Abstract

A human extremity warming apparatus includes a first strap and a second strap with a housing positioned thereinbetween. The warming apparatus includes a warming device. The warming device has an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface may have a first sheet of material. The first sheet of material may include a heat-transferring material that provides heat to a user at a first temperature. The lower surface may have a second sheet of material that includes a protective layer that transfers heat to the skin at a second temperature. The upper surface and lower surface may be color coded or have other indicia to assist a user in determining the type of heating surface. The apparatus may be adjusted to fit on the wrists or legs of a user.

Claims (40)

1 . A human extremity warming apparatus comprising:

a first strap comprising:

a first end;

a second end;

a first fastener comprising hook and loop and extending from a first top edge to a first bottom edge;

a second strap comprising;

a third end;

a fourth end;

a second fastener comprising hook and loop and extending from a second top edge to a second bottom edge;

a housing interposed between the first strap and the second strap, the first end of the first strap is coupled to a first side of the housing, and the third end of the second strap is coupled to a second side of the housing opposite the first side; wherein the housing extends from an upper edge to a lower edge of the human extremity warming apparatus, extending the entirety of the height of the human extremity warming apparatus;

a first layer and a second layer;

wherein the housing comprises a stretchable material and is positioned so as to rest upon the underside of the wrist of a user;

wherein the housing comprises an opening at the upper edge of the human extremity warming apparatus;

wherein the housing comprises a first housing fastener positioned proximate the opening and a second housing fastener proximate the opening, the first and second fasteners are removably attachable to each other:

wherein the first top edge, the second top edge, and the upper edge are on the same plane, and the first bottom edge, the second bottom edge, and the lower edge are on the same plane.

2 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a warming device that is secured in the housing, the warming device comprises an upper surface and a lower surface.

3 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the upper surface comprises a first sheet of material, and the lower surface comprises a second sheet material.

4 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises an insulative material on a first side of the apparatus.

5 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the insulative material comprises flannel.

6 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises a heat-transferring material on a second side of the apparatus.

7 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the heat-transferring material comprises polyester.

8 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the opening receives a warming device.

9 . The human extremity warming apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first housing fastener and the second housing fastener comprise hook and loop.

10 . A human extremity warming apparatus comprising:

a first layer comprising an insulative material;

a second layer comprising a heat-transferring material;

a first strap comprising;

a first end;

a second end;

a first fastener comprising hook and loop and extending from a first top edge to a first bottom edge;

a second strap comprising;

a third end;

a fourth end;

a second fastener comprising hook and loop and extending from a second top edge to a second bottom edge;

a housing comprising a stretchable material coupled to and interposed between the first strap and the second strap, the housing comprising an opening at an upper edge of the human extremity warming apparatus, the housing comprising a first housing fastener positioned on the first layer in the opening and a second housing fastener positioned on the second layer in the opening; wherein the housing extends from an upper edge to a lower edge of the human extremity warming apparatus, extending the entirety of the height of the human extremity warming apparatus;

a warming device comprising an upper heating surface and a lower heating surface, wherein the upper and lower heating surfaces are color coded to assist a user in determining the type of heating surface;

wherein the housing receives the warming device through the opening and is secured therein via the first housing fastener and the second housing fastener;

wherein the housing is positioned so as to rest upon the underside of the wrist of the user;

wherein the first and second housing fasteners comprise hook and loop:

wherein the first top edge, the second top edge, and the upper edge are on the same plane, and the first bottom edge, the second bottom edge, and the lower edge are on the same plane.
