Air cooling device

Abstract

A vest including inflatable tubes or chambers which receive cool air from a blower box. The vest includes an outer surface and inner surface, the two surfaces joined to defined a multiplicity of tubes. The tubes carry jets which may vent cool air, received form a remote cool air blower box. The jets will ventilate the skin of the wearer both where it is exposed and where the skin is covered by the garment itself.

1 . A system for cooling an individual, the system comprising;
 a delivery device to transfer cooling to the individual;   an air conditioning unit having a pressurized blower box and a heat exchanger; and   a flexible tube for connecting the air conditioning unit to the delivery device.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the delivery device is a vest. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the delivery device is a helmet. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the delivery device is a comforter. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the delivery device is a mummy bag. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the delivery device is a space suit. 
   
   
       7 . A system for cooling at least one individual, the system comprising;
 a delivery device to transfer cooling to the individual;   an air conditioning unit having a pressurized blower box and a heat exchanger;   at least one flexible tube for connecting the air conditioning unit to the delivery device; and   a switching mechanism to select the amount of cooling delivered to the at least one individual.   
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the switching mechanism is connected between a seat on the air conditioning unit 
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the switching mechanism switches between an unrestricted airflow entering the delivery device; a restricted airflow entering the delivery device; or no air flow entering the delivery device. 
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the switching mechanism changes the amount of cooling delivered to the at least one individual via a slide over the seat. 
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein at least two individuals are cooled by the system; each individual having a delivery device connected to the air conditioning unit by a separate flexible tube; and each individual separately controlling cooling delivered via the delivery device using the switching mechanism.
