A fan having a rotor with a plurality of fan blades, the fan having an intake and a pressure side. A blocking device between the intake and pressure sides of the fan. The blocking device comprising a strip-like brush element with a plurality of brush sections that extend radially upwardly toward the edge of the rotor. The brush sections are spaced apart from one another along the direction from the intake to the pressure side of the fan. A cross-flow fan has spaced apart brush sections which are spaced apart in the running direction of the fan. An axial flow fan has brush sections which are spaced apart from one another transversely with respect to the running direction. The brush sections in each of the fans may also be as in the other type of fan. The brush sections may define a v-shape extending from a common block or may be in spaced apart rows or may be individual tufts and the tufts may be staggered along the length of the brush.

No: 09/491,412 Application Filed: January 26, 2000 Assignees: LTG Aktiengesellschaft (DEX) Claim: What is claimed is Claim: 1. A fan comprising Claim: a rotor having a plurality of fan blades thereon for rotating with the rotor, the fan having an intake side and an opposite pressure side defined by the orientation of the blades and the direction of rotation of the rotor; Claim: a blocking device disposed between the intake side and the pressure side of the fan, the blocking device comprising a strip-like brush including a plurality of brush sections which are spaced apart from one another along the direction from the intake side to the pressure side of the fan. Claim: 2. The fan of claim 1, wherein the rotor and fan blades comprise a cross-flow fan rotor, and the brush sections are spaced apart from one another in the running direction of the rotor. Claim: 3. The fan of claim 2, further comprising a turbulence former between the intake and pressure sides of the fan, and the blocking device is arranged at the turbulence former. Claim: 4. The fan of claim 2, wherein the brush sections are spaced apart from one another transversely with respect to the running direction of the rotor. Claim: 5. The fan of claim 1, wherein the blades are located and oriented so that upon rotation of the rotor, the rotor is an axial fan rotor; Claim: the brush sections being spaced apart from one another transversely with respect to the running direction of the fan blades. Claim: 6. The fan of claim 5, further comprising a housing around the fan rotor having an aperture therein shaped for receiving the fan rotor therein; Claim: the blocking device, at least in certain areas thereof, provides a surrounding of the periphery of the aperture in which the rotor is contained. Claim: 7. The fan of claim 5, wherein the brush sections are also spaced apart from one another in the running direction of the rotor. Claim: 8. The fan of claim 1, wherein the brush sections are spaced apart from one another transversely with respect to the running direction of the rotor. Claim: 9. The fan of claim 1, wherein the blocking device comprises two spaced apart brush sections. Claim: 10. The fan of claim 1, wherein the brush sections extend parallel to one another along the direction. Claim: 11. The fan of claim 8, wherein the brush sections are oriented to extend at an increasing distance from one another in the radial direction of the brush sections extending toward the rotor. Claim: 12. The fan of claim 1, wherein the brush sections are oriented to extend at an increasing distance from one another in the radial direction of the brush sections extending toward the rotor. Claim: 13. The fan of claim 1, wherein the brush sections are in the form of continuous strips. Claim: 14. The fan of claim 1, wherein the brush sections are strip-like and each section includes a plurality of bristle free zones therealong. Claim: 15. The fan of claim 14, wherein each of the brush sections comprises individual bristle zones and each bristle zone comprises a plurality of bristle tufts and the bristle zones are arranged next to each other in a row. Claim: 16. The fan of claim 1, wherein the bristles in the brush sections have ends which face toward the rotor and the ends of bristles of the brush sections facing toward the rotor are at different distances from the rotor, with some nearer and some further radially from the rotor. Claim: 17. The fan of claim 14, wherein each of the brush sections has respective bristle free zones so positioned along the brush section that a bristle free zone of each brush section lies opposite a zone of the other brush section which has bristles. Claim: 18. The fan of claim 1, wherein the blocking device brush comprises a single row strip brush; Claim: a bristle spreading element applied to the bristles for spreading the bristles to one or the other side of the spreading element, thereby defining the plurality of brush sections. Claim: 19. The fan of claim 1, wherein the bristles are of a material selected from the group consisting of polyamide, metal, natural fibers, and at least one of the foregoing with other materials.
