Abstract:
A coolant passage device  3  includes coolant intake pipes  11  and  12  that take in coolant from an engine, a delivery pipe  17  to a radiator communicating with the coolant intake pipes, and a delivery pipe  18  to the heater core branched from a central passage  16  connecting the coolant intake pipes with the delivery pipe to the radiator. A branch port  18 a  leading to the delivery pipe  18  to the heater core is opened in an upper portion in the central passage  16  in a state where the coolant passage device  3  is mounted to the engine, and the branch port  18 a  has a wall surface  21  surrounding the branch port and hanging down into the central passage  16 . The wall surface  21  prevents bubbles contained in the coolant from entering the branch port  18 a . And the coolant passage device consequently prevents coolant flow noise from occurring.

Claim (Index 1):
A coolant passage device that is used in a cooling device for an internal combustion engine forming a coolant circulation flow path between a fluid passage formed in the internal combustion engine and a radiator, and is provided between a coolant outlet portion of the internal combustion engine and a coolant inlet portion of the radiator, the coolant passage device comprising:\n a coolant intake pipe that takes in coolant from the internal combustion engine; a delivery pipe to the radiator communicating with the coolant intake pipe; and at least a delivery pipe to a heater core branched from a central passage connecting the coolant intake pipe with the delivery pipe to the radiator, wherein a branch port leading to the delivery pipe to the heater core is opened in an upper portion in the central passage in a state where the coolant passage device is mounted to the internal combustion engine, and the branch port has a wall surface surrounding the branch port and hanging down into the central passage, and the wall surface prevents bubbles contained in the coolant from entering the branch port.
