DCFirst Claim
1. A cover or housing for housing two thermostat valves as a single compact set for mounting on an engine comprising:
- a hollowed body projecting from a flange having holes for fixing the cover to an engine, the hollowed body having a surface inclined to a center part thereof containing a vertical tubular element for interconnecting to a radiator, the hollowed body having two adjacent galleries, each gallery having an independent entrance in a base of the flange, and each gallery having an exit leading into the tubular element, providing a single common exit from the cover or housing, each gallery having downwardly projecting legs having grooves at their ends disposed in a facing relationship for receiving the ends of a thermostat therein, for mounting the thermostat in the gallery, an upper end of each gallery containing a centering hole for receiving a center point of a thermostat therein.

Abstract
A cover is used to integrate two thermostat valves in a compact set, wherein the cover has a hollowed body (1) projected from a flange (2) converging to a center part in which a vertical tubular element (5) is fitted to interconnect with a radiator via a hose. In the interior of the hollowed body (1), there are two adjacent galleries (7) shaped with independent end entrances (8 and 9) that are open in the base of the flange (2), and which share a single exit (10) defined by the tubular element (5). The mouthpieces of the two independent entrances are surrounded by grooves (11) that receive sealing rings (12). On two diametrically opposing sides of each independent entrance (8 and 9) of adjacent galleries (7), two orthogonal legs (13) are projected, the legs having facing grooves (14) for receiving the thermostat ends therein, the thermostats being in alignment with the center of each independent entrance (8 and 9), a protuberance (15) provided with a hole (16) is used to centralize the assembly of the two thermostats.
