Abstract

See full text

A humidifier is disclosed. The humidifier includes a housing, in which a moisture source resides, and a fan assembly connected to the housing for moving dry air into the housing, through the water source, wherefrom the dry air picks up moisture, and finally out of the humidifier. The fan assembly is detachably connected to the housing and has a stand so that the fan assembly can be in an upright position when detached from the humidifier housing and function as a stand-alone fan. The humidifier housing has multiple openings for accommodating the power cord of the fan assembly. In operation, the fan assembly is attached to the humidifier housing to move air into the humidifier housing to pick up moisture from the source of water, and subsequently out of the humidifier housing to circulate humidified air; the fan assembly is then detached from the humidifier housing and operated to circulate unhumidified air. The power cord may be placed through any one of the multiple openings on the humidifier housing so that the humidifier may be positioned in a way that is the most space-saving, convenient and/or aesthetically pleasing.
