A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240011505A1) describes a ceiling fan assembly with innovative features. The assembly includes a ceiling mount structure, a motor with a rotating blade hub and stationary shaft, an adapter assembly, and an adjustable downrod assembly. The downrod assembly consists of an upper rod connected to the ceiling mount structure and a lower rod connected to the adapter assembly, with at least two fasteners securing the rods together. Importantly, the design allows for a portion of one rod to be received within the other, creating an inner and outer rod configuration, with the fasteners passing through the outer rod to abut the inner rod without entirely penetrating the hollow interior of either rod.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as the hollow nature of the upper and lower rods, the inclusion of a safety cable and electrical wire passing through the rods unobstructed, and the use of set screws or screws as fasteners. The design also allows for the fasteners to be positioned on opposing sides of the rods, with options for different rod configurations such as a telescoping rod with multiple slideable components. The patent emphasizes the secure connection of the rods without compromising the integrity of the hollow interior, showcasing a unique and practical approach to ceiling fan assembly design.
