  • Patent number: 11852359
    Abstract: An air-blowing apparatus includes a main body and a fan. In the main body a blow-out region is formed. The fan is provided in the main body and sends air toward the blow-out region. The air-blowing apparatus blows out air from the blow-out region such that a ratio (Vmax/Vmin) of a maximum value Vmax of wind velocity to a minimum value Vmin of the wind velocity is 1 or more and 10 or less in a target virtual plane. The target virtual plane is a virtual plane that faces the blow-out region. As a result, comfort of a person exposed to the wind sent from the air-blowing apparatus is improved.
