Means and method for attaching fan and fixture units or the like substantially flush with a ceiling

摘要

An arrangement for attaching a fan-fixture unit substantially flush with a ceiling includes first and second bowl shaped circular members with cylindrical rims. One of the members is fixedly attached to the ceiling electrical outlet box and the other to the top of the fan-fixture unit. One of the members includes a plurality of uniquely shaped slots and the other member a plurality of support rods, each accommodatable in a slot. To attach the unit, it is raisable by a single operator until the support rods are in the slots. Thereafter, the unit is rotatable and released, resulting in the rods being locked securely within particularly shaped portions of the slots.
