Abstract

The invention pertains to a universal bracket for mounting a fan motor assembly upon a support structure. The universal bracket consists of a plurality of low cost fabricated components and incorporates an optional dual construction whereby the components may be assembled to form a construction adapted for ceiling mounting or, in the alternative, to form a construction adapted for wall mounting. The components permit quick and easy assembly and disassembly of the universal bracket, and, in either construction, a swivel relationship exists between the assembled components permitting limited universal angular adjustment of the supported fan motor assembly.
