BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fan, and more particularly to a fan having a light source.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to improve a hobby feeling of a fan user, a fan with a decorative design, an eye portion of a character design, etc. are covered with a transparent transparent resin,
It is known that a small piece in the shape of a black eyeball is inserted into it to make it move every time the fan is fanned.

[0003]

In the conventional fan as described above, the user cannot recognize the decorative pattern or the like at night or in a dark place, and thus the hobby of the fan is stimulated. As a result, it could only function as a fan in a dark place.

[0004] Therefore, conventionally, in order to improve the hobby when using a fan at night or in a dark place, a luminous paint is applied to an appropriate place of the design to make it entertaining by causing it to fluoresce from the outside. Some of the above are also proposed. However, such a fan coated with the luminous paint shines only when light comes in from the outside, and thus there is a problem that it does not fluoresce in a completely dark place and as a result the pattern cannot be recognized. There has also been a demand for a fan that serves as a safety sign indicating the location of the person who owns the fan in a dark place or at night.

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems and needs, and can improve the user's hobbies and emotions even at night or in a dark place, and a safety sign indicating the whereabouts of the person who possesses it. The purpose is to provide a fan that can also become a fan.

[0006]

The fan according to claim 1 comprises a light emitting source and a power source for turning on the light emitting source. As a result, it can be turned on by its own power even when it is used at night or in a dark place, so it becomes a safety sign at night, and if you turn on decorative designs and character designs, it will be a hobby even in dark places. You can use a fan while improving your emotions.

A fan according to a second aspect includes a light emitting source, a power source section, a switch section, and a lighting control circuit. The light emitting source is composed of an electroluminescence light, and the power source section supplies electric power to the light emitting source. The switch unit controls ON / OFF of power supply from the power source unit to the light emitting source, and the lighting control circuit controls lighting of the light emitting source. In this fan, a decorative pattern or the like can be easily turned on by using an electroluminescent light as a light emitting source and supplying power from the power source to the light emitting source, which can further stimulate the user's hobby. It can also be used as a safety sign indicating the whereabouts of the user at night. The above claim 2
In the above configuration, as described in claim 3, the light source is provided in the fan main body portion, the power supply unit, the switch portion and the lighting control circuit are provided in the fan fan handle portion, and the fan fan handle portion is provided with respect to the fan fan main body portion.

There is an effect that can be. In addition, in the configuration of claim 2 described above, as described in claim 4, the fan-shaped handle portion may be configured to include a battery holding portion for holding a battery that constitutes the power supply portion. With this configuration, when using a dry battery as a power source, for example, the dry battery can be stored more easily than when a battery holding unit is provided in the fan body, and the original shape of the fan handle can be significantly changed. It is possible to easily form the battery holding portion.

The fan according to claim 5 comprises a fan main body, a light emitting source, a design, a power supply / oscillation circuit / power switch, a holding case main body, and a lid of the holding case main body.
The light emitting source is formed on the surface of the fan body and is composed of an electroluminescent light. The pattern has a transparent portion that transmits the light from the light emitting source, and is formed so as to cover the light emitting source. The power supply, the oscillation circuit, and the power switch are provided to turn on the light emitting source. The holding case body holds the power supply, the oscillation circuit, and the power switch. Further, the fan body is sandwiched between the holding case body and its lid. According to the invention as set forth in claim 5, with such a configuration, the light emitting source composed of the electroluminescence light illuminates the transparent portion of the pattern, and the user can have a hobby emotion that has not existed before. In a dark place, it can be used as a flashlight, for example, and can also be a safety sign. In the structure of the fifth aspect, as described in the sixth aspect, the terminal of the electroluminescent light may be pressed against the output terminal of the oscillation circuit when the holding case body and the lid are fitted together. According to this structure, the terminal of the electroluminescent light and the output terminal of the oscillation circuit are automatically connected by mounting the holding case body and the lid, and the power supply, the oscillation circuit and the power switch are easily connected, It is possible to achieve electrical connection with the electroluminescent light provided on the fan body.
