Abstract
A removable elastomeric blade hub and switch housing plate adapter for a ceiling fan to facilitate replacement of the blade hub are disclosed. The fan comprises a motor, a motor shaft, a wire-way tube carried by the motor shaft and a wire termination receptacle connected to the ends of the motor leads carried within the wire-way tube. The elastomeric blade hub has a boss with a bore through the center thereof sized to receive the wire receptacle and the shaft. The hub boss has a set screw on the side thereof to removably secure the blade hub to the shaft. A switch housing adapter plate is removably connected to the wire-way tube beneath the blade hub such that if replacement of the elastomeric hub is required, the switch housing adapter plate and hub may readily be removed from the wire way and from this motor shaft without removing the securement hardware, cutting the leads, or removing the receptacle from the leads.
