PURPOSE:To enhance the cooling effect and the dynamic damper effect of a radiator, by fixing a fan shroud to the radiator by the intermediary of a seal member, and mounting a motor-driven fan on a vehicle body elastically by the intermediary of damper members. CONSTITUTION:A pair of flanges 28, 29 are formed on the opposite sides of a plate portion 28a of a fan shroud 28, and a urethane seal member 11 is attached to the circumferential surface of the plate portion 28a of the fan shround 28 on the side of a radiator. On the other hand, foue stays 32 are fixed substantially equiangularly to the outside of a motor-driven fan 31 to extend radially from the same, and the top of each stay 32 is supported on the vehicle body elastically by the intermediary of an insulator 33 made of a vibration-damping rubber. Further, blades 31a of the motor-driven fan 31 are disposed on the inside of a fan cover 28b of the fan shroud 28.
