A method for forming windings of a stator assembly in a blower includes providing a stationary portion for the blower including a tube adapted to support a rotor and using the tube as a mandrel to form the windings of the stator assembly.

A housing of a fan motor according to the invention includes: board members provided at an interval in a rotational axis direction of a fan; a coupling portion which couples the board members to each other; a protrusion portion which is protruded toward a space other than an air course from the coupling portion, the space being between the board members other than the air courses; and a fixing portion which fixes a terminal that is provided in the protrusion portion and is connected to a wiring from a power source that supplies electricity to a motor. Other member, which crosses in an extending direction of the terminal from the protrusion portion to an edge portion of the board member, is not provided.

An electric component mounting unit for an air-conditioned garment, which is used in combination with a garment body having a fan opening and which is mounted on a body, includes a fan which takes air from outside into the garment body, a mounter which mounts the fan on the body, and a fan attacher which attaches the fan to the mounter. The fan includes a fan-side linker which links the fan with the fan opening.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides an apparatus for protecting an occupant in a stroller from harmful environmental factors including UV and air pollutants. The apparatus can include an interchangeable cover configured to substantially enclose the occupant and cover at least a portion of the stroller to form an enclosure. The interchangeable cover can include a flexible plastic film that protects the occupant from UV radiation. The interchangeable cover can have an inlet, a fan connected to the inlet to draw ambient air into the enclosure, and a filter unit configured to filter the ambient air. The fan is further configured to blow the filtered ambient air along an interior surface of the enclosure and to maintain a positive air pressure within the enclosure.

A package air conditioning unit includes a housing, a condenser portion including a condenser located in the housing and an evaporator portion located in the housing. The evaporator portion includes an evaporator in fluid communication with the condenser and a vane-axial flow fan rotatable about a fan axis to power airflow from a conditioned space, across the evaporator and back toward the conditioned space.

A fan assembly includes a shrouded fan rotor (18) having a plurality of fan blades (22) extending from a rotor hub (24) and rotatable about a central axis (20) of the fan assembly and a fan shroud (26) extending circumferentially around the fan rotor (18) and secured to an outer tip diameter of the plurality of fan blades (22). A stator assembly (28) is located downstream of the fan rotor (18), relative to an airflow (14) direction through the fan assembly. The stator assembly (28) includes a plurality of stator vanes (30) extending between a stator hub (32) and a stator shroud (34). A flow control ring (36) is positioned between the fan rotor (18) and the stator assembly (28) to block radial flow migration in an axial spacing between the fan rotor and the stator assembly resulting from a radial flow component of an airflow (14) exiting the fan rotor (18).

A fan assembly (10) includes a shrouded fan rotor (18) having a plurality of fan blades (22) extending from a rotor hub (24) and rotatable about a central axis (20) of the fan assembly, and a fan shroud (26) extending circumferentially around the fan rotor (18) and secured to an outer tip diameter of the plurality of fan blades (22). A fan casing (16) encloses the shrouded fan rotor (18). The fan casing (16) defines a fan inlet (30) of the fan assembly and includes an inlet extension (54) at an outer diameter of the fan casing, extending axially upstream of a conventional bell mouth inlet (58), relative to a direction of airflow through the shrouded fan rotor (18).

An automatic inflator device includes a housing that houses various operational components of the automatic inflator device such as a power source that is electrically coupled to a pump. A coupling portion attached to the housing selectively secures the automatic inflator device to an inflatable object, such as an inflatable watercraft, where the automatic inflator device may remain secured even while the inflatable object remains fully operational, such as while the inflatable object is in use. The pump may be selectively energized to pump air into the inflatable object via a fluid conduit. For example, the pump may be energized or de-energized based on user input or automatically based on a measured pressure of the inflatable object. Optionally, the automatic inflator device may be incorporated into an inlet valve of the inflatable object as the inflatable object is originally manufactured.
