摘要:
The present invention relates to a rotatable cover which can be screwed or plugged on and is to be fastened on a stationary connection of a motor vehicle radiator or compensator reservoir of cooling and heating systems. The cover has a screw or plug cap and/or swivel cap and a rotatable engagement part in which a valve in the form of a combined overpressure/underpressure unit is arranged concentrically. The valve has a sealing member which produces a sealing connection with the stationary connection when the cover is applied. When the cover is positioned on the stationary connection, it is possible to prevent by means of a temperature-related control member removal, such as unscrewing or twisting of the cover. The temperature-related control member or a coupling part actuated by means of the temperature-related control member can be moved substantially radially between a coupling position and a release position. Consequently, a cover is produced which cannot be removed in cooling systems in which the temperature is still excessive, but which can be removed only when the excessive temperature has fallen completely, the cover nevertheless having a space-saving structure.

A safety cap, particularly for cooling liquid circuits of i.c. engines for motorvehicles, comprising an inner cover to be screwed onto a circuit filler and bearing a body axially and sealingly engageable within the filler. The body is hollow and carries a thermostatic actuator, and the inner cover is substantially completely surrounded by an outer cover which is movable, by means of the thermostatic actuator, from a torsionally coupled position to a torsionally uncoupled position relative to the inner cover.

A vessel for a fluid, the vessel having a filling opening and a cap removably mounted on the vessel for closing the filling opening, the filling opening being defined by a tubular conduit having a vent port located in its wall, the cap including an elongate sealing member which is axially insertable into the conduit, the sealing member carrying a circumferentially extending main seal for providing sealing engagement between axially extending opposed faces of the conduit wall and the sealing member, the sealing member being axially movably mounted on the vessel for axial movement between a first axially static position whereat the main seal resides at an inner location relative to the vent port to sealingly isolate the vent port from the interior of the vessel and to a second axially static position whereat the main seal resides at an outer location relative to the vent port to permit direct fluid communication between the vent port and the interior of the vessel.

A radiator cap assembly has a cap, a tether and a seal member. The seal member is adapted to float upon coolant within the radiator. Upon removal of the cap while the coolant is in an elevated temperature and pressure condition, the seal member will cover the f ill tube to prevent liquid from exiting the radiator.

A thermally locking radiator cap for fitting on the filler neck flange of an automotive radiator, which prevents the radiator cap from becoming detached from the filler neck flange when the radiator is hot. The cap uses a bi-metallic strip captured on the top surface of the radiator cap and having an end which goes through the opening of the radiator cap and engages the filler neck flange to lock the cap in place. Colors are placed on the bi-metallic strip adjacent to a window at the top of the radiator cap so that when the bi-metallic strip moves as a result of expansion, the colors change to indicate that the cap is either locked or free.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a safety device for a radiator cap detachably mounted on a fluid supply opening for closing the radiator opening. The safety device comprises a lock means for preventing the opening of the radiator cap when the temperature of the coolant in the radiator is higher than a predetermined value. The lock means is provided between the radiator cap and an inner surface of the fluid supply opening. The lock means comprises a lock portion provided on an inner surface of the fluid supply opening and a lock member fixedly secured to the radiator cap. The lock member is formed of a shape memory alloy.

A temperature regulated dual pressure radiator cap for an engine coolant system is disclosed having a temperature actuated valve that operates to normally open a large pressure responsive valve area to the coolant pressure below a predetermined coolant temperature and close communication therewith thereabove while then exposing the coolant pressure to a small pressure responsive valve area whereby the coolant pressure required for blow off is higher at coolant temperatures above such temperature.
摘要:
In a cooling circuit for internal combustion engines which includes a cooling jacket of the engine, a coolant pump, a radiator, a mixing thermostat, and an expansion tank, an excess-pressure valve is connected in the area between the cooling jacket and the radiator and a vacuum valve is connected in the area between the radiator valve of the mixing thermostat and the suction side of the coolant pump; both valves are connected with the coolant reservoir in the expansion tank which in communication with the atmosphere, is without excess pressure; high excess pressure values as well as low vacuum values in the cooling circuit are precluded thereby; a vent valve provides for an especially effective venting of the cooling circuit into the expansion tank in cooperation with the sucking back of coolant into the cooling circuit by means of the vacuum valve.
摘要:
A pressure relief radiator cap having a lever pivotable about a horizontal axis to a downward position to slide the depending toe of a sliding pawl into locking registry with one of the usual radiator filler neck flange recesses, and constrain the cap against removal. The lever is upwardly pivotable to slide the depending toe out of such registry to permit removal of the cap, but such upward movement contemporaneously operates valve means of the cap to vent radiator pressure, whereby dangerous pressures are automatically released before one can attempt to rotate the cap for removal.
