Abstract

A ceiling fan including a connecting fitting fixed to a ceiling, and a ceiling fan main body suspended from the connecting fitting via a suspension device. The ceiling fan main body includes a motor for rotating a plurality of blades attached in a horizontal direction, a shaft protruding to an upper part of the motor, and a joint portion fixed on an upper part of the shaft. The suspension device includes a first connecting portion capable of being movably mounted on the connecting fitting, and a second connecting portion located in a lower part of the first connecting portion. The joint portion is movably mounted on the second connecting portion.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a ceiling fan suspended from a ceiling.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A conventional ceiling fan includes a connecting fitting fixed to a ceiling, and a ceiling fan main body suspended from the connecting fitting via a suspension device.[0003]When such a ceiling fan is operated in a state in which it is suspended from a ceiling, a ceiling fan main body may occasionally swing. That is to say, in a conventional ceiling fan, a shaft protruding from the upper part of the ceiling fan main body is movably anchored to the connecting fitting fixed to a ceiling. However, not-specified swing components in all directions are generated due to vane weight and unbalanced pitch in a ceiling fan, circulation air generated during operation of a ceiling fan main body, outside wind, and the like, causing a ceiling fan main body to swing non-constantly.[0004]In such circumstances, conventionally, in order to suppress swing, a ceiling fan main body is firmly fi...
