Abstract
An improved misting bottle and fan apparatus capable of both convective cooling and evaporative cooling independent of either other. The operator can select to have the convective cooling effects of air being blown over the operator. The operator can select to have the evaporative cooling effects of pressurized fluid forced through a small orifice showered down at the operator. In the alternative, the operator is able to select both style of cooling using this device. The positioning and shape of the atomizing device in relation to the forced air is unique as well as the shaping of the air flow optimizes the cooling effects. Location of the atomizing device is proscribed as to prevent the occurrence of drips and runs commonly associated with misting fans.
Claims12
An improved misting bottle and fan apparatus comprising;
- a bottle section, said bottle section containing a vessel capable of holding fluid and being able to withstand pressure of up to 6 ATM and a manual pressure inducing means interiorly located within said vessel, said pressure inducing means having a maximum pressure calibration and said bottle section having proximally located an attachment means;
- and,
- a fan portion, said fan portion having means to accelerate the air through the apparatus, a fan shroud, said shroud being optimally angled to direct and spiral said accelerated air, coupling means to interconnect said fan portion to said bottle attachment means, and an atomization device, said atomization device being capable of atomizing said fluid from said vessel through an orifice, said orifice being congruent to an outermost face of said atomizing device, said atomization device coupled to flow regulating means to control the amount of fluid atomized, said atomizing device is further sheltered by a shield, said shield being incorporated into said fan shroud at said shroud's highest point and said orifice is at least perpendicular to or extends out from an outermost edge of said shield;
- and,
- a control system that separates the means to accelerate the air from the means to control the flow of fluid into the atomization device so that the two said means can function autonomously;
- and,
- a piping system which is capable of transferring said fluid from said vessel to said atomization device in communication with said flow regulating means;
- and,
- an electrical connection between said means to accelerate the air and said control system that contains the means to accelerate the air.
