Humidifying apparatus
First Claim
1. A humidifying apparatus comprising:
- a base comprising an air flow generating device for generating a first air flow and an upper cylindrical section for conveying the first air flow to a nozzle;
the nozzle comprising a first nozzle base comprising at least one first air inlet for receiving the first air flow, at least one first air outlet for emitting the first air flow, a second nozzle base comprising at least one second air inlet for receiving a second air flow, and at least one second air outlet for emitting the second air flow, the nozzle defining an opening through which air from outside the humidifying apparatus is drawn by air emitted from said at least one first air outlet, wherein the at least one first air outlet and the at least one second air outlet extend at least partially about the opening;
a water tank comprising an outlet duct for conveying the second air flow to the at least one second air inlet; and
a humidifying system for humidifying the second air flow,wherein the water tank is mounted on the base to form a body and the nozzle is mounted on the body such that the first nozzle base is inserted into the upper cylindrical section of the base and the second nozzle base is inserted into the outlet duct of the water tank.

Abstract
Humidifying apparatus includes a base housing an impeller and a motor for driving the impeller to generate a first air flow. A nozzle includes an interior passage for receiving the first air flow and an air outlet for emitting the first air flow. The nozzle defines an opening through which air from outside the apparatus is drawn by air emitted from the air outlet. The apparatus is configured to humidify a second air flow, which is emitted from a plurality of second air outlets. The second air flow is humidified with water supplied from a water tank mounted on the base. The water tank has an upwardly curved upper surface. The nozzle is mounted on the apparatus so that the upper surface of the water tank at least partially covers a lower section of an external surface of the nozzle.
