  • Patent number: 9919252
    Abstract: An air purifier device is provided including a fan unit including a fan arranged to produce an air flow through the air purifier device, and a filter unit including a filter arranged to filter the air flow produced by the fan. The filter unit is adapted to stand on a support surface when the air purifier device is positioned for use. The air purifier device further includes a coupling mechanism arranged to secure the fan unit on top of the filter unit. The coupling mechanism includes two release means arranged on opposite outer sides of the fan unit, and the fan unit is releasable from the filter unit by actuating the two release means. The filter unit may be removed from the fan unit by a single action (or movement) by the user, whereby filter replacement of the air purifier device is facilitated.

  • Patent number: 9694369
    Abstract: An air purifier device includes a chamber defined by a side wall arranged to guide an air flow through the air purifier device. The air purifier device further includes at least one emitter electrode and at least one collector plate electrode arranged to ionize airborne particles. The at least one emitter electrode is arranged to extend from the side wall and inwards in the chamber and the at least one collector plate electrode is arranged to extend from the side wall and inwards in the chamber. The air purifier device enables the side wall to be manufactured from e.g. plastic, or other non-conductive or non-magnetic material. This in turn may enable a lower weight of the air purifier device and facilitated manufacturing, as the side walls of the chamber e.g. may be formed by plastic moulding just as many other parts of the air purifier device.

  • Patent number: 9636617
    Abstract: An air purifier device is provided including a fan arranged to produce an air flow through the air purifier device, and a fan duct for guiding the air flow produced by the fan. The fan duct extends in an upright direction of the air purifier device. The air purifier device further includes an air intake arranged below a lower end of the fan duct, and an exhaust arranged at an upper end of the fan duct so as to exhaust purified air in an upward direction from the air purifier device when the air purifier device is in use. The fan duct is flared in direction from an intermediate portion of the fan duct towards both it ends, and the fan is arranged at least partly in the intermediate portion. A facilitated circulation of air through the room and through the air purifier device standing in the room is provided.
