• a fitting coupling the pair of tubes to the housing, the fitting being positionable within the hole wherein the fitting directs airflow outwardly from the hole and into the pair of tubes, the fitting including:
• a neck being positionable within the hole, the neck having a diameter being complementary to a diameter of the hole wherein the neck configured to be secured within the hole by a friction fit, the neck being perpendicular to the bottom wall while the fitting is coupled to the housing wherein the neck directs airflow outwardly from the hole and downwardly relative to the bottom wall of the housing;
• and
• a pair of projections being coupled to the neck wherein the pair of projections extend outwardly from the neck in opposing directions, the pair of projections being parallel to the bottom wall of the housing while the fitting is coupled to the housing, each projection of the pair of projections having a diameter being complementary to a diameter of a respective tube of the pair of tubes wherein each projection of the pair of projections is configured to be secured to the respective tube of the pair of tubes by a friction fit;
• a pair of fasteners releasably coupling each tube of the pair of tubes to the associated arm rest of the pair of arm rests, each fastener of the pair of fasteners including:
• a pair of rings, each ring of the pair of rings having a diameter exceeding a diameter of a respective tube of the pair of tubes wherein the respective tube of the pair of tubes is positionable to extend through the pair of rings;
• and
• a belt being coupled to and extending between the pair of rings, the belt being elongated wherein the belt is positionable to extend around the associated arm rest of the pair of arm rests to secure the respective tube of the pair of tubes to the associated arm rest of the pair of arm rests;
• a control being electrically coupled to the processor, the control being actuatable to signal the processor to actuate the pair of motors, the control being positioned on the front side of the peripheral wall of the housing wherein the control is configured to be accessible to the user while the housing is coupled to the back rest of the chair and while the user is standing behind the back rest of the chair, the control including:
• an off setting wherein the control signals the processor to turn the pair of motors off while the off setting of the control is actuated;
• a low setting wherein the control signals the processor to actuate the pair of motors to rotate the pair of fans at a first speed of a plurality of speeds while the low setting of the control is actuated;
• a medium setting wherein the control signals the processor to actuate the pair of motors to rotate the pair of fans at a second speed of the plurality of speeds while the medium setting of the control is actuated, the second speed of the plurality of speeds being faster than the first speed of the plurality of speeds;
• and
• a high setting wherein the control signals the processor to actuate the pair of motors to rotate the pair of fans at a third speed of the plurality of speeds while the high setting of the control is actuated, the third speed of the plurality of speeds being faster than the second speed of the plurality of speeds;
• an internal power source being electrically coupled to the processor, the internal power source being positioned within the interior space proximate to a first lateral side of the pair of lateral sides of the peripheral wall of the housing, the internal power source being a battery, the battery being rechargeable;
• a charging port being electrically coupled to the internal power source wherein the charging port is configured to receive a charging cable to transfer power from an external power source to the internal power source, the charging port being inset into the first lateral side of the pair of lateral sides of the peripheral wall of the housing, the charging port being exposed within the first lateral side of the pair of lateral sides of the peripheral wall of the housing;
• and
• a plurality of straps being coupled to the housing, the plurality of straps being positionable around the back rest of the chair wherein the plurality of straps releasably secure the housing to a back side of the back rest of the chair whereby the back rest is positionable between the housing and the user, the plurality of straps including:
