Abstract
An evaporative air cooler is described. The evaporative air cooler includes a housing defining an interior of the evaporative air cooler; a tank positioned adjacent to a top portion of the housing, wherein the tank is configured to receive, store, and release liquid; a mister in fluid communication with the tank, wherein the mister is configured to create a mist from the liquid; a filter structure with a filter, wherein the filter is configured to absorb the mist; a fan configured to draw the air into the interior, wherein the air is cooled by at least one of the mist and the filter, and wherein the fan directs the air through the filter structure and from the interior; and a clip coupled to the housing.
Claims19
An evaporative air cooler for cooling air, comprising:
- a housing defining an interior of the evaporative air cooler;
- a tank positioned adjacent to a top portion of the housing, wherein the tank is configured to receive, store, and release liquid;
- a mister in fluid communication with the tank, wherein the mister is configured to create a mist from the liquid;
- a filter structure with a filter, wherein the filter is configured to absorb the mist produced by the mister positioned above the filter structure;
- a fan configured to draw the air into the interior, wherein the air is cooled by at least one of the mist and the filter, and wherein the fan directs the air through the filter structure and from the interior;
- a clip coupled to the housing, the clip configured to removably and selectively couple the evaporative air cooler to an object;
- and
- an angling member coupled to the housing,
- wherein the clip includes a grip end extending beyond a clip base securely attached to a base of the angling member in a closed position of the clip, and
- wherein the mister is configured to distribute the mist into a space defined between the fan and the filter structure within the evaporative air cooler.
