Abstract

Fan motors, and the like, are mounted to a unit having mounting holes of different spacing the mounting holes of the fan motor by the use of one or more brackets each constructed around a substantially planar member provided with at least a pair of slots, each of which slots are arranged for attachment to one of the motor and a motor support member of the associated unit. The slots may be of equal or dissimilar lengths and may extend longitudinally either codirectionally and/or perpendicularly with respect to one another, and some of the slots may be arcuate in plan in order to facilitate the mounting of motors having a generally cylindrical housing.
