Abstract: A portable air cooled seat cushion is provided in which a fan produces an air stream which is directed to the interior of a portable cushion. The cushion is to be placed on a preformed seat, such as a vehicle seat. The cushion has an air permeable outer covering on a front face thereof which permits air to flow out of the cushion against the legs and back of an occupant of the cushion. The fan is connected to the cushion by a flexible hose, permitting the fan to be located by the occupant in a desirable selected location. Controls are provided for the occupant to adjust the speed of the fan and to be visually apprised of the power level being supplied to the fan.
