Abstract
In a refrigerator motor with a hollow base-housing with an open mouth defined by a side wall, and a cover for the mouth, one of the housing and cover has integral with it at least one deflectable finger, one end of which is integral with one of said cover and housing and a free end of which is provided with a lip. The other of the housing and cover has integral with it a complementary ledge, spaced and shaped to receive and to be engaged by the lip. In either case, the cover carries, preferably integral with it, a motor mounting bracket by which the motor is mounted in a refrigeration unit. In a preferred embodiment, the finger is integral with the cover and the ledge is integral with the housing, and the mounting bracket has arms that extend beyond a lower perimeter of the housing.
