Description

A Portable cooling And Heating Musical Umbrella

The present invention relates to a personal umbrella for shading sun and rain, in particular, to a portable umbrella which is applicable to lawn, region around swimming pool, beach ,farms, park, tea garden, fieldwork, booth setting, tourism, etc., as a portable outdoor rest tool for shading sun and rain.

The present invention pertains to the field of umbrella, and more specifically to the field of cooling and heating umbrellas , this invention pertains generally to a  portable sun screen and cooling apparatus, and more particularly to an umbrella that circulates cooled air around a user's head while providing a partial screen from the sun.

Warm spring and hot summer seasons make these seasons a perfect time of year to indulge in all manners of outdoor activities. From playing spirited sports games on city streets or splashing gleefully in a backyard pool to embarking on a camping adventure or languidly swaying in a porch swing, adults and children seek a myriad of ways to bask in these seasons' pleasantly balmy days and evenings. One of the most revered warm weather pastimes is visiting the closest beach. Whether people are seeking to master the rough tides on surfboards, swim in the warm salty waters or lie supine under the blazing summer sun, these tropical paradises attract millions of surf and sand aficionados every year. Another favored activity that brings people out of their homes in the spring and summer is attending sporting events. Afternoons spent at youth soccer matches, weekend forays to show support for a community baseball league, and entire Saturdays devoted to college football games and the requisite tailgate parties beforehand are all common, and extremely enjoyable, occurrences during this time of year. When heading to the beach for the day or planning to spend an extended amount of time at a sporting event, consumers prepare for these jaunts by bringing along items that provide comfort while they are there. Lounge chairs and seat cushions are must have items for these types of outdoor activities as are coolers bursting with food and drink to provide refreshment. Many people take an umbrella to keep cool and protect themselves from the harmful rays of the sun or have an instant shield should rain suddenly appear. However, as practical and necessary as umbrellas are when spending time outdoors, their use does present a drawback. Particularly for sun and heat protection, most umbrellas are ineffective. Typically produced in darker colors, the canopies of these units tend to absorb heat more than deflect it. As such, many users may find themselves sweltering underneath an umbrella as if completely exposed to the sun. The intense heat of the day is still acutely felt around the face and neck. It is common to notice many hat wearing folks waving makeshift fans in front of their faces to cool themselves off while spending extended periods of time outside on hot days. The prior arts have put forth several designs for cooling and heating umbrellas. Among these are:

U.S .pat.No.20150366305, Rebecca Edwards describes an air conditioned umbrella which is enhanced with cooling capabilities in the form of battery operated, mist dispensation.

 U.S. Pat. No. 7,412,984 to Terrence Michael Spencer and Nicolle Janine Spencer describes a portable personal shade and cooling device having a handle and a canopy. The handle defines a water reservoir connected to misting nozzles arranged around the periphery of the canopy. The handle incorporates a pressurization source which may be a gas containing cartridge, an external air pump or an integral air pump in the handle.

  U.S. Patent 2008/0048051 to Hung-Jen Chang describes an exemplary misting umbrella that includes an umbrella having an umbrella shank having a middle empty structure, a plurality of umbrella ribs having an irradiation shape disposed at a top end of the umbrella shank, an umbrella canopy covered the umbrella ribs, a pipe disposed in the umbrella shank, a nozzle disposed at an export of the pipe, and a joint disposed at one end of the umbrella shank far away from the nozzle. An hydraulic pressure unit uses high pressure to transport gas or mist to the pipe of the umbrella and to spray out of the nozzle. A switching valve controls the transporting of the gas or mist.

  U.S. Pat. No. 6,886,759 to Andrew Okronick and Jeffrey Lewis describes a personal misting umbrella consisting of a water distribution tubing network that exists within the umbrella canopy. Its placement within and attachment to the spreader and rib umbrella canopy support structure enables the canopy to be operated in an unhindered manner within its stored and unfurled configurations as required by the user. Upon connection of the water distribution tubing network to a source of pressurized water, such as a personalized container and air pump combination, the user selectively fills the canopy with a fine water mist, cooling the shaded air beneath the canopy through evaporative cooling.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,349,975 to Vimagda Valdner describes an air cooled umbrella having a rod,handle with a handgrip, a top spring, a runner, a plurality of stretchers and a collapsible canopy. A plurality of flat ribs resides under the canopy. Each flat rib has a plurality of holes therethrough for venting hot air from under the canopy when opened. An electric fan is built into the rod directly under the canopy, so as to speed up the venting of the hot air and to supply cool air to a person under the canopy. The fan may have supplied power from a solar cell panel mounted on the canopy of the umbrella or alternatively from a separate rechargeable handle battery pack. The separate rechargeable handle battery pack is charged by either the solar cell panel or a separate house current wall socket charger assembly.

U.S. Pat.No. 20050105898 to Bachinski, Thomas J.and Holm, Douglas Mark describes a heating system for umbrella-shaped structures. The heating system may include a shroud or umbrella-shaped structure defining an inner volume, and a plurality of electrical infrared heating elements positioned generally downward facing in the inner volume of the shroud. The shroud may include radially extending support structures to which the heating elements are mounted.

  U.S. Pat. No. 3,739,792 to Holland describes an umbrella with heat generating means. Electric heating elements are located in the ribs of the umbrella framework. The heating elements heat the volume of air present under the umbrella canopy. Electrical heaters in the vertical column are powered by a plurality of batteries contained within the vertical column or carried elsewhere in a pocket or briefcase. The heating elements in the vertical column heat the surrounding air, which rises upwards. The heaters do not therefore warm the handle of the umbrella at the local where the user's hands make contact therewith.

The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed invention. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed explanations that is presented later. The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises a portable sun screen and cooling apparatus for circulating cooled air around a user's head and torso while simultaneously providing shade from the sun without impeding the user's vision. This device functions with12volt electricity. In addition, this invention benefits from the ability to be used as a heating device in cold weather .The mini split in this device contains aluDESCRIPTIONminium networks to fasten transfer of cooled weather.

This portable sun screen and cooling apparatus comprises : shaft , box ,fan blades ,fan protector ,heat sink ,singing head.

The main thing about the said invention is that it benefits from manual function, but due to the consumer's desire it can be used automatically .

Walking around amusement parks, beaches, water parks, or anywhere during a warm sunny day can quickly cause an individual to become overheated and dehydrated. When this happens, people can suffer from sun burn, heat stroke or heat exhaustion, which can become uncomfortable and even dangerous. To avoid these consequences, people often leave the beach or park early. As tickets to amusement and theme parks are expensive, having to leave early can create an economic disincentive to attend those venues. Others try to find areas shaded from the sun or go indoors where there is air conditioning.

Consequently, there exists a need for an apparatus designed to conveniently keep a person cool and protected from the sun and high temperatures while at places such as beaches, amusement parks, and the like. The proposed invention allows a user to circulate cooled air around their head and torso while simultaneously shading their body from the direct sunlight. The circulation of cooled air along with the shading allows the user to remain outdoors longer and decreases the likelihood of over exposure to the sun and from overheating. Additionally, the invention features a singing head which offers the users more convenient feeling and relax them.

In very hot weather this old umbrella and it's shadow does not decrease surrounding temperature during walk. So not prevent sun stroke where sun stroke can happen even during walk below indirect sun rays i.e. this Sun stroke happen even during walking below a shadow of old umbrella and human being has a limited ability to keep his own temperature normal but when weather temperature become very hot above human adaptation leads to inability to control human temperature so core temperature increase and sun stroke happen with it's complication that needs emergency and medical treatment so old umbrella does not protect the risk of sun stroke and needs another idea to keep head temperature of person normal in very hot weather either with continuous evaporation of water above wet head of the user the water keep head wet all the time this is first type umbrella this happen with fan and second type of umbrella by cold air of closed system air condition gas inside tube present inside Jacket connected to well sealed umbrella around head and upper part of the person.
