  • Publication number: 20050238478
    Abstract: A multi-directional tower fan includes a base for supporting the fan on a surface, a first housing attached to the base, a second housing rotatably attached to the first housing, a single elongate rotating blower extending within both the first and second housing and a motor for rotating the blower. The first and second housings both have an inlet opening, an outlet opening and an interior chamber. The interior chambers of the housings are axially aligned with each other and the blower extends from the interior chamber of the first housing to the interior chamber of the second housing to simultaneously force air out through the outlet openings of the first and second housings. By rotating the second housing with respect to the first housing, the air being forced out of the outlet opening of the first housing may be directed in a different direction than the air being forced out of the outlet opening of the second housing.
