Claims25
A fan comprising:
- a main body having an electric motor, a fan blade assembly rotatably driven by the electric motor, and a fan guard for covering the fan blade assembly;
- a support device configured to support the main body and having a contact surface for contacting an installation surface, so that the main body can be supported on the installation surface via the support device with the contact surface contacting the installation surface;
- a battery pack storing an electric power to be supplied to the electric motor;
- and
- a battery mount device configured to be able to mount the battery pack to at least one of the main body and the support device and to remove the battery pack from the at least one of the main body and the support device in a state that the main body is supported on the installation surface via the support device.
