Abstract
An air moving device includes a housing member, a rotary fan assembly, and a nozzle. The air moving device further includes a light source member mounted within the nozzle. The light source member can be placed within a flow of air moving out the end of the nozzle in a generally columnar pattern. The flow of air can be used to cool the light source member. A portion of the nozzle can be transparent, allowing the light from the light source member to emanate radially, as well as longitudinally.
Claims9
An air moving device comprising:
- an outer housing having an outlet and an annular interior wall therein defining an interior space extending axially to the outlet;
- a plurality of stators extending axially through the interior space;
- an impeller configured to move air along a first flow path extending through the interior space to the outlet;
- and
- an inner housing located downstream of the impeller, the inner housing having:
- an inside chamber defining a second flow path extending axially through the inside chamber to the outlet,
- an upstream opening configured to divert some of the moving air from the first flow path to the second flow path;
- and
- a light source positioned downstream of the inside chamber within the second flow path.
