Combined power device, light and fan

Claim 1

A combined portable light, electrical outlet and fan assembly comprising a supporting frame including a generally vertical front panel and side frame members, means stably supporting the frame on a support surface, electrical outlet socket means mounted on said front panel, a light mounted on said front panel for directing a light beam forwardly of the assembly, a blower housing mounted on said side frame members, a blower mounted in said housing, said blower housing being generally cylindrical in configuration and having a tangential air outlet, a handle attached to said blower housing to enable the assembly to be carried to a desired site of use, an electrical cord and plug adapted to engage with an electrical outlet for supplying electrical energy to the outlet socket means, light and blower, a switch for selectively actuating the blower independent of the light, a switch for actuating the light independently of the blower, said electrical outlet socket means being directly electrically connected with the cord for energization independent of the blower and light, said blower housing having end walls with each end wall including an air inlet, and means connecting the blower housing to the side frame members for pivotal movement of the housing about a horizontal axis generally parallel to the front panel without interference with air entering the air inlets for movement of the air outlet between a horizontal position in which air is directed forwardly of the front panel toward a work area illuminated by the light and a vertical position to enable air to be discharged in a desired direction, said handle being offset from the pivot axis of the blower housing to enable application of rotational torque to the blower housing.
