Abstract
A wire-fixing device is provided for a fan including a casing having a wire groove defined in an outer side of the casing. The wire-fixing device includes a retaining groove and a substantially L-shaped resilient retaining member. The retaining groove is defined in an outer corner of the casing and adjacent to the wire groove. The retaining groove includes a first coupling groove and a second coupling groove respectively on two sides of the wire groove. The retaining member has an angle smaller than that of the outer corner of the casing. The retaining member includes two arms each having a distal end. A first coupling section and a second coupling section are respectively formed on the distal ends of the arms and extend inward toward each other. The first coupling section and the second coupling sections are respectively engaged in the first coupling groove and the second coupling groove.
