Abstract: A mechanism for securing an electrical fan assembly to a frame is provided by a frame constructed with a generally flat frame peripheral section that surrounds a generally four-cornered rectangular opening at a fan support location. Two spaced-apart tabs punched out of the frame project into holes in the corners of the fan assembly, and two spaced-apart U-channel ribs formed from the frame engage the fan assembly housing when it is supported at the fan-support location. The frame has a wall that extends away from the frame which has a pair of spaced-apart slots. A resilient spring clip is associated with each of the slots so that a lip of the spring clip is clamped over a hole in a corner of the front of the fan assembly housing.
