Such mounting brackets or covers typically include a slotted opening extending from the outer edge to the center thereof that is adapted to receive and retain the top end of the boom that is normally terminated by a ball joint. When installing the system with a bracket, the slotted mounting bracket is mounted directly or indirectly to the ceiling, at the location where the ceiling fan assembly is expected to be connected to the current source. The boom is positioned within the slotted opening, wherein the ball joint is positioned above the slotted opening such that the boom can slide along the slotted opening to the mounting (four) heart' and then lowered to cause the ball to rest on the mounting bracket. Therefore, the hoisting weight is supported by the mounting bracket by the ball joint. Then connect the ceiling fan to the power cord inside the ceiling and the inside of the ceiling. Install and wire the ceiling fan assembly. The cover depends on the motor casing or above, and the center is extended. After wiring is complete, manually place the cover :: and mount it to the mounting bracket to hide the mounting bracket and wire harness from view. #When using the 盍 盍 installation system Install the cover directly or indirectly to the ceiling, in the same way as the previous reference installation bracket description 128734.doc 200900588, :: at the installation location with the current source. The boom is then placed in the mouth of the hood 1 and slid to the center of the shank of the hood that is adapted to receive and hold the shank. Therefore, the weight of the ceiling fan assembly is cut by the cover by a ball joint. Through the slot in the cover, open the σ construction fan assembly wiring to the 夭„ this & + ώ female in the person will hang the mouth and form a complete = wire. Then install the cover to cover the opening = sill installation system may The spherical joint and the mounting bracket may cause the ceiling fan to sway. These gaps may be caused by a slight difference between the head and the shape or size of the piercing bracket or cover. A preferred embodiment is a mounting system in which a ball joint disk is mounted with a pallet or a cover. Therefore, it is intended to provide such a mounting system. s main [invention] In a preferred form of the invention, a cover for a plurality of blades and hangers, a mounting system for the surface of the horse. The mounting system is attached to the support to the support surface; the hanger is lightly coupled to the mounting plate and is configured with a flange; and a ball joint, It is coupled to the boom. The +U receives a male configuration for receiving within the hanger receiving flange. The ball joint has a configuration that is configured to receive with the hanger. The surface, deformed ridge. For this configuration , these k changes open ^ A strong fit is formed between the plurality of flanges. W ball joints and hangers are connected to 128734.doc 200900588. [Embodiment] Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a mounting system 10 in a preferred form of the present invention. For the sake of clarity of explanation, the mounting system 10 is shown in an enlarged scale. The mounting system 10 includes a pre-installed upper assembly 12 and a lower suspension assembly 13. The pre-installed upper assembly 12 contains the inside Mounting plate 14 having an annular array of mounting slots 15 and a peripheral rim or flange 16 having threaded mounting holes 17 therein. Upper assembly 12 also includes mounting screws 18 sized and shaped to pass through the mounting slots 15 and into the ceiling c. The upper assembly 12 also includes a hanger or hanger bracket coupled to the mounting plate 14. The frame has two mounting arms 22 and a ladder ball 2 that straddles the bottom end of the mounting arm 22.疋 flange, cradle or nest 23. The spherical fixing flange U has a beveled inwardly facing surface 24. The spherical fixing flange 2 3 also includes an opening 2 6 which allows the boom to be installed therein Pass through, as described more below. - Lower suspension total 13 includes a cover 32 that is attached to the ball joint 31 by means of an axle member supported on the hanger #29. The term ball joint is intended to mean an enlarged portion on the top of the end of the boom indicated by the diagram ^ and is not desired It is limited to the fact that the spherical joint may also comprise a partial sphere, a rectangular or torn circle*, or a symmetrical or asymmetrical structure such as the triangular spherical bUlai" baU mountain (10) (four) shown in U.S. Patent No. M72,054. Hanger (9) The ball joint 31 is fixed to the upper end thereof, and the ceiling fan assembly u is lightly coupled to its lower one-shaped joint 31 configured to be received within the hanger ball fixed 6 edge 2 3 . The edge has a series of vertical shaped ridges 33 From the upper edge of the spherical joint m. In the preferred embodiment, the ridge height is about - apex or angle ((iv)) being external. The ball joint is made of Rhein 128734.doc 200900588, for example, the 101L catalogue of 94V-2, manufactured by E.L DuPont de Nemours and Company, which enables a portion of the ridge 33 to be easily worn or deformed. The cover 32 includes a central ladder flange 35 adapted to receive the hanger ball retaining flange 23 and to be flushly seated against the exterior of the hanger ball retaining flange 23. The lower suspension assembly 13 also includes mounting screws 37 adapted to extend through corresponding slotted mounting holes 38 in the shroud 32 and are threadably threaded

The cover ring % is adapted to be coupled to the top end of the cover 32 to hide the mounting screws from being seen. The ceiling fan assembly u has a motor (not shown), a motor housing 46, fan blades 47 and blade iron 48. Passing through the opening at the lower end of the outer portion of the motor (10), the ceiling fan blade 4 is coupled to the blade iron 48, which in turn is coupled to the motor at a predetermined position depending on the desired number of fan blades 47. Although shown in the preferred embodiment The ceiling fan assembly u has five blade turns, but any number of fan blades can be used as specified by the convention. Therefore, the rotational motion produced by the motor will generate an air ring machine by the rotational motion of the fan blades 47. In order to control the rotational speed of the fan blades 47, the motor has a switch, not shown, which can be conventionally slid by actuation of a drawstring or power controller.

Then, the cover 盍, ' is rotated clockwise so that the head of the screw 37 is positioned in the narrower portion of the mounting hole % and fastened to prevent the cover from falling. The military cover and mounting plate may also include a circular mounting aperture 49 and a screw 50 that further prevents the cover from rotating counterclockwise and thereby disengaging the women's panel. During the operation of the ceiling fan, 'small vibrations and other movements cause the ball joint 31 to move for the hanger ball fixing flange 23. This movement and the weight of the fan itself cause the V-shaped ridge 33 of the ball joint to wear or deform. The term "deformable" as used herein is intended to mean the wear, compression or physical deflection of the ridge. The deformation of the ridges causes the spherical joint to fit tightly into the fixed flange 23, and even corrects some tolerance differences between such objects. The ridge of the preferred embodiment is expected to have a honing buckle, a force of 〇 1 inch, wherein the widening of the ridge results in a reduction in wear. Thus, the ball joint ridge 33 allows for a better fit of the ball joint to the (4) of the retaining flange. The prior art, the change in the turn can be found in the 128734.doc 200900588 ball joint and its receiving portion. Between the flat surfaces of the flat surfaces, the joints are referred to Fig. 4'. Installation system. This: Month, another preferred form shows a ridge 61 having an orientation in the direction of the ball,::, the joint 6 has a vertical orientation in a substantially horizontal flat ridge as described earlier.

As such, the cover can be referred to as a hanger. It can thus be seen that there is now a mounting system for supporting a ceiling fan assembly that compensates for the difference in the tolerance between the ball joint and the spherical (four) fixed flange: it should be understood that 'the patent application scope is not removed. Many modifications may be made to the specific preferred embodiments described herein in the context of the spirit of the invention and the scope of the invention.
