PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:

FIELD OF INVENTION:
This invention relates to the field of packaging products.
Particularly, this invention relates to compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Ceiling fans typically comprise a centrally located motor assembly with peripheral radial blade elements and associated mounting assembly. Typically, these elements are detachable elements and are shipped in its detached form from factory to a vendor to a customer before it is installed by the customer, on site.
Currently, ceiling fans are generally packed in a secondary carton which contains a set of (usually 4) single unit cartons of motor and its accessories, and a set (usually 4) of single unit cartons of blades. When delivering a fan to the customer, a motor carton and a blade carton are taken from the secondary carton and handed over separately. Since both the motor carton and the blade carton are of different unusual sizes, it is difficult as well as cumbersome to carry it to the installation place.

There is, hence, a need to provide a standard size packaging box comprising both motor assembly and fan blades for ease of transportation for said customer, especially in today's highly crowded public transport means.
OBJECTS OF INVENTION:
An object of invention is to provide an easy to carry packaging box for ceiling fans.
Another object of the invention is to provide a convenient packaging box for ceiling fans which eases the burden of carrying for a customer..
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a single unit packaging box for conveniently carrying ceiling fans.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an easily storable or stackable packaging box for ceiling fans.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
According to this invention, there is provided a compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans, said compact unit packaging box comprises:
a. cubical base adapted to house motor and associated fan assembly;

b. rectangular box adapted to house fan blades, said rectangular box
extending from said cubical base;
c. slot in said cubical base adapted to receive said rectangular box;
and
d. handle means adapted to provide handle for carrying said box.
Typically, said rectangular box slidably fits into said cubical base through said slot.
Typically, said handle means extends from top portion of said cubical base.
Alternatively, according to this invention, there is provided a compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans, said compact unit packaging box being a substantially trapezoidal packaging box. Typically, said fan blades and said motor are fitted in said trapezoidal box.
Alternatively, according to the invention there is provided a compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans, said compact unit packaging box being designed in accordance with the shape formed by placing fan motor and fan blades in said box.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
Figure 1 illustrates a schematic view of the packaging box for ceiling fans according to the prior art.
The invention will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 2 illustrates a schematic view of the first embodiment of the packaging box for ceiling fans; and
Figure 3 illustrates a schematic view of an alternative embodiment of the packaging box for ceiling fans.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS:
Figure 1 illustrates a schematic view of the packaging box for ceiling fans according to the prior art.
According to the prior art, for carrying a ceiling fan in a box from one place to another, before installation, required two boxes; first box (12) for the motor and associated mounting assemblies, and second box (14) for the fan blades. Typically, the first box is a cubical box. Typically, the

second box is a rectangular box. This varying size and shape is detrimental to ease of transportation.
Figure 2 illustrates a schematic view of the first embodiment of the packaging box for ceiling fans according to this invention.
Figure 3 illustrates a schematic view of an alternative embodiment of the packaging box for ceiling fans according to this invention.
According to this invention, there is provided a compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans.
In accordance with an embodiment of this invention, there is provided a first box (22) with a cubical base (24) adapted to house said motor and associated mounting assemblies.
In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a handle means (26) atop said cubical base adapted to provide means to carry said packaged ceiling fan in said box.

In accordance with yet another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a rectangular box (28) adapted to house fan blades of said ceiling fan.
In accordance with still another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a slot (32) atop said cubical base adapted to receive said rectangular box in its vertical configuration. The rectangular box, is thus partially placed inside the cubical base, and partially extends out of said cubical base.
In accordance with an alternative embodiment of this invention (as shown in Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings), there is also provided a substantially trapezoidal box (42) for carrying said motor, said fan blades, and said associated assemblies within itself. Still alternatively, the box may be designed in accordance with the shape formed by putting motor and blades.

We claim:
1. A compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans, said compact unit packaging box comprising:
a. cubical base adapted to house motor and associated fan assembly;
b. rectangular box adapted to house fan blades, said rectangular box
extending from said cubical base;
c. slot in said cubical base adapted to receive said rectangular box;
and
d. handle means adapted to provide handle for carrying said box.
2. A box as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said rectangular box slidably fits into said cubical base through said slot.
3. A box as claimed in claim 1 wherein, said handle means extends from top portion of said cubical base.
4. A compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans, said compact unit
packaging box being a substantially trapezoidal packaging box.

5. A compact unit packaging box for ceiling fans, said compact unit packaging box being designed in accordance with the shape formed by placing fan motor and fan blades in said box.
