Abstract:
1. An air mover, comprising: a housing, having an air exit, which comprises a first housing body and a second housing body symmetrical to said first housing body in size such that inner sides of said first and second housing bodies are coupled with each other to define a centerline of said housing and a housing cavity within said housing, wherein said first housing body has a perforated end panel formed at an outer side thereof, wherein said second housing body has a side opening defined at an outer side thereof; an air stream generator, which is coaxially supported within said housing cavity, comprising a motor coupled at an interior side of said end panel of said first housing body and an impeller being powered by said motor to rotate for creating a suction effect within said housing cavity to suck air from the two outer sides of said housing and to generate an air stream exiting at said air exit; and a locking mechanism securely locked up said motor at said end panel of said first housing body from an exterior side of said end panel such that said motor is securely supported at said end panel of said first housing within said housing cavity, wherein said locking mechanism has a plurality of through fastening holes radially formed at said end panel and comprises a plurality of fasteners extended from said exterior side of said end panel through said fastening holes to lock up said motor at said interior side of said end panel within said housing cavity, wherein said locking mechanism further comprises an exterior brace coupled at said exterior side of end panel for enhancing a rigidity of said end panel to support said motor, wherein said fasteners are covered by said exterior brace when said exterior brace is coupled at said end panel, such that said fasteners are inaccessible to release an engagement between said end panel and said motor when said exterior brace is coupled at said end panel, wherein said end panel has a plurality of retention recess indented at said exterior side thereof, wherein said exterior brace has a retention body rested at said exterior side of said end panel, a plurality of retention arms radially extended from said retention body to receive at said retention recess, and a plurality of through alignment holes aligned with said fastening holes for said fasteners extended therethrough respectively, such that when said retention body rested at said exterior side of said end panel, said end panel is sandwiched between said exterior brace and said motor.
