Abstract: A columnar air moving device can comprise separately formed modular stator vanes in a stator vane assembly. The stator vanes can be arranged in a radial pattern, and can direct air in an axial direction. The modular stator vanes, as well as other components of the stator vane assembly, can be replaced, adjusted, and/or removed from the columnar air moving device.

Abstract: An air moving device includes a housing member, a rotary fan assembly, and a nozzle. The air moving device further includes a light source member mounted within the nozzle. The light source member can be placed within a flow of air moving out the end of the nozzle in a generally columnar pattern. The flow of air can be used to cool the light source member. A portion of the nozzle can be transparent, allowing the light from the light source member to emanate radially, as well as longitudinally.

Abstract: An air moving system includes an air moving device including a housing member, a rotary fan assembly, and a nozzle, the housing including a plurality of air intake vents. The nozzle is configured to move relative to a longitudinal axis of the air moving device. The air moving system includes a ceiling grid structure. The air moving device is configured to rest within a grid within the ceiling grid structure or within an opening in the ceiling.

Abstract: An air moving device includes a housing member, a rotary fan assembly, and a nozzle, the housing including a plurality of air vents. The air moving device further includes at least one anti-drip structure in the form of a peripheral lip member for inhibiting water from entering the air moving device. The air moving device further includes a baffle member that acts to redirect a volume of air that enters through the plurality of air vents.

Abstract: Air moving device includes a housing, an impeller in the housing for generating a downward air flow, and vanes in the housing in close proximity to and a selected distance below the impeller to straighten the air flow. The device produces an air flow that substantially remains in a column over a substantial distance. The method includes producing an air flow that substantially remains in a column over a substantial distance and directing the air flow from the ceiling towards the floor to provide temperature destratification of the air in an enclosed space. The method also includes directing warm air from the ceiling to the floor and storing heat in the floor, apparatus on the floor and ground under the floor. The stored heat is released when the ceiling is cooler than the floor.

Abstract: An identification tag assembly comprising a one-piece molded plastic identification member with a plurality of radially extending circumferentially spaced flexible foldable identification indicia receiving means and a flexible connecting strap portion having an enlarged connecting head portion with a curved pointed tip portion and an elongated cutting blade slot; and a one-piece molded connecting member having a slot for receiving the connecting head portion.

Abstract: A dispenser which includes an elastic reservoir for sustaining pressure on material to be dispensed from the reservoir includes a rotatable actuator for actuating a piston for charging the reservoir. The charging piston is integral with the actuator, and the chamber or cylinder for the piston, as well as the reservoir support are integral with the container, thereby providing for a simple construction.
