Abstract
A fan body assembly having a housing assembly and an electric motor mounted to the housing is disclosed. The housing includes two grill members each having a vented wall and a peripheral side wall. The grill members are secured to one another by a fastener assembly which has a projection extending from the inner surface of one of the side walls which engages a mating receiver attached to the other sidewall. Spaced securing members are positioned from the inner surface of the first sidewall and include a sloped surface to guide the mating receiver into engagement with the projection. A lip extends from one of the sidewalls and mates with the inner surface of the other sidewall such that the sidewalls abut to form a substantially smooth transition. Unidirectional foot members are easily inserted into the base of the fan assembly to provide support.
