Abstract
A mounting arrangement for a fan assembly having a fan mounting plate. The mounting plate is adapted to be received in a structural retainer at a lower end thereof and is provided with a notch in the upper edge thereof which is adapted to engage a U-shaped bracket in the wall to which the assembly is being attached. Attachment of the mounting plate to the wall is achieved by use of a retaining clip comprising three spaced parallel fingers. The middle finger of the clip is received within the U-shaped bracket and the two other fingers are adapted to engage the plate on opposite sides of the notch. When the clip is inserted into engagement, the thickness of the fingers is such that the clip is frictionally retained in the described position to thereby hold the plate in operable engagement with the wall.
