Abstract
Abstract To prevent the generation of noise from axial oscillations of the fan wheel on electric machinery, especially motors and generators in motor vehicles, the fan wheel is composed of a support assembly consisting of a plurality of adjacent metal discs or rings, surrounded by a preferably molded plastic fan circle in which the fan blades are embedded. The component discs of the support assembly may be of different thickness to provide different natural resonant frequencies, thereby further suppressing axial oscillations.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A fan wheel for electrical machinery, especially generators used in motor vehicles, including an inner support assembly mounted on the shaft of the generator an outer fan ring supported by said support assembly, and wherein said support assembly is composed of a plurality of mutually adjacent component parts which comprise a disc-like portion and coplanar exterior rings adjacent said disc-like portion and positioned adjacent one another along their radial periphery, said exterior rings as well as the outer region of said disc-like portion being completely surrounded by molded plastic material constituting said fan ring (1) and wherein said fan ring (1) is distinct from and joined to said support assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A fan wheel for electrical machinery, especially generators used in motor vehicles, including an inner support assembly mounted on the shaft of the generator an outer fan ring supported by said support assembly, and wherein said support assembly is composed of a plurality of mutually adjacent component parts which comprise a disc-like portion and coplanar exterior rings adjacent said disc-like portion and positioned adjacent one another along their radial periphery, said exterior rings as well as the outer region of said disc-like portion being completely surrounded by molded plastic material constituting said fan ring (1) and wherein said fan ring (1) is distinct from and joined to said support assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
