Abstract
A portable misting device and fan for use by sunbathers and those engaged in athletic pursuits. The fan encloses a fan blade unit and the misting device includes a body which contains a volume of a liquid and which is mounted to a rear of the fan by a mounting bracket. A spray applicator extends from the body and is in a direction above and toward a front of said fan blade unit. The spray applicator is actuable to withdraw fluid from within the misting device body and to supply it as an atomized spray in front of the fan blade unit. The fan blade unit cools and distributes the spray in a direction chosen by the user.
Claims18
A spray misting device for use with a portable fan for creating a cooling atomized mist spray, the fan having a predetermined outline and thickness with a front and a rear and enclosing a fan blade unit between a front grille and a rear grille, said spray misting device comprising:
- a body of given dimension having a hollow interior capable of holding a predetermined volume of a liquid and an applicator for providing an atomized mist spray of said liquid;
- means for releasably securing said body to the rear of the fan so that said body is positioned behind the fan and said applicator is positioned at a point above the fan blade unit;
- and
- means for actuating said applicator to issue said mist spray from above and in a direction towards a front of the fan blade unit;
- whereby the fan blade unit generates a current of air which cools said atomized mist spray and delivers said spray to a user thereof.
A combination spray misting device and portable fan for creating a cooled atomized mist spray, comprising:
- said fan having an outline with a front and a rear separated by a predetermined thickness, a fan blade unit being contained within said fan;
- said misting device having a body containing a volume of a liquid and an applicator means including a nozzle for supplying said liquid in an atomized mist spray;
- and
- releasably securing means for mounting said misting device to said rear of said fan so that said nozzle is positioned above said fan blade unit and provides said atomized mist spray in a direction in front of said fan blade unit;
- whereby said atomized mist spray is cooled and distributed to a user by air currents generated by said fan blade unit.
