Claims28
A fan assembly comprising:
- a fan body comprising a first air inlet and a second air inlet, the first air inlet and the second air inlet being provided on opposing halves of the fan body;
- a motor-driven impeller contained within the fan body and arranged to generate an airflow;
- a nozzle mounted on and supported by the fan body, the nozzle being arranged to receive the airflow from the fan body and to emit the airflow from the fan assembly;
- a first filter assembly mounted on the fan body over the first air inlet, the first filter assembly comprising a first filter frame supporting one or more filter media;
- and
- a second filter assembly mounted on the fan body over the second air inlet, the second filter assembly comprising a second filter frame supporting one or more filter media;
- wherein the fan body comprises a first retention assembly that is configured to releasably engage both the first filter frame adjacent to a first edge of the first filter frame and the second filter frame adjacent to a first edge of the second filter frame, and a second retention assembly that is configured to releasably engage both the first filter frame adjacent to a second edge of the first filter frame and the second filter frame adjacent to a second edge of the second filter frame;
- and
- wherein each of the first retention assembly and the second retention assembly comprise a release mechanism that is arranged to cause the respective retention assembly to simultaneously release the first filter frame and the second filter frame from the retention assembly when operated by a user.
