19th-Century Rocking Chair Fan Patent - Mechanical Innovation for Passive Cooling #3030226 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed patent illustration shows a wooden rocking chair fitted with a mechanical linkage system that drives a fan mounted above the user’s head. As the occupant rocks, a flexible rod transfers kinetic energy to a pulley and belt assembly, rotating the fan blades (labeled 8-10) to provide airflow. The design reflects late-Victorian era innovation in domestic comfort and passive climate control.
