Claim:
A connecting assembly of a ceiling fan for fixing blades, comprising: a connecting device adapted to be mounted to a motor of the ceiling fan, the connecting device including a seat adapted to be attached to a bottom of the motor, the seat including multiple grooves radially defined in a bottom of the seat and extending to an outer periphery of the seat, a channel laterally defined in one side of each of the multiple grooves and laterally communicating with the corresponding one of the multiple grooves, a buckle movably received in a corresponding one of the channels; and multiple brackets each having a first end inserted into a corresponding one of the multiple grooves and a second end adapted to be connected to a blade of the ceiling fan, each bracket having an indentation laterally defined in the bracket for selectively partially receiving a corresponding one of the buckles to hold the bracket in place when the first end of the bracket is inserted into the corresponding one of the multiple grooves in the seat, each bracket includes an elongated arm formed on the first end thereof and the indentation being defined in the elongated arm; the connecting device further including: a cover having a skirt extending from a periphery of the cover and the seat received in the cover within the skirt, the seat held in place by multiple first bolts that extend through the cover and are screwed into the seat; multiple entrances laterally defined in and extending through the skirt, each entrance aligning with a corresponding one of the multiple grooves for allowing the elongated arm of the bracket inserted into the seat; a recess defined in a first side of each of the buckle; a spring partially compressively received in the recess and abutting a bottom of the channel for providing a restitution force to the buckle after the buckle being upwardly moved toward the bottom of the channel; and a rod perpendicularly extending from a second side of each of the buckle and through the cover for user to upwardly push the buckle to make the buckle detaching from the indentation of the bracket.
