Fan mount
A computing device fan mounting system includes a chassis, a fan housing, and a fan mount. The chassis includes a receiving opening. The fan housing defines a first opening and a second opening. The fan mount includes a first peg engaged with the first opening, a second peg engaged with the second opening, and a pin engaged with the receiving opening.
1. A computing device fan mounting system, comprising:
a chassis including a receiving opening;
a fan housing defining a first opening and a second opening; and
a fan mount including a first peg engaged with the first opening, a second peg engaged with the second opening, and an enclosed compressible cavity within the fan mount, wherein the first peg is attached to a first end of the enclosed compressible cavity and the second peg is attached to a second end of the enclosed compressible cavity and wherein a cross-section of the enclosed compressible cavity traverses uninterrupted between the first peg and the second peg.
2. The fan mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the fan housing defines a third opening and a fourth opening, the chassis includes a second receiving opening, and the fan mounting system further includes a second fan mount including a third peg engaged with the third opening and a fourth peg engaged with the fourth opening and a pin engaged with the second receiving opening.
3. The fan mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the fan housing is secured along an axis substantially perpendicular to a plane of the chassis.
4. The fan mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the fan mount includes a front port and a rear port and wherein the compressible cavity connects the front port and the rear port.
5. The fan mounting system of claim 4 , wherein the first end opposes the second end, and wherein the first and second ends are each arranged to move toward the cavity toward the other of the first and second ends.
6. The fan mounting system of claim 5 , wherein the first peg is disengaged from the first opening when one of the first and second ends moves toward the other of the first and second ends.
7. The fan mounting system of claim 1 , further comprising a pin extending into the receiving opening of the chassis and disengageable from the receiving opening, wherein the pin includes a conical portion that is deformably insertable into the receiving opening.
8. The fan mounting system of claim 7 , wherein the pin includes a narrow portion, the conical portion disposed beneath the receiving opening and the narrow portion disposed in the receiving opening when the pin is fully inserted into the receiving opening.
9. The fan mounting system of claim 7 , wherein the conical portion includes a top portion having a first diameter greater than a second diameter of the receiving opening.
10. The fan mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the fan mount includes an inclined side in contact with the fan housing.
11. The fan mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the fan housing includes a first wall and a second wall, the first and second walls defining a mount opening.
12. The fan mount of claim 1 , wherein the enclosed compressible cavity comprises at least two front ports and at least two rear ports, wherein the enclosed compressible cavity connects the at least two front ports and the at least two rear ports.
13. A fan mount, comprising:
an enclosed compressible cavity, wherein the enclosed compressible cavity comprises a first end, a second end, a bottom side, a top side, and a front side, and wherein a first pee is attached to the first end of the enclosed compressible cavity and a second peg is attached to the second end of the enclosed compressible cavity and wherein a cross-section of the enclosed compressible cavity traverses uninterrupted between the first peg and the second peg; and
a pin extending from the bottom side.
14. The fan mount of claim 13 , wherein the first end is opposite the second end.
15. The fan mount of claim 13 , wherein the pin includes a narrow portion attached to the bottom side and a conical portion attached to the narrow portion.
16. The fan mount of claim 15 , wherein the conical portion includes a top portion having a diameter greater than a diameter of the narrow portion.
17. The fan mount of claim 15 , wherein the pin defines a pin opening extending from the conical portion to the narrow portion.
18. The fan mount of claim 13 , further comprising a front port disposed on the front side, a rear port disposed on a rear side, wherein the compressible cavity connects the front port to the rear port.
19. The fan mount of claim 13 , wherein the first and second ends are each arranged to move toward the other of the first and second ends.
20. The fan mount of claim 13 , wherein the first peg is arranged to engage a first opening and the second peg is arranged to engage a second opening in a fan housing.
