water control valve means associated with the tank; first conduit means for directing water from the first water control valve means to water spray ejection means located adjacent to the front upper quadrants of the front and rear tire surfaces; second conduit means for directing water from the first water control valve means to water stream ejection means located adjacent to the brake housings of the front and rear wheels; third conduit means for directing water from the first conduit means to water spray ejection means located in front of the radiator; second valve actuating front located second water control valve means associated with the second conduit means; fourth conduit means for directing water from the second water control valve means to front located preheating means associated with the engine exhaust manifold; fifth conduit means for directing water from the preheating means to front located electrical heating means; sixth conduit means for directing hot water from the electrical heating means to the passenger compartment; and seventh conduit means for directing cold water from the second water control valve means to the passenger compartment. The brake housings receive a stream of water while the tire surfaces and the front radiator surface receive an atomized spray of water.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 204 words
An automobile tire and brake cooling system using water to effect cooling comprises: a water tank located in the trunk; first valve control means located in the passenger compartment for actuating first water control valve means associated with the tank; first conduit means for directing water from said first water control valve means to water spray ejection means located adjacent to the tire surface; second conduit means for directing water from said first water control valve means to water stream ejection means located adjacent to the brake housings of the wheels; third conduit means for directing water from said first conduit means to water spray ejection means located adjacent the radiator; second valve control means located in the passenger compartment for actuating second water control valve means associated with said second conduit means; fourth conduit means for directing water from said second water control valve means to preheating means associated with the engine exhaust manifold; fifth conduit means for directing water from said preheating means to electrical heating means; sixth conduit means for directing hot water from said electrical heating means to the passenger compartment; and seventh conduit means for directing cold water from said second water control valve means to the passenger compartment.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 204 words
An automobile tire and brake cooling system using water to effect cooling comprises: a water tank located in the trunk; first valve control means located in the passenger compartment for actuating first water control valve means associated with the tank; first conduit means for directing water from said first water control valve means to water spray ejection means located adjacent to the tire surface; second conduit means for directing water from said first water control valve means to water stream ejection means located adjacent to the brake housings of the wheels; third conduit means for directing water from said first conduit means to water spray ejection means located adjacent the radiator; second valve control means located in the passenger compartment for actuating second water control valve means associated with said second conduit means; fourth conduit means for directing water from said second water control valve means to preheating means associated with the engine exhaust manifold; fifth conduit means for directing water from said preheating means to electrical heating means; sixth conduit means for directing hot water from said electrical heating means to the passenger compartment; and seventh conduit means for directing cold water from said second water control valve means to the passenger compartment.
