摘要

A barrel fan for the heavy duty circulation of air at the floor level consisting of a cylindrical tubular housing having a guarded rotating propeller blade therein. The blade is driven by a belt connected to an electric motor located on the lower exterior portion of the housing preferably shielded by a skirt in ventilating communication with the housing interior for motor cooling purposes. The motor is pivotally mounted and a spring interposed between the motor and housing maintains the tension within the belt.
