By using a blower nozzle 9 which is provided in the plate body 8 and has a plurality of small holes 12 each having a diameter of about 2 mm formed in the vertical and horizontal directions, the cleaned air released from the communication hole 10 toward the front side is removed. The flow velocity is rapidly reduced in the box body 6, and the air is shunted from the small hole 12 of the plate body 8 provided at the front side and the low speed and purified air is discharged to the front side.

Next, 13 in the drawing is a polyvinyl chloride sheet,
A film material made of a material that does not allow at least mites, dust, etc. to pass through, such as polyethylene sheet and polypropylene sheet,
The film material 13 is formed into a housing whose lower part is opened.
If a transparent sheet, a semitransparent cloth or the like is used as the film material 13, it is preferred because it does not give the user a feeling of anxiety.
By attaching or impregnating the antistatic agent to the inner surface of the film material 13, mites, dust, etc. do not adhere to the film material 13 and are hygienic.
In the illustrated example, a strip frame 14 made of metal or synthetic resin is formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape in plan view, and the frame material is formed on the frame 14.
13 The upper end is formed into a bag and is externally inserted, and both ends are superposed on the front surface, and the upper surface is covered or fixed with a shape that suits the frame 14 so that the lower side is formed into a housing shape. It is also possible to form a common edge with the surface into a case shape by heat welding, and the invention is not particularly limited to this example.
Further, the housing shape mentioned here is not limited to the oblong rectangular shape shown in the plan view, and for example, a cylindrical shape with an open bottom, a rectangular shape, a pyramid or a cone shape is also referred to in the present invention. It is included in the case shape. A notch hole having substantially the same shape as the opening 7 of the nozzle 9 is formed in the central upper part on the back side of the main body portion 15 thus formed in a housing shape, and the edge of the notch hole is sandwiched between the box body 6 and the box body 6. The nozzle 9 is integrated with the main body 15 by fitting or fixing the plate body 8.

The body portion 15 formed in this manner is shown in FIG.
It is fixed by the support member shown as. The support member 16 can adopt various support methods depending on the shape of the main body portion 15 and the like, but in the present embodiment, an example of the support member 16 capable of displaceably supporting the main body portion 15 is shown in FIG. Is shown in. That is, a pillar 18 made of metal or synthetic resin is fixed to one side of the center of a plate-shaped base 17 having a rectangular shape in plan view, or the pillar 18 is supported via a tubular pillar receiver 19 that can receive and support the pillar 18. However, in the proper place of this pillar 18, the pillar 18
A holder 20 that is displaceable in the length direction is provided, and a receiving member 21 having a U-shaped cross section that is connected to the holder 20 is integrally formed. Further, on the back side of the center of the frame 14, one pair is fixed to the frame 14 and the other is provided with a pair of rods 22 (not shown) capable of pivotally pivoting on the receiving member 21. The rod 22 and the receiving member 21 are rotatably attached by a pin 23 or the like so that the rod 22 can be placed at a horizontal position. In order to set the rod 22 at a horizontal position, the lower end of the rod 22 is placed at a horizontal position. The supporting piece (24) is provided so as to project outward from the side surface of the receiving member (21).

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the feeding means 5, which is made of metal.
A tubular body 25 made of a synthetic resin or the like is used, and the tubular body 25 is bent in an inverted L shape in a side view as shown in the drawing to provide an internal communication state. 26. A plurality of small holes 12 'are formed in appropriate places on the inner surface of the pipe 26, and the communication hole 10 is formed in the center of the horizontal pipe 26' below the pipe body 25, and the ventilation pipe 4 is formed in the communication hole 10.
The other end is connected. In this case, the support member 16 can be formed, for example, by welding the base plate 17 to the lower end of the lower horizontal pipe 26 'so that the pipe member 25 is covered with the casing-shaped film material 13. Thus, the main body portion 15 is formed, and naturally, the frame 14, the blower nozzle 9, the support column 18, etc. are not necessary.

In the air purifying apparatus of the present invention constructed as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user sleeps, the base 17 is laid under the bed 27 such as a bed or a bed. The column 18 upright on the user's head side, and the holder 20 is adjusted in position in the height direction of the column 18 so that the lower edge of the film material 13 of the main body 15 comes into contact with the mattress 27. The film material 13 of the main body portion 15 is fixed to and fixed to the outside and is placed on the upper body of a sleeping person (asthma observer, etc.) in a recumbent state. When the filter 1 is operated, the outside air is sucked from the air suction hole 2 of the filter 1 and the cleaned air is exhausted from the exhaust port 3 through the internal filter and further sent through the ventilation pipe 4. It is sent to the feeding means 5. When passing through the ventilation pipe 4, the flow velocity is drastically reduced due to the ventilation resistance in the pipe, and then is passed through the plurality of small holes 12 formed in the front to be divided into the main body portion 15 for cleaning. The air is sent. As a result, the internal pressure in the film material 13 becomes slightly higher than the outside, and this air is discharged outward from the lower end of the film material 13. Therefore, when an asthma viewer is sleeping in the film material 13, asthma-inducing substances such as dust, pollen, mites, and dust floating in the room do not let the viewer inhale even if they fall down at night. In addition, even if these asthma-inducing substances are released from the pillow or the futon in the film material 13 by rolling over or other vibrations, the asthma-inducing substances do not enter the main body portion 15 from below the main body portion 15 against the air flow. Furthermore, by locating the feed port 7 above the main body portion 15, the air flow can easily flow from the upper side to the lower side, and the feed port 7 can be directed from the upper back side of the main body portion 15 to the front side as shown in the drawing. If it is installed, the user's face will not be directly exposed to the clean air from the air supply port 7, and the user will not directly feel the wind speed on the face portion. After that, by continuing to feed the purified air into the main body 15, the interior of the main body 15 eventually becomes a space of purified air above a certain value,
When the user breathes in the main body 15 in this state, asthma, bronchitis such as hay fever, allergic symptoms, etc. are alleviated, and if the patient continues to use them, the symptoms will gradually disappear. It will be restored.

[0016]

According to the above-described air cleaning apparatus of the present invention, it is a miniaturized device that can be used only by an individual, and since there is no part that directly contacts the user's face, a feeling of oppression or discomfort can be felt even for a long time. Can be used without. or,
In addition to the fact that the user inside the main body hardly feels the wind force because the air purified by the filter is blown out at a low speed from the plurality of small holes opened in the blower nozzle or the pipe, there is no discomfort. Since it can be used in a recumbent state, it can be used in a normal sleeping state and can be used for a long period of time without any special movement by the user during use. Furthermore, if the film material is made transparent, the user can see the external state, so that there is no anxiety during use. On the other hand, the state of the user can be seen from the outside, which is safe. Furthermore, since the purified air from the filter is constantly supplied to the inside of the main body, the inside of the main body becomes a clean space of a certain value or more, so that it is a symptom in patients with asthma, hay fever, etc. Are alleviated, and by continuing this, those symptoms are recovered, so that it can be used as a medical device.
