Patent attributes
A ceiling fan with a light and sound generator is disclosed where the blades of the ceiling fan resemble the rotor blades of a helicopter. Under the blades of the ceiling fan a fixed or replaceable body of a helicopter is located or locatable. The blades of the helicopter may also be changeable to simulate different types of rotors for different helicopters. Control chains extend down from the body of the helicopter to resemble lanyards for repelling from the helicopter. The control chains provide control for fan speed, rotation direction, lighting, and may further include control of sounds that can be generated from the ceiling fan that may simulate commands from the pilot of a helicopter. A remote control can be provided to control the fan light and sound functions. A sensor for detecting the presence of a person in the room may also activate the sound generation.
