Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63 / 626,676, filed Jan. 30, 2024, and entitled “INSULATED SPRAY FAN SYSTEM”, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.BACKGROUND

[0002] Conventional spray bottles are commonly used for dispensing liquids onto a targeted area. Conventional handheld fans are utilized to create airflow for personal comfort. Conventional handheld fans typically do not have the capability to dispense refreshing mist or liquids.

[0003] Spray fan bottles combine the functionality of a traditional spray bottle with a handheld fan, providing users with a convenient and efficient means of cooling and refreshing themselves in various settings. A spray fan bottle typically includes a container for holding a liquid, a nozzle mechanism for dispensing the liquid in the form of a fine mist, and a fan mechanism for creating a cooling airflow. The integration of these components into a single device allows users to conveniently spray a refreshing mist while simultaneously enjoying the cooling effect of a fan. This dual-functionality makes the spray fan bottle ideal for use in outdoor activities, travel, sporting events, and other situations where staying cool and hydrated is desirable. Spray fan bottles can be especially valuable for individuals during physical exertion (e.g., walking, exercise, sport activities) and / or in warm weather environments.

[0004] The subject matter claimed herein is not limited to embodiments that operate only in environments such as those described above. Rather, this background is only provided to illustrate one exemplary technology area where some embodiments described herein may be practiced.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Disclosed embodiments are directed to spray fan systems and components thereof.

[0019] As noted above, spray fan bottles combine the functionality of a traditional spray bottle with a handheld fan. Spray fan bottles are often used in warm environments. Accordingly, spray fan bottles can be subjected to warm ambient temperatures for extended periods of time, which can increase the temperature of the liquid held within the container thereof. As the temperature of the liquid within a spray fan bottle increases, the refreshing and / or cooling effect of the spray when combined with the airflow generated by the fan reduces, resulting in sub-optimal user experiences. Some individuals attempt to counteract the warming of the liquid within a spray fan bottle by introducing ice, but such measures often have a short-lived effect and can result in condensation on the spray fan bottle.

[0020] At least some disclosed embodiments are directed to a spray fan system that incorporates an insulated bottle. The insulated bottle can include an insulating layer surrounding at least part of an interior cavity. The insulated bottle can further include a bottle opening for accessing the interior cavity. The bottle opening can include threads.

[0021] The spray fan system can include a spray fan head that is specifically tailored to engage with an insulated bottle. For instance, the spray fan head can include a base that has a threaded region for connecting to the insulated bottle. The spray fan head can further include a stem that extends from the base toward a fan head that has a spray nozzle and a fan. In some implementations, the base diameter of the base and the fan head diameter of the fan head are within about 20% of one another. In some instances, the base diameter and a fan diameter of the fan are within about 20% of one another. In some examples, the thread diameter of the threaded region and the fan head diameter are within about 20% of one another. In some embodiments, the thread diameter and the fan diameter are within about 20% of one another. In some implementations, the base diameter is greater than about 50% of the combined or total height of the fan head and the stem (e.g., measured from where the stem connects to the base to the top of the fan head). In some instances, the thread diameter is greater than about 50% of the combined height of the fan head and the stem. In some examples, the base diameter is greater than the height of the stem. In some embodiments, the base diameter of the base, or the thread diameter of the threaded end, is greater than about 2 inches. Configurations such as any of the foregoing can enable the spray fan head to engage with a wide-mouthed opening of an insulated bottle.

[0022] In some embodiments, the base of the spray fan head includes an insulating layer configured for positioning over the bottle opening of the insulated bottle when the threaded end of the base engages with the threads of the insulated bottle. The insulating layer can include a draw tube opening or hole through which a draw tube of the spray fan head may extend into the interior cavity of the insulated bottle. In some instances, the draw tube hole is at least partially defined by an annular feature that extends from the insulating layer. A spray fan system as described herein can thus complement the insulating features of an insulating bottle to maintain a cool temperature of the liquid held by the spray fan system, even in the presence of warm ambient temperatures.

[0023] In some implementations, the spray nozzle of the spray fan head is positioned on the fan head offset from the center (or rotational axis) of the fan by a distance that is greater than the radius of the fan. In such implementations, the spray nozzle can be oriented with a tilt to enable the spray nozzle to spray into the airflow created by the fan during operation. Such functionality can mitigate fluid waste that could occur by the fan blades of the fan obstructing the spray path of the spray nozzle (e.g., with the spray nozzle positioned behind the fan blades to spray through the spinning fan).

[0024] Having just described some of the high-level features and / or advantages associated with the disclosed embodiments, attention will now be directed to FIGS. 1 through 12, which provide supporting illustrations for describing the disclosed embodiments.

[0025] FIG. 1 illustrates an example spray fan system 100, according to implementations of the disclosed subject matter. The spray fan system 100 includes an insulated bottle 102 and a spray fan head 120. In the example of FIG. 1, the insulated bottle 102 includes an insulating layer 104 (or bottle insulating layer) that at least partially surrounds an interior cavity 106. The interior cavity 106 can house fluids to be dispensed via the spray fan head 120. The insulating layer 104 can comprise any suitable insulating material, while preventing the insulating material from interacting with the fluid held within the interior cavity 106. For example, the insulating layer 104 may comprise a separate and distinct compartment of the insulated bottle 102 (e.g., distinct from the interior cavity) that houses air, a vacuum layer, polymer materials, ceramic insulation, and / or others.

[0026] FIG. 1 also illustrates a threaded region 122 for engaging with threads of an opening of the insulated bottle 102. Although the example shown in FIG. 1 depicts the threaded region 122 of the spray fan head 120 as comprising exterior threads (with the opening of the insulated bottle 102 including interior threads), an opposite configuration is within the scope of the present disclosure (e.g., with the threaded region of the spray fan head comprising interior threads and with the opening of the insulated bottle comprising exterior threads).

[0027] In the example of FIG. 1, the threaded region 122 is positioned on a base 124 (which may be regarded, in some implementations, as a separate component to which the spray fan head 120 is connected). In the example shown in FIG. 1, to visually differentiate the components, the spray fan head 120 is illustrated with solid lines, the base 124 is illustrated with broken lines (dash-dash), and the insulated bottle 102 is illustrated with a different style of broken lines (dash-dot-dash).

[0028] The example base 124 of FIG. 1 includes an insulating layer 126 that becomes positioned over the bottle opening 108 of the insulated bottle 102 when the threaded region 122 of the base 124 engages with corresponding threads of the insulated bottle 102. The insulating layer 126 can comprise insulating material (e.g., a polymeric material). The insulating layer 126 can contribute to thermal isolation of liquid held by the interior cavity 106 of the insulated bottle 102 from the outside environment.

[0029] FIG. 2 illustrates a bottom perspective view of the base 124 of the spray fan head 120 of the spray fan system 100. As shown in FIG. 2, the insulating layer 126 of the base 124 may define a draw tube opening 128, through which a draw tube 130 may extend into the interior cavity 106 of the insulated bottle 102 (FIG. 1 illustrates the draw tube 130). In the example shown in FIG. 2, the draw tube opening 128 is defined by an annular feature 180 that extends downward from the insulating layer 126 (e.g., toward the interior of the interior cavity 106 when the base 124 is secured to the insulated bottle 102). The annular feature 180 may comprise insulating material (e.g., the same material as the insulating layer 126) and may therefore further contribute to thermal isolation of liquid held by the interior cavity 106 of the insulated bottle 102 when the base 124 is connected to the insulated bottle 102.

[0030] FIG. 3 illustrates a front view of the spray fan head 120 and the base 124 of the spray fan system 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the spray fan head 120 can include a stem 132 that extends from the base 124. The stem 132 shown in FIG. 3 extends from the base 124 to a fan head 134 of the spray fan head 120. In the example of FIG. 3, the fan head 134 includes a fan 136 and a spray nozzle 138.

[0031] In some implementations, the size of the base 124, the insulating layer 126, and / or the threaded region 122 thereof is selected relative to the size of the fan head 134, the fan 136, and / or the stem 132, which can achieve a desirable balance of insulation characteristics, liquid capacity, and / or achievable airflow for the spray fan system 100. For instance, the base diameter 140 of the base 124 (or the insulating layer 126) and / or the thread diameter 142 of the threaded region 122 can be selected to be within about 20% (or about 15%, about 10%, about 5%, about 1%, or any percent range with range endpoints selected from among or between any of the foregoing values) of the fan head diameter 144 of the fan head 134 and / or the fan diameter 146 of the fan 136. As used herein, two distance measurements are within X percent of one another when the absolute difference between the two distances is equal to or less than X percent of the larger distance measurement. As another example, the base diameter 140 and / or the thread diameter 142 (see FIG. 1) can be selected to be greater than the height 150 of the stem 132 and / or greater than about 50% of the combined height 152 of the fan head 134 and the stem 132.

[0032] In one example embodiment, the base diameter 140 is about 78 mm, the thread diameter 142 is about 65 mm, the fan head diameter 144 is about 81.48 mm, the fan diameter is about 71 mm, the height 150 of the stem 132 is about 43 mm, and the combined height 152 of the fan head 134 and the stem 132 is about 120.74 mm. In some implementations, the base diameter is greater than about 1.5 inches, or greater than 1.75 inches, or greater than 2 inches, or greater than 2.5 inches, or greater than 3 inches.

[0033] The spray nozzle 138 shown in FIG. 3 is operable via a trigger 154 of the spray fan head 120. The spray nozzle 138 is connected to the draw tube 130 such that fluid drawn from the interior cavity 106 of the insulated bottle 102 may be sprayed from the spray nozzle 138 when the trigger 154 is actuated. In some implementations, at least part of the spray nozzle 138 is offset from the center or rotational axis of the fan 136 by a distance that is greater than the radius of the fan 136. Such a configuration can mitigate fluid waste that could occur by the fan blades of the fan 136 obstructing the spray path of the spray nozzle 138.

[0034] FIG. 4 illustrates a side view of the spray fan head 120 and the base 124, which provides a view of the trigger 154 of the spray fan head 120. FIG. 5 illustrates a rear view of the spray fan head 120 and the base 124. FIG. 5 illustrates a power button 156 for powering the fan 136 on or off. One will appreciate that the positioning and form of the power button 156 shown in FIG. 5 are provided by way of example only and do not limit the disclosed subject matter. For instance, a power switch may be implemented instead of a power button. Additional or alternative controls may be included on the spray fan head 120, such as fan speed controls. In some instances, functionality of different controls may be combined (e.g., a single button may be pressable to power on / off the fan 136 and to change the fan speed).

[0035] The fan 136 may be battery-powered, and the battery may be housed by the spray fan head 120. In some implementations, the battery is rechargeable (though non-rechargeable batteries may be used in accordance with the disclosed principles). FIG. 5 illustrates example positioning of a charging receptacle 182 to facilitate charging of a battery housed by the spray fan head 120. Other charging modalities and / or formats are within the scope of the present disclosure (e.g., wireless charging).

[0036] FIG. 6 illustrates a perspective view of the spray fan head 120 and the base 124 of the spray fan system 100. As indicated above, the spray fan head 120 and the base 124 may be separate components. Furthermore, the spray fan head 120 may be formed from multiple components, such as a front cover 184 and a rear cover 186. The front cover 184 and the rear cover 186 may be separately formed (e.g., via molding processes) and then connected together for ease of manufacture. FIG. 7 illustrates a perspective view of the front cover 184 of the spray fan head 120 in isolation. FIG. 8 illustrates a perspective view of the rear cover 186 of the spray fan head 120 in isolation. FIG. 7 depicts engagement features 188 (shown by way of example in the form of protrusions) of the front cover 184 that are configured to interface with corresponding engagement features 190 (shown by way of example in the form of recesses, see FIG. 8) of the rear cover 186 to facilitate connection of the front cover 184 to the rear cover 186 to form the spray fan head 120. One will appreciate, in view of the present disclosure, that other types of engagement features other than protrusions / recesses may be utilized.

[0037] FIG. 9 illustrates a bottom view of the front cover 184 and the rear cover 186 of the spray fan head 120 connected together (e.g., to form the stem 132 and / or other features of the spray fan head 120). FIG. 9 depicts engagement features 192A (e.g., a first subset of engagement features) of the front cover 184 and engagement features 192B (e.g., a second subset of engagement features) of the rear cover 186 (shown by way of example in the form of recesses), which may become planarly aligned to interface with corresponding engagement features of the base 124. FIG. 10 illustrates a perspective view of the base 124 and shows the corresponding engagement features 194 (shown by way of example in the form of protrusions) that can interface with the engagement features 192A and the engagement features 192B of the front cover 184 and the rear cover 186, respectively, to facilitate connection of the spray fan head 120 to the base 124. As noted above, other types of engagement features may be utilized. Furthermore, the quantity and positioning of the engagement features shown and described with reference to FIGS. 7-10 are provided by way of example only.

[0038] The engagement features 192A and the engagement features 192B of the spray fan head 120 can enable the spray fan head 120 to connect to different types of bases adapted to function as lids for different types of insulating bottles. In this regard, the spray fan heads with a common design can be connected to different types of bases, which can improve manufacturing efficiency by limiting the number of necessary manufacturing configurations. For instance, FIG. 11 illustrates an alternative base 196 with different overall size characteristics (e.g., a different base diameter and thread diameter) but with engagement features 198 that are designed and relatively positioned similar to the engagement features 194 of the base 124 as shown and described with reference to FIG. 10. The spray fan head 120 can be alternatively connected to either the base 124 or the alternative base 196 to adapt the spray fan head 120 for use with different types of insulated bottles.

[0039] In one example embodiment, the base 196 comprises a base diameter of about 48 mm and a thread diameter of about 40 mm. A spray fan head 120 connected to a base (e.g., base 124, base 196, or another type of base) can be regarded as a spray fan head assembly.

[0040] FIG. 10 illustrates an additional annular feature 200 of the base 124 that extends from the insulating layer 126 (e.g., on an opposite side of the insulating layer 126 relative to annular feature 180) and contributes to defining the draw tube opening 128. For instance, the draw tube opening 128 of the base 124 can be defined by both the annular feature 180 (see FIG. 2) and the additional annular feature 200 (see FIG. 10) of the base 124. FIGS. 2 and 10 indicate that the draw tube opening 128 can have different diameters at different sections thereof. For instance, the part of the draw tube opening 128 defined by the annular feature 180 comprises a smaller diameter than the part of the draw tube opening 128 defined by the additional annular feature 200, as is evident in FIGS. 2 and 10. Stated differently, the draw tube opening 128 can have differently side diameters on different sides of the base 124 (or base 196). FIGS. 2 and 10 also indicate that the annular feature 180 and the additional annular feature 200 can comprise a substantially similar outer diameter (e.g., within the diameters of the two annular features 180 and 200 being within about 10% of one another).

[0041] FIG. 12 illustrates an exploded view of the spray fan head 120 and the base 196, showing various elements thereof. For instance, FIG. 12 shows the front cover 184 and the rear cover 186 that combine together to form the stem 132 and the fan head 134 of the spray fan head 120. Each of the front cover 184 and the rear cover 186 can include a part of a battery housing 162 (see FIGS. 7 and 8, showing parts 162A and 162B of the front cover 184 and the rear cover 186, respectively, that combine to form the battery housing 162). FIG. 12 furthermore depicts a battery 168, which may reside within the battery housing 162 and / or interior space formed by the front cover 184, the rear cover 186, and the base 196 (or base 124) when they are connected to one another. In some implementations, the interior space formed by the front cover 184, the rear cover 186, and the base 196 (or base 124) at least partially traps air therein, contributing to thermal isolation of liquid positioned within an interior cavity 106 of an insulated bottle 102 to which the base 196 (or base 124) is threadedly connected.

[0042] In one example embodiment, the battery 168 comprises a lithium-ion rechargeable battery (e.g., providing 5,000 milliamp hours), though other types of batteries may be used (e.g., a nickel-metal hydride battery, a lithium polymer battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-zinc battery, a lithium iron phosphate battery, a silver-zinc battery, etc., or one or more single-use batteries), which may be selectively removable from the spray fan head 120 or may be integrated within the spray fan head 120. FIG. 12 illustrates a PCB controller 170, which may be electrically connected to the battery 168 and can be used to facilitate control and / or operation of various components of the spray fan head 120 (e.g., the power button 156, a fan motor 202 connected to the fan 136, etc.). FIG. 12 furthermore depicts a charging port 172 in connection with the PCB controller 170, which may be accessible via the charging receptacle 182 of the rear cover 186 to facilitate charging of the battery 168. Although FIG. 12 depicts the charging port 172 as a USB-C type charging port, other types of charging ports and / or modalities may be used.

[0043] FIG. 12 furthermore illustrates the draw tube 130 extending through the base 196. As shown in FIG. 12, the draw tube 130 may comprise or be connected to a pump 204 configured to draw fluid from the interior cavity 106 of the insulated bottle 102 and spray the fluid through the spray nozzle 138 (e.g., at an end of the draw tube 130). In the example shown in FIG. 12, the pump 204 includes a pump chamber 206 and a pump actuator 208. The pump actuator 208 may be actuated via arms 210 of the trigger 154 when the trigger 154 is connected to the front cover 184.
