Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A propeller fan includes a boss on a rotation axis, and a blade at an outer circumferential portion of the boss. The blade includes a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade includes a first area, a first sub-area located inward of the first area, and a second sub-area located outward of the first area. The first area includes a notch formed in the trailing edge. Each of the first sub-area and the second sub-area include plural notches formed in the trailing edge. The notch in the first area is larger than each of the plural notches in each of the first sub-area and the second sub-area.

1 - 4 . (canceled) 5 . A propeller fan comprising: a boss provided on a rotation axis; and a blade provided at an outer circumferential portion of the boss, the blade including a leading edge and a trailing edge, the blade including a first area, a first sub-area located inward of the first area and a second sub-area located outward of the first area, the first area including a notch formed in the trailing edge, each of the first sub-area and the second sub-area including plural notches formed in the trailing edge, the notch in the first area being larger than each of the plural notches in each of the first sub-area and the second sub-area. 6 . The propeller fan of claim 5 , wherein the notch in the first area has a width which is greater than a width of each of the plural notches in each of the first sub-area and the second sub-area. 7 . The propeller fan of claim 5 , wherein the notch in the first area has a depth which is greater than a depth of each of the plural notches in each of the first sub-area and the second sub-area. 8 . The propeller fan of claim 5 , wherein a sum of a width of the first sub-area in a radial direction of the propeller fan and a width of the second sub-area in the radial direction is greater than or equal to a width of the first area in the radial direction. 9 . The propeller fan of claim 5 , wherein the first area is located outward of an intermediate portion of the blade in a radial direction of the propeller fan. 10 . The propeller fan of claim 5 , wherein the notch in the first area, the plural notches in the first sub-area and the plural notches in the second sub-area are continuously formed along the trailing edge. 11 . An air-conditioning apparatus comprising the propeller fan of claim 5 . 12 . A ventilator comprising the propeller fan of claim 5 .
