ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses an apparatus 10 for providing solar powered air circulation to the face and upper body of the user. A means for mounting photoelectric cells 16 to the apex of the top of a hat 12 is provided which cells 16 are connected by wire 24 to a directionally selective fan 14 which is located under the brim 18 of the hat 12. The fan 14 receives air transmitted through a conduit 20 under the brim of the hat 12 which has its air inlets 22 on the lateral edges of the brim 18 of the hat 12. The fan 14 is also provided with a horizontally movable axle 26 means whereby it is partially rotatable in the horizontal axis to selectively distribute the air. An alternative embodiment 30 is provided wherein the components of the present invention are assembled onto a modular semi-flexible frame 30 which can be attached to an existing favorite cap 12 by means of hook and loop material 36 thereby providing a portable cooling unit which can be easily attached to various hats.
