Engine cooling shroud having lead trough and motor lead wire locator associated with lead trough

摘要

A shroud 100 is provided for carrying an electric motor 118 of an engine cooling assembly. The motor 118 has a lead wire assembly 128 to control the operation of the motor. The shroud includes a frame 112 defining an opening 114 there through. A motor mount structure 116 is provided in the opening. A plurality of struts 124 extends in the opening from the frame to the motor mount structure thereby coupling the motor mount structure to the frame. At least one of the struts 124' defines a lead trough 127 constructed and arranged to receive the lead wire assembly of the motor. A resilient locator 130 is associated with the lead trough and is constructed and arranged to guide the lead wire assembly into the lead trough and to maintain the lead wire assembly within the lead trough without applying constant pressure on the lead wire assembly.
