ABSTRACT:
A ceiling fan (12) is suspended from a mounting bracket (40) by a down rod (32) and a canopy (42) is provided for concealing the mounting bracket (40). The canopy (42) has a lower end (52) with apertures (56, 58) for mounting the ceiling fan (12) directly to the canopy (42) in alternative mounting configurations. A cover (44) is provided for concealing the apertures (56, 58) in the canopy (42). The cover (44) has a collar (102) which extends through a down rod opening (54) in the canopy (42), and has a plurality of protuberances (104) which secure the cover (44) to the lower end (52) of the canopy (42) in a snap engagement. A lip portion (100) upwardly extends from the cover (44) to provide a spacer for locating the protuberances (104) adjacent to an upper side of the lower end (52) of the canopy (42).
