Patent number: 11859791Abstract: A lighting device includes a light permeable body which has an aperture through which light enters the body. A light source is moveable relative to the body to enable the lighting device to adopt selectively one of a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the light source is positioned over the aperture so that light emitted by the light source passes through the body before illuminating the room. In the second configuration, the light source is spaced laterally from the aperture so that the room is illuminated directly by light emitted from the light source.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Jacob Dyson, William John Darvill, Ishay Halmut, Anthony James Hall, Davide Leoni, Faye Webber, Simon Christopher Davey

Patent number: 11054121Abstract: A lighting device includes a support and an arm which is mountable on the support in a selected orientation for movement relative thereto. The arm has a channel extending at least partially along the length of the arm. A light source is mounted on the arm. A first electrical connector is mounted on the support, and a second electrical connector is mounted on the arm. The second electrical connector is detachably electrically connected to the first electrical connector, and is moveable along the channel with lengthwise movement of the arm relative to the support.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Jacob Dyson, William John Darvill, Toby James Shelton-Smith, Davide Leoni, Mark Kristof Detre

Patent number: 10054288Abstract: A lighting device includes a baffle extending about an optical axis to surround a light source, and a reflector module connected to the baffle. The reflector module includes a main reflector having a light exit opening from which a light output of the lighting device is projected towards a target area, the optical axis passing through the opening, and reflective surfaces adjacent to the opening for reflecting light incident thereon away from the opening. The reflector module further includes auxiliary reflectors for adjusting the shape of the light output of the lighting device. Each auxiliary reflector has a reflective surface, and is moveable relative to the main reflector between a stowed position and a deployed position in which at least part of the reflective surface of the auxiliary reflector is exposed, by the opening of the main reflector, to reflect light incident thereon away from the target area.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Jacob Dyson, Paul Dominic Whittaker, William John Darvill

Patent number: 9903602Abstract: A humidifying apparatus includes a body and a nozzle detachably mounted on the body. The body includes a chamber, a water tank for supplying water to the chamber, and a motor-driven impeller for generating an air flow over water stored in the chamber. An ultraviolet radiation emitting lamp irradiates water stored in the chamber. The air flow is humidified with water from the chamber, and conveyed to the nozzle for emission from the apparatus. A sensor detects the position of the nozzle relative to the body, and a drive circuit controls the actuation of the lamp depending on an output from the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventor: William John Darvill
