A fan apparatus comprising:

• a fan device having fan blades;
• a motor for rotating said fan device, said motor having a rotatable output shaft projecting from one end of said motor and on which said fan device is mounted;
• a fan support structure capable of supporting both said fan device and said motor and forming an opening for passage of an airflow through said fan device, said support structure including a support member defining said opening and two substantially similar support brackets connected to motor mounting surfaces on opposite sides of said motor and extending between said motor and said support member such that the motor is extended away from the support member, each support bracket being formed from one integral metal piece and comprising a central section connected to its respective motor mounting surface by means of fasteners and two substantially similar wing sections extending from opposite ends of said central section,
• whereby each wing section forms an obtuse angle with said central section and is detachably connected to said support member at an outer end of the wing section.
