Abstract
An air purifier device is provided including a fan unit including a fan arranged to produce an air flow through the air purifier device, and a filter unit including a filter arranged to filter the air flow produced by the fan. The filter unit is adapted to stand on a support surface when the air purifier device is positioned for use. The air purifier device further includes a coupling mechanism arranged to secure the fan unit on top of the filter unit. The coupling mechanism includes two release means arranged on opposite outer sides of the fan unit, and the fan unit is releasable from the filter unit by actuating the two release means. The filter unit may be removed from the fan unit by a single action (or movement) by the user, whereby filter replacement of the air purifier device is facilitated.
