  • The present disclosure relates generally to a ceiling fan motor housing.[0001]
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a ceiling fan having a motor housing according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. [0002]
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the ceiling fan. [0003]
  • FIG. 3 is a top perspective view of a bracket. [0004]
  • FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the bracket. [0005]
  • FIG. 5 is a bottom perspective view of a frame of the ceiling fan motor housing. [0006]
  • FIG. 6 is a bottom perspective view of a frame according to an alternative embodiment. [0007]
  • FIG. 7 is a bottom perspective view of a frame according to yet another alternative embodiment.[0008]
    • DESCRIPTION
  • Referring to FIG. 1, a [0009] ceiling fan 1 is illustrated. The ceiling fan 1 has a motor housing 10.
  • The [0010] housing 10 covers a conventional ceiling fan motor 12. It is understood that the ceiling fan motor 12 has a down rod 13 for attaching the ceiling fan motor to a ceiling (not depicted). The ceiling fan motor 12 also has associated conventional blade irons 14 and conventional ceiling fan blades 15. It is understood that for purposes of simplicity, individual components that are substantially the same, such as each of the blade irons 14 or each of the blades 15, are given a single reference number when discussed in this specification.
  • As illustrated, the [0011] ceiling fan motor 12 is mounted upside down from the conventional orientation to allow the blade irons 14 and ceiling fan blades 15 to protrude above the housing 10. However, in another embodiment (not depicted) the ceiling fan motor is mounted in the conventional orientation.
  • The [0012] housing 10 comprises a cover 16, at least a portion of which is translucent for reasons to be described. The cover 16 is disposed adjacent to a base 18.
  • The [0013] base 18 has a decorative feature 20 associated with it. Although the decorative feature 20 is illustrated as a tassel, it is understood that all of the decorative features normally associated with lighting fixtures, such as finials, cross bars, arms, rings, balls, flutes, and the like are contemplated.
  • Referring now to FIGS. [0014] 1-2, a frame 22 is disposed beneath the cover 16. The frame 22 supports the cover 16, and thus defines the shape of the housing 10, as will be discussed in greater detail with reference to FIG. 5. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the frame 22 imparts an octagonal shape to the housing 10.
  • The [0015] frame 22 rests on the base 18, and a bracket 24 attaches the frame 22 to the ceiling fan motor 12, as will be discussed in greater detail with reference to FIG. 3. In an alternative embodiment, the base 18 is omitted, and solely the bracket 24 attaches the frame 22 to the ceiling fan motor 12. In this embodiment (not depicted), a conventional light diffuser, such as a plastic disk (not depicted), may be placed up inside the frame 22.
  • A conventional [0016] remote control unit 26 is disposed adjacent to the bracket 24 for controlling the ceiling fan motor 12. Likewise, a conventional lighting fixture, generally denoted by the reference number 28, is disposed adjacent to the remote control 26. The lighting fixture 28 provides illumination through the translucent cover 16.
  • A [0017] rod 30 extends from the ceiling fan motor 12 to engage a receiver 18 a of the base 18. In one embodiment, the rod 30 is a conventional down rod, which is disposed upside down from the conventional orientation due to the above-described illustrated orientation of the motor 12.
  • Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the [0018] bracket 24 has a central bore 31, which allows the bracket to be affixed to the rod 30. A plurality of arms 32 extend outward from the area defining the bore 31 to surround the motor 12. Each of the arms has an upwardly bent portion 32 a, the distal end of the portion engaging the frame 22.
  • The [0019] bracket 24 has an attachment point, such as a bore 34, for allowing mechanical engagement between the bracket and the remote control unit 26, and an attachment point, such as a bore 36, for allowing mechanical engagement between the bracket and the frame 22.
  • Referring now to FIG. 5, the [0020] frame 22 comprises a set of lateral members 42 a-d. The lateral members 42 a-d determine the radial cross section of the housing 10 (FIG. 1), for example, the lateral members impart an octagonal shape to the housing in this embodiment.
  • The lateral members [0021] 42 a-d are longitudinally spaced apart by a plurality of vertical bars 44 a-c. The vertical bars 44 a-c determine the axial cross section of the housing 10. Generally, the vertical bars 44 a-c are curved or straight, depending on the desired shape of the housing 10, as will be discussed. The vertical bars 44 a extend between lateral members 42 a and 42 b. The vertical bars 44 b extend between lateral members 42 b and 42 c. The vertical bars 44 c extend between lateral members 42 c and 42 d.
  • Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, the inwardly curved [0022] vertical bars 44 a and 44 c engender concave portions of the cover 16, when taken in an axial section, whereas the straight vertical bars 44 b engender a flat portion of the cover 16, when taken in an axial section.
  • As noted above, the main purpose of the lateral members and vertical bars is to impart a predetermined shape to the [0023] housing 10, although at least some of the lateral members have a structural function, for example, lateral member 42 d rests on the base 18, while the lateral member 42 a engages the bracket 24.
  • In a first embodiment, the cover [0024] 16 (FIG. 1) is a textile, such as silk, which is attached to the frame 22. As the cover 16 (FIG. 1) is stretched across the frame 22, the lateral members 42 a-d and vertical bars 44 a-c will appear to partition the cover into contiguous panels.
  • In a second embodiment, the cover [0025] 16 (FIG. 1) is a textile that is affixed to a backing such as styrene with a conventional adhesive to form panels of a convenient size, which are then attached to the frame 22.
  • In a third embodiment, the cover [0026] 16 (FIG. 1) is a natural or synthetic film.
  • In a fourth embodiment, the cover [0027] 16 (FIG. 1) is paper.
  • In operation, the [0028] housing 10, comprising the cover 16 and the frame 22, is attached to the bracket 24, thereby covering the motor 12.
  • Referring to FIG. 6, a [0029] frame 60 comprises a set of lateral members 62 a-d longitudinally spaced apart by a plurality of vertical bars 64 a-c. The vertical bars 64 a extend between lateral members 62 a and 62 b, the vertical bars 64 b extend between lateral members 62 b and 62 c, and the vertical bars 64 c extend between lateral members 62 c and 62 d. As described above, the main purpose of the lateral members and vertical bars is to impart a predetermined shape, in this case round when taken in a radial cross section, to a housing (not depicted).
  • In operation, a housing comprising the [0030] cover 16 and the frame 60, is attached to the bracket 24, thereby covering the motor 12.
  • Referring to FIG. 7, a [0031] frame 70 comprises a set of lateral members 72 a-d longitudinally spaced apart by a plurality of vertical bars 74 a-c. The vertical bars 74 a extend between lateral members 72 a and 72 b, the vertical bars 74 b extend between lateral members 72 b and 72 c, and the vertical bars 74 c extend between lateral members 72 c and 72 d. As previously described, the main purpose of the lateral members and vertical bars is to impart a predetermined shape, in this case square when taken in a radial cross section, to a housing (not depicted).
  • In operation, a housing comprising the [0032] cover 16 and the frame 70, is attached to the bracket 24, thereby covering the motor 12.
  • Although only a few exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many other modifications are possible without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims. [0033]
