Abstract
The forced air device for use with an outdoor table is a device that is used to keep flies and insects away from an outdoor table, and also to act as a cooling device. The disclosed device generates a flow of cooled air using dry ice. The forced air device for use with an outdoor table includes a fan module, a CO2 module, a vent module, a control system, a first plurality of locking tabs, and a second plurality of locking tabs. The first plurality of locking tabs attaches the fan module to the CO2 module. The second plurality of locking tabs attaches the CO2 module to the vent module. The control system creates a cooled airflow through the disclosed device from the fan module to the vent module.
