The following sections provide a description of the apparatus for Modified Chair with Cooling Air Jets, its specific details, its features and its advantages over the other prior models.
As previously discussed, some of the prior patents have designs that use complex air blowing systems to circulate air around the chair. Some other prior patents require some kind of coolant material to provide the cool air. Yet another prior patent requires cool water to make the circulating air cool. In contrast, the apparatus described as an embodiment in FIG. 1 is structurally different from all prior patents and endeavors to overcome the limitations faced by prior patents. It is an object of the present invention is to provide a modified chair with a cooling mechanism associated with it. Another object of this invention is to provide a compact and portable chair that provides cool refreshing air to the user. Another object of this invention is to provide consistent amounts of cool air in a soothing manner focusing along the length of the user's body. Yet another object of this invention is to allow the user to feel refreshed and relaxed while using the chair for various purposes such as sun bathing, or simply reclining in a chair. Another object of this invention is to allow the air to blow over the skin of a person sunbathing in the chair, and making the perspiration evaporate and thus effectively cool the user's body. It is another object of this invention to be versatile such that the present invention could be used in various places such as public swimming pools, water parks, hotels, resorts or cruise ships. In one embodiment, a hose with air jets is inserted into the tubular hollow frame and when the battery-operated motor is turned on the air in the reservoir is made cool through the fans and the cool air is forced through the nozzle into the hose with jets. The cool air is forced out of the jets and out of the tubular frame onto the surface of the body of the user.
The apparatus for Modified Chair with Cooling Air Jets, described in the present invention is easy to manufacture, is easy to use, has a simple design, is practical, is convenient, is durable, provides comfort to the user and can be produced in different colors, sizes, and shapes.
