Abstract: A blade for a ceiling fan can include a blade body made from a pulp material. The pulp material can be a unit of pulp in the shape of the blade body. The unit of pulp can be compressed, thermoformed, or stamped. The blade body can be a single or multiple pieces, like an upper and lower half. A skeleton can be located between the upper and lower halves. A coating can be applied to the blade body to reduce friction and/or for waterproofing.

Abstract: Ceiling fans suspended from a structure have a motor to drive blades for moving a volume of air about an area. The motor, with a rotor and stator, can be electrically coupled to the structure. Blades mount to the rotor such that the blades are rotatably driven by the motor. A motor case can mount to the rotor and encase the stator.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. A blade iron can couple the blades to the motor. A connection assembly provides for connecting the ceiling fan blade to the blade iron. The connection assembly provides for aligning the blade with a set of fingers and can slide from a first position to a second position to secure the blade to a blade iron.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. A connector can be used to connect the blade to a blade iron to mount the blade to the motor. The connector can include a set of receptacles configured to insert into openings on the blade, with the set of receptacles connected by a set of arms. A set of mount posts on the blade iron can seat within the receptacles to mount the blade to the blade iron.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or ceiling fan includes a body defining an interior passage having an inlet and an outlet provided on the body. The inlet, outlet, and interior passage can be annular. An impeller is mounted within the interior passage and driven by a motor mounted within the body to draw a volume of air through the interior passage from the inlet to the outlet. A movable deflector including an inner angled surface and a lower angled surface is provided at the outlet to direct the airflow in a generally outward or generally downward direction, respectively.

Abstract: A ceiling fan includes a motor housing and a motor enclosed by the motor housing. A set of blades can extend from the motor housing and be operably coupled to the motor. The motor can include a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The motor housing can include an upper housing and a lower housing.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or blade thereof can include a fan motor for rotating the blade. The blade can include an airfoil body having an outer surface extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and a root and a tip. The blade can be separated into three distinct cross sections including a first cross section as a lifting cross section, a second cross section as a flat cross section, and a third cross section as a transition section between the first and second cross sections.

Abstract: Ceiling fans typically include a motor including a rotor and a stator, blades, a downrod, and a mounting assembly for suspending the fan from a structure. The mounting assembly includes fasteners and brackets to secure the ceiling fan to the structure. The bracket receiving the downrod is fastened to a plate that is secured to the ceiling.

Abstract: A blade for a ceiling fan can include a first half and a second half formed from a pulp material. The first half is attachable to the second half to form the blade. Additionally, a blade can include a skeleton with an over molding made from a pulp forming the blade. Furthermore, a blade can be formed using a blade base with a pulp topper added to the blade to form an aerodynamic shape for the blade.

Abstract: A ceiling fan blade moves air about a space, driven by the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan blade can include an upper surface and a lower surface spanning a root and a tip, and a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade can include a first curved portion along the leading edge and a second curved portion along the trailing edge. The first and second curved portions can include convex upper surfaces and concave lower surfaces, with a flat portion spacing the first and second curved portions.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. The blade can include a body having an outer surface with a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface, and a side edge. A performance feature can be included in the body to improve efficiency. Due to manufacturing distortions, an offset can exist between the performance feature and other parts of the body. A transition portion can be formed at the offsets to remedy inefficiencies resultant of these distortions.

The blade can include a body with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side edge. A performance feature can be included in the body between the upper surface and the side edge, or the lower surface and the side edge to improve efficiency. The performance feature can be tailored to the particular blade edge, shape, or intended rotational direction to increase efficiency.

Abstract: A motor adapter assembly can couple a motor shaft for a ceiling fan motor to a downrod. The motor adapter assembly can include a base plate, a cradle with arms extending through the base plate, and a threaded bushing secured between the arms of the cradle. Threading a cap to the threaded bushing can be used to pivot the downrod between an upright position and a pivoted position.
