ABSTRACT:
An improved structure ceiling fan mount comprised of a suspender frame having a flat mounting plate that is installed onto the ceiling and a carrier fixture with a receptacle extending downward from the center, a suspender rod providing for the suspension and mounting of a ceiling fan and having a hemispherical head section at the top end that is retained in the said carrier fixture, and a mount cover that fits over the circumference of suspender frame. The innovations are that the mounting plate has diametrically aligned and horizontally oriented insertion slots formed in its thick lateral end areas and there is a mounting dimple is formed at the end of each insertion slot. Limit ribs are press formed in alignment with the insertion slots of the mounting plate along the inner diameter of the mount cover and a positioning nib is press formed at the end of each limit rib. Based on this arrangement, the mount cover is rotated onto the circumference of the mounting plate, which causes the limiter ribs and the positioning nibs to become respectively engaged into the insertion slots and the mounting dimples, which permits faster assembly because screws are not required.
