Description

In this case, it is difficult to free our other hands to hold a fan and blow air to cool down, so there is a strict restriction on holding an umbrella and using a personal fan at the same time. In response to this situation, the Chinese utility model with the authorization publication number CN212615467U discloses a technical solution of "electric fan applied to umbrella", which allows a personal fan to be clamped on the center pole of the umbrella, which does not require the use of hands and to some extent solves the above-mentioned shortcomings in use.
