Air circulating device

Abstract

An air circulating device including a housing which contains a blowing fan and a motor. The housing includes an air inlet port and an air outlet port, with a plug provided at a surface of the housing to be connected to a power source. The blowing fan is set in the housing, as is the motor which drives the blowing fan.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An air circulating device, comprising: 
 a housing having an air inlet port and an air outlet port, with a plug provided at a surface of the housing to be connected to a power source;    a blowing fan set in the housing; and    a motor to drive the blowing fan.    
     
     
         2 . The air circulating device according to  claim 1 , wherein the air inlet port is provided at a front of the housing, and the air outlet port is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the housing.  
     
     
         3 . The air circulating device according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises: 
 a front casing provided with the air inlet port; and    a rear casing assembled with the front casing, wherein the air outlet port is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the rear casing.    
     
     
         4 . The air circulating device according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a power switch; and    a mode conversion switch, wherein the power switch and the mode conversion switch are provided at a predetermined portion of the housing.    
     
     
         5 . The air circulating device according to  claim 4 , further comprising a reversible motor, wherein the mode conversion switch changes a rotating direction of the blowing fan, thus allowing the air inlet port to serve as an air outlet port while allowing the air outlet port to serve as an air inlet port.  
     
     
         6 . The air circulating device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a timer mounted to a predetermined portion of the housing, wherein the timer controls an operating time of the blowing fan.  
     
     
         7 . The air circulating device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a socket provided at a surface of the housing, thus allowing a plug of another electrical device to be connected to the socket.  
     
     
         8 . The air circulating device of  claim 7 , wherein the socket is provided opposite to the surface of the housing having the plug.  
     
     
         9 . The air circulating device according to  claim 1 , wherein the air circulating device is structurally supported by the plug when connected to a wall outlet.  
     
     
         10 . The air circulating device according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a unit to support a scented material, to affect the olfactory quality of the circulated air.  
     
     
         11 . An air circulating device comprising: 
 a housing having an air inlet port and an air outlet port;    a plug provided at a surface of the housing to be connected to a power source; and    a socket provided at a surface of the housing, wherein a plug of another electrical device connects to the socket and is powered by the same source as the air circulating device.    
     
     
         12 . An air circulating device comprising: 
 a housing having an air inlet port and an air outlet port; and    a plug provided at a surface of the housing to be connected to a power source, wherein the air circulating device is structurally supported by the plug when connected to a wall outlet.
