Abstract

A sheet having a fan-mounting part for mounting a fan is provided. The fan includes a fan body including a cylinder part and a protrusion which is disposed on the cylinder part protruding in a direction substantially perpendicular to a side face of the cylinder part and an engaging member which is fitted on an outer side of the cylinder part and is thus attached to the fan body so as to be opposite the protrusion. The sheet having the fan-mounting part includes a sheet member and a non-stretchable flat ring-shaped reinforcing section. The sheet member has an open hole for receiving the cylinder part of the fan. The reinforcing section has an opening with substantially the same shape as an outer edge of the cylinder part of the fan.

Claims (11)

1. A sheet having a fan-mounting part for mounting a fan, the fan comprising (i) a fan body comprising a cylinder part and a protrusion which is disposed on the cylinder part protruding in a direction substantially perpendicular to a side face of the cylinder part and (ii) an engaging member which is fitted on an outer side of the cylinder part and is thus attached to the fan body so as to be opposite the protrusion, and the sheet comprising:

a sheet member having an open hole for receiving the cylinder part of the fan; and

a non-stretchable flat ring-shaped reinforcing section which has an opening formed therethrough, the opening having substantially a same shape as an outer edge of the cylinder part of the fan, one of a front face and a back face of the reinforcing section being sewn to the sheet member on an edge part around the open hole of the sheet member, and an inner side face of the opening being exposed,

wherein a fray stopper is applied to the edge part around the open hole of the sheet member,

wherein the fan is mounted by inserting the cylinder part into the opening of the reinforcing section and attaching the engaging member to the fan body and thereby tucking at least an inner edge part of the reinforcing section, from among the inner edge part of the reinforcing section and the edge part around the open hole of the sheet member, between the protrusion and the engaging member, whereby the inner side face of the opening opposes the side face of the cylinder part, and

wherein the reinforcing section is sewn on the edge part around the open hole of the sheet member in double lines respectively at a part near an inner edge of the reinforcing section and a part near an outer edge of the reinforcing section.

2. The sheet having the fan-mounting part according to claim 1 , wherein when the fan is mounted, the back face of the reinforcing section is in direct contact with the engaging member or the protrusion.

3. The sheet having the fan-mounting part according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing section is made of a washable material selected from plastic, resin-impregnated fabric, artificial leather and non-stretchable rubber.

4. The sheet having the fan-mounting part according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet member is made of woven fabric.

5. The sheet having the fan-mounting part according to claim 1 , wherein the open hole has substantially a same size as the opening of the reinforcing section, and the whole front face of the reinforcing section is in contact with the edge part around the open hole of the sheet member.

6. The sheet having the fan-mounting part according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing section is opaque.
