Abstract: A method for forming a through-hole through the circumferential wall of a metal pipe includes the steps of forming at least a thin portion by removing an outside circumferential surface portion of a metal pipe, and forming a through-hole in the thin portion from outside or inside and, at the same time, forming a cylindrical burring wall on the inside or outside circumferential surface side of the metal pipe. The through-hole may be formed by pressing the thin portion from outside with a punch. Alternatively, a preparatory through-hole may be formed together with the thin portion by removing the outside circumferential surface portion of the metal pipe. As a further alternative, the through-hole may be formed from outside with a punch having a larger diameter than the preparatory through-hole, or may be formed by pressing the thin portion from outside or inside by means of fluid pressure or a sphere.

Abstract: A metal support for exhaust gas cleaning has a metal honeycomb core body fabricated by laying a planar sheet on a corrugated sheet and rolling the laminated sheets into a cylindrical configuration. The corrugated sheet has sinusoidal shaped portions having a wave height which is sufficient to contact the adjacent planar sheet and square wave portions which have a wave height which is insufficient to enable contact with the adjacent sheets. The square wave portions have corners which project out beyond the sinusoidal shaped portions and produce agitation and disturb the flow of gas and to induce an increase in the contact efficiency between the gas and surfaces carrying catalytic material. The planar sheet is not limited to continuously flat sheets and can include flat surfaces formed by zigzag or square wave shaped members. These members can be perforate and or made of a mesh material.

Abstract: A wind directing device for an automotive engine cooling fan includes a shroud surrounding the fan at the outlet side of a radiator. An undercover is disposed below the shroud. A guide wall is disposed below and near the front side of the automotive engine. The guide wall protrudes downwardly beyond the undercover and is bent or curved backwardly. The wind directing device effectively directs wind backwardly of the engine at both high and low engine speeds. Thus, the wind directing device prevents the recirculation phenomenon, enhances the fan flow efficiency and improves the cooling effect without any intermission.

Abstract: A joint structure for joining a branch member to a high pressure fuel rail which automatically aligns a spigot head of the branch member, if offset, upon tightening of a bolt and increases the rigidity of the spigot head to provide a sufficient degree of mechanical strength so that the spigot head can positively be "seated", and which insures connection between the branch member and the fuel rail if a fuel under substantially high pressure repeatedly flows over a prolonged period of time and if piping is subject to vibration and is free from leakage. In this joint structure, the branch member includes a spherical spigot end surface at its distal end, an annular flange axially spaced away from the spigot end surface, and a conical surface converging from the annular flange toward the spigot end surface.
