Abstract: A ratcheting mechanism for a fan having a base and a head assembly. The ratcheting mechanism has a pivot having a portion for coupling with the fan head assembly; a member disposed within a portion of the pivot; a extension portion having side walls spaced apart from one another, the pivot and member disposed between the side walls of the extension portion; a pin having a lower portion seated within a base portion of the extension portion, an upper portion of the pin resiliently placed against the collar; and a coupling placed through a central portion of the side walls and the pivot for compressing the side walls against the pivot to maintain a position of the fan head assembly and allowing bi-directional pivoting of the pivot relative to the extension portion in a range of greater than 45 degrees absent a tightening and a loosening of the coupling.

Abstract: An improved electric motor cooling construction where the motor stator is contained within the motor housing. The motor covers and motor housing are designed to provide direct increased airflow to the motor stator, and coil windings to provide better airflow through the motor resulting in improved cooling.
