Claims17
A fan assembly comprising:
- a body comprising an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air flow generator for generating an air flow through the body, the body having a lower body section and an upper body section capable of rotation relative to the lower body section;
- a nozzle for receiving the air flow from the body and for emitting the air flow;
- a filter upstream from the air inlet;
- and
- a seat on the upper body section for supporting the filter such that the filter rotates relative to the lower body section when the upper body section is caused to rotate,
- wherein the seat has an upwardly facing surface for supporting the filter,
- wherein the lower body section and the upper body section are cylindrical and a diameter of the lower body section is larger than a diameter of the upper body section,
- wherein an outer edge of the seat is substantially flush with an outer surface of the lower body section, and
- wherein when the filter is on the seat an outermost surface of the filter is substantially flush with an outer surface of the lower body section.
