Preferably, the rod may include a release button, where the release button enables the extension of the telescoping end. Further, the rod may also include a handle.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a ceiling fan blade cover system that provides covers for ceiling fan blades.

Description of Related Art

Ceiling fans are used in various residential homes and other commercial applications in order to circulate air in the room. Ceiling fans extend from the ceiling and include a number of blades that extend from the fan that circulate during operation. One drawback to the use of the ceiling fans is the dust and dirt accumulation on the fan blades of the ceiling fan. Since the fan rotates a considerable amount of dust and dirt may accumulate on the blades during operation. As a result, a user must typically take measures to keep the blades clean. These measures include regular cleaning, dusting, and maintenance of the ceiling fan blades. It would therefore be advantageous to have a system that could address this issue with regard to dust and dirt accumulation on a fan blade of a ceiling fan.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a system for ceiling fan blade protection that includes: a rod, where the rod includes a telescoping end; a fan blade cover, where the fan blade cover is capable of fitting over a ceiling fan blade; and a hook assembly, where the hook assembly attaches to the telescoping end and enables the attachment of the fan blade cover to the ceiling fan blade. Preferably, the rod may include a release button, where the release button enables the extension of the telescoping end. Further, the rod may also include a handle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to an arm extension and system that is used to cover fan blades of ceiling fans to effectively keep the fan blades clean and to make the removal of dust and dirt convenient. The present invention includes an arm extension that has a telescoping extension that allows for an individual to reach ceiling fan blades with a flexible cover attached to a distal end of the arm extension. A cover hook attaches to the cover and allows the individual to slide a flexible cover over each fan blade of the ceiling fan. The hook is attached to the distal end of the arm extension and the arm extension is extended to a suitable length for use with any ceiling fan. The arm extension includes a telescoping portion and a release button that allows for the extension and retraction of the arm extension as needed. A spandex cover is used for the cover of the ceiling fan blade and once placed over the blade it helps to catch the dust and keep the blades clean in a manner that is easily applied in any environment.

In reference to FIG. 1, an arm extension 100 is depicted. This arm extension 100 includes a Cylindrical Rod 35 with a Handle 30. At the distal end of the Rod 35 is a telescoping end 37. A Release Button 32 enables the expansion of the telescoping end 37. This button 32 is depressed to allow for the extension of the telescoping portion of the Rod 35. Once at an appropriate length, a Hook Assembly 20 is applied to a Distal End 37 of the Rod 35 as shown in the FIG. 2. This Hook Assembly 20 attaches to a Fan Blade Cover 50 also shown in FIG. 2 and separately in FIG. 3. Once the Fan Blade Cover 50 secured over a fan blade, the Hook Assembly 20 is removed from the Fan Blade Cover 50 as also shown in FIG. 2. This Hook Assembly 20 allows for the user to place the cover over a ceiling fan blade and then also allows for the removal of the cover as needed for cleaning purposes. The Cylindrical Rod 35 may be extended to various lengths as needed but the Cylindrical Rod 35 clearly provides a means for the user to easily place the Fan Blade Cover 50 over a ceiling fan blade. The instant invention has been shown and described in what it considers to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made there from within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
