Abstract
A top cover, motor, fan and fan shroud for an air conditioning unit are assembled into an integrated structure with motor supporting legs which attach to the top cover and cause the shroud to be drawn against the cover. The legs connect with the shroud in a manner serving to preserve the concentricity of the shroud, and attach to the inside of a band which can be tightened to assure containment of the motor in a defined position under the shroud and vented portion of the cover.
