Radiator Core Support

Abstract

A radiator core support 1 has a condenser 10 which is arranged at a front side thereof, and pipes 30 and 31, of the condenser 10, vehicle-side connecting end portions of which pass through a through-hole 8 formed on the radiator core support 1 in a state where the end portions project rearward. The radiator core support 1 is provided with a bracket 40 which is capable of supporting the pipes 30 and 31 in a state where the bracket 40 blocks off gaps formed between the pipes 30 and 31 and the through-hole 8.

1 . A radiator core support in which a condenser is arranged on a front side of the radiator core support and a vehicle side connecting end portion of a piping of the condenser passes through a through-hole formed on the radiator core support in a state where the end portion is projected rearward therethrough, the radiator core support characterized in that the radiator core support is provided with a bracket which is capable of holding the piping in a state where the bracket blocks off a gap formed between the piping and the through-hole. 
   
   
       2 . The radiator core support according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the bracket is elastically supported by the piping.   
   
   
       3 . The radiator core support according to  claim 1  or  claim 2 , wherein
 the piping has two pipes, and wherein   the bracket is formed so that an upper portion of the bracket is turnable around an upper end portion thereof so as to open for allowing one of pipes of the piping to be inserted from a lower side, and so that a lower portion of the bracket is turnable around a lower end portion thereof so as to open for allowing the other of the pipes of the piping to be inserted from an upper side.   
   
   
       4 . The radiator core support according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the bracket has a plurality of ribs which extend radially from a supporting portion forming the through-hole, through which the piping passes, to an outer circumferential frame portion of the bracket.   
   
   
       5 . The radiator core support according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the piping has two pipes, and wherein   the bracket is formed so that an upper portion of the bracket is turnable around an upper end portion thereof so as to open for allowing one of pipes of the piping to be inserted from a lower side, and so that a lower portion of the bracket is turnable around a lower end portion thereof so as to open for allowing the other of the pipes of the piping to be inserted from an upper side.   
   
   
       6 . The radiator core support according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the bracket has a plurality of ribs which extend radially from a supporting portion forming the through-hole, through which the piping passes, to an outer circumferential frame portion of the bracket.   
   
   
       7 . The radiator core support according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the bracket has a plurality of ribs which extend radially from a supporting portion forming the through-hole, through which the piping passes, to an outer circumferential frame portion of the bracket.
