Patent ID: 7051789

Claim:
A mounting bracket in combination with a heat exchanger having heat exchanger core formed by a stack of tube members each defining an internal flow passage, the mounting bracket comprising: an elongate, generally flat plate, the plate having an elongated planar central portion mounted to the heat exchanger core, the plate being shaped at a first end of the planar central portion to form a first bracket member having a first bracket end integrally connected to the first end of the planar central portion, a second distal end engaging the heat exchanger core at a location spaced apart from the planar central portion and an intermediate portion between the first bracket end and the second distal end that is spaced apart from the heat exchanger core, the first bracket member at least partially surrounding an opening adjacent a side edge of the heat exchanger core; and a second bracket member separately formed from and mounted to the first bracket member, the second bracket member having a central plate portion extending at least partially across the opening that is at least partially surrounded by the first bracket member, the central plate portion defining a mounting opening there through.
