Abstract
There is provided a fan assembly including an air flow generator that is arranged to generate an air flow through the fan assembly, and a nozzle arranged to emit the air flow from the fan assembly. The nozzle includes a nozzle body and a plurality of steerable air outlets that are each arranged to emit a portion of the air flow, wherein the plurality of steerable air outlets are arranged to be independently rotated relative to the nozzle body.
Claims14
A fan assembly comprising:
- a lower body comprising an upper body section and a lower body section;
- wherein an upper body section houses an air flow generator that is arranged to generate an air flow;
- and
- an upper body arranged to emit the air flow from the lower body, the upper body comprising:
- an opening through which the air flow is received from an air outlet in the upper body section of the lower body;
- and
- an elongate body arranged to move within an elongate opening and substantially occlude the air flow through the elongate opening when the elongate body is in a closed position wherein the elongate body further comprises an internal air outlet channel arranged to emit a portion of the air flow when the elongate body is in an open position.
