Patent number: 11022146Abstract: There is provided a fan assembly comprising a motor-driven impeller for creating an airflow and a nozzle comprising a first air outlet. The nozzle defines a bore through which air from outside the fan assembly is drawn by any portion of the airflow that is emitted from the first outlet and which combines with the airflow emitted from the first air outlet to produce an amplified airflow. The fan assembly further comprises a second air outlet arranged such that any portion of the airflow that is emitted from the second air outlet does not draw air through the bore defined by the nozzle thereby producing a non-amplified airflow.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Thomas Richard Mogridge, Ryan Alexander Hughes, James Gregory Forrest, Steven Eduard Peet, Joseph Robert Carling, James Henry Campbell Terry-Collins

Patent number: 10260529Abstract: Described is a fan assembly comprising a body comprising an air inlet, an air outlet, and means for generating an air flow through the body. The fan assembly also comprises a nozzle for receiving the air flow from the body and for emitting the air flow, a filter upstream from the air inlet and having an upstream surface and a downstream surface, a seat on the body having an upwardly facing surface for supporting the filter, and sealing means for forming a seal between the filter and the body to define a flow path between the downstream surface of the filter and the air inlet.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Ryan Alexander Hughes, Steven Eduard Peet, Jason Ryan King
