My invention' relates to improvements in i provide a construction lof cooling device of the character described vinvolving a minimum number of castings, each cheaply made characters indicate similar parts.

' 5 is a conventional representation of a cylinder casting of an engine provided with a piston, G, and a connecting rod, 7. Inthe ,40 outside surface of the cylinder 'are radially projecting ribs, S), which are integrally formed with the cylinder wall, andextend vertically and parallel with the axis of the cylinder to provide therebetween channels or air conduits, 10. 'Around the ribs, 9, I

place a cylindrical casing, 11, which may be an integral part of the cylinder or which is preferably separable and made of relatively thin sheet iron and this casing incloses the 50 channels between adjacent ribs and forms' independent conduits thereof. I y provide a separable cylinder head casting 12, such asshown in the drawing, having a hollow part 18 which communicates through 55 itsbottom wall with each Aand all of the Thesalient object of my invention is to' the airdraftin said chamber. To the part 1T of the exhaustA valve, I connectl a pipe 18 through which to convey the burned products of combustion.

There may be as many of the combining In the drawings, wherein I have shown tubes, such as 23, 24, 25, etc., as desired my improved st-ructure, Iigure 1 is a Cenwithin the casing. vI have attained most ex- 85 `tral longitudinal SQCOII 0f.

The open- 90 haust may escape therefrom directly into the atmosphere.

The ejector device, besides inducing active circulation of air around the heated engine parts also serves as a inutiler to some ext-eut and may be extended so as toentirely displace multlers of the usual-type.

The arrows show the direct-ion ofthe exhaust gases through the ejector. The arrows also show the direction of air currents induced by the exhaust the eectolr device.

The oprtion of the device is so apparent as not to require'fnrther or extended'dcscription.
