Abstract
An improved motor mount assembly for fan motors includes a plurality of flexible cables connecting the end plates of the motor housing with a mounting bracket. The motor mount assembly may be used in combination with a bladed fan or a blower wheel fan. The cables retain the blower motor in proper position while providing sufficient flexibility to damp out vibrations which occur due to the operation of the fan motor. A combination sheet metal air discharge grill and fan motor mount assembly is also disclosed.
