ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention is related to an improvement in the structure of a connection between a ceiling fan and a lamp.
2. Description of the Prior Art
As shown in
FIG. 1
, the conventional connection between a ceiling fan
10
and a lamp
20
is accomplished by first dismantling a bottom cover
12
from a junction box
11
, locking the bottom cover
12
on the susension tube
21
of the lamp
20
, and then mounting a bell-shaped cover
22
over the suspension tube
21
of the lamp
20
. However, it is necessary to hold the lamp
20
and move it to be close to the bottom of the junction box
11
of the ceiling fan
10
with one hand so as to enable the electrical cords
13
and
23
of the ceiling fan and the lamp
20
to be correctly connected, and then threadedly engage the lamp
20
with the lower portion of the junction box
11
of the ceiling fan
10
, thereby causing much difficulty and inconvenience in operation.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved connection between a ceiling fan and a lamp which can obviate and mitigate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
