Hat mounted ventilation apparatus

Claim 1

A ventilating apparatus for mounting upon head gear comprising: (a) a cylindrical body having upper and lower ends; (b) a circular flange secured to the lower end of said cylindrical body about the axis of said cylindrical body, said flange having a circumference which is larger than that of said cylindrical body; (c) frictional securing means disposed about the outer surface of the cylindrical body for securing the head gear adjacent said circular flange; (d) a rotary power source coupled to the cylindrical body along the axis thereof; (e) a multiple bladed impeller coupled to the rotary power source and adapted to rotate about the axis of the cylindrical body; (f) direct current power means coupled to the rotary power source; (g) a first semicircular deflection member having a radius which is substantially equal to that of the cylindrical body, said first deflection member depending downwardly from the lower end of the cylindrical body; (h) a second deflection member integral with the first deflection member opposite the cylindrical body, said second deflection member being disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to the first deflection member; and (i) a third deflection member pivotally coupled to said first deflection member, said third deflection member being adapted to adjustably deflect the axial flow of air from said multiple bladed impeller.
