Encased Box Fan in a Headboard

Abstract

Every individual has his or her own sleep pattern and sleep comfort levels; this can become a challenge with a couple with different sleep preferences. One of those levels is the temperature regulation of the individual sleeper. Some people require a cooler environment while others required a warmer environment. A typical way to address this temperature difference is the use of ventilation. A plurality of fans will be encased in openings in a headboard. The fans will provide ventilation for a person as he or she sleeps. An access panel in the headboard will be provided to easily remove and change each of the plurality of fans.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Couples sometimes have different temperature needs as each person sleeps. This situation is not unique, and often one person may desire their half of the bed to be cooler than the other specifically designed for that purpose. In a traditional bed this is not possible because the only ventilation is typically a ceiling fan that is directed toward everyone in the room. In a person's home the people can modify their surroundings such as through the placement of fans in strategic areas of the room to accommodate the unique needs of each individual.

[0002] However, when the couple rents a room at a hotel the modification of the surroundings is much more challenging. A person in a hotel can request a fan that must be moved into the room for ventilation purposes. This device addresses those challenges by inserting a fan assembly into a headboard that can be monitored and controlled by each of the individuals in the bed.B. PRIOR ART

[0003] There are other prior art references and representing a sample of this is a Hopkins U.S. Pat. No. 8,419,348 which is a fan array section in air handling systems. In this application, the fans operate independently and there may be more than one fan within the array. Another reference can be found at Youngblood U.S. Pat. No. 10,013,883, and Stasczak, U.S. Pat. No. 11,391,286. The Stasczak reference teaches a portable fan assembly. Another reference in the prior art is Ross, U.S. Pat. No. 9,820,049. This is a rack cooling system, and many rack level fans are arranged in array and coupled to racks provide cooling to the occupant.

[0004] This device may have one fan, two fans, or multiple fans within the headboard that abuts the frame of a bed. The fans are stowed in cavitied in the headboard and the fans can be operated independently of each other within the headboard.

[0005] While there are many ways to use fans and the remote operation of the fans there is no prior art that uses fans in a headboard of a bed.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] This invention is comprised of a headboard of a bed which is specifically designed to accommodate at least two fans within cavities in the headboard. Vents, which are adjustable from left to right and up and down, can also be closed and are in front of the fan in the cavity. The vents will help direct the flow of air over the individual as the person sleeps.

[0007] Each individual person will be able to control his or her own unique sleep needs related to ventilation without interfering with the needs of the other person.

[0008] The device will consist of at least two fans, which can be operated independently of each other. Each of the fans can be operated by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, as well as by remove control. Additionally, there may be a light kit added. The individual fan speed can move at low, moderate, and high speeds and the fans operate independently of each other.

[0009] An access panel in the headboard will enable the person to quickly replace the fan or maintain the fan, if desired, with relative ease.

[0010] A light kit will also be included proximate to the vent for the fan to allow a person a small amount of light for reading.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0025] The device, 1, will consist of several components, including a plurality of fans 5, which is encased in a headboard that is proximate to a bed. The bed is not being claimed in this application. The headboard ?? is proximate to the top of the bed and vents on the headboard all air to pass through the vents and provide ventilation for the individual in the bad.

[0026] The figures depict a separate fan for each individual and each of the fans is housed in a separate compartment. Although the Figures depict a single fan for each individual, more than one fan per individual may be used.

[0027] It is anticipated that there will be a vent over the space for the individual. Behind each vent a fan will be housed in a cavity for that purpose. The vents can move left to right and up and down to direct the flow of air as desired by the user of this device.

[0028] It is anticipated that there will be at least one fan over the individual. Each of the fans operate independently of each other. The fans, 5, can be operated at high speed, 6, moderate speed, 7, and low speed, 8 depending on the needs or requirements of the individual. In addition to speed control each of the fans can be operated by remote control 20 and can be operated using wireless technology such as Bluetooth®30 or WiFi.
