  This invention blows air from above to workers who work on a workbench or those around the table such as a table for eating and drinking so that users such as these workbench and table can be blown The present invention relates to a blower.

  There is a place where a table is installed so as to be able to eat and drink and have a conversation. For example, at a rest area in a theme park, in front of a convenience store entrance, in an open space in a fast food shop, on a terrace in a coffee shop, or in the vicinity of a vending machine for food and drink, you can enjoy a conversation while eating and drinking. May be installed. Some of such resting places and the like installed outdoors have large umbrellas such as beach umbrellas arranged on the table so as to block the summer sun. Alternatively, a plurality of tables are covered with a large tent.

  However, when the reflection from the ground is strong or the outside air temperature is high, users such as resting tables are exposed to high temperatures, and the heat cannot be sufficiently avoided even if the sun is blocked. For this reason, it is conceivable to install an outdoor fan at a resting place and to blow air. Alternatively, it is conceivable to arrange a fan for each table. For example, there is a fan that can be supported by a clip at the end of the table (see Patent Document 1).

  As an outdoor fan, a support rod is provided on a stand such as a tripod so that it can be moved up and down, and a blower is provided on the inside of a stand-type fan in which a blower is attached to the upper part of the support rod or a rectangular inclined frame. There are fans that are mainly used in factories, such as large fans, but these are too windy for users to use when they are installed in rest areas, and are not suitable for relaxing appropriately. is there. In addition, the method of supporting the table with a clip is small, and it is difficult to provide a swing mechanism, and it is difficult to blow air to all persons surrounding the table. Moreover, although there exists a portable electric fan (refer patent document 2), it is mainly ventilating to the person who carries, and it does not ventilate all the persons who enclosed the table.

  On the other hand, as an electric fan that can blow air over a wide range, Patent Document 3 includes a stand, an impeller provided on an upper portion of the stand, and a wind direction changing unit provided on an outer periphery of the impeller. Is capable of blowing 360 degrees in the horizontal direction, and the wind direction changing means discloses a fan that divides the wind into a horizontal direction and a downwind. Further, Patent Document 4 discloses a fan in which a pair of impeller devices with the other one on the back are installed on a pedestal that can be rotated to the left and right. Patent Document 5 discloses a guide, a movable body provided movably on the guide, a blower attached to the movable body and movable along the guide along with the movement of the movable body, and a movable body. A moving blower including a drive mechanism that moves along a guide and a drive source that drives the drive mechanism is disclosed.
