a down rod having an upper end with a partial ball shape and a lower end, the partial ball shape upper end for sitting above the bottom opening of the hanger support with the lower end extending below the ceiling bracket, wherein a ceiling fan motor with blades extending therefrom is attached to the lower end of the down rod, and wherein the hanging system substantially reduces wobble effects which includes up and down motions and side to side motions while the ceiling ran is running, wherein the ceiling bracket includes:
inner channels for allowing outwardly extending members on the hanger support to slide therein.
2. The ceiling fan hanging system of claim 1 , wherein the inner channels and the outwardly extending members each have a rectangular configuration.
3. The ceiling fan hanging system of claim 2 , wherein the inner channels of the ceiling bracket includes
inwardly protruding ledges for supporting lower edges of outwardly extending members on the hanger support.
4. The ceiling fan hanging system of claim 2 , further comprising:
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the partial ball shape upper end of the down rod, the plate for fitting in the top opening of the ceiling bracket over the partial shaped upper end of the down rod.
5. The ceiling fan hanging system of claim 1 , wherein the inner channels of the ceiling bracket includes
inwardly protruding ledges for supporting lower edges of the outwardly extending members on the hanger support.
6. The ceiling fan hanging system of claim 5 , further comprising:
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the partial ball shape upper end of the down rod, the plate for fitting in the top opening of the ceiling bracket over the partial ball shape upper end of the down rod.
7. The ceiling fan hanging system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the partial ball shape upper end of the down rod, the plate for fitting in the top opening of the ceiling bracket over the partial ball shape upper end of the down rod.
8. A ceiling fan hanging system, comprising:
a ceiling bracket adapted for being attached to a ceiling, the bracket having a top opening and a bottom opening;
a floating hanger support having sides for mateably being received within the top opening of the ceiling bracket, the hanger support having a bottom with an opening therethrough; and
a down rod having an upper end with a partial ball shape and a lower end, the partial ball shape upper end for sitting above the bottom opening of the hanger support with the lower end extending below the ceiling bracket, wherein a ceiling fan motor with blades extending therefrom is attached to the lower end of the down rod, and wherein the hanging system substantially reduces wobble effects which includes up and down motions and side to side motions while the ceiling ran is running; and
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the partial ball shape upper end of the down rod, the plate for fitting in the top opening of the ceiling bracket over the partial ball shape upper end of the down rod.
9. An assembly for hanging ceiling fans, comprising:
a canopy bracket adapted for being attached to a ceiling, the bracket having a top and a bottom opening;
a floating hanger support for being supported within the canopy bracket, the hanger having a bottom with an opening therethrough; and
a down rod having an upper end with an enlarged ball shaped portion and a lower end, the ball shaped portion for being supported above the bottom opening of the hanger with the lower end extending below the canopy bracket, wherein the assembly allows for a ceiling fan attached to the lower end of the down rod to have reduced wobble effects while the ceiling ran is running, wherein the canopy bracket includes:
opposite facing inner channels within the bottom opening for allowing outwardly extending members on the hanger support to fit within.
10. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the canopy bracket includes:
portions adapted for attaching the canopy bracket to a ceiling.
11. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the inner channels and the outwardly extending members have rectangular configurations.
12. The assembly of claim 11 , wherein the inner channels of the canopy bracket includes:
inwardly protruding ledges for supporting lower edges of outwardly extending members on the hanger support.
13. The assembly of claim 11 , further comprising:
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod, the plate for fitting over the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod.
14. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the inner channels of the canopy bracket includes:
inwardly protruding ledges for supporting lower edges of the outwardly extending members on the hanger support.
15. The assembly of claim 14 , further comprising:
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod, the plate for fitting over the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod.
16. The assembly of claim 9 , further comprising:
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod, the plate for fitting over the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod.
17. An assembly for hanging ceiling fans, comprising:
a canopy bracket adapted for being attached to a ceiling, the bracket having a top and a bottom opening;
a floating hanger for being supported within the canopy bracket, the hanger having a bottom with an opening therethrough; and
a down rod having an upper end with an enlarged ball shaped portion and a lower end, the ball shaped portion for being supported above the bottom opening of the hanger with the lower end extending below the canopy bracket, wherein the assembly allows for a ceiling fan attached to the lower end of the down rod to have reduced wobble effects while the ceiling ran is running; and
a plate with a ring shaped opening, the ring shaped opening having a smaller diameter than a diameter of the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod, the plate for fitting over the enlarged ball shaped portion on the down rod.
