A bomb disposal suit includes a jacket, trousers, and a back protector connected between the jacket and the trousers. The back protector includes a body of impact resistant material having a plenum with an intake opening to receive forced air and with outlet openings to direct forced air out of the plenum. A fan forces air into the intake opening. The back protector can transmit load vertically from the jacket to the trousers, for example, via a back plate.

A thermoelectric device including a panel, formed of a thermally insulating material, and having a plurality of thermoelectric elements including compacted conductors inside the insulating material and expanded conductors outside the insulating material wherein the thermoelectric elements run substantially parallel to or at an acute angle relative to the long dimension of the panel. The thermoelectric device may be integrated into a variety of surfaces or enclosures needing heating or cooling with controls and configurations to optimize the application.

A combination air filter and protective gown includes a protective gown; at least one tube; at least one air filter; a waist belt; check valves disposed at a face, two hands, and two ankles of the protective gown respectively; and ties for fastening the face, the hands, and the ankles of the protective gown respectively. One end of each tube is terminated inside the protective gown and the other end thereof is attached to the air filter. Each air filter is attached to the waist belt. Each air filter includes a centrifugal fan, a circuit board, a UV lamp, a filter element formed of activated carbon, a power supply, a housing for enclosing the centrifugal fan, the circuit board, the UV lamp, the filter element, and the power supply, and a cover threadedly secured to the housing.

There is also provided a self-sustainable body-cooling garment for cooling a body portion of a human or an animal adapted to use the air pumping footwear and a cooling system for cooling the human or animal's body. There is provided a footwear comprising an air pump adapted to pump air when worn by a human or an animal during a pedestrian movement and to store or direct the pumped air for use by a cooling system for cooling the pumped air and using the cooled air for cooling the human or the animal. There is also provided a cooling system comprising an air pump adapted to be embedded within a footwear and a nozzle adapted to cool air pumped using the footwear when worn by a human or animal during a pedestrian movement.

A headgear for protecting a user from head injury includes a helmet and a cooling unit. The cooling unit is designed to be attachable to, and detachable from, the helmet by the user during normal use of the headgear. In an embodiment, the cooling unit includes one or more inlets, a fan for drawing in air into the cooling unit via the one or more inlets, a pad to hold moisture to cool the air drawn into the cooling unit to generate cooled air, and an air outlet to direct the cooled air into said helmet.

An air circulator which is attached to a sheet member and which is for generating an air flow from one side of the sheet member to another side of the sheet member includes a fan main body and a ring member for attaching the fan main body to the sheet member. The fan main body includes a hollow cylinder unit, a flange formed on the cylinder unit, a motor fixing unit, a motor fixated to the motor fixing unit, a wing attached to a rotating shaft of the motor and first engaging units formed on outer surfaces of first parts of the cylinder unit, the first parts forming a pair and facing each other. The ring member includes second engaging units which are formed on inner surfaces of second parts that form a pair, the second parts facing each other, and which engage with the first engaging units.

A breathable garment for heating or cooling independently the body of a wearer. The breathable garment includes an inner electrically heatable substrate intended to be facing the body of the wearer in use; a forced air supply mechanism for supplying forced air into the space between the inner electrically heatable substrate and the body of the wearer; an intermediate perforated substrate; an outer waterproof, water-vapour-permeable substrate; and a mechanism for maintaining a gap between the intermediate perforated substrate and the outer substrate, making up an air chamber to allow turbulent airflow across the entire garment.

Provided is a functional underwear support for men having active exercises such as running, marathon, and cycling in which the penis and the scrotum are separately accommodated independently of each other with high air permeability, the functional underwear support including a scrotum pocket which is formed with a functional fabric such as a mesh, a coolon, or a coolmax having a high air permeability, to entirely supporting the scrotum, a penis support cover which is formed by sewing a stretchable, soft spandex fabric fixedly supporting the penis so as not to to be shaken to the both left and right ends of the scrotum pocket outer side, and a rechargeable motor fan unit which is provided to one side of the scrotum pocket to remove moisture or facilitate ventilation of the scrotum and the groin.

A protective garment worn be a beekeeper providing positive air flow into the suit and protection from bee stings during wear, the garment provided in full or partial body suit, the positive air flow provided by one or more self-contained power supplies drawing outside air into the garment to cool the wearer and elevating the garment away from the skin at a distance greater than the length of a stinger from a bee, the garment also made from a penetration resistant fabric.

A bomb disposal suit includes a jacket, trousers, and a back protector connected between the jacket and the trousers. The back protector includes a body of impact resistant material having a plenum with an intake opening to receive forced air and with outlet openings to direct forced air out of the plenum. A fan forces air into the intake opening. The back protector can transmit load vertically from the jacket to the trousers, for example, via a back plate.
