Abstract: A two-piece safety mechanism for ceiling-mounted fans comprises a first and second cable. The first cable has a first fastener extending from a first end and a first connector extending from a second end. The first fastener is for operable association with a first fastening mechanism for securing the first cable to a fan. The second cable has a second fastener extending from a first end. The second fastener is for operable association with a second fastening mechanism for securing the second cable to a ceiling support. The second cable also has a second connector extending from a second end, which is releaseably attachable to the first connector to form a continuous cable. The claimed invention also provides for a ceiling fan having the two-piece safety mechanism for retaining the fan in close proximity to the ceiling support if its normal mounting apparatus should fail.

Abstract: The drilling apparatus includes a wire line core barrel head assembly that has a latch body seatable on a drill string landing shoulder and retained in a latch seated position by a latch assembly spring urged to a latch seated position, fluid seals on the latch body to facilitate fluidly propelling the head assembly in an upward direction, valve mechanism in a latch body bypass channel to restrict fluid flow therethrough to provide a signal of the latch body seating on the landing shoulder and then opening together with being retractable to an open position by a latch retractor prior to the latch body being retracted and second valve mechanism to block axial outward flow in the bypass channel. The fluid seals are mounted to a latch body adaptor that may be removed to convert from an up-hole to a down-hole assembly.

Abstract: A blister pack for displaying pull chains which includes a transparent cover member having connecting first, second and third recesses for receiving a pull chain, the second recess having a holding region to lock the chain in place. The package further has a flat base member disposed over the cover member and completely covering the recesses. The cover member and the base member are joined together. A method of displaying pull chains in a display package, wherein the chain of a pull chain is locked into a holding region of a transparent cover member such that the knob of the pull chain is permitted to be displayed in a manner which more realistically portrays the appearance same would have when affixed to a ceiling fan.

Abstract: A fan blade display package includes a first and second overlying transparent shells. Each shell has a major dimension and a minor dimension. A recess is formed in each shell for receiving and conforming to at least a first fan blade. The recesses are disposed in offset relation relative to at least one of the dimensions, so that portions of fan blades in each recess are exposed and may be visually perceived through each of the shells.

Abstract: The core barrel apparatus includes a wire line core barrel inner tube having a latch body main body portion and an inner portion threaded together to cooperatively provide a radial outer groove mounting a landing ring seatable on the drill string landing ring with the latches seatable in the drill string latch seat and a radial inner groove mounting a bushing surrounding the axial bore of the bypass channel for bypassing fluid between portions of the latch body on axial opposite sides of the latch body ring. The valving mechanism in the bore includes the bushing and may include a valve spring axially inwardly of bushing and a valve ball. The valve ball and bushing may be of a resiliency to permit the ball passing through the bushing under fluid pressure or prevent the ball passing through the bushing. Overcenter linkage connected to the latches is retractable by a retractor pin.

Abstract: A package for displaying pull chains and the like includes a first transparent package component having a recess spanning substantially the entirety thereof. The recess has first and second sections and the second section is sized and configured for receipt of an article. A second package component has first and second spaced apart recess sections. The second component second recess section is aligned with the first component second recess section for therewith forming a chamber. An insert is positioned within the first component recess in overlying relation to the second component recess sections. The insert has a capture region for engaging an article having a portion thereof disposed within the chamber for display. The first and second components are secured together.

Abstract: A universal fan blade mounting assembly including an elongated bar having flanges at each end. One of the flanges is shaped to cooperate with one end of a fan blade and the other flange is constructed for attachment to a ceiling fan rotor. The rotor connecting flange includes two holes therein one of the holes is round for encircling a fastening screw. The other hole forms an arcuate slot. The hole and slot cooperate such that the elongated bar extends outwardly from the center of the rotor such that the functional relationship between the fan blade and the rotor may be maintained.
