ABSTRACT:
A housing (10) for a cooling fan (56) includes a first side wall (12) and a second side wall (14) separated by a front wall (16). A first wall portion (22) extends from the first side wall (22) toward the second side wall (14) and opposite from the front wall (16). A second wall portion (26) extends from the second side wall (14) toward the first side wall (12) and opposite from the front wall (16). A first flexible member (30) on the first wall portion (22) extends along the first side wall (12) and is arched toward the front wall (16). A second flexible member (32) on the second wall portion (26) extends along the second side wall (14) and is arched toward the front wall (16). A cooling fan (56) is inserted into the housing (10), compressing the first flexible member (30) and the second flexible member (32) that force the cooling fan (56) against the front wall (16). The front wall (16) may include tabs (42, 46, 48, 50) to enhance the ability to secure the cooling fan (56) within the housing (10).
