Mechanically actuated safety compliant fan finger guard structures and methods

A fan apparatus comprising:

• a fan guard, the fan guard comprising:
• a first lattice, the first lattice comprising a first lattice protrusion;
• a second lattice, the second lattice comprising a second lattice protrusion and a second lattice projection;
• a catch;
• a tensioning element, a first end of the tensioning element operably attached to the first lattice protrusion, a second end of the tensioning element operably attached to the second lattice protrusion, the tensioning element applying a rotational force to the second lattice in a first direction;
• a scissor arm, a first end of the scissor arm operably attached to the first lattice, a second end of the scissor arm operably attached to the second lattice projection;
• and
• a bezel, the bezel comprising:
• a first bezel extension that extends substantially perpendicularly from a face of the bezel, wherein the first bezel extension is configured to rotate the catch;
• and
• a second bezel extension that extends substantially perpendicularly from the face of the bezel, wherein the second bezel extension is configured to rotate a portion of the scissor arm, the second bezel extension is configured to contact and rotate an angled portion of the scissor arm to apply a rotational force to the second lattice in a second direction, moving the second lattice from an alternate position to a first position.
