Benefits of technology

[0023]A still further object of the present invention is to provide a novel air distribution system that can use moisturized ambient air to cool the skin of an individual.
[0024]A self-contained air distribution system for an individual which can distribute air over the chest, back, head, or legs of the individual, directly against the skin or the clothing of the ind

Problems solved by technology

Other individuals performing in such ambient temperatures are not often allowed the luxury of rest breaks and the like.
These individuals are subjected to substantial fluid loss due to the clothing they are wearing, the equipment they are carrying, and the ambient thermal atmosphere.
Cooling garments have been widely explored and include systems which attempt to blot the moisture and perspiration from the body, as well as incorporation an air fl

Embodiment Construction

[0030]FIG. 1 is a front view of the self-contained air distribution system of the present invention. The self-contained air distribution system 10 is described initially with respect to its adaption to use by a human individual who is required to perform physical activity in ambient atmosphere which is conducive to excessive perspiration. This would include construction workers, astronauts, military personnel, hazardous waste clean up individuals, fire fighters, and others who oftentimes are required to wear substantial protective clothing and equipment. The distribution of air by the system will have a cooling and evaporative effect on the individual wearing the system, either directly to the skin or the clothing. It will also be understood that while the preferred embodiment is illustrated with two distribution nozzles, the system can be operated with a single distribution nozzle or more than two distribution nozzles without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Abstract

A self-contained air distribution system for an individual which can distribute air over the chest, back, head, or skin of the individual, the system including a battery operated blower fan in communication with the plenum and manifold, the manifold having primary exhaust nozzles which may be attached to secondary distribution conduits extending over the chest, back, or head of the individual, thereby allowing air to selectively escape providing a cooling and evaporate effect.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Applicant claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 962,798, filed Nov. 18, 2013.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1.
