Abstract
A system for retaining an electric motor (10) in a housing (24) having a wall which includes an orifice (40) through which a connector (42) passes to connect the motor to a source of electricity. The connector (42) has a projecting lug (56) which is received in a notch (58) in the cage (12) of the motor and which constitutes a retaining member for preventing the motor from being withdrawn from the housing (24). The invention is particularly applicable to electric motors used to drive fans in installations for heating and ventilating or for air conditioning motor vehicles.
