  • Patent number: 6269896
    Abstract: A radiator cover for covering the side of a radiator. The inside of the radiator cover forms an expelled air path with air being expelled to the outside of the vehicle from an expelled air port of a side section thereof. An intake path for the flow of fresh air is formed in a longitudinal direction and includes an intake port and a duct. An opening section is formed in part of the duct, the opening section being opened and closed by a louver actuated by an actuation member. Expelled air thereby controllably enters the opening section into the duct and is mixed with fresh air. Thus, fresh air can be effectively temperature controlled. The mixed air is expelled from the duct to the rear of the radiator cover.
