A ceiling fan assembly 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 canopy. The canopy can be received by a mounting bracket to enclose the mounting hardware near the ceiling.

Ceiling fan mounting assembly

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 comprising multiple assemblies, which, can comprise multiple components. A quick connector can be provided for securing together the multiple assemblies and/or the multiple components.

Ceiling fan with quick connection

A ceiling fan assembly for mounting to a structure, the ceiling fan assembly comprising: a motor having a rotor assembly, which rotates about a rotational axis, and a stator assembly that is stationary relative to the rotational axis; at least one blade assembly having a root assembly; and a connector assembly comprising: a pocket carried by the rotor assembly, a tab carried by the at least one blade assembly and received within the pocket, and a tensioner to secure the tab within the pocket.

Ceiling fan with quick-connect blade connector

Ceiling fan with canopy mounting assembly

A ceiling fan assembly having a motor housing with at least one blade iron. At least one blade extending from a root to a tip, and having a set of multiple, spaced, through openings at the root. A snap-fit connector securing the at least one blade to the blade iron and comprising a first element and a second element, spaced from the first element to define an insertion path for the root of the blade.

Ceiling fan with snap-fit connector

A quick connect mounting assembly for a ceiling fan. The quick connect mounting assembly includes two releasably attachable mounts that are easily interconnected to mechanically couple elements of a ceiling fan. The quick connect mounting assembly can be used to mount at least two elements of the ceiling fan, including a ceiling fan switch housing to a ceiling fan motor assembly.

Quick connect assembly for ceiling fan

A quick connect mounting assembly for a ceiling fan. The quick connect mounting assembly includes two releasably attachable plates that are easily interconnected to mechanically couple elements of a ceiling fan. The quick connect mounting assembly can be used to mount a ceiling fan switch housing to a ceiling fan motor assembly.

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.

Ceiling fan motor adapter

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. The electrical connectors may include a jumper for switching between a single- and dual-power supply switch configuration and indicia for identifying the insertion of a wire into a corresponding port. A method of mounting a ceiling fan to a structure having an electrical supply, utilizing the pre-wired downrods and the electrical connectors.

Ceiling fan kit and electrical connector with mounting method

A kit or assembly for a ceiling fan can include a downrod and a set of electrical wires. The downrod can include a sidewall defining an interior. An opening can be provided in the sidewall for accessing the interior. The set of electrical wires can extend through the interior of the downrod, having first and second sets of wire tips, and can be longer than the downrod. An optional electrical connector can be provided on one of the first or second sets of wire tips.
