Abstract
The present invention is a ceiling fan cleaning apparatus comprising a roller cleaner (20) enveloping a central hub (22) and rotatable with respect to the central hub (22), the central hub (22) attached at one end to an elongated member (10), and a first pulley (32) connected fixedly to one end of the roller cleaner (20) and such that rotation of the first pulley (32) causes an equal rotation of the roller cleaner (20), and a second pulley (34) located close to a second end of the elongated member (10) and a chain (36) connecting the first and second pulleys (32, 34). A hand crank (38) is connected to the second pulley (34) so that a user is able to rotate the roller cleaner (20) by turning the hand crank (38).

A ceiling fan cleaning apparatus, comprising:
- an elongated member;
- a roller cleaner enveloping a central hub and rotatable with respect to the central hub, the central hub attached at one end to the elongated member, and at a location close to a first end of the elongated member, wherein the roller cleaner has a width substantially equal to the standard width of a ceiling fan blade, and comprises a pair of circular protrusions at each end of the roller cleaner, the circular protrusions restricting the lateral movement of the roller cleaner to a path substantially within the area of the ceiling fan blade;
- and
- a rotation system selectively operable to rotate the roller cleaner remotely, wherein rotation of the roller cleaner is controllable from a position substantially close to a second end of the elongated member.
A ceiling fan cleaning apparatus comprising:
- an elongated member;
- a roller cleaner enveloping a central hub and rotatable with respect to the central hub, the central hub attached at one end to the elongated member, and at a location close to a first end of the elongated member a pair of brush caps is located at both ends of the roller cleaner respectively to hold the roller cleaner in place;
- and
- a rotation system selectively operable to rotate the roller cleaner, wherein the rotation system comprises a shaft, a gear assembly and a motor, the shaft having one end connected fixedly to one end of the roller cleaner, wherein rotation of the shaft causes a substantially equal rotation of the roller cleaner;
- the gear assembly connected to second end of the shaft;
- and
- the motor connected to the gear assembly to drive the gear assembly, wherein rotation of the gear assembly causes a substantially equal rotation of the shaft.
