Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a fruit or vegetable shaped fan for dispersing airborne eye irritants that are released during cutting fruits or vegetables. The fan includes a base that is wedge-shaped, an air inflow collimator that is fruit or vegetable shaped having an open front end, an internal frame that is configured to provide minimal abatement to airflow through the air inflow collimator, a motor mount that secures a motor, a fan blade that attaches to the motor, and a grill that attaches to the open front end of the air inflow collimator. The fan is configured to disperse airborne eye irritants away from a user's eyes. Airborne eye irritants are released when certain fruits and vegetables are chopped or otherwise cut. Such fruits and vegetables that can release airborne eye irritants when cut include onions, peppers, and certain other fruits and vegetables.
