Abstract
A T-shaped fan blade arm attachment is disclosed for securing ceiling fan blades to a rotor of a ceiling fan motor. The fan blade arms have T-shaped ends with an elastomeric ring disposed adjacent the T-shapes ends. A mounting bracket has mounting holes with opposed slots for receiving the T-shaped ends of the fan blade arms. The opposed slots are preferably aligned at an angle to the horizontal when mounted to a ceiling fan motor. The mounting bracket has a flat surface exteriorly disposed on the mounting bracket adjacent to respective ones of the mounting holes. The mounting bracket has two cams with lock grooves disposed on interior surfaces of the mounting bracket, adjacent to respective ones of the mounting holes. The T-shaped ends insert into the mounting holes and are rotated to guide the T-shaped ends of the fan blade arms into the lock grooves.
