  • Patent number: 4618020
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cowling structure of thin sheet material which forms a part of the vehicle frame in which the opposite side sections of the cowling firmly interconnected through the medium of the power propelling unit. Formed in one, or preferably both, of the opposite side sections of the cowling structure is an air outlet opening in which a radiator unit is fitted and a bifurcated air passage duct is defined in the cowling structure by an air-flow dividing guide plate so that an ample air supply is obtained through the front opening of the cowling to the pair of right and left radiator units during vehicle travel. In this manner, a cooling system of highly increased capacity is obtainable without any increase in air resistance of the vehicle. The guide plate also serves to strengthen the cowling structure without any substantial increase in weight.
