Abstract: A ceiling fan having a motor assembly that can be secured to a structure, for example, by a downrod and a hanger bracket assembly. A light kit can optionally be carried by the motor assembly. The motor assembly can include a housing to which can be integrated or attached to a blade hub. Blades for the ceiling fan can be mounted to the blade hub.

Abstract: A ceiling fan having a dual redundant motor mounting assembly for suspending a motor comprising a downrod, a hollow motor shaft suspending the motor from the downrod, a retaining pin extending through the hollow motor shaft, and a retaining rod coupled to the retainer pin for redundantly suspending the motor.

Abstract: A ceiling fan including a retention system and method of redundantly retaining a ceiling fan can include a ceiling fan motor assembly including a hollow motor shaft at least partially surrounded by a motor housing. A retainer plate is provided at the bottom of the motor housing including an opening. A retainer rod extends through the opening in the retainer plate and secures to the retainer plate. A support cable couples to the retainer rod to suspend the retainer plate from a structure, wherein the retainer plate is configured to redundantly retainer the ceiling fan.

Abstract: A ceiling fan mount assembly having a downrod assembly with a downrod and a motor assembly comprising motor and including a motor shaft. The ceiling fan mount assembly further includes a downrod plate coupled to the downrod and a shaft coupler coupled to the motor shaft and coupled to the downrod plate, whereby coupling the downrod plate to the shaft coupler suspends the motor from the downrod.

Abstract: A ceiling fan hanger assembly includes a mount plate with a pair of plate extensions and a downrod having a pair of spaced downrod extensions. A connector bracket pivotally couples to the plate extensions to define a first pivot axis and pivotally couples to the downrod extensions to define a second pivot axis different than the first pivot axis.

Abstract: A ceiling fan assembly including a stator assembly having a non-rotating motor shaft and stator slidably and non-rotationally coupled to the non-rotating motor shaft, a rotor assembly, a first bearing slidably mounted to the non-rotating motor shaft and rotatably coupling the rotor assembly to the stator assembly, and a first spacer located between the first bearing and the stator assembly to fix the sliding location of the first bearing relative to the stator along the non-rotating motor shaft.

Abstract: A ceiling fan comprising a motor having a rotating blade hub and a downrod mount. The ceiling fan also has multiple blades mounted to the rotating blade hub. The downrod has an upper end configured to mount to a structure and a lower end with a mount motor. The ceiling fan also has multiple studs provided in one of the downrod mount or the motor mount and corresponding openings provided in the other of the downrod mount or the motor mount. The studs are received within the openings to aid in securing the downrod to the motor assembly.

Abstract: A ceiling fan assembly an upper motor housing, a lower motor housing, and a magnet seat formed in a portion of the upper and lower housing configured to seat a rotor comprising one or more magnets and mount the rotor to the upper and lower motor housings.

Abstract: A ceiling fan assembly a motor assembly having a non-rotating, hollow, motor shaft, a stator winding carried by the motor shaft, a wiring harness passing through the hollow of the motor shaft and electrically coupled to the stator winding.

Abstract: A system and kit for securing a high-volume low speed (HVLS) fan that secures the control panel to a structural support member and is in turn attached to a mount member. An extension tube extends between and is secured to the mount member and a fan motor shaft. The placement of the control panel near the HVLS system reduces the potential for inadvertent access to the control panel when placed closer to ground level. Inadvertent access can yield to electrocutions and create a fire hazard. Additionally, the aesthetics are greatly improved when the control panel is in alignment with the HVLS supporting structural members.

Abstract: A ceiling fan mount assembly having a downrod assembly with a downrod and a motor assembly comprising motor and including a motor shaft. The ceiling fan mount assembly further includes a downrod plate coupled to the downrod and a shaft coupler coupled to the motor shaft and coupled to the downrod plate, whereby coupling the downrod plate to the shaft coupler suspends the motor from the downrod.

Abstract: A ceiling fan comprising a motor system. The motor system is mounted around a motor shaft. The motor shaft couples to a downrod for suspending the ceiling fan from a structure. The motor shaft and motor are encased by a motor housing. The motor housing comprises hub arms for mounting a plurality of blade holders. The blade holders coupled to a plurality of blades rotatable about the motor during operation. The downrod comprises a wire disk mounting guy wiring to the downrod. A retention rod is utilized internal of the motor and downrod as a secondary retention method. An electrical connector is internal of the motor shaft and electrically couples to the stator to power the motor.

Abstract: A ceiling fan assembly including a non-rotating motor shaft with an upper and lower bearing stop, a stator mounted to the non-rotating motor shaft, a rotor surrounding the stator, a motor housing having an upper bearing seat spaced above the upper bearing stop and a lower bearing seat spaced below the lower bearing stop, an upper bearing seated within the upper bearing seat, a lower bearing seated within the lower bearing seat, and a downrod coupling provided on the non-rotating shaft. When the ceiling fan assembly is suspended from a structure with the downrod coupling, the weight of the rotor presses the upper bearing against the upper bearing stop such that the weight of the rotor is transferred through the upper bearing to the non-rotating shaft.
