Claim:
1. A removable radiator fin assembly adapted to removably receive a radiator pipe, comprising: a first plurality of adjacently spaced fins, each having a collar flange projecting outwardly from a face thereof, the collar flange sized to receive a portion of the radiator pipe, each of the first plurality of fins further having a spacer rod hole and a hinge rod hole; a second plurality of adjacently spaced fins, each having a collar flange projecting outwardly from a face thereof, the collar flange sized to receive a portion of the radiator pipe, each of the second plurality of fins further having a spacer rod hole and a hinge rod hole; a first spacer rod extending through the spacer rod holes of each of the first plurality of adjacently spaced fins, thereby producing a first fin subassembly; a second spacer rod extending through the spacer rod holes of each of the second plurality of adjacently spaced fins, thereby producing a second fin subassembly; a singular hinge rod extending through the hinge rod hole of each of the plurality of first and second adjacently spaced fins of the respective first fin subassembly and second fin subassembly, thereby producing a single unitary assembly in which the first and second fin subassemblies are pivotally movable about the singular hinge rod between an open position and a closed position, wherein, in the open position, the first fin subassembly and second fin sub assembly are removably positionable over the radiator pipe, and wherein, in the closed position, the collar flanges of the first and second plurality of fins of the respective first and second fin subassemblies substantially surround the radiator pipe; and a fin clamp removably securing the first and second fin subassemblies together in the closed position about the radiator pipe; whereby said first and second fin subassemblies are removable from around the radiator pipe together as the single unitary assembly, after removing the fin clamp and pivoting the first and second fin subassemblies about the singular hinge rod from the closed position to the open position.
