Abstract

A mounting apparatus (30) for mounting a fan arrangement (40) on a seat (100), for example a vehicle seat, features a cylindrical sleeve or installation element (10) which secures within the seat, and a fan housing (50) for the fan arrangement or module (40), which slides into, and latches within, the cylindrical sleeve (10). The fan housing (50) has a tubular housing part (54) having a first housing part end (51) and a second housing part end (52) located axially opposite it. The fan module (40) includes a centrally located fan (80,81) supported by a plurality of radial struts (86), at least one of which serves as a channel (89) for power supply connecting wires (92). Wire pass-through openings (26, 64, 64′) are configured to permit a partial rotation of the fan module (40) during installation into the cylindrical sleeve (10).
