Fan mounting system

A fan comprising,

• a motor;
• an annular array of blades mounted to said motor;
• a protective housing surrounding said annular array of blades;
• a leg assembly pivotally coupled to said protective housing to enable said fan to be supported upon an underlying surface, said leg assembly adapted to provide rotation of said protective housing about a first axis of rotation;
• a mount adapted to be pivotally coupled to said leg assembly for rotation of said protective housing about a second axis of rotation oriented generally normal to said first axis of rotation.

A fan comprising,

• a motor;
• a blade assembly coupled to said motor;
• a protective housing surrounding said blade assembly;
• a supporting leg assembly having at least one support leg coupled to said protective housing, said leg assembly being coupled to said protective housing to allow pivotal motion of said protective housing about a generally horizontal axis of rotation;
• and
• a mount coupleable to said leg assembly to allow pivotal motion of said leg assembly and said housing about a generally vertical axis of rotation.
