AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Fan-equipped garments face issues such as exposure to external elements, aesthetic concerns, and obstruction of airflow due to spacers detaching or being made from rigid materials that reduce flexibility.
Method used
A spacer system comprising a spacer body with an annular portion and a spacer ring, integrated with a female threaded portion, is attached to the fan to secure it, using silicone rubber for flexibility and ABS resin for strength, ensuring airflow integrity and preventing detachment.
Benefits of technology
The spacer system effectively maintains airflow while preventing detachment and exposure, allowing the fan to function efficiently and aesthetically, even in adverse conditions.

Abstract
This design maintains flexibility in the material used for the spacers while making it less likely for the spacers to detach from the fan. [Solution] The spacer 3, which is attached to the fan 2 so as to cover the air intake portion 211 of the fan 2, comprises an opening 3111 through which the air intake portion 211 of the fan 2 can be inserted, a first annular portion 311 formed in an annular shape around the opening 3111, and a spacer ring 32 integrally molded with the first annular portion 311 and screwed into the fan 2.
