Dust Capturing System

Abstract

A dust capturing system for capturing airborne dust when a fan is turned on includes a fan that is coupled to a ceiling. The fan has a plurality of blades and the fan rotates the blades when the fan is turned on. A plurality of socks is provided and each of the socks is positioned around one of the blades. Thus, each of the socks may capture dust when the fan is turned on.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A dust capturing system comprising:
 a fan being coupled to a ceiling, said fan having a plurality of blades, said fan rotating said blades when said fan is turned on; and   a plurality of socks, each of said socks being positioned around one of said blades wherein each of said socks is configured to capture dust when said fan is turned on.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said socks has a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending between said first end and said second end, said first end of each of said socks being open, said first end of each of said socks insertably receiving said distal end of an associated one of said blades, each of said socks being positioned to substantially cover said associated blade. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 each of said socks having a first end; and   a plurality of elastic members, each of said elastic members being coupled to an associated one of said socks, each of said elastic members being coextensive with said first end of said associated sock.   
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 3 , wherein each of said elastic members urges said first end to frictionally engage said associated blade thereby retaining each of said socks on said associated blade. 
     
     
         5 . A dust capturing system comprising:
 a fan being coupled to a ceiling, said fan having a plurality of blades, each of said blades having a distal end with respect to said fan, said fan rotating said blades when said fan is turned on;   a plurality of socks, each of said socks being positioned around one of said blades wherein each of said socks is configured to capture dust when said fan is turned on, each of said socks having a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending between said first end and said second end, said first end of each of said socks being open, said first end of each of said socks insertably receiving said distal end of an associated one of said blades, each of said socks being positioned to substantially cover said associated blade; and   a plurality of elastic members, each of said elastic members being coupled to an associated one of said socks, each of said elastic members being coextensive with said first end of said associated sock, each of said elastic members urging said first end to frictionally engage said associated blade thereby retaining each of said socks on said associated blade.
