Abstract
Abstract A recirculation fan portable mounting apparatus is disclosed comprising a generally flat mounting plate having an upper surface and a lower surface. Protruding above the upper surface are a pair of oppositely mounted grasping hooks extending upward there from. The central aperture in the middle of the mounting plate allows for passage of electrical cords through the mounting plate. The eye bolts are then threaded to the under side of the plate at a central location as to eventually impinge a support member between each eye bolt and the tongue portion of the protruded mounting clamps.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
227 words
A fan mounting apparatus, said fan mounting apparatus being portable and removable, said fan mounting apparatus comprising: a generally flat mounting plate having an upper surface and a lower surface; a central aperture penetrating said mounting plate between said upper surface and said lower surface; a first grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a first vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a first horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a first threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said first horizontal tongue; a first bolt for threadingly engaging said first bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface; a second grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a second vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a second horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a second threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said second horizontal tongue; a second bolt for threadingly engaging said second bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface; and second connection means for affixing a ceiling-type circulation fan to said lower surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
227 words
A fan mounting apparatus, said fan mounting apparatus being portable and removable, said fan mounting apparatus comprising: a generally flat mounting plate having an upper surface and a lower surface; a central aperture penetrating said mounting plate between said upper surface and said lower surface; a first grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a first vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a first horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a first threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said first horizontal tongue; a first bolt for threadingly engaging said first bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface; a second grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a second vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a second horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a second threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said second horizontal tongue; a second bolt for threadingly engaging said second bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface; and second connection means for affixing a ceiling-type circulation fan to said lower surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
The fan mounting apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein said first grasping hook and said second grasping hook are symmetrically opposed such that both said first horizontal tongue and said second horizontal tongue each point both opposite and inward toward the centerline of said mounting plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
227 words
In a fan mounting apparatus having a mounting plate and a connection means for connecting to a ceiling-type fan, wherein the improvement comprises a portable attachment means for removably mounting said ceiling-type fan to a narrow support surface, and wherein said mounting plate has an upper surface and a lower surface, and wherein the portable attachment means comprises: a first grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a first vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a first horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a first threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said first horizontal tongue; a first bolt for threadingly engaging said first bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface; a second grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a second vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a second horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a second threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said second horizontal tongue; and a second bolt for threadingly engaging said second bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
227 words
In a fan mounting apparatus having a mounting plate and a connection means for connecting to a ceiling-type fan, wherein the improvement comprises a portable attachment means for removably mounting said ceiling-type fan to a narrow support surface, and wherein said mounting plate has an upper surface and a lower surface, and wherein the portable attachment means comprises: a first grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a first vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a first horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a first threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said first horizontal tongue; a first bolt for threadingly engaging said first bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface; a second grasping hook mounted to said upper surface at a plane offset from the centerline of said mounting plate and having a second vertical wall connected to and protruding from said upper surface and a second horizontal tongue protruding parallel to said upper surface; a second threaded bolt hole penetrating said mounting plate and aligned directly beneath said second horizontal tongue; and a second bolt for threadingly engaging said second bolt hole such as to penetrate from said lower surface, past said upper surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
The fan mounting apparatus as described in claim 3, wherein said first grasping hook and said second grasping hook are symmetrically opposed such that both said first horizontal tongue and said second horizontal tongue each point both opposite and inward toward the centerline of said mounting plate.
