Abstract:
1. An apparatus for providing a cool, breathable stream of air to a user, the apparatus comprising: an insulated, waterproof repository configured to hold ice, said repository having an intake air duct configured to accept ambient air from outside the repository; a fan directly attached to said repository and positioned to blow air which travels through the intake air duct and into the repository, flowing in between pieces of said ice to come in contact with said ice and cool the air to create the cool, breathable stream of air; a cooled air exit duct extending from a wall of said repository to vent the cool, breathable stream of air through the wall of said repository, wherein said wall is a lid of the repository, said lid being configured to be opened in order to replenish the ice; and a face adapter configured to be slid onto the exit duct so as to be removably attached to said exit duct to form a loose air seal, said face adapter being shaped to receive a user's face pressed against it to provide the cool, breathable stream of air suitable for breathing without attaching the face adapter to the user's face; wherein the face adapter has a volume sufficient to hold at least 0.5 liters of air.
