I'm trying to find a certain kind of bracket to mount a cage fan like this on my porch.

The fan is currently bolted into an overhead 2x4, but I'd like to be able to move the fan to several locations around my deck easily.

I'd like to use brackets similar to those used to hang most ceiling fans except more compact obviously. They are like a "U" or "C" shape and a disk or ball slides in and drops down in the bracket. This would be ideal so I can easily pick it up move the fan to a different bracket.

The photo below is the closest I've found, but still not quite it. These don't have a drop or latch of any kind that would keep the fan from falling out if it's mounted to and overhead beam.

Can anyone find this bracket. I know they exist.... But Ive googled for hours and don't know the right term to find them.

I found the ones in the photo by searching "keyhole bracket" .

Any other quick connect bracket recommendations are also excepted.

Thanks!

Yup, it's Good mythical summer right now. So 3 episodes a week. But soon it will be back to every weekday. They keep growing their business and I've enjoyed watching it. They have multiple crews and websites now. They have several shows that have spawned from GMM, like that have a whole cooking show (different hosts, but they are all entertaining).

I don't know much other than how to Google problems.

That... That is a technical background right?

I feel like it's pretty obvious I was exaggerating. There's just extra steps that I've always had to take. It's never been simple for me. A lot of terminal commands in not familiar with.

KiCad. A full suite of software for full PCB (printed circuit board) design and development. Super cool software.

I also agree. Use audodesk inventor for work and fusion 360 for personal use. I tried freecad and could not do it.

I have to have a computer science degree to install a peice of software.. I just wanna double click the installer icon. I don't want to have to write out some long String in terminal to install software. And sometimes it's different depending on distro.

Additional fun fact. There has been a lot of research and activity dedicated to potentially switch coal power plants to nuclear. Currently, they cannot do it, because the coal plants and all the equipment associated produces far more radiation than regulations allow a nuclear plant to emit.

Therefore, unless they could find a practical way to decontaminate the radiation away from existing coal equipment, or regulations change for transformed plants, they can't do it.

Bitwarden is the exact app you just described. I use it. It's great.

Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.

 

I can go back to the post, but it's hard to find my comment when there are many. And having my name not be highlighted makes it even harder.
