Ceiling fan

1. A ceiling fan comprising:

a motor having a rotor rotatable about a rotational axis;

at least one blade iron mounted to the rotor and having a first blade mount located radially exteriorly of the rotor and a second blade mount located radially interiorly of the rotor; and

a blade mounted to both the first and second blade mount and having a tip extending radially beyond the second blade mount.

2. The ceiling fan of claim 1 wherein the at least one blade iron comprises multiple blade irons.

3. The ceiling fan of claim 2 wherein the multiple blade irons are radially spaced about the rotational axis.

4. The ceiling fan of claim 2 wherein the multiple blade irons collectively form a structure underlying the motor.

5. The ceiling fan of claim 1 wherein the rotor is an external rotor.

6. The ceiling fan of claim 5 wherein the motor comprises a stator and the external rotor circumscribes the stator.

7. The ceiling fan of claim 6 further comprising a ceiling mount coupled to the stator.

8. The ceiling fan of claim 1 wherein the rotor comprises a peripheral ring and the blade iron mounts to the peripheral ring.

9. The ceiling fan of claim 8 wherein the blade iron comprises an arcuate portion confronting the peripheral ring.

10. The ceiling fan of claim 9 further comprising a third blade mount spaced from the first blade mount and extending from the arcuate portion radially exterior of the rotor periphery.

11. The ceiling fan of claim 1 wherein the blade comprises a root mounted to a third blade mount.

12. The ceiling fan of claim 11 wherein the blade is two-part, including an upper portion and a lower portion, with the lower portion mounted to the at least one blade iron.

13. A ceiling fan comprising:

a motor assembly including a stator and a rotor defining a rotor periphery and rotatable about the stator;

a blade iron coupled to the rotor and including an arcuate body having a first end and a second end, with a first blade mount provided at the first end and a second blade mount spaced from the first blade mount and provided at the second end, with the first blade mount and the second blade mount extending radially exterior of the rotor periphery; and

a blade mounted to the blade iron at both the first blade mount and the second blade mount.

14. The ceiling fan of claim 13 wherein the first blade mount is located radially exterior of the rotor and the second blade mount is located radially interior of the rotor periphery.

15. The ceiling fan of claim 13 further comprising a blade iron hanger coupled to the rotor and having an annular body with a set of arms configured to hang the blade iron from the rotor.

16. The ceiling fan of claim 15 wherein the blade iron includes a set of apertures complementary to the set of arms of the blade iron hanger.

17. The ceiling fan of claim 16 wherein the set of arms of the blade iron hanger inserts through the set of apertures in the blade iron to hang the blade iron from the rotor.

18. The ceiling fan of claim 16 wherein each arm of the set of arms includes a hook at an end of each arm.

19. The ceiling fan of claim 16 wherein the blade is two-part, including an upper portion and a lower portion.

20. A ceiling fan comprising:

a motor assembly including a stator and a rotor rotatable about the stator;

a blade iron hanger coupled to the rotor including an annular body and at least one arm extending from the annular body; and

a blade iron including at least one opening adapted to receive the at least one arm of the blade iron hanger through the at least one opening to hang the blade iron from the blade iron hanger to facilitate alignment and mounting of the blade iron to the rotor.

21. The ceiling fan of claim 20 further comprising a hook provided on the at least one arm spaced from the annular body.

22. The ceiling fan of claim 20 wherein the at least one arm includes a pair of two arms.

23. The ceiling fan of claim 22 wherein the at least one opening includes a pair of openings complementary to the pair of two arms.
