A backflow blocking apparatus for axial fans may be provided. The apparatus may comprise a sheet. The sheet may comprise a first section and a second section. The first section may comprise a plurality of flaps cut out of and retained by the first section of the sheet. The second section may comprise a guard structure. The apparatus may further comprise a fold about which the first section and the second section are folded on one another. The guard structure may inhibit the movement of the plurality of flaps in a direction toward the guard structure when the first section and the second section are folded on one another.

Backflow blocking device for axial fans

An electronic device includes a chassis base and a chassis cover which define an electronic enclosure. The chassis base includes a slant angle venting plate extending at an angle from a chassis base sidewall of the chassis base. The slant angle venting plate has a slant angle vent plate pattern formed therein. Further, the chassis cover includes a chassis cover venting pattern covering the slant angle vent plate pattern. As the slant angle venting plate is slanted, the available surface area in which to form the slant angle vent plate pattern is maximized thus maximizing air flow through the electronic enclosure.
