Abstract
An apparatus that is used to tilt a ceiling fan such that the air flow of the ceiling fan is redirected. The apparatus mainly consists of a first mounting piece, a second mounting piece, and an adjustment bolt. The first mounting piece and the second mounting piece surround the down tube extending downward from a ceiling fan canopy bracket. The first mounting piece and the second mounting piece are attached together with a pair of patterned bolts. When in use, a user pushes the ceiling fan in a desired direction and tightens the adjustment bolt such that it makes contact with the ceiling fan canopy bracket. In another version, the apparatus can be controlled remotely. In doing so, servos or any other comparable means can be incorporated to control the adjustment bolt. The servos can be controlled by a smart phone or similar means.
