table fan

Portable cooling device

A table fan is a small portable electric fan designed to sit on a desk, table, or other flat surface.

Unlike ceiling fans or floor-standing pedestal fans, table fans are compact enough to position at arm's reach for personal cooling: She kept a table fan running on her desk all summer.
