Clothing air conditioning system

Abstract

This garment provides an air conditioning system that allows for efficient cooling, primarily of the wearer's back, even when layering rainwear, work clothes, or other outerwear over air-conditioned clothing equipped with a cooling fan. [Solution] The air-conditioned garment consists of a pair of left and right cooling fans attached to the back of the back panel, a pair of left and right spacers attached to the air-conditioned garment together with the cooling fans, each having an air intake opening downwards toward the cooling fans, and a rainwear, work clothes, or other outer garment M that is worn over the air-conditioned garment so as to cover the spacers as well. The back fabric 34A and the body fabric 34B of the back panel of the outer garment are sewn together such that the upper edge b of the body fabric and the lower edge a of the back fabric overlap by a certain distance H between them, so that the gap between the inner and outer surfaces of the fabrics becomes a pair of left and right ventilation openings P2 that correspond to the cooling fans of the air-conditioned garment and the spacers attached to the cooling fans, allowing the cooling fans to draw in outside air from the ventilation openings of the outer garment through the downward-opening air intake openings of the spacers into the air-conditioned garment, thereby cooling the wearer's back.
