Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented mechanism for attaching a ceilings-mounted panel with a ceiled fan motor' housings without requiring any tools or parts needed are improved efficiency and ease of installation compared to traditional ways by reducing time required during assembly process.

Problems solved by technology

This patented problem addressed in this patents relates to installing ceilage fans due to difficulties attaching them safely when they shouldn’t. Current methods involve holding down multiple tools at once, making assembly process longer than necessary. Additionally, there may be safety concerns associated with the use of screw-type fastening devices because they can easily lose themselves. Therefore, an objective solution needs to address both issues simultaneover effectively.

Abstract

Mechanisms, devices, apparatus, systems and methods of installing ceiling fan motor housings to ceiling mounted plates without using loose fasteners such as screws, and the like. A plate having a plurality of slots about the perimeter can be pre-mounted to a ceiling. A motor housing having clips on interior perimeter edges of the base can be positioned so that the clips are inserted into the slots. Next, the motor housing can be twisted clockwise until the clips lock to the slots allowing the ceiling fan motor to be hung without any loose fasteners. The twist-lock eliminates unsightly fasteners, such as screws underneath the housing, quickens installation time, and is easier and safer than traditional ceiling fan installation techniques.
