Abstract
A device assembling a motor-fan with a motor vehicle engine radiator, including: a first support frame supporting the motor-fan and a second support frame supporting the radiator, at least one of the support frames including at least one peripheral sealing baffle to overlap a peripheral edge of the other support frame; at least four fixing points fixing the motor-fan to the radiator by engaging together simultaneously, including two upper fixing points each including at least one pin and a U-shaped lug to hold the upper part of the motor-fan with relatively little play in relation to the radiator, and two lower fixing points each including at least one pin and a lug with an L-shaped housing to hold the lower part of the motor-fan slightly away from the radiator and at an end of travel bring the lower part of the motor-fan close to the radiator with relatively little play.
