Abstract: A protective screen assembly (1) for a fan includes a cover part (2) having an air passage opening (4) and a protective screen (6). In the area of the passage opening (4), the protective screen (6) is connected to the cover part (2) via detent connections (8) distributed over the circumference so as to close the passage opening as protection against contact. Each detent connection (8) includes a detent shoulder (10) in the passage opening (4) and a detent element (12) on the protective screen (6). In the area of each detent element (12) at the outer edge of the protective screen (6), the protective screen (6) is resiliently deformable such that each detent element (12), for engaging and disengaging the detent connection (8), can be moved radially relative to the related detent shoulder (10), regionally deforming the protective screen (6).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact fan, comprising a fan wheel, in particular a radial fan wheel (1), which is fastened on a rotor of an external rotor motor (82). The fan wheel (1) is supported between a front plate (8) having an air inlet opening (9), which is central, and a motor mount (11). The front plate (8) and the motor mount (11) are connected to one another via multiple spacers (12), which are disposed around the circumference. The front plate (8) and the motor mount (11) are formed as plastic or metal spray parts. The spacers (12) are formed as plastic or metal parts entirely or partially in one piece to the front plate (8) and/or the motor mount (11).

Abstract: Disclosed is a protective screen assembly (1) for a fan, comprising a cover part (2) having an air passage opening (4) and a protective screen (6). In the area of the passage opening (4), the protective screen (6) is connected or can be connected to the cover part (2) via a plurality of detent connections (8) distributed over the circumference so as to close the passage opening as protection against contact. Each detent connection (8) comprises a detent shoulder (10) arranged in the passage opening (4) and a detent element (12) arranged on the protective screen (6).
