Abstract
A personal and portable misting device having at least a pump unit operatively coupled to an inlet tube and an outlet tube with a misting nozzle attached to the outlet tube is described. The inlet tube includes a distal end that is to be coupled to a water source. The distal end has a plug attached to it that is designed to be received in the end of a drain spout of a hard-sided cooler to utilize the melted ice-water typically contained in the cooler as the water source.
Claims19
A personal misting device for attachment to a drain spout of a hard sided cooler, the misting device comprising:
- a pump unit having a housing, an electric pump, and a power connector for coupling to a DC power source;
- a misting head;
- a cooler drain spout connector including (i) a drain spout plug with proximal and distal ends, a longitudinal length defining a longitudinal axis and first and second bores extending from the proximal plug end to the distal plug end, and (ii) a pressure equalization tube (a) being partially received in the first bore at the distal end, (b) having a length of at least 1.5″, (c) extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis and being canted back towards the drain spout plug, and (d) having a distal open tube end;
- an outlet tube having a first end coupled to the electric pump and a second end coupled to the misting head;
- and
- an inlet tube having a first end coupled to the electric pump and a second end coupled to the second bore of the cooler drain spout plug at the proximal end.
A personal misting device for attachment to a drain spout of a hard sided cooler, the misting device comprising:
- a pump unit having and a housing, an electric pump, a USB connector for coupling to a DC power source, an on/off switch, and a controller, the controller being configured to manage the operation of the pump;
- a misting head;
- a cooler drain spout connector including (i) a drain spout plug with proximal and distal ends, a longitudinal length defining a longitudinal axis and first and second bores extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and (ii) a pressure equalization tube (a) being partially received in the first bore at the distal end, (b) having a length of at least 1.5″, (c) extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis and being canted back towards the drain spout plug, and (d) having a distal open tube end;
- an outlet tube having a first end coupled to the electric pump and a second end coupled to the misting head;
- an inlet tube having a first end coupled to the electric pump and a second end coupled to the second bore of the cooler drain spout plug at the proximal end;
- and
- a clip located proximate the misting head for securing the outlet tube and/or misting head to a desired article.
