ABSTRACT:
A ceiling fan has a downrod assembly with an upper end adapted to be mounted to a ceiling and a lower end adapted to be mounted to a motor. A motor is mounted to the lower end of the downrod assembly. A set of fan blades is fastened to the motor. A substantially flat metal top has a central opening through which the downrod assembly extends. The metal top is fastened to a flange on the lower end of the downrod assembly. An annular cylindrical glass sidewall has an upper circumferential edge adapted to mate a circumferential portion of the metal top. A substantially flat glass bottom is integrally joined to a lower edge of the sidewall. The glass bottom has a central opening through which the fan blades of the ceiling fan extend. Elongate fasteners extend through holes in the metal top and through holes in the glass bottom and secure the integrally joined sidewall and bottom to the metal top wherein a translucent ceiling fan housing is formed.
