Enhanced axial air mover system with handle

Abstract

Implementations of an enhanced axial air mover system address various issues such as drying performance, transportability, storage, use, and assembly. Some implementations include ergonomic positioning of a carrying handle relative to positioning of a fan-assembly to make the system easier to carry. Enclosures with variable diameter profiles increase air flow performance. A floor edge allows for flush positioning of the air mover's outlet to improve flow of air. Various supports and engagement members allow for horizontal and/or vertical engagement of a plurality of the air movers for storage or increased air moving capacity for a given application. An alignment guide assists with positioning of the air mover with respect to a room wall to enhance air flow within the room. A cord retaining system provides an enhanced approach for securing the air mover's electrical cord. Grill guards have slotted ends to assist with assembly of the air mover.

1 . An air mover system comprising:
 a fan assembly including a propeller and a motor, the propeller coupled to the motor, the fan assembly having a center of gravity; and   a housing assembly including an enclosure and a handle extending therefrom, the handle including a grip, the enclosure having an interior bounded by an inlet and an outlet, the fan assembly positioned within the interior to position the center of gravity at a first point on a first dimension extending from the inlet and outlet, the grip positioned along a second dimension substantially perpendicular to the first dimension.   
   
   
       2 . The air mover system of  claim 1  wherein first dimension is horizontally oriented and the second dimension is vertically oriented. 
   
   
       3 . The air mover system of  claim 1  wherein the propeller is positioned a first distance from the outlet and a second distance from the inlet and wherein the motor is positioned a third distance from the outlet and a fourth distance from the inlet. 
   
   
       4 . The air mover system of  claim 3  wherein the third distance is smaller than the fourth distance and wherein third distance is smaller than the first distance.
