  • Patent number: 8469560
    Abstract: A light (10) includes a mounting bracket (17) including a top plate (18), a pair of arms (19), and an inner cap (20). The inner cap has a central D-shaped mounting hole (21) and an offset pull chain passage hole (22). A hollow D-shaped nipple (25) is positioned within the D-shaped mounting hole. The light also includes a light diffusor (34) and an outer cap having a central D-shaped mounting hole (37) journalled upon the D-shaped nipple and an offset pull chain passage hole (38). The ceiling fan includes a motor having a pull chain which passes through the pull chain passage holes. Lastly, a hollow finial (40) is threaded onto the nipple to a position abutting the bottom of the outer cap so as to lock the position of the light diffusor and outer cap. The D-shape of the nipple and surrounding mounting holes prevent the nipple from rotating relative to the inner and outer caps.
