The present subject matter described herein, relates to a mounting system for a ceiling fan assembly, and in particular of a loop mounting unit to provide a lock with ceiling hook in simple and minimal mounting steps, and less number of components.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART:
[002] Generally, ceiling fans have become an increasingly popular supplementary means of creating an airflow within both commercial and residential buildings. Notwithstanding the widespread use of ceiling fans, the installation of ceiling fans remains problematic.
[003] Existing mounting systems are configured with the weight of the ceiling fan assembly, which includes a ceiling fan motor, motor housing, downrod, blades and blade irons, is supported by either a mounting bracket or a canopy. These mounting brackets or canopies typically include slotted openings extending from their outer edges to their centers, which are adapted to accept and retain a top end of the downrod which commonly ends in a ball joint.
[004] As shown in Fig. la and lb illustrate diagrammatic view of bracket mounting system and downrod mounting system for ceiling fan assembly. In the ceiling fan, the down rod D used for mounting through a ceiling hook. The down rod D is formed with a metal pipe which one end is connected to the ceiling fan motor and another end is connected to the ceiling hook through nut and bolt. The nut and bolt assemblies are called as shackle assembly, also the canopy is used to hide the mounting nut and bolt plastic part in the ceiling fan.
[005] In the existing mounting systems, the slotted mounting bracket is mounted either directly or indirectly to the ceiling at the mounting location of the anticipated connection of the ceiling fan assembly to the electrical current supply when the bracket mounting system is used. The downrod is positioned within the slotted opening with the ball joint positioned above the slotted opening so that the

downrod may be slid along the slotted opening to the mounting bracket's center and then lowered so that the ball nests upon the mounting bracket. Thus, the weight of the ceiling fan assembly is supported by the mounting bracket through the ball joint. The ceiling fan assembly is then wired to the electrical power supply wires within the ceiling. Throughout installation and wiring of the ceiling fan assembly, the canopy rests on or above the ceiling fan motor housing with the downrod extending through the center opening of the canopy. After wiring is completed, the canopy is manually raised along the downrod and is mounted to the mounting bracket to hide the mounting bracket and electrical wires from view. Therefore, the down rod assembly has lots of components and mounting steps which make ceiling fan mounting time consuming and less user friendly.
[006] In addition, the rotation of the ceiling fan assembly during installation makes wiring the ceiling fan assembly to the electrical wires within the ceiling more difficult. The rotation of the ceiling fan assembly during installation also lengthens the installation time because the installer must repeatedly manually rotate the ceiling fan assembly in a direction opposite to the twisting rotation in order to align the ceiling fan assembly wires with the appropriate electrical power supply wires in the ceiling.
[007] Therefore, needs to develop and design the existing mounting system of ceiling fan assembly. In the present invention provides a loop mounting unit that is configured to lock the ceiling hook in simple and minimal mounting steps, and less number of components.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
[008] The principal objective of the present invention is to provide a mounting system for supporting a ceiling fan assembly with a ceiling hook and a loop mounting hook.
[009] Another object of the present invention is to reduce the mounting complexity and make it so easy, a user can install ceiling fan by itself.

[0010] Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide minimal and simple design approach loop mounting has less number of components and less mounting steps.
[0011] Yet another objective of the present invention is to prevent the complexity of wiring installation in the ceiling fan assembly to the electrical wires.
[0012] Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide grip the motor and absorb the vibration and motor on / off buzz.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
[0013] The present subject matter relates to a mounting system for a ceiling fan assembly. The mounting system has a loop mounting unit which includes a top portion and a bottom portion, where the loop mounting unit is adapted to be hanged vertically from a ceiling hook.
