Abstract

A cooling fan has a metal spacer, a boss made of Nylon integrally formed with the spacer by an insert molding and seven blades extending outward therefrom. A skew angle of about 30 degrees is provided at a connecting portion or a base end portion of the blade to the boss so as to be inclined backward in relation to a rotating direction of the cooling fan. To the contrary, a skew angle of about 8 degrees is provided at a portion extending from the connecting portion to the leading end of the blade so as to be inclined forward in relation to the rotating direction.
