Abstract
A fan having a base, a plate operatively attached to the base, a fan head housing, and a support arm is disclosed. The plate oscillates relative to the base by an oscillating mechanism. The fan head housing includes a blower assembly with a motor that rotates a blade to produce an air stream. The support arm has a first end pivotally attached to the fan head housing and a second end fixedly attached to the plate. The fan head housing is cantilevered by the support arm. This fan configuration allows for improved airflow direction, enhanced portability and reduced noise.
