A main garment body 1, which is formed using a cloth C that is gas-impermeable or is gas-permeable to the extent that the cloth can be inflated by the introduction of air by a fan 2 and which comprises a fan installation hole 13 for installing a fan 2, and an air discharge part 14 for discharging the air introduced by the fan 2, the main garment body having an outer surface space-maintaining means 17, a back body section inner surface space-maintaining means 18, and a front body section inner surface space-maintaining means 19 for maintaining a space between the cloth C and the wearer's body and/or between the cloth C and another garment worn over the main garment body 1. As a result thereof, it is possible to provide a main garment body of an air-conditioning garment and an air-conditioning garment for which the function is not easily reduced even when worn under another garment, etc.

A cooling knee pad includes a housing having a base, a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the base, and an upper end defining an interior volume. A pad is affixed to the upper end of the housing. A power supply is operably connected to a cooling mechanism disposed within the interior volume of the housing. The cooling mechanism may include a Peltier cooling unit including a radiator, an electric fan, a water pump, and at least one buck converter. A pair of adjustable fasteners affixed to the housing is configured to secure the housing to a user such that the pad contacts a knee of the user.

Aspects herein are directed to an apparel thermo-regulatory system that actively heats or cools a wearer. The apparel thermo-regulatory system comprises an apparel item, a dimensionally stable frame comprising at least one aperture that is affixed to an outer-facing surface of the apparel item at a predetermined location, an absorbent material applied to an exposed face of the dimensionally stable frame, and at least one thermoelectric module that is releasably positioned within the aperture of the dimensionally stable frame.

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.

To pump-condition a garment that covers at least a portion of an individual, at least one fluid-circulating vent panel circulates a fluid adjacent the garment in an effort to condition the individual. A pump provides a motive force to circulate the circulating fluid through each vent panel. A circulation layer within the vent panel defines a plurality of channels therethrough. The channels allow the circulating fluid to pass both laterally through an opening in a peripheral edge of the vent panel and directly through a diffusing layer of the vent panel.

A lighting apparatus for use as a surgical headlamp is disclosed. A light emitting diode is positioned in a recess within a frustoconical, thermally-conductive heat sink that has a several circumferential ridges to provide a desired surface area for heat transfer. The diode and the heat sink are provided in a housing that also includes a fan for drawing ambient air into the housing to contact the heat sink and exhausting heated air. A lens is snap-fit into a slide that frictionally engages the interior of the housing, allowing a user to adjust the spacing between the light emitting diode and the lens as desired. Personal cooling apparatuses usable with the lighting apparatus are also described. Auxiliary undergown switches are also described as are personal cooling apparatuses.

Provided is a pleated protective clothing worn by a worker in order to protect a body of a worker from an external environment and maintain a clean work environment, the pleated protective clothing including: a hood portion configured to cover a head of a worker; an upper body portion connected with the hood portion and configured to surround an upper body of the worker; and a hood pleated portion formed in a portion connecting the hood portion and the upper body portion and having elasticity.

A recirculating warm air system configured to connect to an air inflatable product is provided. The system includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber includes a first air inlet and a first valve located at the first air inlet. The second chamber includes a second valve located between the first chamber and the second chamber, an air outlet, and a first hose connected to the air outlet. The second chamber further includes an air blower and a heater located between the air blower and the air outlet. The second chamber includes a second air inlet, a third valve located at the second air inlet, and a second hose connected to the second air inlet. The first hose and the second hose are configured to connect to the air inflatable product. The system further includes a processing unit configured to control elements of the system.

A garment body of a fan-equipped garment includes: an outer cloth in which a fan mount part is formed, the fan mount part being configured to receive a fan; and an inner cloth disposed closer to a wearer than the outer cloth. An air-through part is formed only at a hem part of the garment body, the air-through part connecting a space between the outer cloth and the inner cloth and a space at an inner surface side of the inner cloth.

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.
