Hunter Fan Company

A ceiling fan comprising a stationary inner housing defining a first interior, a stationary outer housing that circumscribes at least a portion of the stationary inner housing and defines a second interior, a motor assembly located within the first interior and having a rotor, and a plurality of blades extending between corresponding roots and tips, with the roots coupled to the rotor and the tips extending toward to the outer housing. The tips are coupled to a tip housing that can at least partially be received within a portion of the outer housing. A flow channel is formed between the stationary inner housing and the stationary outer housing.

A ceiling fan includes a motor housing and a motor enclosed by the motor housing. A set of blades can extend from the motor housing and be operably coupled to the motor. The motor can include a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The motor further includes a stationary motor shaft about which the rotor assembly rotates. A bearing rotatably supports the rotor assembly to the stationary motor shaft.

A ceiling fan or ceiling fan includes a body defining an interior passage having an inlet and an outlet provided on the body. The inlet, outlet, and interior passage can be annular. An impeller is mounted within the interior passage and driven by a motor mounted within the body to draw a volume of air through the interior passage from the inlet to the outlet. A movable deflector including an inner angled surface and a lower angled surface is provided at the outlet to direct the airflow in a generally outward or generally downward direction, respectively.

A ceiling fan having a motor assembly that can be secured to a structure, for example, by a downrod and a hanger bracket assembly. A light kit can optionally be carried by the motor assembly. The motor assembly can include a housing to which can be integrated or attached to a blade hub. Blades for the ceiling fan can be mounted to the blade hub.

A ceiling fan assembly having a motor housing with at least one blade iron. At least one blade extending from a root to a tip, and having a set of multiple, spaced, through openings at the root. A snap-fit connector securing the at least one blade to the blade iron and comprising a first element and a second element, spaced from the first element to define an insertion path for the root of the blade.

A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. The blade can include a body having an outer surface with a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface, and a side edge. A curved transition can extend between one of the flat top surface or the flat bottom surface, and the side edge. The side edge can be arranged at an angle.

A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. The blade can include a body with an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side edge. A performance feature can be included in the body between the upper surface and the side edge, or the lower surface and the side edge to improve efficiency. The performance feature can be tailored to the particular blade edge, shape, or intended rotational direction to increase efficiency.
