Abstract
The invention pertains to a swag kit for ceiling mounted fans wherein the kit includes a flexible electrical conductor supported within a chain, the upper region of the chain being connected to a ceiling plate while the lower region of the conductor connects to a switch box containing a switch for the fan, and may also include a light switch. A line cord is connected to a switch within the switch box, and the ceiling plate functions to electrically isolate the fan connections from the ceiling in compliance with code regulations. Conductor strain relief means are provided at both the ceiling plate and switch box, and a chain receiving hook is homogeneously defined upon the ceiling plate to support the chain without tensioning the conductor.
