Abstract

An improved grill panel and motor mount assembly for fans and fan motors includes a plurality of flexible cables connecting the end plates of the motor housing with a mounting bracket attached to a louvered panel. 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. The combination sheet metal air discharge grill and fan motor mount assembly includes sectors of louvers arranged about a center support section of the grill panel.
