Adjustable tower fan with removable supports for orientation
The patent US12006940B2 describes a versatile fan designed for both horizontal and vertical orientations. The fan features a body with a first and second end, equipped with at least two leg support members. In horizontal mode, one leg support member is attached to the first end, while the second is removably connected to the second end. In vertical mode, the first leg support remains at the first end, and the second leg support can be detached from the second end and reattached to the first end. Each end of the fan body includes a groove that accommodates the leg supports, and the design incorporates at least two half rings that fit within these grooves to secure the leg supports in place.
Additionally, the fan is equipped with a double crossflow blower, which consists of two blowers positioned on either side of a centrally mounted motor. This configuration allows for efficient airflow in both orientations. The claims also specify that the grooves at each end of the fan body can support multiple leg members simultaneously, enhancing stability in vertical positioning. Each leg support member is designed with two contact points for stability on surfaces. The fan's innovative design allows for easy reconfiguration between orientations, making it adaptable for various settings and user preferences.
