Abstract

An air conditioner comprises an outlet port (18) disposed in a cabinet (10) for guiding and discharging heat-exchanged air to the outside after it is supplied to an outdoor heat exchanger (14) and heat exchanged therein and a fan guard (20) attached to the outlet port (18) for preventing invasion of an object into the inside while securing a ventilation area for the heat-exchanged air. The fan guard (20) is molded integrally using a synthetic resin material and is constituted of a plurality of circular slats (24) disposed concentrically at a predetermined pitch and a plurality of radial slats (25) intersecting the circular slats (24) and disposed radially from the center of the circular slats (24) to the outermost periphery thereof. The radial slats (25) are disposed alternately at every concentric pitch on the concentric circles between the circular slats (24). <IMAGE>
