Abstract

A case containing a low power motor and a fan can be attached to a phone. The fan is activated when a call is received or made, or may be operated by a switch button. The air stream from the fan cools the user. The fan may draw power from the phone, or from its own battery. Furthermore, a perfume is emitted when the fan is activated. The scent of the perfume for each phone is unique and corresponds to the phone number, and has as its source a block of synthetic material.

Description

Invention of fan for phone Please speedily register my invention of a fan for a phone in particular mobile phones. The fan also has an air refreshner inside. I have enclosed diagrams of the fan unit one illustration (configuration 1) shows the attached fan to the phone. Configuration 2 show a detachable fan in three different configurations: p1, p2, p3.

Functions are also listed such as fan activation when the phone is called, Independent fan activation as well as vibration and audio activation. Power for the"independent fan"is by separate battery unit attached to the fan. The attached fan configuration, however is powered by the phone circuit.

The perfume unit in both cases (attached and unattached) configuration is made of synthetic material fastened inside the mobile phone. This refreshner pad may be removed and replaced after a period of time. Scent is emitted when the fan blows. The fan IS always within a case. The functions of the fan include cooling the phone user.

Claims

The Claims Fan design for phone and other telecommunication devices.

Broad definition of a phone A phone for my purpose is a hardware device that can channel information both sound data and other kinds of digital data down the phone line. A phone device is capable of receiving and transferring such signals.

My basic claim is to the following facilities offered by the phone: Independent Fan (Especially designed to operate within a phone circuit) Special facilities of the fan element: Cooling facility (Use of air stream to cool the user of the phone purely atmospheric) Air channel (Use of air stream or channel to alert user to incoming and outgoing phone messages and calls) Perfume unit: Use of perfume unit to identify the phone (similar to phone number).

Each synthetic perfume substrate would be made of a unique combination of scent so as to identify the phone number.

A unique set of scent alphabet will be adopted: For example scent 1 : a, scent 2: b, scent 3: c, scent 4: d, scent 5 : e, scent 6: f, scent 7: g, scent 8: h, scent 9: I, scent 10 : J, scent 11 : K, scent 12: L, scent 13: M, scent 14: N, scent 15: 0, scent 16: P, scent 17: Q, scent 18: R, scent 19: S, scent 20: T, scent 21: U, scent 22: V, scent 23: W, scent 24: X, scent 25 : Y, scent 26: Z Scent 27: 0, scent 28: 1, scent 29: 2, scent 30. 3, scent 31: 4, scent 32: 5, scent 33: 6, scent 34: 7, scent 35: 8, scent 36: 9, scent 37: 10, scent 38: 11....

..... scent 128: 100.

Please note that each scent will occupy a block (or portion) of the synthetic material.

Therefore it would be possible to represent the complete list of for example, an eleven digits phone number using the eleven scents equally represented on a synthetic substrate, on eleven separate pieces of blocks forming a whole or subpart substrate piece.

An example of the appropriate visual representation is made according to figure 2 Scent representation.

Each phone has its own perfume unit.

Claim on the unique fashion in which air is blown from the fan.

List of the other claims :

Subclaims which specify the

manner in which data is channeled using the facility of the phone. Only an initial list of facility has been included. Listing claims in a fashion that include a broader 20 years use and development of the invention.
