  • Fan locking and disconnection device and related systems
    Patent number: 11231041
    Abstract: Various fan blade locking devices which operate to lock the blades of a fan in place and disconnect power to the fan. The locking device has an actuable bolt that, when in the locked position, extends to and contacts the fan blades and thereby stops the fan blades from turning. Additionally, the bolt has a contact washer coupled thereto such that the contact washer can engage with and disengage from a switch, thereby completing or interrupting a circuit supplying power to the fan, which allows for the locking device to prevent the fan from being actuated while the bolt is in contact with the fan blades.
