Patent number: 10612849Abstract: The invention relates to a wall-mountable hand dryer of the type which uses an air-knife to wipe the water from a user's hand. In accordance with the invention, the hand dryer is configured to have a maximum depth, front-to-back, of less than 150 mm when it is surface-mounted on—rather than recessed within—the wall. The dryer has a projecting part which projects outwardly either from the wall or from a rear part of the dryer, and the air-knife is directed downwardly onto the user's hand as it is passed lengthwise underneath the projecting part of the dryer. The air knife is discharged through one or more discharge apertures, and these discharge apertures are positioned towards the front of the projecting part so that they are spaced at least 75 mm from the wall or, as the case may be, the rear part of the dryer.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: DYSON TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Peter David Gammack, Stephen Benjamin Courtney, Leigh Michael Ryan, Stuart James Steele

In accordance with the invention, the hand dryer is configured to have a maximum depth, front-to-back, of less than 150 mm when it is surface-mounted on—not recessed within—the wall. The air-knife is discharged downwardly through one or more discharge apertures on the dryer. These discharge apertures are configured so that the air-knife is discharged in front of the wall or a rear part of the dryer, and is discharged forwards towards the user at a downward angle. The downward angle of the air-knife is such that the air-knife projects to a distance of at least 75 mm in front of the wall or, as the case may be, in front of the rear part of the dryer.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Peter David Gammack, Stephen Benjamin Courtney, Leigh Michael Ryan, Stuart James Steele

Patent number: 10018417Abstract: The present invention relates to a hand dryer for drying a user's hands by means of an airflow discharged through an air outlet on the hand dryer. The airflow is generated by a motor-driven fan unit, the airflow exiting the fan unit through a fan outlet on the fan unit. The fan unit is mounted to a fixed part of the hand dryer by means of an inflatable mount secured to the fixed part. The mount incorporates at least one inflatable duct connecting the fan outlet to the air outlet, which inflatable duct is, in use, inflated by the airflow passing from the fan outlet to the air outlet to provide pneumatic support for the fan unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2013Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Tim Turrini-Rochford, Stuart James Steele, Stephen Benjamin Courtney

Patent number: 10006711Abstract: The invention relates to a hand dryer for drying a user's hands by means of an airflow discharged through an air outlet on the hand dryer. The airflow is generated by a motor-driven fan unit. The hand dryer comprises a plurality of air intakes, the air intakes being connected to the fan unit to form a plurality of parallel air-intake paths. Each air intake path is provided with a separate air-filter. The air-filters may be replaceable for individual replacement as required.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2013Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Peter David Gammack, Leigh Michael Ryan, Stuart James Steele, Stephen Benjamin Courtney
