ABSTRACT:
A portable humidifier for insertion into a receptacle for water, including an outer housing which has outlet openings formed therein, a support structure for holding the housing in depending relation within the liquid receptacle, and a driven fan positioned in the housing and arranged to draw moisture-laden air up through the housing and out the outlet passages. An inner housing is slidably received within the outer housing in telescoping relation. A secondary, non-driven fan is positioned within the inner housing for rotation therein and is arranged to disperse water droplets into the airflow created by operation of the driven fan. An air inlet means is arranged to direct air through the inner housing to be propelled with the water droplets upwardly into the outer housing for discharge through the outlet openings. The device is foldable to a compact structure making it convenient to be carried in a suitcase or the like.
