ABSTRACT:
A fan shroud retrofittable about a vehicle's fan and mountable to the fan housing, to prevent access thereto by animals. A first embodiment includes a pair of semi-circular screened housing members which include a pair of aligned, planar flange members. When the respective pairs are joined to the companion pairs of a second housing member, the assembly defines a circular shroud for mounting to the fan housing. A second embodiment for the shroud of this invention consists of a unitary, circular housing having a radially extending opening to override the shaft of the fan.
