Abstract
A ceiling fan brace bracket assembly with a bracket, at least two holes, at least one first screw, and at least one second screw. The bracket has a channel that opens toward a bottom of the bracket and at least one lip that extends along the channel. The channel is sized and shaped to extend around a ceiling fan brace. The at least two holes extend through the at least one lip, and each of the at least two holes is configured to align with a corresponding screw hole in an electrical box. The at least one first screw is a press-fit screw and is configured to extend downward through a first hole of the at least two holes. The at least one second screw is configured to extend upward through a second hole of the at least two holes.
Claims20
A ceiling fan brace bracket assembly, comprising:
- a bracket having a channel opening toward a bottom of the bracket and at least one lip extending along the channel, the channel having two sides, wherein the two sides of the channel are angled inward from a base of the channel toward the bottom of the bracket such that the channel is narrower adjacent the bottom of the bracket than at the base of the channel, the channel sized and shaped to extend around a ceiling fan brace;
- at least one hole extending through the at least one lip, the at least one hole configured to align with a corresponding screw hole in an electrical box;
- and
- at least one screw configured to extend through the at least one hole and align the at least one hole with the corresponding screw hole, wherein the at least one screw is a press-fit screw configured to dig into and deform the bracket.
