Abstract
A system for mounting a fan to a ceiling includes a connector adapted to attach to the ceiling. The connector includes at least one guide. An adaptor is adapted to attach the fan to the connector, and includes at least one rail adapted for being received within the at least one guide. A safety bracket is also provided, which is adapted to attach to the ceiling separate from the connector and connect to a safety cable without using a tool. A motor support is also provided with a cavity adapted to receive the power supply, and at least one retainer serves to retain the power supply within the cavity. A quick-connecting escutcheon is also adapted to rotatably connect to the connector.
