Abstract
A tightening device with easy alignment is adapted for securing a ceiling fan to a fitting which is used to mount the ceiling fan onto a flat ceiling wall, and includes an annular flange member extending inwardly and radially from a lower annular wall of a protective covering member in the form of a canopy, and an anchored flat sheet formed with an upper major wall of a motor casing. The anchored flat sheet has an inner peripheral wall, and a plurality of first fastening positions proximate to the inner peripheral wall and angularly spaced apart from one another. An upper annular clamping member has an outer circumferential portion, and an inner circumferential portion extending inwardly and radially from the outer circumferential portion. When the clamping member is placed on the annular flange member, the outer circumferential portion will sandwich the annular flange member to the anchored flat sheet. The inner circumferential portion defines second fastening positions respectively corresponding to the first fastening positions in terms of number and relative position and aligning with the same axially. A plurality of fastening members fasten the anchored flat sheet and the inner circumferential portion together along the first and second fastening positions.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
