  • Fan
    Patent number: 8616859
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fan, particularly for cooling an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, having an attachment unit, an electric drive motor, and a fan wheel rotating about the fan axis, wherein the attachment unit has a frame, from which bars protrude that cross through an air opening, said bars carrying an attachment element serving to attach the drive motor. The invention proposes that each of the bars (6) have a cross-sectional contour, wherein at least one cross bar (18) extending laterally in the direction of the fan axis (9) is configured between end regions (14, 15) of the bar (6) extending in the direction of the fan axis (9), defining a bar width (b).

  • Patent number: 6149108
    Abstract: A cable retainer which is made of plastic including elastic element which can be bent to secure a cable in place. The cable retainer has a retaining element with a curved end wall and a retaining tongue with a free end that is aligned with the retaining element. On both sides of the retaining tongue guide rails are provided, which with an inclined portion of their guide face guides the cable during cable installation and prevents excessive sagging of the retaining tongue in order to secure the cable between the curved end wall and the retaining tongue. The cable retainer either as an independent part or as an integral part of a body serves to fix a cable to a body.
