  • Patent number: 6416285
    Abstract: A method for producing a rotor of a fan, which has support disks and lamellae which each have a curved cross-sectional profile, is proposed. The method is distinguished by the fact that firstly the lamellae are pushed axially into receiving openings in the support disks. Then, the profile height of each lamella is increased as a result of the lamella being plastically deformed in the region of the receiving opening, in such a manner that the lamella becomes clamped in its receiving opening.

  • Patent number: 6290456
    Abstract: A fan having a rotor with a plurality of fan blades, the fan having an intake and a pressure side. A blocking device between the intake and pressure sides of the fan. The blocking device comprising a strip-like brush element with a plurality of brush sections that extend radially upwardly toward the edge of the rotor. The brush sections are spaced apart from one another along the direction from the intake to the pressure side of the fan. A cross-flow fan has spaced apart brush sections which are spaced apart in the running direction of the fan. An axial flow fan has brush sections which are spaced apart from one another transversely with respect to the running direction. The brush sections in each of the fans may also be as in the other type of fan. The brush sections may define a v-shape extending from a common block or may be in spaced apart rows or may be individual tufts and the tufts may be staggered along the length of the brush.
