Patent number: 10174764Abstract: Described is a fan assembly comprising a body comprising an inlet, an outlet, and means for generating an air flow. The fan assembly also comprises a nozzle mountable on the body for receiving the air flow from the body and for emitting the air flow and a nozzle retaining means for releasably retaining the nozzle on the body. The nozzle retaining means has a first configuration in which the nozzle is retained on the body and a second configuration in which the nozzle is released for removal from the body. The fan assembly also comprises a manually actuable member located on the nozzle for effecting movement of the nozzle retaining means from the first configuration to the second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Jack Johnson, Steven Eduard Peet, Christopher Steven Hodgson, Leanne Joyce Garner, Adam James Bates, William Richard Hunt

Patent number: 10100836Abstract: A fan assembly includes a nozzle and a device for creating an air flow through the nozzle. The nozzle includes an interior passage, a mouth for receiving the air flow from the interior passage, and a Coanda surface located adjacent the mouth and over which the mouth is arranged to direct the air flow. The mouth and the Coanda surface extend about an axis. The Coanda surface comprises a diffuser portion, the angle subtended between the axis and the diffuser portion of the Coanda surface varying about the axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Timothy Nicholas Stickney, Christopher Steven Hodgson, James John Bryden

Patent number: 9797414Abstract: A fan assembly includes a base, a body including an air inlet, impeller and motor driving the impeller to draw an air flow through the air inlet, an air outlet and an interior passage conveying air to the air outlet and extending about an opening through which air from outside the fan assembly is drawn by air emitted from the air outlet. A motorized oscillation mechanism housed within the base oscillates the body relative to the base about an axis and includes a second motor, a drive member driven by the second motor, and a driven member which is driven by the drive member to rotate relative to the base about the axis. The body is mounted on the driven member for rotation therewith. Interlocking members retain the body on the driven member and serve to guide tilting movement of the body relative to the base about a tilt axis.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Christopher Steven Hodgson, Darren Matthew Lewis, India Shaw Elsdon
