Abstract
A light () includes a mounting bracket () including a top plate (), a pair of arms (), and an inner cap (). The inner cap has a central D-shaped mounting hole () and an offset pull chain passage hole (). A hollow D-shaped nipple () is positioned within the D-shaped mounting hole. The light also includes a light diffusor () and an outer cap having a central D-shaped mounting hole () journalled upon the D-shaped nipple and an offset pull chain passage hole (). The ceiling fan includes a motor having a pull chain which passes through the pull chain passage holes. Lastly, a hollow finial () is threaded onto the nipple to a position abutting the bottom of the outer cap so as to lock the position of the light diffusor and outer cap. The D-shape of the nipple and surrounding mounting holes prevent the nipple from rotating relative to the inner and outer caps.
