Abstract

A fan shroud 4 is assembled to a cooling module in such a way that the fan shroud 4 covers brackets 3 that have been assembled to the cooling module, that is, a radiator 1 and a condenser 2 and, at the same time, snap fits 3h and a vehicle body prevent the fan shroud 4 from being detached from the brackets 3. In this way, it is possible to easily assemble the cooling module and the fan shroud 4 and, therefore, it is also possible to improve the workability in assembling or disassembling the cooling module and the fan shroud 4.
