Personal fan devices that are configured to transition between an open configuration for use and a closed configuration for storage or transport. A fan device includes noisemaking structure(s), such as a rattle and/or a clapper, disposed with the fan device. As the fan device is moved, the handle generates noise as a result of the noisemaking structure(s). A plurality of fan devices may be used to generate high-decibel noises at an event, such as a sporting event or a performance.

The expandable hand-held fan having noise making means integrated thereon comprises a fan that when folded shut resembles a miniature baseball bat. Upon extending the fan, advertising indicia is printed thereon, and may be associated with sports team, logo, etc. The fan includes noise making means upon the fan, and produces noise upon movement of air across the noise making member.

A yoga bag is disclosed. An example embodiment includes a yoga bag comprising: a fabric-covered rigid housing having a top panel and a bottom panel connected by two front panels and two rear panels, the combination of the top and bottom panels with the front and rear panels forming a generally rectangular housing with a hollow interior region; a yoga mat holder element attached to the top panel, the yoga mat holder element including at least one attachable strap to retain a rolled-up yoga mat; an accessory receptacle configured as a pocket, a loop, a hole, or an attachment mechanism to retain any of a variety of yoga accessories; and a towel storage area configured as an open area or void in the hollow interior region and positioned in the middle of the housing between the two front panels and the two rear panels.

A handheld placard includes a body made of a rigid paper material. The body includes a front surface, a rear surface, a bottom edge, side edges, a top edge, and an inner edge defining a handle opening through the body. A handle flap extends downward from the bottom edge of the body and is connected to the bottom edge at a first fold line. The handle flap includes an upper portion joined to a lower portion by a second fold line.

A blade configuration for efficiently moving a fluid using a waving action. The blade configuration uses a flexible panel. A pocket depression is formed in the flexible panel. The pocket depression is closer to a rear edge than to a front edge. Consequently, the flexible panel has a first average slope from its front edge to the pocket depression and a second average slope from its rear edge to the pocket depression. The second average slope is greater than the first average slope. Due to the shape of the pocket depression and attachment to the framework, waving movement of the blade through the fluid causes vortices to be generated and shed in a manner causing the fluid which interacts with the flexible panel to flow mostly in the direction of the front edge of the flexible panel. This directs much of the displaced fluid out the front edge.
