[0025] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fan 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0026] The fan described in this embodiment is a fan made of wood, but is not limited to fans made of wood.
[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the fan 100 includes a handle 200 having a handle for a user to hold the fan 100; and a fan portion 300 disposed on the handle member 210 side of the handle 200 (on the y-axis positive side).
[0028] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a metal plate 400 for attaching the fan 100 may be used as a set with the fan 100.
[0029] The handle portion 200 is a pommel member 210 to which the fan portion 300 is connected; and a handle member 220 which is the portion that the user holds.
[0030] In this embodiment, the handle 200 is made of wood.
[0031] On the back side (negative z-axis direction side) of the handle member 210, a side magnet portion 211 having magnetic force is provided.
[0032] Although the side magnet portion 211 in this embodiment has a substantially circular shape in plan view (xy plan view), it does not have to be circular.
[0033] This allows the fan 100 to be magnetically connected to a metal part that is attracted to a magnet.
[0034] Furthermore, by adhering the metal plate 600 to a wall surface or the like, the handle member 210 of the fan 100 can be connected to the metal plate 600.
[0035] The handle member 210 is provided with a groove (not shown) that opens upward (toward the positive y-axis direction), into which the fan portion 300 can be inserted and fixed.
[0036] The handle member 210 and the fan portion 300 may be integrally formed.
[0037] The pommel member 210 according to this embodiment is generally fan-shaped in plan view (xy plan view), but may be in a shape other than a fan shape.
[0038] In this embodiment, an insertion portion (not shown) into which the handle member 220 can be inserted is provided below the handle member 210 (on the negative y-axis side), and by inserting the handle member 220 into the insertion portion (not shown), the handle member 220 and the handle member 210 are connected and fixed.
[0039] The handle member 210 and the handle member 220 may be integrally formed.
[0040] The handle member 220 is the part that the user holds when using the fan 100.
[0041] A bottom surface magnet portion 222 having magnetic force is provided on a bottom surface 221 (the end portion on the negative y-axis direction side) of the handle member 220.
[0042] The bottom magnet portion 222 in this embodiment has a substantially circular shape in a plan view (xz plan view) similar to the side magnet portion 211, but does not have to have a circular shape.
[0043] The bottom surface 221 is flat, so the fan 100 can stand on its own, but since the bottom surface 221 is provided with a bottom surface magnet part 222, it can be attached to a table or the like by magnetic force, so that the fan 100 can stand on its own even if the area of the bottom surface 221 is small.
[0044] Furthermore, since the fan 100 can stand on its own without increasing the area of the bottom surface 221, the handle 222 becomes stylish and aesthetically pleasing.
[0045] As a result, when the fan 100 is made to stand on its own, if there is a metal part to which a magnet is attached in the place where the fan 100 is placed, the fan 100 will not easily tip over due to magnetic force.
[0046] Furthermore, by allowing the fan 100, which has a unique design, to stand on its own, it becomes a highly aesthetic interior item.
[0047] Furthermore, by adhering the metal plate 400 to a table surface or the like, the bottom surface 221 of the fan 100 can be connected to the metal plate 400 by magnetic force.
[0048] The handle member 220 according to this embodiment is cylindrical, but may be configured so that the bottom surface 221 side is wider downward (toward the negative y-axis direction).
[0049] In this case, there is an advantage that the fan 100 can easily stand on its own.
[0050] Furthermore, although the handle member 220 according to this embodiment is cylindrical, it may also be prism-shaped with a polygonal cross section.
[0051] Even in this case, the aesthetics are not impaired.
[0052] The fan section 300 includes a paper member 310 composed of a cover member 311 and a backing member 312, An edge member 320 attached to the tip of the fan portion 300; and a plurality of rib members 330 disposed between the cover member 311 and the backing member 312.
[0053] In this embodiment, the fan part 300 is made of a paper material, but it may be made of plastic or the like.
[0054] In this embodiment, the fan section 300 has a substantially semicircular shape in plan view (xy plan view), but it may have a circular shape and the shape is not limited thereto.
[0055] The paper member 310 is attached to the frame member 330. In this embodiment, the paper member 310 is attached to both the front surface (positive z-axis direction side) and the back surface (negative z-axis direction side). It is also possible to attach it to only one surface.
[0056] In this embodiment, the cover member 311 has a pattern drawn thereon, but it may have no pattern drawn thereon, or the backing member 312 may have no pattern drawn thereon.
[0057] The edge member 320 is attached to the periphery of the tip side of the fan part 300. The edge member 320 makes it difficult for the paper member 310 to peel off, and also reinforces the fan part 300.
[0058] The edge member 320 is a portion provided on the outer edge of the tip side of the paper member 310 and the rib member 330. The edge member 320 is preferably made of the same material as the paper member 310.
[0059] The edge portion of the fan 100 is prone to contact and wear, so by providing the edge member 320 to the fan 100, the durability of the fan 100 is improved.
[0060] 1 and 2, a plurality of bone members 330 extend in the radial direction of the fan portion 300, centered on the pommel member 210. The bone members may also be of a type that spreads out like a palm.
[0061] A cover member 311 and a backing member 312 are attached to the frame member 330.
[0062] The rib members 330 increase the strength of the fan part 300. In this embodiment, the rib members 330 are made of wood, but they may also be made of bamboo or plastic, and the material is not limited thereto.
[0063] The handle portion 200 and the rib member 330 may be integrally formed.
[0064] The metal plate 400 has double-sided tape attached to the backside, allowing it to be attached anywhere.
[0065] The metal plate 400 according to this embodiment is a plate having a circular shape in plan view (xz plan view) and a flat surface, but may have any shape.
[0066] By adhering the metal plate 400 to a wall or table, the fan 100 can be attached to the metal plate 400 by the magnetic force of the side magnet part 211 or bottom magnet part 222, and the fan 100 can be attached or made to stand on its own.
[0067] The present invention can be implemented in various forms with improvements, modifications, or variations added thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
