ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Normally a ceiling fan is placed in such a manner so that an average consumer/homeowner cannot reach the speed switch nor the reversing switch of the fan. In order to benefit the consumer/homeowner to operate their personal fans in a safe environment, we have designed a Ceiling Fan and Light Control-“STIK” which can reach up to the fan and pull down on the short chain to accommodate the desired fan speed and circulation..Furthermore, if there is a light on the fan, our invention will also be able to turn the light on and off at will by utilizing the Ceiling Fan and Light Control-“STIK”. The Control “STIK” will also allow the consumer/homeowner to change the direction of the fan blades as needed by using the rectangular notch on the side of the “STIK” to slide the switch actuator into the desired operating position.
It can be challenging to try to pull the chain with ones hand but it is most certainly dangerous to try and reach up and pull the chain when the fan is in motion. Our device will allow for the optimum safety of a persons hand and fingers as a person adjusts the control of the individual fan.
By utilizing this Control “STIK”, the consumer/homeowner is allowed to have the ability to set the controls of the ceiling fan with an easy, economical and simple to store utility item. This Control “STIK” can be stored in a nearby closet whether standing on its end or attached to a home utility spring loaded clasp used for brooms or mops.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The Fan and Light Control “STIK” invention is constructed of a long pole which encompasses a heavy gauge wire snare hook at the top end to engage the wire pull chain either for the fan or light control switch. Directly below this snare is an off-set rectangular notch which is located at a 90 degree angle from the snare hook. The rectangular notch is used to change the rotation of the fan by placing the rectangular notch over the actuator of the slide switch and moving the slide switch actuator up or down depending upon the desired direction of the fan blades.
This pole device devise is made to simplify the operation of a consumer/homeowner fan in a safe and secure manner. This pole allows for the safe operation of fans that are installed in homes with ceilings in excess of eight (8) feet without the use of a ladder. The handle of the invention allows the consumer/homeowner the comfort and ease of securing a strong grip while extending the pole in the air. Furthermore, this invention allows the consumer/homeowner the ability to control the rotation of the fan by the use of the slide switch even if extension chains are used to control the fan or light.
