  • FAN
    Publication number: 20100254800
    Abstract: A bladeless fan assembly (100) for creating an air current comprises a nozzle (1) mounted on a base (16) housing means for creating an air flow through the nozzle (1). The nozzle (1) comprises an interior passage (10) for receiving the air flow from the base (16) and a mouth (12) through which the air flow is emitted. The nozzle (1) extends about an axis to define an opening (2) through which air from outside the fan assembly (100) is drawn by the air flow emitted from the mouth (12). The nozzle (1) comprises a surface over which the mouth (12) is arranged to direct the air flow. The surface comprises a diffuser portion (46) tapering away from the axis, and a guide portion (48) downstream from the diffuser portion (46) and angled thereto.
