FIELD OF INVENTION:

[001] The present subject matter described herein, relates to a telescopic canopy assembly, and, in particular to, a telescopic height adjustment assembly for ceiling fan canopy.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART:
[002] Generally, ceiling fans are commonly placed in residences and business establishments to facilitate air movement within rooms. As is known, a conventional ceiling fan includes a mounting bracket or ceiling plate, which couples to an electric outlet box or the building structure. In a mounting system utilizing a ceiling fan-rated outlet box, machine screws couple the mounting bracket to the outlet box. Alternatively, in a standard electrical outlet box or building structure, wood screws couple the mounting bracket to a wood stud, supporting the ceiling fan. In either event, the screws are tightened until a structure mount is securely mounted to the building structure.
[003] In general, a user have to hang the ceiling fan with pre-supplied canopy with a fixed canopy which creates a lot of problem in case of false ceiling as if the user uses a standard downrod with the ceiling fan then because the canopy has a certain height in total which creates a problem if the downrod coming out of ceiling is less than the combined height of both the canopies (top canopy and bottom canopy), so that the user uses a single canopy and that create major style and aesthetics problems.
[004] In other cases, where longer rod is used as compared to standard rod, a portion is left uncovered by both the canopies that creates aesthetic issues.
[005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, there is requirement for a canopy assembly that can adjust the height as per requirement. The present invention provides a technical solution to the above identified technical problem by providing a telescopic canopy assembly.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:

[0026] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
[0027] It will be further appreciated that functions or structures of a plurality of components or steps may be combined into a single component or step, or the functions or structures of one-step or component may be split among plural steps or components. The present invention contemplates all of these combinations. Unless stated otherwise, dimensions and geometries of the various structures depicted herein are not intended to be restrictive of the invention, and other dimensions or geometries are possible. In addition, while a feature of the present invention may have been described in the context of only one of the illustrated embodiments, such feature may be combined with one or more other features of other embodiments, for any given application. It will also be appreciated from the above that the fabrication of the unique structures herein and the operation thereof also constitute methods in accordance with the present invention. The present invention also encompasses intermediate and end products resulting from the practice of the methods herein. The use of “comprising” or “including” also contemplates embodiments that “consist essentially of” or “consist of” the recited feature.
