Most importantly, the present invention relates too outdoor equipment (for humans, animals & pets) combined with fan assemblies in combination with having weather protection-covers, shields, and canopy-shades, to provide comfort, relief, and air-flow for the purposes of cooling.

2. Description of Prior Art

There are prior canopy and umbrella units that utillize various numbers of moving parts, while having the fan-blades connected-to, or built around the shaft.examples are: U.S. Pat. No. 5,868,152, U.S. Pat. No. 5,273,062, U.S. Pat. No. 5,172,711, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,230,723B1 . . . (US). Unlike these, the present Invention will benefit by use of *an (entire) fan-blade unit, less moving parts, non-complicated mainenance, and less maintenance, having the entirely-combined fan-blade units *attachable, *detachable, and *transportable, having the (entire) fan-blade units “fitted-into the protective-coveshade” or “transportably-attached to the base and or structure” of the devices, having the (entire) fan-blade units collapse when the canopy or structure collapses, by having an extremely *lightweight flat-paneled design, using a cover-lid for the fan-units which doubles as a power-source, hav-a transportable-container too propell coolants, benefiting from a protective-shell housing for other applications, utillizing unique technics & methods for sources for power, “having the (same capabillities as mentioned above) when combined with **various-other Outdoor Equipment: pet, recreational, automotive, watercraft, agribusiness, utillity, sports, offroad, heavy-equipment, industrial, etc.”.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Invention, viewed in accordance with the pictorial-(description of the drawings) and their reference numbers, will give understanding as to the nature, objects, art-work, mechanics, advantages, features, and benefits given.

The object of the present invention is too (combine) outdoor equipment-structure(s) and protective shade-cover(s) with fitted cool-aid fan-shade technology unit(s), for the purposes of cooling humans, animals, and pets “adjacent to the fan-units”, and for purposes of intakeing cool air & exhausting hot air, while comforting those humans, animals, pets, or objects “residing within the interior-compartment-structures of outdoor equipment and or protective-covershades”.

Advantages, benefits, improvements, and what is needed are as follows: A need, for a fan-unit of *flatpaneled-design and being (*an entire fan-unit), coming in *sizes from tiny, small, medium, large to extra-large (according to methods of operation), having the ability too be (affixed-to), or (incorporated into) *various outdoor equipment-structure(s) and or protective-canopy-cover(s) with the use of *transportable (attachable-detachable) means and methods. “Having (combined) outdoor equipment product-usages for **humans, animals & pets”. Outdoor equipment-structure(s), protective canopy-shadecovers, bimini's (hardtops and softtops), tents, tops, tarps, awnings, shelters and umbrella's “can be fitted with *one or **multiple (combined) *lightweight fan-units, which is presented in the art-work”. Canopies, umbrella's, bimini's and covershade types of structures are given the ability to have these fan-units **£fitted-into£ the (fabric-material) of the cover-shade itself, unlike other canopy devices that incorporate the fan unit underneath the canopy to recirculate air, “this allows the benefit of pulling-in & circulating *cooler air from exterior the canopy”. Canopy and umbrella users of (combined) cool-aid fan-shade unit(s) can attach or **detach £the entire fan-unit£ from its base, shaft, canopy-cover, structure when closeing, storing, or transporting of a canopy-structure, or users may (optionally) **fold £the entire fan-unit£ downward parallel to its shaft or base-mount with the use of a *hinged extension-arm-mount, bar or clamp (as shown in the art-work). Umbrella and canopy users may further benefit from the transportable *container (for storing coolants), enabling circulation of **increased cooler-air-flow to be propelled by the fan-units of outdoor equipment. The £entire fan-units£ may be transported and recharged, or by use of an *extension-cord-adapter. *Powersources for these (combined) outdoor equipment/cool-aid an-shade units include battery and transportable-battery methods, rechargeable-battery methods, alternative solar-power technics, and (ac) current technics. The *hinged solar-lid-cover for the fan units enables the user to (positionaly-rotate) the cover-lids towards the direction of sunlight (a powersource), also acting as “a *protective-cover for the fan-units during incliment weather”. A *protective houseing shell-cover benefits the incorporation of the fan-units into certain pet products. ““One of the greatest benefits is that of the cool-aid fan-shade unit(s) is having an ***incredibly versatile, ((combined)) outdoor equipment-products/market*** for: automotive, watercraft, heavyequipment, agribusiness, offroad, cart, utillity, mass-transit, recreational, construction, industrial, lawn & garden, patio & yard, beach, sports, baby & infant, canopy, umbrella, tent, awning, tarp, bimini, cycle, pet, human, animal, vehicular and consumers etc.””.

A prefered embodiment/process, would include having outdoor equipment-structures and canopy-covershades (some of which mentioned above) ((combined)) with cool-aid fan-shade units too produce innovative products. The fan-units are made of light weight material, having a lightweight motorized unit like that of electronic instruments, products, and toys, controlled by use of a switch or knob, having a protective safety guard, and having a hinged solar-lid protection-cover for the fan units made from lightweight (flexible or hard) materials, composites, fabrics or plastics. The cool-aid fan-units are attached-to or fitted-into the canopy-cover(s), base-unit(s) and or structure(s) of outdoor equipment & products. In further detail, giving the user the capability too colapse the canopy-cov ver with the £entire fan-unit£ still entact. Futhermore, giving the user the means of attaching and detaching the fan-units from its outdoor equipment too (optionally) become fitted into or affixed-onto various other outdoor equipment canopy-covers or structures (transportably). One or several methods (mentioned above) supplies sources of power to the the fan-units motor for enpowerment. Having the fan-units be flat-panled in design means lightweight capabillity. Having the fan-units be fan entire unite means easy transport & repair. Having the fan-units come in many sizes means cost-savings when it comes to purchasing, and providing an option for one or several fan-units providing additional cooling technics. Having the fan-units produced with use of low-cost preferbly plastic or composite materials means lightweight profficiency thats less costly too produce. This is affordable, profficient, low-cost, transportable, productive cooling-relief and comfort for humans, animals, pets & objects.
