  • Patent number: 6638037
    Abstract: A fan apparatus comprising a fan with fan blades, a motor for rotating the fan blades, this motor having a rotatable output shaft projecting from one end and a fan support structure capable of supporting the fan and its motor and having an opening for an airflow through the fan. The support structure includes two support brackets connected to motor mounting surfaces on opposite sides of the motor and extending between the motor and a fan-supporting panel or housing. Each support bracket is formed from one integral metal piece comprising a central section, which is connected to the motor mounting surface by bolts, and two similar wing sections extending from opposite ends of the central section. Each wing section forms an obtuse angle with the central section and is detachably connected by bolts to the panel or housing. The obtuse angle is preferably about 135 degrees.
