Abstract: The invention is a suction cup mount that attaches an axial type fan to a non-porous surface utilizing a total of four suction cups arraigned in a fashion that two of the suction cups, the primary load bearing suction cups, provide the majority of the holding force for the axial fan housing. The remaining two suction cups, the safety lanyard suction cups, provide a back-up in order to hold the axial fan housing in the event of a failure of the primary load bearing suction cups. The safety lanyard suction cups also allow a user of the axial fan to position the fan thereby varying the direction of the air output of the axial fan.
