A portable flame propelling device for deterring an attack by an animal includes a vessel, which has an opening positioned in a top thereof for positioning of a flammable liquid therein. A handle engaged to the vessel and extending from the opening can be grasped in a hand of a user. A nozzle is engaged to the handle and extends therefrom. A pumping unit operationally engaged to and in fluidic communication with the nozzle and the vessel propels the flammable liquid from the vessel through the nozzle. An igniter engaged to the handle proximate to the nozzle ignites the flammable liquid. An actuator engaged to the handle is operationally engaged to the pumping unit and the igniter. The actuator can be engaged by a digit of the hand of the user to selectively actuate the pumping unit and the igniter so that a flame is propelled from the nozzle.

The forced air device for use with an outdoor table is a device that is used to keep flies and insects away from an outdoor table, and also to act as a cooling device. The disclosed device generates a flow of cooled air using dry ice. The forced air device for use with an outdoor table includes a fan module, a CO2 module, a vent module, a control system, a first plurality of locking tabs, and a second plurality of locking tabs. The first plurality of locking tabs attaches the fan module to the CO2 module. The second plurality of locking tabs attaches the CO2 module to the vent module. The control system creates a cooled airflow through the disclosed device from the fan module to the vent module.
