Abstract

A fan assembly includes a hollow support rack, a fan, and a shockproof member. The shockproof member is made of vibration-resistant material. The shockproof member defines a through hole. The fan is inserted into the through hole and deforms an inner wall bounding the through hole out. The shockproof member wraps the fan. A combination of the shockproof member and the cooling fan is retained in the support rack.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fan assembly, comprising:
 a hollow support rack;   a fan; and   a shockproof member defining a through hole;   wherein the shockproof member is made of vibration-resistant material, the fan is received in the shockproof member via the through hole and deforms an inner wall bounding the through hole out, the shockproof member wraps the fan, a combination of the shockproof member and the fan is retained in the support rack.   
     
     
         2 . The fan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the support rack defines a latching space extending through two opposite side surfaces of the support rack, the shockproof member is latched in the latching space. 
     
     
         3 . The fan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the fan comprises a rectangular frame, the through hole of the shockproof member has a square cross-section, and an edge length of the cross-section of the through hole is less than an edge length of a cross-section of the fan. 
     
     
         4 . The fan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the fan comprises a rectangular frame, the through hole of the shockproof member has a circular cross-section, and a diameter of the through hole is less than a diagonal line length of an end surface of the fan. 
     
     
         5 . The fan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the shockproof member is an entity excepting the through hole. 
     
     
         6 . The fan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the shockproof member is a hollow member excepting the through hole. 
     
     
         7 . The fan assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the shockproof member is made of plastic.
