heat / pressure splash protection and motor engine cooling fan assembly that has the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a fan cover assembly (10) including a fan cover (14) having a protrusion (54) formed therein and a shield (22) having an opening (58) and at least least one slot (62) in communication with the aperture to allow deflection of the shield in a region adjacent the aperture. the opening is smaller than the protrusion so that the aperture receives the protrusion with an interference fit which causes the deflection of the shield to secure the shield in the fan shroud.
