Abstract: There is provided a nozzle for a fan assembly. The nozzle comprises an air inlet, a first air outlet for emitting an air flow and a second air outlet for emitting an air flow, the first and second air outlets together defining an aggregate air outlet of the nozzle, a single internal air passageway extending between the air inlet and the first and second air outlets, and a valve for controlling an air flow from the air inlet to the first and second air outlets. The valve comprises one or more valve members that are moveable to adjust the size of the first air outlet relative to the size of the second air outlet while keeping the size of the aggregate air outlet of the nozzle constant, and wherein the air outlets are oriented towards a convergent point.

Abstract: There is provided a nozzle for a fan assembly. The nozzle comprises a nozzle body, an air inlet for receiving an air flow, and one or more air outlets for emitting the air flow. The nozzle body has the general shape of a truncated ellipsoid, with a first truncation forming a face of the nozzle body and a second truncation forming a base of the nozzle body. The one or more air outlets are provided on the face of the nozzle body. Preferably, the air inlet is provided at the base of the nozzle body.

Abstract: There is provided a nozzle for a fan assembly. The nozzle comprises an air inlet for receiving an air flow, a first air outlet for emitting an air flow and a second air outlet for emitting an air flow. The first and second air outlets comprise a pair of curved slots that are provided on a face of the nozzle, and the first and second air outlets are oriented towards a convergent point. The first air outlet and the second air outlet may be oriented towards a convergent point that is located on a central axis of the face of the nozzle.

Abstract: There is provided a nozzle for a fan assembly. The nozzle comprises an air inlet, one or more air outlets for emitting the air flow from the nozzle, the one or more air outlets together defining a total air outlet of the nozzle, a single internal air passageway extending between the air inlet and the one or more air outlets, and a valve for varying a size of the total air outlet of the nozzle. The valve is arranged such that, in a directed mode, one or more first sections of the total air outlet are occluded and one or more second sections of the total air outlet are at least partially open and, in a diffuse mode, both the one or more first sections and the one or more second sections of the total air outlet are at least partially open.
