Abstract: A lighting fixture for use in applications subject to vibrations, such as ceiling fans, the lighting fixture including a socket to accommodate a light bulb, a fixture body to accommodate the socket and house an electrical connection provided to the socket, and a vibration damping member provided between the fixture body and socket to absorb at least a portion of vibrations transferred from the fixture body.

Abstract: A lighting assembly for a ceiling fan, the ceiling fan having an attachment interface having an electrical connection for powering an external assembly, the lighting assembly including a housing configured to be connected to and supported by the attachment interface of the ceiling fan, a plurality of lighting arms extending from the housing and provided with a socket to receive a light bulb, the socket being configured to be in electrical communication with the electrical connection of the ceiling fan, and an auxiliary connection provided at a side of the housing to provide power to an external device coupled to the housing.

Abstract: A lighting and heating assembly is provided. The lighting and heating assembly is configured for mounting to an existing ceiling fan. The lighting and heating assembly includes a lighting assembly for distributing light and a heating assembly for providing heat to the air circulated by the ceiling fan. The lighting assembly is attachable to the ceiling fan and has the heating assembly detachably connected thereto, which allows the lighting assembly to be used without the heating assembly. Additionally, the lighting and heating assembly is adjustable such that the lighting assembly and/or heating assembly are repositionable at desired locations in relation to one another and the air flow generated by the ceiling fan.

Abstract: An apparatus for distributing heated air to an environment comprises a ceiling fan assembly secured to a heating assembly. The ceiling fan assembly comprises a plurality of rotatable blades arranged substantially in a horizontal plane to drive airflow in a desired direction when the blades are rotated. The heating assembly comprises a heating element and a power supply for energizing the heating element to produce heat, whereby air driven by the ceiling fan contacts the heating element and passes into the environment. A lighting assembly and a guard may be included.

Abstract: A light assembly for securing to a ceiling fan. The light assembly includes a plurality of support arms, the first ends of which are secured to the ceiling fan via a securing device. A fixture is secured to the second end of each of the support arms for supporting a halogen bulb which is resistant to the effects of the heat emitted by a halogen bulb.

Abstract: A light assembly for securing to a ceiling fan. The light assembly includes a plurality of support arms, each defining a first end and a second end, and a securing device to which the first ends are secured. The securing device is securable to a ceiling fan. Each of the second ends carries an illuminating unit such as an incandescent, fluorescent or halogen bulb. The support arms are telescopic such that the distance the second end extends from the securing device is adjustable. Moreover, the second end is pivotable such that the direction in which the illuminating unit points is controllable.

Abstract: An improved display rack (10) which is supported by existing facilities such as existing shelving (44), an existing suspended ceiling (50) or the floor (48). The improved display rack (20) provides a rotatable display unit (20) and a securing assembly (36) for securing the improved display rack (10) to the existing facilities. The improved display rack (10) may be used to display such things as ceiling fan pulls, postcards, greeting cards, key chains, and comic books. The improved display rack (10) can provide a hinge (70) such that the rotatable display unit (20) can be pivoted away from the existing facility.

Abstract: An improved display rack (10) which allows the use of a pivotable display unit (16) with existing display facilities such as existing shelving (54) or an existing suspended ceiling (62). The improved display rack (10) may be used to display such things as ceiling fan pulls, postcards, greeting cards, keychains, and comic books. The improved display rack (10) comprises a pivotable display unit (16), a lower supporting member (12), and an upper stabilizing member (14). The lower supporting member (12) is attached, at one end, to a bottom portion of the pivotable display unit (16) and, at the other end, engages either a supporting surface, such as the floor, or is attached to the existing shelving (54). The upper stabilizing member (14) is attached, at one end, to the top of the pivotable display unit (16) and, at the other end, is secured either to an existing suspended ceiling (62) or to existing shelving (54).

Abstract: A compact instantaneous-type electric water heater for household and commercial use provides hot water at a rate of at least five gallons per minute and includes a plurality of individual heating chambers connected in series flow relationship between a cold water inlet and a hot water outlet. A metallic mixing coil is disposed in series between each adjacent pair of chambers to promote even heating. The chambers are provided with electric heating elements having a combined wattage of at least thirty-thousand (30,000) watts. The heating elements are energized by a flow switch only at the time hot water is demanded and are controlled by an adjustable thermostat which sets the outlet water temperature and by a high temperature safety switch limiting outlet water temperature should the thermostat fail.
