Abstract: An apparatus for connecting a downrod to a mounting assembly and a motor housing of a fan. The mounting assembly and the motor housing are capable of receiving a differently sized downrod. The apparatus comprises a pair of adapters. The adapters each have a first end that engages an end of the downrod; a second end that engages either the mounting assembly or the motor housing; and a hollow interior extending between said first and second ends. In one alternative embodiment, the first end receives the downrod and includes: a pair of aligned apertures; and an aperture disposed between the pair of aligned apertures. The second end is threaded and engages either the mounting assembly or the motor housing. The second end includes a pair of aligned apertures on opposite sides thereof. The apparatus also includes a pair of pins to insert through the aligned apertures and a pair of fasteners for securing the downrod within the adapter. In another alternative embodiment, the first end inserts within the downrod.

Abstract: An apparatus for detachable connection of a ceiling fan motor housing to a ceiling mounting assembly. The ceiling fan downrod provides a standardized elongated tube that is connectable to a multitude of ceiling fan housings and assemblies, and provides a universal ground wire connection through a plurality of holes for electrical grounding of the apparatus. The downrod is an elongated tube with a hollow center, having a plurality of pairs of holes near each end of the downrod.
