Abstract

A removable and replaceable cover for a ceiling fan blade is disclosed. The cover includes a first material which covers the bottom surface of the fan blade and wraps around the outer edges of the fan blade and a second elastic material which joins the ends of the first material and is positioned adjacent the top surface of the fan blade. One or more straps are attached to the open end of the cover and wrap around the arm which attaches the blade to the fan motor. A hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the end of the strap and a mating attachment is provided on the first material.

Claims

A cover for a fan blade comprising a substantially tubular sleeve formed from a first material having substantially oppositely disposed ends and a second material having elastic properties, said second material substantially joining together said substantially oppositely disposed ends of said first material, said substantially tubular sleeve having a first end which is substantially closed and an oppositely disposed second end which is open and having a tapered configuration from said first end to said second end resulting in said first end being larger than said second end and means for attaching said cover to a fan blade.

2. The cover as defined in claim 1 wherein the width of said first material is greater than the width of said second material.

3. The cover as defined in claim 1 wherein said attaching means comprises at least one strap positioned adjacent said second end of said tubular sleeve and having fastening means attached to the end thereof.
