ABSTRACT:
A hanging bracket is initially secured to an electric outlet box. The hanging bracket includes on one of its ends, two canopy hooks with a screw hole located therebetween. The other end of the hanging bracket includes a single screw hole. A canopy includes two spaced slots shaped and located to receive the two canopy hooks of the hanging bracket. With the canopy hooks extending through the corresponding slots in the canopy, a fan assembly is pivotally mounted on the hanging bracket. It is then possible to connect the lead wires of the outlet box and the wires of the fan assembly. All that is then required is to pivot the canopy with the associated fan assembly about the canopy hooks into a vertical orientation. No additional lifting of the fan assembly independent of the fan assembly being supported by the hanging bracket is required. A single screw is inserted through the canopy into the screw hole in the hanging bracket at the end of the hanging bracket opposite to the end which includes the canopy hooks. There is an automatic alignment between the hole in the canopy and the hole in the hanging bracket when the fan assembly is pivoted into a vertical orientation. As another safety precaution, a second screw is inserted through the screw hole in the canopy and into the screw hole in the hanging bracket located between the two canopy hooks.
