In addition, it becomes easy to create a downward airflow.

  In the second invention, in particular, by arranging the up-and-down wind direction changing wings of the first invention so as to be substantially in the same plane of the rear guider, the shape of the entire blowout port is extended, and not only the stabilizer but also the rear guider can move. Since the pressure recovery is possible, the air blowing performance can be further improved.

  In the third invention, in particular, by arranging the vertical wind direction changing blade at the tip of the middle blade of the first or second invention, the same function as the middle blade becomes longer, the above-described dynamic pressure recovery and The effect of creating downward airflow is further improved.

  In the fourth aspect of the invention, in particular, the air blown out by operating the middle blades and the upper and lower wind direction changing blades of any one of the first to third embodiments so that the strings are reduced in parallel or downstream. Since the air is narrowed down and blown out as a united air current, the effect as a spot air current targeting a specific portion can be obtained. Moreover, since the blowing is narrowed, the wind speed that blows out increases, and the reachability is improved.
