Abstract: A ceiling fan assembly 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 ceiling fan assembly can include a ceiling fan mount with a dual axis gimble. The dual axis gimble can be received by a mounting bracket so that at least a first and second axis of rotation are provided to the ceiling fan assembly.

Abstract: A ceiling fan assembly comprising a motor, a mount for coupling to a structure and for suspending the motor, and a ceiling fan blade comprising only a blade body for coupling to the motor, wherein the ceiling fan blade is formed from a molded pulp comprising at least one of paper fibers, plant fibers, or wood fibers.

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 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: A plurality ceiling fan kits comprising one or more pre-wired downrods or a set of pre-wired downrods having internal wiring terminating on one or more ends in wire leads made of electrically conductive materials. Different electrical connectors, for use with the ceiling fan kits and pre-wired downrods, are adapted to electrically couple one or more sets of wiring by pushing in the electrically conductive wire leads into a plurality of ports disposed on the electrical connectors.
