Abstract
A ceiling fan comprises a motor, a down rod, a hanging ball, and a coupler pin for engaging the upper end of the down rod with the hanging ball. A diverter is installed at the upper end of the down rod to divert the electrical wiring from the fan motor to a non-obstructive position relative to the coupler pin within the down rod.
Claims15
A ceiling fan comprising a downrod for connection to a coupler of a motor by means of a coupler pin, the improvement comprising:
- a diverter for diverting motor wires from the motor to a non-obstructive position relative to the coupler pin.
A ceiling fan comprising a hanger ball for connection to a downrod by means of a coupler pin, the improvement comprising:
- a diverter for diverting motor wires from a motor to a non-obstructive position relative to the coupler pin.
A ceiling fan, comprising in combination:
- a downrod;
- a coupler mounted to a ceiling fan motor;
- a coupler pin for insertion through holes in said downrod and corresponding holes in said coupler for rigidly securing said downrod and said coupler together;
- and
- a diverter for diverting motor wires extending from the ceiling fan motor to a non-obstructive position relative to said coupler pin.
A ceiling fan, comprising in combination:
- a downrod;
- a hanger ball;
- a hanger ball pin for insertion through holes in said downrod and corresponding seats in said hanger ball for rigidly securing said downrod and said hanger ball together;
- and
- a diverter for diverting motor wires extending from a ceiling fan motor to a non-obstructive position relative to said hanger ball pin.
A ceiling fan, comprising in combination:
- a downrod;
- a coupler mounted to a ceiling fan motor;
- a coupler pin for insertion through holes in said downrod and corresponding holes in said coupler for rigidly securing said downrod and said coupler together;
- and
- a diverter for diverting motor wires extending from a hollow motor shaft of a ceiling fan motor to a non-obstructive position relative to said coupler pin.
A ceiling fan, comprising in combination:
- a downrod;
- a coupler mounted to a ceiling fan motor;
- a coupler pin for insertion through holes in said downrod and corresponding holes in said coupler for rigidly securing said downrod and said coupler together;
- and
- a hollow diverter sleeve that is aligned with said holes of said downrod and dimensioned to slidably receive said coupler pin.
