Abstract: A light assembly for mounting to a light to a sloped surface using a hanger bracket and a downrod such that the light is suspended from the hanger bracket via the downrod.

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.

Abstract: An ceiling fan comprising a motor system. The motor system is mounted around a motor shaft. The motor shaft couples to a downrod for suspending the ceiling fan from a structure. The motor shaft and motor are encased by a motor housing. The motor housing comprises hub arms for mounting a plurality of blade holders. The blade holders coupled to a plurality of blades rotatable about the motor during operation. The downrod comprises a wire disk mounting guy wiring to the downrod. A retention rod is utilized internal of the motor and downrod as a secondary retention method. An electrical connector is internal of the motor shaft and electrically couples to the stator to power the motor.

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.

Abstract: A ceiling fan assembly having a motor with a rotor and a stator, at least one blade operably coupled to the stator, a motor shaft extending from the stator and having an internal wire passage and a wire opening in a side of the motor shaft, with the wire opening providing access to the internal wire passage, a control mounting plate having a motor shaft opening through which the motor shaft extends and an electronic control unit carried by a side of the control mounting plate.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or ceiling fan assembly can include a motor to rotatably drive a set of fan blades. The set of fan blades are attached to the motor via a blade iron, which mounts the blades to a rotating rotor of the motor. A grommet is provided within holes of the blades, between the blade and a fastener, to reduce vibration and improve dampening at the junction between the blades and the motor. Multiple flanges are formed at the end of each grommet. The multiple flanges provide for improved compressibility to improve ease of installation, which resisting sliding of the grommet from the holes in the blades.

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 fan can include a motor for driving a set of blades to move a volume of air about a space. A cage can be provided to encase the set of blades to protect the fan, as well as permit a volume of air to move through the cage. A mount bracket couples to the cage, and can include a first portion including a first pair of hooks connecting the first portion to the cage, with the first portion including a pair of apertures and an attachment feature, and a second portion including a second pair of hooks connecting the first portion to the cage, with the second portion including a pair of extensions configured to secure to the first portion at the pair of apertures. The attachment feature is configured to couple an accessory to the cage via the mount bracket.

Abstract: This invention relates to a ceiling mounted air circulating apparatus comprising, in combination: a motor; an essentially centrally located radial or axial air impeller; air guiding means; optional airflow enhancement by means of air amplification means; optional centrally located wiring path from an electrical power source to a wiring enclosure suitable for hanging a lighting fixture or chandelier; and decorative embellishments, ail of which are arranged to blend with the architectural style of a space in a manner similar to a decorative ceiling medallion, the plariform of which, when viewed from below may be circular, rectangular, or polygonal. Optionally, the apparatus of the present invention may embody any of the following; heating, cooling, filtration means, positive ion generation means, and/or air sterilization means.
