Hunter Ceiling Fan Trilobular Mounting System

Hunter’s Track Record for Innovation

In a typical year Hunter files more patents in the state of Tennessee than any other company.  It has dozens of patents covering every aspect of ceiling fan design and innovation.  This is why it is worth paying the extra for a Hunter product that is full of clever innovations and thoughtful features that ensure lifelong enjoyment and reliability.  The patent for the trilobular mounting system was filed by Ted Bacon who was one of the most brilliant fan engineers that Hunter ever had and we had the pleasure of him training our staff many years ago.  Here are 5 key innovations that Ted compressed into the mounting canopy.
