Abstract: An air circulator with a vane control system to direct and adjust airflow patterns. According to an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides adjustable, vertical vanes that are attached to the outlet of a tower fan. According to a preferred embodiment, the vanes are pivotally mounted in such a way that by turning a knob, the vanes can either be directed into a focused air-flow pattern or adjusted to a divergent air-flow pattern, or at any setting in between.

Abstract: An improved fan design with an impact absorbing structure is provided. The improved fan design includes a lower fan assembly connected to an upper fan assembly using a mounting bracket. The lower fan assembly may include a fan base having multiple supporting legs which are preferably rotatably connected to the lower fan assembly. The upper fan assembly of the present invention may include a fan motor and fan blades enclosed within a protective structure. The protective structure of the present invention may preferably include an outer fan cover, a fan grille, an external cage and a perimeter shock absorbing ring extending around the circumference of the outer fan cover. The perimeter shock absorbing ring may include an inner surface, an inner absorption layer and an outer surface. The inner absorption layer may preferably include one or more flexible ribs.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an improved fan design. According to an exemplary preferred embodiment, the improved fan design of the present invention preferably includes a fan main body having fan blades, a front grill, a flexible guide cone, an air inlet, and supporting legs movable from a first position to a second position. According to preferred embodiments, the flexible guide cone is preferably also movable from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the flexible guide cone preferably forms a first shape which conforms to the surface of the air inlet. In a second position, the flexible guide cone preferably extends away from the air inlet.

Abstract: A fan clamp is provided for supporting a fan on a support surface by clamping to the support surface. The fan clamp includes a clamp assembly having an upper clamp member for engaging a top side of the support surface, a lower clamp member for engaging a bottom side of the support surface and a screw adjustment assembly extending through the lower and upper clamp members for clamping the upper clamp assembly and lower clamp assembly to the support surface. The clamp assembly further includes a shield extending from the lower clamp assembly through the upper clamp assembly that partially surrounds the screw adjustment assembly to block the screw adjustment assembly from being visible when the lower and upper clamp assemblies move away from each other to engage a support surface. The fan clamp may further include an arm extending from the clamp assembly for supporting the fan. The arm may be a swing arm that is rotativity connected to the fan clamp.

Abstract: The present invention is related in general to air circulators, and in particular, to an air circulator with a vein control system to direct and adjust airflow patterns. According to an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides adjustable, vertical veins that are attached to the outlet of a tower fan. According to a preferred embodiment, the veins are pivotally mounted in such a way that by turning a knob, the veins can either be directed into a focused air-flow pattern or adjusted to a divergent air-flow pattern, or at any setting in between.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved portable steam humidifier. According to a preferred embodiment, the improved humidifier of the present invention preferably includes a spiral mixing chamber connected to a steam chamber, a spiral outlet duct, an inlet duct and an outlet grill. According to a preferred embodiment, the inlet duct preferably receives air from an inlet fan and directs the air into the spiral mixing chamber where the air is mixed with water vapor from the steam chamber. According to a further preferred embodiment, the air is further directed from the spiral mixing chamber through the spiral outlet duct out through the outlet grill.
