Slide in, hook and fold out ceiling fan blades

摘要

Slide in, hook on and lock blades for ceiling fans having vibration and noise reduction through resilient members. A mount attached to the motor can be bendable by a hinge so a raised portion can receive a slot on the blade. The mount has a post where a blade can be hooked. Folding the blade locks the blade substantially eliminating lateral and vertical movement of the blade and can also eliminate vibration and noise. A clip can be used to lock the blade or eliminate lateral and/or vertical movements. An expandable and contracting clip can hold the blade and can be used with a post or posts, and can quickly allow the blade to be snapped into place. The invention allows centrifugal forces and/or the overall weight of the blades(by gravity) to hold the blades.
