Fan assembly

A battery powered fan assembly comprising:

• a fan housing that at least partially defines an airflow chamber;
• a plurality of fan blades positioned within the airflow chamber;
• a motor operable to rotate the plurality of fan blades;
• a battery receptacle configured to receive a removable battery pack to power the motor;
• and
• a base assembly configured to be placed on a support surface, the base assembly including
• a first frame segment including two parallel, spaced apart beams, wherein the fan housing is coupled to the first frame segment between the two parallel, spaced apart beams of the first frame segment,
• a second frame segment pivotally coupled to the first frame segment, the second frame segment including two parallel, spaced apart beams of the second frame segment, and
• a third frame segment pivotally coupled to the second frame segment,
• wherein the base assembly is configured to be collapsed into a storage configuration in which the first frame segment is folded onto and overlies the second frame segment, and the second frame segment is folded onto and overlies the third frame segment,
• wherein the base assembly is configured to be expanded to a first deployed configuration in which the fan housing is elevated above the support surface by a first height, and
• wherein the base assembly is configured to be expanded to a second deployed configuration in which the fan housing is elevated above the support surface by a second height that is different than the first height.
