Kit for decorating ceiling fan blades
View Patent ↗A kit for decorating ceiling fan blades is provided. The kit includes a plurality of fan blade covers adapted to readily conform to the shape of a ceiling fan blade. The covers are embellished with interchangeable decorative images or themes selectable by user.
1. A kit for decorating ceiling fan blades comprising:
a plurality of slip covers, each said plurality of slip covers being installed on a ceiling fan blade, said plurality of slip covers each being formed of an elongated, thin, flexible material having a front surface and a rear surface, said rear surface has a pressure-sensitive adhesive mounted thereon, said elongated, thin, flexible material defines a generally rectangular configuration having a length and width measurably larger than the ceiling fan blade, said elongated, thin, flexible material has a periphery defined of a first side edge, a second side edge, a proximal edge, and a distal edge, wherein said elongated, thin, flexible material has a thin, flexible membrane attached to the front surface thereof, said thin, flexible membrane substantially corresponds to a shape of said elongated, thin, flexible material so as to cover an entire upper surface thereof, said thin, flexible membrane has a thin, transparent layer laminated to a top side thereof along a periphery of said thin, flexible membrane in a manner so as to form a blade receiving pocket, said thin, transparent layer substantially corresponds to a shape of said thin, flexible membrane and said elongated, thin, flexible material, said thin, transparent layer includes an anterior edge opposing a posterior edge, said anterior edge defining a horizontally extending slit positioned therebelow, said slit providing direct passage into said blade receiving pocket, said slit defines a length allowing a distal end of the fan blade to be inserted therethrough, the fan blade is slidably inserted and housed inside said blade receiving pocket, wherein said pressure-sensitive adhesive is comprised of an adhesive coating suitably tacky so as to provide a surface on which dust, lint, dirt, grime, allergens and other airborne particles are attracted, collected, and accumulated, said pressure-sensitive has a release liner applied thereover, said release liner is readily peelable from said pressure-sensitive adhesive;
at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements adapted for insertion inside said plurality of slip covers;
an instruction leaflet;
an insert; and
a package suitably adapted for housing said plurality of slip covers, said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements, said insert, and said instruction leaflet.
2. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said insert defines a lightweight, thin, semi-rigid, generally rectangular configuration, said insert is inserted through said slit of said thin, transparent layer and is positioned between said thin, flexible membrane and said thin, transparent layer so that said insert is oriented downwardly, said insert is sizably adapted to fit snugly inside said blade receiving pocket.
3. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements is inserted through said slit of said thin, transparent layer, and said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements is positioned between the thin, transparent layer and said insert, thereby housing said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements within said blade receiving pocket, said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements is oriented downwardly so as to be viewable by an observer.
4. The kit of claim 3 , wherein said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements is an air freshener.
5. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements is suitably attached to said insert, wherein said insert with attached said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements is positioned between said thin, transparent layer and said thin, flexible membrane, said thin, flexible membrane being attached to the front surface of said elongated, thin, flexible material, and wherein said at least one theme element or a combination of theme elements is oriented downwardly so as to be viewable by an observer.
6. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said thin, transparent layer comprises a plurality of apertures defined therethrough.
7. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said release liner is peeled from said pressure-sensitive adhesive, said pressure-sensitive adhesive having upper corners which are overlapped in a reverse-folded manner atop an upward side of the fan blade and snugly against a lower end of an arm of the fan blade in a manner such that said adhesive coating of said pressure-sensitive adhesive binds to the upward side of the fan blade, thereby securing said slip cover to the fan blade so that said slip cover remains fixed in an installed position, and resistant to centrifugal and air forces encountered during a ceiling fan operation.
8. The kit of claim 1 , wherein said thin, flexible material is fabricated of a paper material.
