Some embodiments may further include a base. Such base may further be removably attached to the globe housing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present disclosure relates to a fan assembly including a fan blade disposed within a globe.

2. Description of the Related Art

Accordingly embodiments of the present disclosure include a fan assembly which having at least one or more fan blades, a globe housing and a high-efficiency motor. A fan assembly in accordance with the present disclosure uses about 80% less energy as compared to those currently available.

SUMMARY OF THE CLAIMED INVENTION

Embodiments of the claimed invention include a fan assembly. Such fan assembly may include a plurality of fan blades, a globe housing encasing the plurality of blades, and a motor operable to power the plurality of fan blades. Some embodiments may further include a base. Such base may further be removably attached to the globe housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The fan assembly described herein provides an increased output efficiency through the use of virtually friction-free design. Exemplary fan assembly embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure are illustrated in FIGS. 1-12.
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of an exemplary fan assembly embodiment. As illustrated, some embodiments may include a base coupled with a globe housing and having a plurality of fan blades disposed therein. The globe housing may be shaped substantially like a globe. In addition, the globe shape may include openings into an interior of the housing, and each of the openings may be configured in a spiral. While the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 includes the base, other embodiments may include the globe housing without such a base. For example, the globe housing may be mounted to a mounting surface rather than attached to a base.
FIG. 2 illustrates a top, rear perspective view of an exemplary fan assembly similar to that of FIG. 1. FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate side views thereof. FIG. 5 illustrates a front, perspective view of an embodiment of a fan assembly in accordance with the present disclosure. FIG. 6 illustrates a top plan view thereof.
FIG. 7 illustrates an enlarged side view of an exemplary fan assembly in accordance with the present disclosure. FIG. 8 illustrates a bottom plan view thereof. FIGS. 9-11 illustrate rear views of an embodiment of a fan assembly in accordance with the present disclosure. Finally, FIG. 12 illustrates an enlarged side view of an embodiment of a fan assembly in accordance with the present disclosure. The fan assembly embodiments as illustrate in FIGS. 1-12 can each include a high-efficiency motor operable to power the fan blades.
While FIGS. 1-12 generally depict the fan assembly coupled with a base, it should be recognized that the globe housing and plurality of fan blades can be detached from the base. For example, a fan assembly in accordance with the present disclosure can include only a globe housing having a plurality of fan blades disposed therein and a motor operable to power the plurality of fan blades.
The foregoing detailed description of the technology has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the technology to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The described embodiments were chosen in order to best explain the principles of the technology, its practical application, and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the technology in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the technology be defined by the claim.

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A fan assembly comprising:

a plurality of fan blades;

a globe housing encasing the plurality of blades; and

a motor operable to power the plurality of fan blades.

2. The fan assembly of claim 1, further comprising a base.

3. The fan assembly of claim 2, wherein the base is removably attached to the globe housing.
