Table and fan combo
Abstract
The device is comprised of a low profile motorized fan and housing enclosure that mounts out of plain site beneath a typical utility table top. The table and fan assembly allows for occupant leg room, easy storage, and portability of table. The fan enclosure avoids comingling of intake and vented air by redirecting intake air flow perpendicularly to the vented air. The enclosure vents air outward from the center of the underside of table top up to three hundred and sixty degrees parallel to the table top. The device allows for the optimum installation of an optional heater and or water mister device by supplying a section for their installation where the complete air stream is channeled. The enclosure provides optional receptacles for a shade umbrella support pole to transfer umbrella support loads through the housing enclosure.
