Abstract
A fan device provides airflow throughout a radial region from the location of the fan so that people positioned around the fan simultaneously receive a continuous flow of air at a calculated velocity that provides a desired cooling or heating effect and thermal comfort, and that can be further adjusted by the operator/user.
Claims16
A fan device, comprising:
- a housing having a columnar shape and defining a central vertical axis, the housing having a base that is configured to sit on a surface;
- an inlet configured to allow air into the housing at a side of the housing above the base;
- an outlet formed around a circumference of the housing;
- a fan positioned inside the housing between the inlet and the outlet, and configured to blow air toward the outlet;
- a motor coupled to the fan and positioned below the fan;
- a directional ducting member positioned inside the housing between the fan and the outlet to direct air blown by the fan through the outlet radially around the circumference of the housing, wherein the directional ducting member has a lower terminus positioned over a center of the fan, and wherein a distance between an inside of the housing and the directional ducting member decreases between the fan and the outlet such that an air velocity at the outlet is greater than an air velocity at the fan, wherein the lower terminus of the directional ducting member has a diameter that is narrower than a central cylindrical portion of the fan from which a plurality of fan blades extend;
- and
- wherein the outlet is formed as a gap between the housing and the directional ducting member.

A comfort fan, comprising:
- a housing having a vertical axis, an air inlet and an air outlet;
- a base on which the housing is mounted, the base configured to sit on a surface, the air inlet being a gap between the base and the housing;
- the air outlet being positioned at a top of the housing and configured to direct air out of the housing radially to the vertical axis around a three hundred sixty-degree circumference of the comfort fan, continuously;
- a fan having fan blades positioned inside the housing between the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a motor coupled to the fan blades to drive the fan blades at a selected speed;
- and
- a directional ducting member inside the housing between the fan blades and the air outlet to direct air blown by the fan blades through the air outlet radially outward perpendicular to the vertical axis, wherein a distance between the directional ducting member and the housing decreases from a lower terminus of the directional ducting member and the air outlet, wherein the lower terminus has a diameter that is narrower than a central cylindrical portion of the fan from which a plurality of fan blades extend.
