Portable misting device

An improved portable misting fan device of the type formed by a body carrying fan means for creating and moving a stream of air, the body further accommodating a reservoir for providing a fluid source, and the body further accommodating a power source for driving the fan means and electrical means for driving the power source, and the body having a nozzle to direct misted fluid into the stream of air created by the fan means, the improvement comprising,

• a mist generator carried within said body,
• said mist generator being formed by a first low pressure reservoir and a second high pressure reservoir,
• a fluid connection interconnecting said first and second reservoirs,
• a pump carried within the body and adapted to pump fluid from the first low pressure reservoir to said second high pressure reservoir,
• actuator means for actuating said pump,
• a fluid supply tube interconnecting said second high pressure reservoir to said nozzle,
• valve means associated with said fluid supply tube to alternatively open and close the fluid path to said nozzle,
• and actuator means for actuating said valve means,
• whereby a user may actuate said actuator means causing said valve means to open which in turn releases misted fluid through said nozzle into the air stream created by the fan means.

An improved portable misting fan device of the type formed by a body carrying fan means for creating and moving a stream of air, the body further accommodating a power source for driving the fan means and electrical means for driving the power source, a reservoir for providing a source of fluid, the improvement comprising in combination,

• a powered mist generator carried within said body,
• driving means associated with said mist generator for driving said mist generator;
• actuator means in communication with said driving means and, in turn, actuating said mist generator,
• said mist generator being in fluid communication with the reservoir to be provided with a fluid source,
• and a mist nozzle to receive a fluid mist from the mist generator and introduce the mist into the air stream created by the fan means when said fan means is activated,
• whereby actuation of said powered mist generator provides a continuous stream of fluid mist into the air stream created by the fan means.

An improved portable misting device of the type formed by a body having an upper end and a lower end, a reservoir carried in the lower end and provided with a fluid therein, pump means carried in the body for pumping fluid from the reservoir, drive means for driving the pump means and electrical means for driving the drive means, the improvement comprising in combination,

• the body further provided with an air pump carried therein, drive means for driving said air pump,
• said drive means being in communication with the electrical means for driving said drive means and, in turn, said air pump,
• an aspirator nozzle carried on said body,
• said aspirator nozzle being in fluid communication with said reservoir and being in further communication with said air pump,
• whereby actuation of said pump means and said air pump delivers a mist fluid to said aspirator nozzle which expels the misted fluid therefrom.

An improved portable misting device of the type formed by a body having an upper end and a lower end, a fluid reservoir formed in the lower end thereof and carrying a fluid source therein, and the upper end provided with a mist nozzle carried thereon, the improvement comprising in combination,

• an air pump carried by said body for receiving and pressurizing air therein,
• drive means carried by said body for driving said air pump and electrical means carried by the body for driving said drive means,
• said air pump being in fluid communication with the mist nozzle and the mist nozzle being in further communication with the reservoir,
• the mist nozzle comprising an aspirator nozzle adapted to receive pressurized air from said air pump and fluid from the reservoir,
• whereby upon actuation of said drive means, pressurized air is delivered to said aspirator nozzle which, in turn, will draw fluid from the reservoir thereby to deliver a misted fluid for expulsion through said aspirator nozzle.

A portable misting fan device of the type formed by a body carrying fan means for creating and moving a stream of air, the body further accommodating a power source for driving the fan means and electrical means for driving the power source, the improvement comprising, in combination,

• the body further including an separate compartment therein, said separate compartment being sized to receive and store a supply of ice,
• said separate compartment provided with vent means for establishing an air path therethrough,
• said fan means being positioned within body to facilitate the movement of air through said separate compartment,
• a powered mist generator carried within said body,
• driving means associated with said mist generator for driving said mist generator,
• actuator means in communication with said driving means for actuating said driving means and in turn, actuating said mist generator,
• said mist generator being in fluid communication with the reservoir to be provided with a fluid source,
• and a mist nozzle to receive a fluid mist from the mist generator and direct the mist into the air stream created by the fan means when said fan means is activated,
• whereby activation of the fan means will draw air through said separate compartment to provide a stream of cooled air and activation of said mist generator will provide a stream of misted fluid.
