Abstract

A mounting apparatus used in a casing to mount a fan to a bracket and protect the electrical cables supplying the fan includes a pillar, a clipping member, and a connecting member. The pillar includes a first end and an opposite second end. The clipping member secures a cable of the fan and is fixed to the first end of the pillar. The connecting member mounting the fan is fixed to the second end of the pillar. The pillar defines a clipping slot for mounting to the bracket, the clipping slot is located between the first end and the second end.

Claims

a pillar comprising a first end and a second end opposite to the first end;

a clipping member to mount a cable of the fan, wherein the clipping member is fixed to the first end of the pillar; and

a connecting member to mounted to the fan, wherein the connecting member is fixed to the second end of the pillar;

wherein the pillar defines a clipping slot to mounted to the bracket, the clipping slot is located between the first end and the second end.

2. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the clipping member is a L shaped hook.

3. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the mounting apparatus further comprises a latching portion located between the second end of the pillar and the clipping slot, the connecting member and the latching portion define a clamping to mount the fan.

4. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the clipping slot is located at a middle portion of the pillar.

5. A cooling device comprising:

a fan;

a cable connected to the fan; and

a mounting apparatus for mounting the fan to a bracket, comprising;
