Example 1

Fig. 1 is an embodiment of an apparatus including: an attachment portion 622 attachable to a cloth 620 (clothes, shirt, coat, body-worn cloth, etc.), and an air blowing portion 301 supported by the attachment portion 622, wherein the air blowing portion 301 blows an air flow in a state where the attachment portion 622 is supported by the cloth 620 worn on a human body 609. The cloth article 620 worn on the human body 609 is worn on the human body 609.

The structure of the mounting portion 622 is disclosed in fig. 7 to 12 and 34 to 37. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the mounting portion 622 for supporting the blower 301 is hung on the collar 621 of the garment 620. The garment 620 is a garment. The garment 620 is an article of clothing that is worn on the body. The garment 620 is a garment. A shirt can be worn as outer garment 620. A shirt is a cloth article worn on the upper body. The inner side of the garment 620 refers to the space between the garment 620 and the body 609. The inner side of the wearing article means a space between the wearing article and the human body. The gap 636 between the garment 620 and the person 609 is the inside of the garment 620. In the present invention, the "collar" is provided at the edge of a garment so that the head is exposed from the garment. For example, the rim of the hole for passing the head through the T-shirt is also a collar.

In the present invention, a person 609 wears a garment 620 and a helmet 640. However, the human body 609 does not necessarily wear the helmet 640. In the case where the human body 609 does not wear the helmet 640, the effect associated with the helmet 640 is not necessarily obtained.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the mounting portion 622 includes the arm portion 623 serving as the holding portion 623. The arm 623 holds the rim 621 or collar 621 of the garment 620. The arm portion 623 includes an outer portion 626 and an inner portion 627. The inner portion 627 is interposed between the garment 620 and the person 609. When the human body 609 wears an underwear 655 between the human body 609 and the garment 620 (the underwear 655 is another article of clothing than the garment 620), the inner portion 627 of the arm 623 is inserted between the garment 620 and the underwear 655 or between the underwear 655 and the human body 609.

In the present invention, the "outerwear" is a cloth article. "underwear" is a piece of cloth worn between the outer garment and the human body. The human body does not have to wear underwear. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail.

The inner portion 627 of the arm 623 contacts the garment 620 or undergarment 655 from the inner side of the garment 620. The outer portion 626 of the arm 623 is in contact with the garment 620 from outside the garment 620.

The garment 620 is clasped or clamped or pinched or clamped or fixed using the holding portion 623, i.e. the arm 623 of the mounting portion 622 from the outside and the inside of the garment 620, whereby the mounting portion 622 holds the collar 621. Therefore, the attachment portion 622 can be easily attached to and detached from the garment 620 with the garment 620 worn on the human body 609. When the arm 623 holds the garment 620, the arm 623 is the holding portion 623. When the arm portion 623 grips the garment 620, the arm portion 623 may be regarded as the gripping portion 623. When the arm portion 623 grips the garment 620, the arm portion 623 can be regarded as the gripping portion 623. When the arm portion 623 grips the garment 620, the arm portion 623 can be regarded as the grip portion 623. When the arm portion 623 grips the garment 620, the arm portion 623 may be considered as the gripping portion 623.

The mounting portion 622 shown in fig. 2 includes a fin 624 as a wind direction adjustment portion.

Arm 623 supports tab 624. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the joint portion 683 between the outer side portion 626 of the arm 623 and the inner side portion 627 of the arm 623 supports the flap 624.

As shown in fig. 2, the mounting portion 622 supports the air blowing portion 301. The air blowing portion 301 is supported by an outer portion 626 of the arm portion 623. The air blowing unit 301 is supported by an outer portion 626 of the arm 623 via a support unit 210, and the support unit 210 is provided to be rotatable or rotatable on the outer portion 626 of the arm 623.

As shown in FIG. 3, the garment 620 supports the attachment 622 including the arm 623 and the tab 624. The air supply unit 301 supported by the outer portion 626 of the arm 623 of the attachment 622 supported by the garment 620 is supported by the garment 620. Since the air supply part 301 is not in contact with the garment 620, even when the garment 620 is wetted with water, the water contained in the garment 620 can be prevented from flowing into the air supply part 301. Even when the garment 620 is wetted with water, the air blowing unit 301 does not malfunction with water, and the air blowing unit 301 continues to blow the air flow.

The flap 624 of the mounting portion 622 is arranged above the rim 621 or collar 621 of the garment 620. The airflow direction adjustment surface 625 of the vane 624 serving as the airflow direction adjustment unit faces the air blowing unit 301. The wing 624 is disposed between the air blowing part 301 and the human body 609 (for example, the neck or the head or the back or the upper body).

An attachment portion 642 including an arm portion 643 and a flap 644 is supported by the helmet 640. In fig. 1 and 3, the mounting portion 642 supported by the helmet 640 does not support the air-blowing portion. Helmet 640 is a wear. Helmet 640 is a head wear. The structure of the mounting portion 642 is disclosed in fig. 30 to 33.

As shown in fig. 3, the inner portion 647 of the arm portion 643, which holds the rim 641 of the helmet 640, which is a wearing article worn on the head of the human body 609, is inserted between the helmet 640 and the head of the human body 609.

The inner portions 647 of the arms 643 contact the helmet 640 from the inside of the helmet 640. The outer portion 646 of the arm 643 contacts the helmet 640 from the outside of the helmet 640.

The attachment portion 642 holds the edge 641 by clasping, clamping, pinching, clamping, or fixing the helmet 640 from the outside and inside of the helmet 640 using the arm portion 643 of the attachment portion 642. Therefore, the attachment portion 642 can be easily attached to and detached from the helmet 640 in a state where the helmet 640 is worn by the human body 609. The mounting portion 642 may be adhered to or fixed to the helmet 640.

As shown in fig. 3, tab 644 of attachment portion 642 is disposed below edge 641 of helmet 640. The airflow direction adjustment surface 645 of the vane 644 serving as the airflow direction adjustment portion faces the air blowing portion 301. The wing 644 is located between the human body 609 (neck or head) and the air blowing part 301. The air blowing unit 301 is disposed at a position away from the helmet 640, and blows the air blown by the air blowing unit 301 toward the fins 644.

The air supply unit 301 is disposed outside the garment 620, and the air flow supplied from the air supply unit 301 is directed to the fins 624 and the human body 609 (neck and head).

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the support portion 210 supports the air blowing portion 301 so that the air blowing portion 301 is inclined with respect to the outer surface 628, and blows an air flow obliquely upward from the air blowing portion 301. Therefore, the airflow blown by the air blowing section 301 easily goes upward after contacting the outer surface 628 of the outer portion 626 of the arm section 623. This embodiment has an effect of making wind easily reach the face and head of the human body 609.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the air flow blown by the blower 301 supported by the collar 621 of the garment 620 is blown simultaneously to both the flaps 624 of the attachment portion 622 for holding the garment 620 and the flaps 644 of the attachment portion 642 for holding the helmet 640.

As shown in fig. 3, the flaps 624 are arranged above the edge 621 of the garment 620 or the arm 623 for holding the collar 621. The airflow blown from the blower 301 contacts the airflow direction adjustment surfaces 625 of the fins 624. A portion of the airflow is directed towards the inside of the garment 620 by the flaps 624.

As shown in fig. 3, the air flow blown from the air blowing section 301 simultaneously contacts both the outer surface 628 of the outer portion 626 holding the edge 621 or the collar 621 of the garment 620 from outside the garment 620 and the outer surface of the garment 620 located on the periphery of the outer surface 628. Thereby, a portion of the air stream is blown towards the outer side surface of the garment 620.

As shown in fig. 3, the tab 644 is disposed below the arm 643 that holds the edge 641 of the helmet 640. The airflow blown from the blower 301 contacts the airflow direction adjustment surface 645 of the vane 644. A portion of the airflow is directed toward the inside of the helmet 640 by the fins 644.

As shown in fig. 3, the air flow blown from the air blower 301 simultaneously contacts both the outer surface 648 of the outer portion 646 that holds the rim 641 of the helmet 640 from outside the helmet 640, and the outer surface of the helmet 640 located on the periphery of the outer surface 648. Thereby directing a portion of the airflow toward the outside surface of the helmet 640. Thereby, the helmet 640 is cooled from both the inner and outer surfaces of the helmet 640.

As shown in fig. 3, the air stream that is not in contact with either flap 624/644 or outer portion 626/646 or garment 620 or helmet 640 travels straight in contact with the neck or head of person 609.

In the above-described embodiment, the electric fan 300 is used, which can blow air from the single air blowing unit 301 to "the inside of the outer garment 620", "the outer surface of the outer garment 620", "the inside of the helmet 640", "the outer surface of the helmet 640", and "the human body 609 exposed between the outer garment 620 and the helmet 640" at the same time. In the case where the helmet 640 is not worn on the head of the human body 609, the above-described embodiment is the electric fan 300 capable of blowing the air flow from the single air blowing unit 301 to "the inner side of the outer garment 620", "the outer surface of the outer garment 620", and "the head of the human body 609 exposed from the outer garment 620" at the same time.

The present embodiment has the following effects: even when the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the head of the human body 609 is narrow, the amount of airflow flowing into the inside of the helmet 640 can be increased by the mounting portion 642.

The mounting portion 642 shown in fig. 3 is located between the hair of the head and the air blowing portion 301. Therefore, the presence of the mounting portion 642 prevents the hair from coming into contact with the air blowing portion 301. Therefore, the present embodiment has an effect of preventing hairs from being entangled in impeller 302 of air blowing unit 301.

The mounting portion 642 holding the helmet 640 shown in fig. 3 is light in weight because it does not support the air blowing unit 301. Therefore, the embodiment shown in fig. 3 has an effect of reducing the burden on the neck portion supporting the head of the wearing helmet 640, compared to the blower described in reference 3 which requires a helmet-supporting blower.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, at least one leg portion 632 is provided as a contact portion at an end portion of the inner portion 627 of the arm portion 623. The inner surface 631 of the inner portions 627 of the arm portions 623 of the mounting portion 622 of the electric fan 300 has a substantially concave or U-shaped face 639 facing the human body 609.

When the foot 632 is brought into contact with the surface of the human body 609 to hold the electric fan 300 on the rim 621 or the collar 621 of the garment 620, a cavity 633 is formed between the human body 609 and the inner surface 631. The airflow blown from the blower 301 is guided to the cavity 633 by coming into contact with the airflow direction adjustment surfaces 625 of the fins 624.

When the feet 632 are brought into contact with the surface of the underwear 655 to hold the electric fan 300 on the rim 621 or the collar 621 of the garment 620, a cavity 633 is formed between the underwear 655 and the inner surface 631. The airflow blown from the blower 301 is guided to the cavity 633 by coming into contact with the airflow direction adjustment surfaces 625 of the fins 624.

As shown in fig. 6, the air flowing into the cavity 633 flows out to the inside of the garment 620 through the hole 637 of the foot 632. The air flowing into the cavity 633 flows out to the inside of the garment 620 through the gaps 634 between the plurality of feet 632. As a result, as shown in fig. 6, the air flow passes through the hollow 633.

The fins 624 increase the amount of airflow flowing into the cavity 633. The tabs 624 are capable of directing a significant flow of air towards the inside of the garment 620.

Fig. 7 to 12 are drawings of the mounting portion 622. By further extending the length of the inner portion 627 of the arm portion 623 of the attachment portion 622 shown in fig. 7 to 12 and extending the cavity 633 through which the air flow passes further downward behind the human body 609, the air flow can be made to reach the deeper part of the garment 620.

Further, by changing the configuration in which the inside portion 627 of the arm portion 623 contains a coolant and the coolant cools the airflow passing through the cavity 633, the cooled airflow can be guided to the inside of the garment 620.

In another modification, a water-absorbent polymer member is housed in the inner portion 627 of the arm portion 623, and the air flow passing through the cavity 633 can be cooled by the heat of vaporization of water contained in the water-absorbent polymer member. This allows the cooled airflow to be guided to the inside of the garment 620. In addition, the mounting portion 622 may be changed as follows: a water supply tank is provided in the mounting portion 622, and water stored in the water supply tank is vaporized inside the cavity 633. For example, the water-absorbent polymer may be changed to supply water to the water-absorbent polymer or to spray water into the cavity 633.

Fig. 13 is an exploded view of the electric fan 300. The support portion 210 is provided on an outer surface 628 of an outer portion 626 of the arm portion 623 of the attachment portion 622. The support portion 210 includes a movable portion 215. The shaft provided in the bar holder portion 244 of the support portion 210 is fitted in the hole 233 of the movable portion 215 serving as a bearing, and the support portion 210 includes the movable portion 215 that can rotate.

The air blowing unit 301 is supported by the rod-shaped body 308 inserted into the rod surface 245 of the rod portion 244 of the support unit 210 so as to be rotatable and slidable. The air blowing unit 301 is supported by the rod-shaped body 308 via a hinge unit 307 so as to be capable of hinge operation. The air blowing unit 301 is supported to be rotatable and slidable with respect to the mounting portion 622, and is capable of performing a hinge operation and is detachable.

As shown in fig. 13, the motor 303 provided in the air blowing unit 301 is electrically connected to a chargeable lithium ion battery 304 as a power supply provided inside the rod-shaped body 308 via a conductor 312. The impeller 302 of the fan shroud 305 built in the blower 301 is driven by the electric power of the battery 304, and blows an air flow. The battery 304 is housed in the rod-shaped body 308 through a cover 310 of the battery case, and the state of current supply to the conductor 312 is controlled by a switch 309 provided in the rod-shaped body 308.

Electric fan 300 shown in fig. 14 includes four movable portions 324/325/326/327 located between air blowing portion 301 and outer portions 626 of arm portions 623. By moving the four portions, the direction of the airflow from the air blowing unit 301 can be adjusted.

By moving at least one of the four movable portions 324/325/326/327 located between the air blowing portion 301 and the outer portion 626 of the arm portion 623, the direction of the airflow blown from the air blowing portion 301 toward the fins 624 serving as the airflow direction adjustment portion is adjusted. Thereby, the amount of the airflow guided to the cavity 633 is adjusted by the airflow direction adjusting portion. This makes it easy to adjust the amount of air flow guided to the inside of the garment 620.

At the same time, by moving at least one of the four movable portions 324/325/326/327 located between the air blowing portion 301 and the outside portion 626 of the arm 623, the direction of the air flow blown from the air blowing portion 301 toward the outside surface of the garment 620 is adjusted. Thereby, the amount of air flow in contact with the outer surface of the garment 620 is easily adjusted.

A slidable portion exists between the air blowing portion 301 and the outer portion 626 of the arm portion 623 (the operation indicated by the arrow 326 in fig. 14). Thus, when the attachment portion 622 holds the collar 621 of the garment 620 as shown in fig. 1, 3, or 17, the height of the air supply unit 301 can be adjusted by sliding the slidable portion 326.

The number of movable portions between the air blowing portion 301 and the outer portion 626 of the arm portion 623 may be changed to be increased or decreased. The movable portion that may be provided between the air blowing portion 301 and the mounting portion 622 is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The movable part can be used in various ways available to those skilled in the art.

As shown in fig. 15, the arm portion 623 of the mounting portion 622 may be constituted by a member having elasticity. By applying an appropriate force 687, a space 686 between the outer portion 626 and the inner portion 627 of the arm 623 can be opened and closed.

Since the arm portions 623 are members having elasticity, the wearing article held by the clips of the arm portions 623 can be adjusted so as to be pressed with an appropriate pressure. As a material used as a member of the arm portion 623, a polymer or a metal can be used. As shown in fig. 15, the arm portion 623 can be manufactured as one polymer-made part by injection molding. Alternatively, the arm portion 623 may be manufactured by forming the outer portion 626 and the inner portion 627 as separate members and combining the members, as in the clip of fig. 15 of reference 2. Further, the pressure between the outer portion 626 and the inner portion 627 may be increased by adding a metal spring.

AS the polymer, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polymethyl methacrylate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, AS resin, ABS resin, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, acetal resin, cellulose acetate resin, polyurethane, TPU resin, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, silicone rubber, synthetic rubber, natural rubber, or the like is preferably used. More preferably, the mounting portion 622 is made of polypropylene, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, or ABS resin. Most preferably, the arm portion 623 is made of polypropylene, and the support portion 210 is made of ABS resin.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 16, electric fan 300 including air blowing unit 301 stands on tabletop 600, and air blowing unit 301 is supported by arm 623 supported by leg 632 in contact with tabletop 600. By moving the movable portion shown in fig. 14, the blowing unit 301 can be directed in any direction.

When electric fan 300 stands on table top 600 by bringing leg 632 into contact with table top 600, cavity 633 can be formed between inner surface 631 of inner portion 627 of arm 623 and table top 600. The air flow blown by the air blowing unit 301 is guided to the cavity 633 by the fins 624 serving as the wind direction adjustment unit, and the air flow is brought into contact with the tabletop 600 positioned directly below the electric fan 300. This embodiment thus has the effect of cooling or drying substantially the entire tabletop 600.

The helmet 640 shown in fig. 17 does not have an attachment portion 642 for holding the helmet 640 shown in fig. 3. In a case where the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the head of the human body 609 is sufficiently large, a part of the airflow blown from the air blowing part 301 comes into contact with the back head scoop of the human body 609 and rises, thereby flowing into the gap 635. At this time, the posterior brain scoop functions as a fin 644 as a wind direction adjustment portion.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 17, the air supply unit 301 is arranged at a position higher than the collar 621 of the garment 620 by attaching the attachment portion 622 to the collar 621.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 17, the air blowing unit 301 blows an air flow toward the edge 641 of the helmet 640 from a position close to the edge 641. Therefore, even when electric fan 300 is used without using mounting portion 642 as shown in fig. 17, the airflow can be guided to the inside of helmet 640.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 17, since the helmet 640 does not support either the mounting portion 642 or the air blowing portion 301, the helmet 640 is not heavy at all. Therefore, the embodiment shown in fig. 17 has an effect of reducing the burden on the neck portion supporting the head of the wearing helmet 640, compared to the blower described in reference 3 which requires a helmet-supporting blower.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 17, the air flow blown by the air blowing part 301 supported by the mounting part 622 flows into the gap 635 between the helmet 640 worn on the head of the human body 609 and the head, and the mounting part 622 is supported by the collar 621 of the coat 620 worn on the human body 609. Thereby directing the air flow toward the inside of the helmet 640.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 18, the electric fan 300 including the air blowing unit 301 supported by the rod-shaped body 308 is a handheld portable electric fan 616 in which the rod-shaped body 308 is held by a hand by detaching the rod-shaped body 308 from the support unit 210 in a state where the attachment unit 622 is attached to the collar 621, the rod-shaped body 308 is detachably supported by the support unit 210 of the attachment unit 622, and the attachment unit 622 holds the collar 621 of a garment 620 worn by a human body 609.

Fig. 30 to 33 show the structure of a mounting portion 642 that holds the edge portion 641 of the helmet 640 shown in fig. 1. A hollow 633 through which an air flow passes is formed between the helmet 640 and the mounting portion 642 by a substantially concave or U-shaped surface 639 extending from the wind direction adjustment surface 645 of the curved flap 644 of the mounting portion 642.

Thus, the present embodiment has an effect of stably guiding the airflow blown from the air blowing unit 301 to the inside of the helmet 640.

The method of attaching the attachment portion 642 to the helmet 640 is not limited to the method of fixing the attachment portion to the edge portion 641 as in the clip.

For example, the attachment portion 642 may be bonded to the helmet 640 via an adhesive member or a tape. Further, a method of attaching or suspending the attachment portion 642 to a member located inside the helmet 640, or a buckle for fixing the helmet 640 to the head may be employed. Further, a cloth-like or sheet-like member that is locked by a member located inside the helmet 640 may be used as the wind direction adjustment unit. Further, a cloth-like or sheet-like member suspended from a member positioned inside the helmet 640 may be used as the wind direction adjustment portion. Further, a cloth-like or sheet-like member suspended from a strap for fixing the helmet 640 to the head may be used as the wind direction adjusting member.

The shape of the edge 641 of the helmet 640 may be set to the shape of a wind direction adjustment unit for guiding the air flow blown from the air blowing unit 301 supported by the collar 621 of the coat 620 into the helmet 640.

The arm 623/643, which is supported by a garment worn by the person 609, has an inner surface 629/631/649/651 and an outer surface 628/630/648/650.

The inner surface 629/631/649/651 is a surface facing the human body 609, among the surfaces of the arm portion 623/643 supported by the clothing worn by the human body 609.

The outer surface 628/630/648/650 of the arm 623/643 supported by the clothing worn by the human body 609 has a surface facing in the opposite direction to the human body 609.

When the arm portions 623/643 are supported by the wearing article, the portions 626/646 of the arm portions 623/643 that are disposed outside the wearing article are referred to as "outside portions of the arm portions".

When the arm portions 623/643 are supported by the wearer, the portions 627/647 of the arm portions 623/643 that are disposed on the inner side of the wearer are referred to as "inner portions of the arm portions".

The portion 626/646 of the arm portion 623/643 disposed outside the wearing article is referred to as "outside portion of the arm portion" when the arm portion 623/643 holds the rim 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearing article.

When the arm portions 623/643 are held on the rim 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearing article, the portion 627/647 of the arm portions 623/643 arranged on the inner side of the wearing article is referred to as "inner portion of arm portion".

While arms 623/643 hold the dressing, the dressing is held between inner surface 629/649 of outer portion 626/646 of arm 623/643 and outer surface 630/650 of inner portion 627/647 of arm 623/643.

The arm portions 623/643 hold the rim portion 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearing article in a state where the inner surface 629/649 of the outer portion 626/646 of the arm portion 623/643 is in contact with the rim portion 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearing article.

The arm portions 623/643 hold the rim portion 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearer in a state where the outer surface 630/650 of the inner portion 627/647 of the arm portion 623/643 is brought into contact with the rim portion 621/641 or the collar 621 of the wearer.

The air blowing unit 301 is supported by the outer portion 626 of the arm 623 so that the direction of blowing air can be adjusted.

Electric fan 300 includes blades 624 as an air direction adjusting portion of a curved plate-like body. The shape of the wind direction adjusting unit is not limited to the present embodiment. As the wind direction adjusting portion, a curved plate-like body, a tubular body such as a curved pipe, a tubular body such as a flexible hose, a nozzle having a curved surface, a wall for changing the direction of the airflow, and the like can be used. Arm 623 of electric fan 300 supports wing 624.

The airflow generated by the blower 301 is guided from the outside of the garment 620 to the inside of the garment 620 by the airflow direction adjustment surface 625 of the flap 624. The fins 624/644 divide the airflow generated by the air blowing unit 301 into a main flow and a sub-flow.

The main flow is an air flow that does not contact the airflow direction adjustment surface 625/645 of the vane 624/644. The main flow contacts the outer surface of the clothing and the parts (face, neck, and head) of the human body 609 exposed outside the clothing.

The secondary flow is an air flow that comes into contact with the airflow direction adjustment surface 625/645 of the fin 624/644. The moving direction of the secondary flow changes according to the airflow direction adjustment surface 625/645 of the vane 624/644.

The airflow direction adjustment surfaces 625 of the vanes 624 change the direction of movement of the secondary flow to guide the secondary flow into the cavity 633, thereby guiding the secondary flow to the inside of the clothing.

When the human body 609 wears the outer garment 620 including the collar 621 held by the arm portion 623, the airflow generated by the air-blowing unit 301 supported by the arm portion 623 contacts the airflow direction adjustment surfaces 625 of the fins 624, and the sub-flow of the airflow is guided to the inside of the outer garment 620.

When the human body 609 wears the outer garment 620 including the collar 621 held by the arm 623, the airflow generated by the air supply unit 301 supported by the arm 623 comes into contact with the airflow direction adjustment surface 625 of the fin 624, and the sub-flow of the airflow is guided to the inside of the helmet 640.

The fins 624 have a shape for changing the orientation of the secondary flow of the airflow so as to direct the secondary flow of the airflow toward the hole 638.

The fins 624 have a shape for changing the orientation of the secondary flow of the air flow so as to guide the secondary flow of the air flow toward the inside of the cavity 633. By having the fins 624/644, the secondary flow of the air flow can be stably guided toward the inside of the outer garment 620 or the helmet 640.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the air supply unit 301 is supported by the mounting unit 622 so as not to directly contact the human body 609 or a garment 620 worn on the human body 609. Thus, the present embodiment has the following effects: even when outer garment 620 is wet by sweat permeating from human body 609 into outer garment 620, air blowing unit 301 can be prevented from coming into contact with the sweat.

Example 2

Fig. 19 is an embodiment of an apparatus including: an attaching portion 622 attachable to a cloth product (towel, scarf, headband, printed handkerchief, shawl, annular shawl, cloth product worn around the neck, cloth product worn on the shoulder, cloth product for containing vaporized water, cloth product containing water-absorbing polymer, etc.), and an air blowing portion 301 supported by the attaching portion 622, wherein the air blowing portion 301 blows air in a state where the attaching portion 622 is supported by the cloth product worn on the human body 609. The cloth product worn on the human body 609 is the cloth product worn on the human body.

In the embodiments disclosed herein, the description is made using "towels" as representative of the above-listed cloth articles. In the following description, the same effects can be obtained by replacing "towel" with any of "scarf", "headband", "handkerchief", "shawl", "annular shawl", "cloth product worn around the neck", "cloth product containing vaporized water", "cloth product containing water-absorbent polymer", and "cloth product containing water-absorbent polymer". A cloth product that can be actually used as a towel, such as "cloth towel" in japan, is a towel.

Generally, the towel and the shawl have a rectangular shape as shown in a towel 700 of fig. 20. However, the towels and shawl that can be used as the cloth product of the present embodiment are not limited to the rectangular shape. Shawl is a generic term for cloth products used to be worn around the neck or on the shoulder.

As shown in fig. 21, a square cloth product or a folded cloth product may be used as a headband or a printed handkerchief. Further, a cloth product having a shape suitable for the head shape of a human body or a cloth product processed into a shape that can be easily put on the head may be used as a headband or a printed handkerchief. The headcloth or the printed handkerchief that can be used as the cloth product of the present embodiment is not limited to the shape of fig. 21. The printed handkerchief is a general name of a cloth product used by being wound around the periphery of the head. A hood is a generic name for a cloth product used to cover the head.

As the scarf and the scarf, a cloth product having a shape that can be easily worn around the neck can be used. For example, the cloth product having the shape shown in fig. 22 can be used as a scarf or a scarf because it is easily wrapped around the neck. For example, by storing the water-absorbent polymer in the bag-like portion 760 of the cloth product shown in fig. 22, "a cloth product containing a water-absorbent polymer" or "a cloth product containing a water-absorbent polymer" can be manufactured. The scarf and scarf that can be used as the cloth product of the present embodiment are not limited to the shape of fig. 22.

As a material of the towel 700 and the outer garment 620, a textile fabric made of fibers is preferably used. As fibers that can be used for the towel 700 and the garment 620, plant fibers such as cotton and hemp; animal fibers such as silk, wool, alpaca, cashmere, etc.; regenerated fibers such as rayon and cuprammonium fibers; semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon acetate; synthetic fibers such as polyester, propylene, polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, and the like. As the plant fiber, cotton is most preferably used. As the synthetic fiber, polyester is most preferably used. The fibers that can be used as the material for the towel 700 and the garment 620 are not limited to the above. "cloth products for containing vaporized water" can be manufactured using the above-described materials. Further, a nonwoven fabric may be used for the towel 700 and the garment 620.

As the water-absorbent polymer, any polymer can be used as long as it has a high water-retaining function. For example, as the water-absorbent polymer, a sodium polyacrylate type super absorbent polymer is most preferably used. Further, a water-absorbent polymer obtained by polymerizing starch, cellulose, a water-soluble monomer containing a hydrophilic group such as a carboxyl group or a sulfonic acid group and/or a monomer which becomes water-soluble by hydrolysis, and a crosslinking agent as essential components and then hydrolyzing the resultant polymer as necessary may be used. The water-absorbent polymer is incorporated in a fabric product in the form of particles or fine powder, and the water absorption efficiency of the polymer can be improved and water can be absorbed in a short time. For example, by referring to reference 4, "a cloth product for containing vaporized water", "a cloth product containing a water-absorbent polymer", "a cloth product housing a water-absorbent polymer" can be manufactured.

The center 701 of towel 700 depicted in fig. 20 is located at the center of gravity of towel 700. Distance 704 from center 701 to end 703 of towel 700 is 15 cm.

End 703 of towel 700 shown in fig. 20 has a length 705 greater than 10 cm. If length 705 is longer than 15cm, the embodiment has an effect of easily attaching electric fan 300 to towel 700. If length 705 is longer than 20cm, the embodiment has an effect of easily sliding electric fan 300 at end 703. Therefore, the embodiment has an effect of adjusting the distance from the air blower 300 to the neck of the human body 609.

The width 711 of the towel 700 usable as a face washing towel is usually 5cm or more, and most of commercially available face washing towels are 15cm or more and 45cm or less, and about 34cm on average.

The length 710 of the towel 700 usable as a face washing towel is usually 40cm or more, and most of commercially available face washing towels are 50cm or more and 90cm or less, and about 76cm on average. As towel 700 used in the present embodiment, a commercially available face washing towel is most preferably used.

In the present embodiment, a commercially available average face washing towel is used as towel 700, so that electric fan 300 can be easily attached to towel 700, and electric fan 300 and towel 700 can be easily slid with each other. Therefore, the present embodiment has an effect of easily adjusting the distance from the air blowing unit 301 to the neck of the human body 609.

In fig. 19 to 29, both end portions 703 are colored gray. This is for easy understanding of the positional relationship of the two end portions 703 as illustrated. In actual towel 700, it is not necessary to color intermediate portion 702 and end portions 703 separately.

When middle portion 702 of towel 700 is placed on the neck of human body 609, left and right end portions 703 of towel 700 are arranged to hang down toward the chest of human body 609. Towel 700 attached to the neck is a cloth article worn on the neck. The cloth product worn on the neck is worn on the neck. The cloth product worn on the neck is worn on the human body.

As the mounting portion 622 used in the present embodiment, the mounting portion 622 described in fig. 7 to 12 is most preferably used. As electric fan 300 including mounting portion 622 and blowing portion 301, electric fan 300 described with reference to fig. 13 to 16 is most preferably used.

As shown in fig. 19 to 27, respective end portions 703 on the left and right of towel 700 are passed through respective holes 638 provided in a left-right symmetrical manner on the upper left and right of mounting portion 622. The holes 638 are provided in two in a bilaterally symmetrical manner, so that it becomes easy to pass the respective ends 703 through the respective holes 638. The end portions 703 that have passed through support the mounting portions 622 in a bilaterally symmetrical manner. Thus, both end portions 703 support electric fan 300 with good balance.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hole 638 is formed by the arm 623, foot 632, and tab 624 of the mounting portion 622, the hole 638 having a longitudinal width of about 1cm and a transverse width of about 4 cm. As another example, two holes 638 may be replaced with one hole having a longitudinal width of about 1cm and a lateral width of about 8cm by modifying the hole to remove a wall separating the two holes 638. In this case, both end portions 703 are passed through this hole, so that both end portions 703 similarly support the electric fan 300. The shape of the hole 638 is determined by a hole shape forming portion 638 formed by the arm portion 623, the foot portion 632, and the tab 624. The hole shape forming part 638 is a part that forms at least one hole shape in the electric fan 300. The hole shape forming part 638 is a part through which the towel 700 passes. The shape of the hole formed by the hole shape forming portion 638 is not limited to the shape of the hole 638 shown in fig. 2. The hole formed by the hole shape forming part 638 may be located at any position above the mounting part 622, the blowing part 301, the supporting part 210, or the electric fan 300.

Thus, as shown in fig. 29, when end 703 of towel 700, which is a commercially available face towel (about 34cm in width and about 76cm in length), is passed through hole 638, hole 638 grips end 703. By this clamping, a frictional force is generated between end 703 and hole 638, and hole shape forming portion 638 is stably supported by end 703 of towel 700.

In a case where a sufficient frictional force cannot be obtained between the end portion 703 and the hole 638, such as in a case where a thin cloth product is used as the towel 700, the two end portions 703 are held by the arm portions 623, respectively, as shown in fig. 23 to 25. Thus, the embodiment has an effect of firmly supporting mounting portion 623 by both end portions 703 of towel 700.

Thus, holes 638 of mounting portion 622 are suspended from left and right end portions 703 of towel 700, and mounting portion 622 is detachably supported by towel 700.

As shown in fig. 19, the neck of human body 609 is passed through the loop structure formed by towel 700 and mounting portion 622, and towel 700 is hung on the neck. Since the air supply unit 301 is supported by the mounting portion 622 supported by the towel 700, the present embodiment has an effect of hanging the air supply unit 301 by the towel 700 attached to the neck of the human body 609.

As shown in fig. 19, the leg portion 632 (or contact portion) of the attachment portion 622 is in contact with the surface of the garment 620 worn by the human body 609 or the surface of the end portion 703 of the towel 700, thereby stabilizing the orientation of the attachment portion 622.

By the additive effect of the above-described effects, the present embodiment has the following effects: the air flow blown from blower 301 of electric fan 300 supported by towel 700 is stably blown toward the neck of human body 609 and towel 700. As another possible embodiment, a cylindrical body described in reference 5 may be used instead of the rod-shaped body 308. The apparatuses X1 to X14 may be manufactured by providing the mounting portion 622 with the supporting portion 210 that can detachably support the cylindrical main body. In addition, the devices can also be manufactured by providing a shape having features equivalent to those of the mounting portions described in devices X1 to X14 on the cylindrical main body described in reference 5.

As shown in fig. 26 and 27, the end 703 and the mounting portion 622 are slid with respect to each other by pulling the end 703 and the mounting portion 622 in opposite directions by applying a force larger than a frictional force generated between the end 703 and the hole 638 with a hand. Thus, the present embodiment has an effect of adjusting the distance between the air blowing unit 301 and the neck of the human body 609.

The air flow blown from air blowing unit 301 contacts with towel 700 containing water, thereby promoting vaporization of the water contained in towel 700. The heat taken away from towel 700 is increased by this promotion of vaporization. Thus, cooling of towel 700 is facilitated by the air flow. This increases the effect of cooling the neck portion on which the towel 700 is placed. Also, the air flow in contact with towel 700 is cooled by the vaporization of water. Therefore, the present embodiment has an effect of cooling human body 609 by both the cooled airflow and cooled towel 700.

As shown in fig. 23 to 25, the air blowing unit 301 can be easily detached from the mounting portion 622. Therefore, when towel 700 is immersed in water in order to contain water in towel 700, air feeder 301 can be detached from towel 700. This embodiment prevents the air blowing unit 301 from being inadvertently wetted.

(to illustrate the inventive step based on comparison with reference)

The mobile tether 29 of the device described in fig. 8 of reference 6 can hold the mobile phone slidably by a suspension cord. However, when the string of the device described in fig. 8 of reference 6 is wetted with water, water dripping from the string may flow into an electronic device, i.e., a cellular phone, and the cellular phone may malfunction.

It is difficult to replace the string of the device described in fig. 8 of reference 6 with a towel. Compared to the string, the towel is more capable of containing a large amount of water. If the towel wetted with water and the movable tether are slid with each other, the movable tether grips the towel and twists the towel, so that the twisted water easily drips onto the cellular phone.

In contrast, air blowing unit 301 of the embodiment shown in fig. 19 to 29 does not contact towel 700. This prevents water contained in towel 700 from flowing into air blowing unit 301. Air blowing unit 301 of apparatuses X7 to X12, which are embodiments described below, is not wetted by water dripping from towel 700. Therefore, even when towel 700 is wetted with water, air blowing unit 301 does not malfunction with water, and air blowing unit 301 continues to blow the air flow. Hereinafter, this effect of preventing the inflow of water is referred to as "water-repellent effect".

That is, the apparatuses X7 to X12 solve a new problem of "preventing water from flowing into the electric fan from a towel for hanging the electric fan on the neck". The inventors of reference 2 and the like have failed to conceive of the necessity of preventing water from flowing into the electric fan from a wet towel. Therefore, the devices X7 to X12 are inventive as compared with the devices described in reference 2 or 6.

The apparatus X7 according to the embodiment disclosed above relates to "the apparatus according to the apparatus X1, wherein the cloth product is a cloth product selected from the group consisting of a towel 700, a shawl 700, a scarf 740, a handkerchief 720, a cloth product 700/720/740 containing water, and a cloth product 740 containing a water-absorbent polymer, the cloth product is detachable from the attachment portion 622, the air blowing unit 301 is detachable from the attachment portion 622, and the air blowing unit 301 is capable of blowing the air flow to the cloth product in a state where the attachment portion 622 is supported by the cloth product worn around the neck of the human body 609".

The apparatus X1 is described in detail in example 1.

With the waterproof effect described above, even when the cloth product is wetted with water, the air blowing unit 301 does not malfunction with water and continues to blow air in the apparatus X7. Therefore, the device X7 is inventive as compared with the device described in reference 2 or 6. Further, the device X7 has the following significant effects.

In general, it is more difficult to attach an electric fan to an end of a wet cloth product such as a towel containing water than to attach an electric fan to a dry string as shown in fig. 2 of patent document 1.

Generally, towels have a greater width and thickness than the lace. Therefore, it is much more difficult to insert the towel into the narrow hole or the narrow gap by manual work using a human hand than to insert the string. In particular, when the towel is wetted with water, there is a possibility of water flowing into the electric fan.

For example, as shown in fig. 19, when a work of inserting a towel having a width and a thickness through hole 638 of mounting portion 622 and a work of holding the towel between outer portion 626 and inner portion 627 are performed, a hand grasping the width and the thickness of the towel collides with air blowing portion 301, and therefore the work is far more difficult than the attachment of a string. In particular, when a towel is wet with water, there is a possibility that water wrung out of the towel due to manual holding of the towel flows into the electric fan.

Device X7 has a dual detaching function of "towel 700 is detachable from attachment portion 622, and air blowing portion 301 is detachable from attachment portion 622", thereby overcoming the above-described difficulty. As shown in fig. 23 to 25, the apparatus X7 can realize: in a state where air feeder 301 is detached from mounting portion 622, mounting portion 622 is supported by wet towel 700.

Thus, the present embodiment has a significant effect of facilitating and securing the mounting work. It is difficult to predict this effect from patent document 1. Thus, the device X7 is inventive.

In addition, this embodiment has an effect of eliminating the risk of inadvertently dropping the blowing section 301 during the mounting operation. The task of installing a wet towel with width and thickness is much more difficult than the task of installing a dry string. In particular, the water makes the mounting portion 622 easily slidable. Therefore, by removing the air blowing unit 301, which is likely to be an obstacle during the work, the risk of dropping the attachment portion 622 and the air blowing unit 301 during the work is significantly reduced.

In addition, the present embodiment has the following effects by the double escape function: in the operation of wetting towel 700 attached to the present embodiment with water, the occurrence of wetting of air blowing unit 301 with water is prevented.

As shown in fig. 23 to 25, towel 700 is firmly fixed by mounting portion 622. In general, there is a drawback that the attachment and removal work between the towel and the attachment portion takes time. This drawback is overcome by the double disengaging function of the device X7.

That is, air-blowing section 301 can be easily removed from mounting section 622 without removing towel 700 from mounting section 622. Thus, the present embodiment has the following effects: air blowing unit 301 is not wetted with water, and thus the operation of wetting towel 700 with water can be easily performed.

Further, even if the operation of wetting towel 700 with water is repeated a plurality of times, the state in which attachment portion 622 is firmly attached to towel 70 can be maintained. Therefore, the present embodiment has an effect of greatly improving safety of drop prevention.

The apparatus X8 according to the embodiment disclosed above relates to "the apparatus according to the apparatus X1, wherein the cloth product is a cloth product selected from the group consisting of a towel 700, a shawl 700, a scarf 740, a handkerchief 720, a cloth product 700/720/740 containing water, and a cloth product 740 containing a water-absorbent polymer, the air blowing unit 301 supported by the mounting unit 622 can blow the air flow to the cloth product without contacting the cloth product, and the mounting unit 622 is supported by the cloth product worn around the neck of the human body 609".

The effect of the device X8 is as follows.

Fan 301 of electric fan 300 includes "electronic parts that cannot be wetted" such as motor 303. Therefore, when towel 700 is wetted with water, it is necessary to maintain a sufficient distance between air blowing unit 301 and towel 700 so that the water contained in towel 700 does not contact air blowing unit 301.

As shown in fig. 19, device X8 includes mounting portion 622 between towel 700 and air blowing portion 301. Thus, air blowing unit 301 is indirectly supported by towel 700 via mounting unit 622 without directly contacting towel 700. That is, air blowing unit 301 is supported by mounting portion 622 so as to maintain air blowing unit 301 separated from towel 700. Therefore, the present embodiment has an effect of preventing water contained in towel 700 from flowing into air blowing unit 301.

In contrast, in the electric fan described in fig. 21 of reference 2, the main body of the blower is in direct contact with the towel. Therefore, the electric fan described in reference 2 may be broken down by water flowing from the towel to the air blowing unit. The inventors of reference 2 and the like have failed to conceive of the necessity of preventing water from flowing into the electric fan from a wet towel.

Therefore, the device X8 having the feature that "the air blowing part does not contact the fabric article" is inventive as compared with the electric fan described in reference 2.

The apparatus X9 according to the embodiment disclosed above relates to "the apparatus according to the apparatus X1, further comprising a movable section 215/307/324/325/326/327 provided between the mounting section 622 and the air blowing section 301, wherein the cloth is a cloth selected from the group consisting of a towel 700, a shawl 700, a scarf 740, a decal 720, a cloth 700/720/740 containing water, and a cloth 740 containing a water-absorbent polymer, wherein the cloth is attachable to and detachable from the mounting section 622, wherein the direction of the air flow can be adjusted by moving the movable section 215/307/324/325/326/327, and wherein the air blowing section 301 supported by the mounting section 622 can blow the air flow to the cloth without contacting with the clothes 620 worn on the human body 609, wherein the mounting portion 622 supports the cloth article support worn on the neck of the human body 609 ".

The effect of the device X9 is as follows.

As shown in fig. 19, electric fan 300 of device X9 is mounted on towel 700 worn around the neck of the user, so that water contained in towel 700 is vaporized. In addition, when the user sits in front of the table 600, the electric fan 300 is detached from the towel 700, as shown in fig. 16, and the electric fan 300 can be placed on the table 600. At this time, since the movable portion of device X9 is provided, air-feeding portion 301 can be directed toward towel 700 fitted around the neck of the user. Thus, the water contained in towel 700 is continuously vaporized.

Thus, device X9 is able to blow an air stream against towel 700 worn around the neck of the user in both of the above-described ways. This embodiment has an effect of greatly reducing the burden on the neck of the user.

That is, the present embodiment has an effect of "continuously promoting the evaporation of water contained in towel 700 without applying a load due to the weight of electric fan 300 to the neck of the user sitting in front of table 600".

As shown in fig. 19, the air feeder 301 is supported so as not to contact a garment 620 (this garment 620) worn on the human body 609. Thus, the present embodiment has the following effects: even if water contained in towel 700 permeates garment 620 and causes garment 620 to be wetted with water, air supply unit 301 is prevented from contacting water contained in garment 620.

In contrast, the electric fan described in reference 2 is in direct contact with a garment worn by a user. Therefore, the electric fan described in reference 2 has a disadvantage that water contained in a coat easily flows into the electric fan. In addition, with the electric fan described in reference 2 placed on a table top, it is difficult to adjust the direction of the air flow so as to face the towel that is worn around the neck of the user sitting in front of the table. Therefore, even when the user sits on the desk, the electric fan described in reference 2 needs to be continuously attached to the towel that is worn around the neck of the user. Therefore, the electric fan described in reference 2 has a disadvantage that the weight of the electric fan is continuously applied to the neck of the user.

The electric fan described in reference 2 is difficult to realize the above-described effects. Thus, the device X9 is inventive.

The apparatus X10 according to the embodiment disclosed above relates to "the apparatus according to the apparatus X1, wherein the cloth product is a cloth product selected from the group consisting of a towel 700, a shawl 700, a scarf 740, a headband 720, a printed handkerchief 720, a cloth product 700/720/740 for containing water, and a cloth product 740 containing a water-absorbing polymer, the cloth product is detachable from the attachment portion 622, and the distance between the air-blowing portion 301 and the head of the human body 609 can be adjusted by pulling the cloth product and the attachment portion 622 in directions opposite to each other to slide the cloth product and the attachment portion 622 with the attachment portion 622 supported by the cloth product worn on the head of the human body 609 in a state where the attachment portion 622 is supported by the cloth product. Wherein the head is a portion from the neck of the human body up, including the neck.

The above-described waterproof effect makes it possible to create an apparatus X10 in which the air blowing section 301 is slidable without being wetted with water even when the cloth product is wetted with water, as compared with the apparatuses described in references 2 and 6. Further, the device X10 has the following significant effects.

Fig. 26 shows one of the mounting modes of the mounting portion 622 of the device X10 shown in fig. 19. Both ends 700 of towel 700 pass through holes 638 of mounting portion 622. Further, both end portions 703 of towel 700 are held by arm portions 623 of attachment portion 622. Therefore, even when towel 700 and mounting portion 622 are pulled strongly in opposite directions by the hand of human body 609, mounting portion 622 does not come off from towel 700, and towel 700 and mounting portion 622 slide with each other.

In another installation mode shown in fig. 28, both ends 703 of towel 700 are not passed through holes 638 and are clasped by arm 623. In this mode, even when towel 700 and mounting portion 622 are pulled strongly in opposite directions, mounting portion 622 does not come off from towel 700 and mounting portion 622 slide with each other.

In another installation mode shown in fig. 29, ends 703 of towel 700 are not held by arms 623 and pass through holes 638. In this mode, even when towel 700 and mounting portion 622 are pulled strongly in opposite directions, mounting portion 622 does not come off from towel 700 and mounting portion 622 slide with each other. In this mode, hole shape forming portion 632 forming hole 632 is holding portion 632 holding towel 700.

In any of the above mounting modes, "in a state where mounting portion 622 is supported by towel 700 worn on the head, towel 700 and mounting portion 622 are pulled in opposite directions by the hand of human body 609 so that towel 700 and mounting portion 622 slide with each other, and the distance between air-blowing portion 301 and the head can be adjusted" (hereinafter, referred to as "slide adjustment effect") as shown in fig. 27.

When towel 700 is thick, mounting portions 622 of devices X10 and X11 hold towel 700 in the mounting mode shown in fig. 29. When towel 700 is thin, mounting portion 622 holds towel 700 in the mounting mode shown in fig. 26. By providing these two holding methods, the apparatuses X10 and X11 hold towels having different thicknesses (hereinafter referred to as "thickness adjustment effect").

Mounting portions 622 of devices X10 and X11 hold towel 700 in a detachable manner (hereinafter referred to as a "detachable effect").

On the other hand, the clamp type electric fan described in fig. 21 of reference 2 can be attached to a towel attached to the neck. The two ends of the towel attached to the neck are overlapped in front of the chest, so that the towel forms a loop structure. The ring structure is fixed by fixing the overlapping portion using a clamping member of the electric fan. Thereby, the electric fan is hung on the neck.

In fig. 21 of reference 2, the overlapped both ends of the towel are fixed using a clamping member, thereby generating a frictional force between the overlapped both ends. The loop structure of the towel is maintained by this friction. If the overlapping position is slightly shifted from the position fixed by the clamping member, the frictional force does not work and the loop structure of the towel is broken.

Therefore, the clamp-type electric fan described in fig. 21 of reference 2 has the following disadvantages: if the position where the two ends of the towel overlap and the position of the clamp that fixes them are slightly displaced, the towel and the electric fan fall from the neck. Further, the electric fan described in reference 2 has the following disadvantages: if the fan and the towel are pulled strongly in opposite directions, the ring structure is immediately broken.

Therefore, the electric fan described in reference 2 has the following disadvantages: it is very difficult to adjust the distance between the electric fan and the neck by pulling the towel and the electric fan in opposite directions while maintaining the state where the electric fan is supported by the towel held on the neck.

The device X10 overcomes the above disadvantages. It is difficult to think of a device having the four effects (water-proof effect, sliding adjustment effect, thickness adjustment effect, attachment/detachment effect) of the device X10 at the same time according to references 2 and 6. Thus, the device X10 is inventive.

The apparatus X11 according to the embodiment disclosed above relates to "the apparatus according to the apparatus X1, wherein the cloth product is a cloth product selected from the group consisting of a towel 700, a shawl 700, a scarf 740, a headband 720, a printed handkerchief 720, a cloth product 700/720/740 for containing water, and a cloth product 740 containing a water-absorbent polymer, the cloth product is detachable from the attachment portion 622, and the left portion 622L and the right portion 622R of the attachment portion 622 hold the left end 703L and the right end 703R of the cloth product, respectively".

The device X11 in which the air blowing unit 301 is not wetted with water even when the cloth product is wetted with water and the distance between the air blowing unit 301 and the head can be adjusted is inventive as compared with the device described in reference 2 or 6 due to the above-described waterproof effect. Further, the device X11 has the following significant effects.

As shown in fig. 26 to 29, left portion 622L and right portion 622R of mounting portion 622 included in device X11 hold left end 703L and right end 703R of towel 700, respectively.

Therefore, the embodiment shown in fig. 26 to 27 has an effect of "adjusting the distance between air blowing section 301 and the head section by moving mounting section 622 upward or downward along end section 703 of towel 700" (hereinafter referred to as "distance adjustment effect").

As shown in fig. 26, in apparatus X11, left and right end portions 703 of towel 700 do not intersect with each other, and mounting portions 622 support left and right end portions 703 in bilateral symmetry. Therefore, the present embodiment has the following effects: even if mounting portion 622 is moved upward or downward along end 703 of towel 700, the mechanical stability does not change, so that mounting portion 622 is stably and continuously supported.

On the other hand, in fig. 21 of reference 2, the left and right end portions of the towel cross each other. Therefore, the clamp of the electric fan does not keep the left and right ends of the towel in bilateral symmetry (in fig. 21 of reference 2, the left end overlaps the right end at the intersection, and the intersection is not in bilateral symmetry). Therefore, in fig. 21 of reference 2, it is difficult to slide the electric fan up and down over the crossing and asymmetrical portion of the towel.

The device X11 overcomes the above disadvantages. It is difficult to think of a device having the four effects (water-repellent effect, distance adjustment effect, thickness adjustment effect, attachment/detachment effect) of the device X11 at the same time according to references 2 and 6. Thus, the device X11 is inventive.

The apparatus X12 according to the embodiment disclosed above relates to the "apparatus based on the apparatus X1, further comprising a hole-shaped forming unit for forming at least one hole, wherein the cloth is a cloth selected from the group consisting of a towel 700, a shawl 700, a scarf 740, a printed handkerchief 720, a cloth 700/720/740 for containing water, and a cloth 740 containing a water-absorbent polymer, and wherein the air blowing unit 301 is capable of blowing the air flow to the cloth in a state where the cloth worn around the neck of the human body 609 passes through the hole-shaped forming unit".

The above-described waterproof effect makes it possible to create an inventive device X12 in which the air blowing unit 301 continues to blow air without causing a failure due to water even when the fabric product is wetted with water, as compared with the device described in reference 6. Further, the device X12 has the following significant effects.

As shown in fig. 23-27 and 29, mounting portion 622 of device X12 has a hole 638, allowing towel 700 to pass through hole 638. Thus, the present embodiment has the following effects: even when the mounting portion 622 and the end portion 703 are pulled in opposite directions, the mounting portion 622 is not detached from the end portion 70 through the hole 638 (hereinafter, referred to as a "detachment prevention effect").

As shown in fig. 29, through hole 638, attachment tool 622 is supported by towel 700 (hereinafter referred to as "supporting effect").

As shown in fig. 19 and 27, the hole 638 is located on the front surface of the air blowing unit 301. The position of each end 703 is fixed in place by each hole 638. Thus, the air flow blown from the air blowing unit 301 stably contacts the end portion 703 exposed from the hole 638. As a result, water contained in towel 700 is constantly vaporized (hereinafter referred to as "water-vaporization stabilizing effect").

In contrast, in the electric fan described in fig. 21 of reference 2, the air outlet is located above the electric fan, the clamp is located below the electric fan, and the towel is clamped by the clamp on the lower side. Therefore, with the electric fan of reference 2, it is difficult to keep the towel in the vicinity of the air blowing opening. Therefore, the electric fan of reference 2 cannot stably blow air toward the towel. Therefore, the electric fan of reference 2 cannot obtain an effect of stably promoting the vaporization of water.

As shown in fig. 29, by appropriately determining the "size of the hole 638, the shape of the hole 638, and the position of the hole 638" of the apparatus X12, the present embodiment can obtain the "waterproof effect", the "separation prevention effect", the "support effect", and the "water stabilization effect". The electric fan described in reference 2 cannot easily recognize the above-described superimposed effect. Thus, the device X12 is inventive.

Example 3

The apparatus X13 according to the embodiment shown in fig. 1, 3, 17, and 19 relates to "the apparatus according to the apparatus X1, in which after the cloth product is made to contain water, the water is prevented from flowing from the cloth product to the air blowing unit 301 in a state where the attachment portion 622 is supported by the cloth product worn on the human body 609".

The air blowing unit 301 of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, 3, 17, and 19 does not contact a cloth product worn on the human body 609. A movable portion 215/307/324/325/326/327 is provided between the mounting portion 622 and the air blowing portion 301, and the air blowing portion 301 is separated from the fabric product. This prevents water contained in the fabric from flowing into the air blowing unit 301. Even when the cloth product is wetted with water, the air blowing unit 301 of the device X13 is not wetted with water dripping from the cloth product. Therefore, even when the cloth product is wetted with water, the air blowing unit 301 does not malfunction due to the water, and the air blowing unit 301 continues to blow the air flow.

That is, the device X13 solves a new problem of "preventing water from flowing into an electric fan attached to a wet cloth product". The inventors of reference 1 or 2 have failed to conceive of the necessity of preventing water from flowing into the electric fan from a wet towel or clothes. Therefore, the device X13 is inventive as compared with the device described in reference 1 or 2.

Example 4

The apparatus X14 according to the embodiment shown in fig. 17 relates to an apparatus based on the apparatus X1, and further includes: a holding portion 623 provided in the attachment portion 622, and a slidable movable portion 326 provided between the holding portion 623 and the air blowing portion 301, the cloth product being a cloth product selected from the group consisting of a garment 620 and a shirt 620, the holding portion 623 being capable of holding the cloth product, and the height of the air blowing portion 301 being adjustable by sliding the movable portion 326 in a state where the attachment portion 622 is supported by an edge portion 621 of the cloth product worn on the human body 609.

A movable portion 326 is slidably provided between the air blowing portion 301 and an outer portion 626 of the arm portion 623 (the operation indicated by an arrow 326 in fig. 14). Thus, when the attachment portion 622 holds the collar 621 or the rim 621 of the garment 620 as shown in fig. 17, the height of the air supply unit 301 can be adjusted by sliding the movable portion 326 which is slidable.

Thus, the present embodiment has the following effects: even when the attachment portion 622 is attached to the garment 620 having different heights of the collar 621, the height of the air supply unit 301 can be adjusted to an appropriate position.

Further, even when the attachment portion 622 of the present embodiment is attached to the garments 620 having different heights of the collar 621, the distance between the air blowing unit 301 and the edge 641 of the helmet 640 can be adjusted. Therefore, the present embodiment has an effect of adjusting the amount of airflow flowing into the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the head. This effect can be obtained even when the attachment portion 642 is not attached to the helmet 640 as shown in fig. 17.

In the present embodiment, the air supply unit 301 can be supported at a position higher than the collar 621 of the garment 620 by sliding the movable unit 326.

As shown in fig. 17, the attachment portion 622 supports the air supply unit 301 such that the impeller 302 of the air supply unit 301 is positioned higher than the collar 621. That is, the attachment portion 622 supports the air supply unit 301 such that the highest portion of the impeller 302 is located higher than the highest portion of the collar 621.

By positioning the impeller 302 at a position higher than the collar 621, the impeller 302 of the air blowing unit 301 can blow the airflow from the rear of the neck toward the front of the neck. Thus, the airflow is blown so as to pass through the face side from the back of the neck and move far forward of the face. Therefore, the present embodiment has the following effects: when smoke is present in front of the face, the smoke is separated from the face, and the smoke is prevented from being inhaled through the nose. Even when the collar 621 of the garment 620 is low in height, this effect can be obtained by sliding the movable portion 326 to adjust the air supply unit 301 to an appropriate height. This effect can be obtained even when the human body 609 is not wearing the helmet 640.

Further, by positioning the impeller 302 higher than the collar 621, the blower 301 can blow an air flow toward the rim 641 of the helmet 640 from a position close to the rim 641. This embodiment has an effect of increasing the amount of airflow flowing into the gap 635 between the helmet 640 and the head of the human body 609.

As the movable portion 327 is slid and the air blowing portion 301 is brought closer to the helmet 640, the amount of the airflow flowing into the gap 635 increases, and thus the degree of comfort felt by the human body 609 increases. However, if air supply unit 301 comes too close to helmet 640, helmet 640 frequently collides with air supply unit 301, and the degree of comfort felt by human body 609 is reduced. By appropriately sliding the movable part 326, the height of the air blowing part 301 can be adjusted to an appropriate position (a position as close as possible to the helmet 640 without colliding with the helmet 640). Thus, the present embodiment has a significant effect of maximizing the degree of comfort felt by the human body 609 by sliding the movable portion 326. This remarkable effect is difficult to predict with the device described in reference 1 or 2. Thus, the device X14 is inventive.

On the other hand, the device described in reference 1 or 2 cannot adjust the height of the air blowing device with respect to the height of the collar. Therefore, the device described in reference 1 or 2 has a drawback that a shirt to which the device can be attached is limited.

The device X14 overcomes the disadvantages of the devices described in documents 1 and 2, and the device X14 has a significant effect that is difficult to predict, so the device X14 is inventive.

Further, as shown in fig. 17, since the movable portion 326 is provided between the air supply portion 301 and the garment 620, the air supply portion 301 does not contact the garment 620. Therefore, even when the garment 620 is wetted with water, the air blowing unit 301 does not malfunction with water, and the air blowing unit 301 continues to blow the air flow. Therefore, the device X14 in which the blowing section continues to blow the airflow even when the fabric product contains water is inventive.

Example 5

By the mounting device 666 constituted by the mounting portion 622 shown in fig. 7, the portable electric fan 616 of a hand-held type can be used as the devices X1 to X14.
