Benefits of technology

[0014] It is an object of one aspect of the invention to provide a bracket for supporting a motor driving an evaporator fan having a relatively low drag characteristic.
[0015] It is an object of one aspect of the invention to provide a bracket for supporting a motor driving an evaporator fan having a relatively low noise characteristic.
[0016] It is an object of a further aspect of the invention to provide a fan, motor and improved mounting bracket assembly.

Problems solved by technology

Although effective for supporting the evaporator fan and motor assembly, a plate bracket presents a relatively high drag to air flowing into the evaporator fan.
Further, the air flowing past such a relatively large plate mounting bracket may generate an undesirable level of noise.

Abstract

A refrigerated merchandiser (10) includes a cabinet (20) having a top wall (22), a lower wall (24), a rear wall (34), and side walls (36, 38) defining an interior product display space (100) housing a product (110) on shelves (112) in a refrigerated environment intended for selection by consumers. A refrigeration unit cassette (50) is disposed in operative association with the interior product display space in a compartment (55) beneath the lower wall (24). An evaporator fan (63) and its associated fan motor (61) are supported by a bracket (80) having a generally T-shaped body (82) with three legs (85, 87, 89) extending therefrom and mounted to a housing (96) of an evaporator (60) housed within the refrigeration unit cassette (50).
