Mounting device for fan

Abstract

A mounting device for fixing a fan includes a board, a frame, and two shockproof members. The board defines a vent. Two blocking pieces perpendicularly extend from the board at opposite sides of the vent. The frame is sandwiched between the blocking pieces. Two tabs extend from opposite sides of the frame. Each shockproof member is mounted between one of the blocking pieces and a corresponding one of the tabs.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mounting device for fixing a fan, comprising:
 a board defining a first vent, two opposite blocking pieces extending from the board at opposite sides of the first vent;   a frame receiving the fan, and attached to the board between the blocking pieces, two tabs extending from opposite sides of the frame and fixed to the corresponding blocking pieces; and   two shockproof members each mounted between one of the blocking pieces and a corresponding one of the tabs.   
     
     
         2 . The mounting device of  claim 1 , wherein the tabs and the blocking pieces each define a through hole, a fastener extends through the through hole of each tab and the corresponding shockproof member, to engage with the corresponding blocking piece. 
     
     
         3 . The mounting device of  claim 2 , wherein the frame comprises a first cover and a second cover attached to opposite ends of the fan, the second cover is attached to the board. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting device of  claim 3 , wherein the first cover comprises a first blocking plate abuts against a first end of the fan, and two side plates extending from opposite sides of the first blocking plate abuts against opposite sides of the fan, the tabs extend from the corresponding side plates. 
     
     
         5 . The mounting device of  claim 4 , wherein the second cover comprises a second blocking plate sandwiched between a second end of the fan and the board, and a blocking portion extending from the second blocking plate abut against a top of the fan. 
     
     
         6 . The mounting device of  claim 5 , wherein a projection protrudes from the board above the first vent, the blocking portion comprises a first portion perpendicularly extending out from a top side of the second blocking plate and a second portion perpendicularly extending up from a side of the first portion opposite to the second blocking plate, a protrusion protrudes from the second portion to engage with the projection. 
     
     
         7 . The mounting device of  claim 5 , wherein the first blocking plate defines a second vent, the second blocking plate defines a third vent, the second and third vents both align with the first vent. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting device of  claim 1 , wherein the shockproof members are made of elastic material. 
     
     
         9 . The mounting device of  claim 8 , wherein the elastic material is rubber. 
     
     
         10 . An assembly comprising:
 a board defining a first vent, two opposite blocking pieces extending from the board at opposite sides of the first vent;   a fan;   a frame receiving the fan, and attached to the board between the blocking pieces, with the fan aligning with the first vent, two tabs extending from opposite sides of the frame and fixed to the corresponding blocking pieces; and   two shockproof members each mounted between one of the blocking pieces and a corresponding one of the tabs.   
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the tabs and the blocking pieces each define a through hole, a fastener extends through the through hole of each blocking piece and the corresponding shockproof member, to engage with the corresponding tab. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the frame comprises a first cover and a second cover attached to opposite ends of the fan, the second cover is attached to the board. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the first cover comprises a first blocking plate abuts against a first end of the fan, and two side plates extending from opposite sides of the first blocking plate to abut against opposite sides of the fan, the tabs extend from the corresponding side plates. 
     
     
         14 . The assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the second cover comprises a second blocking plate sandwiched between a second end of the fan and the board, and a blocking portion extending from the second blocking plate to abut against a top of the fan. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein a projection protrudes from the board above the first vent, the blocking portion comprises a first portion perpendicularly extending out from a top side of the second blocking plate and a second portion perpendicularly extending up from a side of the first portion opposite to the second blocking plate, a protrusion protrudes from the second portion to engage with the projection. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the first blocking plate defines a second vent, the second blocking plate defines a third vent, the second and third vents both align with the fan and the first vent. 
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the shockproof members are made of elastic material. 
     
     
         18 . The assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the elastic material is rubber.
