  • Patent number: 6843965
    Abstract: A sports figure shaped fan for ventilation grills comprising a caricature formed in the shape of a sports figure. The fan is attached to a ventilation grill and the arms are extended and rotate when subjected to a back draft from the air flow of the ventilation system. The rotation mimics a throwing action of the sports figure. The fan also includes a reservoir and access to the reservoir for inserting one of a scenting agent, a deodorizing agent and a combination thereof, in the reservoir located in a designated portion of the caricature. The designated portion of the sports figure caricature is sufficiently permeable on either side of the reservoir so that a vapor is dispersed by the movement of the air flow. Another embodiment includes the lighting of a portion of the sports figure when a telecommunication signal is received by a cell phone.
