Abstract: An electric fan assembly has structurally independent motor driven blades module, stand and shaft. The module and stand are mechanically assembled together by two mounting rings that are captured on the shaft. Electrical connections are also made during mechanical assembly with mateable connectors on internal cords.

Abstract: A ceiling fan (10) is provided having a motor (12), a motor housing (13), fan blades (14), and blade irons (16) coupled to the motor and blades. Each blade iron includes a mounting arm (18), a mounting plate (19) and a decorative medallion (20). The mounting arm has a blade attachment portion (23) which has a decorative end (24) with mounting holes (25) therein. The blade iron mounting plate has a middle portion (31) straddled by a first end portion (32) and a second end portion (33). The middle portion and blade each have mounting holes (34) and (36), respectively, therein configured to conform with the mounting holes of the decorative end. The decorative medallion includes a cover plate (37) having a cavity (38) therein partially defined by an interior end wall (40) configured to mate with the first end portion (32) of the mounting plate.
