Abstract

A heated portable collapsible chair includes a collapsible frame. The collapsible frame supports a fabric human contact sheet having a chair seat portion and a chair back portion. A flexible heating element is located adjacent to a back surface of the human contact sheet so that heat generated by the heating element passes through the human contact sheet to warm a user. A battery is provided for selectively heating the heating element. The flexible heating element is preferably affixed to a backing sheet wherein the backing sheet is affixed to the back surface of the human contact sheet. The flexible heating element accommodates the flexing of the human contact sheet when the human contact sheet is distorted when collapsing the chair for storage or transport.

Claims (37)

1. A carrying bag blanket combination for use with a collapsible chair comprising:

a shell having an outside, and inside, base edge, a top edge, a first edge and a second edge;

a liner inside of said shell;

an opening defined by said shell and said liner for permitting selective access to a space defined by said inside of said shell;

a fastener affixed to said shell adjacent said opening for selectively sealing or opening said opening of said shell;

wherein said shell is sized to receive a collapsed collapsible chair through said opening when said opening is opened;

an extendable blanket having an attached end and a removable end, said attached end attached to one of said liner and said shell adjacent to said top edge of said shell, said extendable blanket for closely contacting said liner when said extendable blanket is in a stored configuration, thereby ensuring that said space defined by said inside of said shell remains suitable for receiving the collapsible chair;

wherein said extendable blanket may be removed from said space defined by said inside of said shell to an extended position for covering a user when said user has inserted his or her legs and feet into the carrying bag;

a shell attached securing means on said inside of said shell adjacent to said base edge of said shell;

a blanket attached securing means adjacent said removable end of said extendable blanket for mating attachment with said shell attached securing means when said extendable blanket is positioned in a stored configuration;

wherein mating engagement of said shell attached securing means and said blanket attached securing means removably affixes said extendable blanket within said space defined by said inside of said shell.

2. The carrying bag according to claim 1 wherein:

said opening is on a said first edge of said shell.

3. The carrying bag according to claim 1 further comprising:

a flexible heater pad between said shell and said liner;

a power cord in communication with said flexible heater pad at a first end and in communication with one of a chair battery or a shell mounted battery at a second end.

4. The carrying bag according to claim 1 further defining:

a tie cord channel adjacent to said top edge of said shell;

a tie cord received in said tie cord channel.

5. A carrying bag blanket combination for use with a collapsible chair comprising:

a shell having an outside, and inside, base edge, a top edge, a first edge and a second edge;

a liner inside of said shell;

an opening defined by said shell and said liner for permitting selective access to a space defined by said inside of said shell;

a fastener affixed to said shell adjacent said opening for selectively sealing or opening said shell;

wherein said shell is sized to receive a collapsed collapsible chair through said opening when said opening is opened;

an extendable blanket having an attached end and a removable end, said attached end attached to one of said liner and said shell adjacent to said top edge of said shell, said extendable blanket for closely contacting said liner when said extendable blanket is in a stored configuration, thereby ensuring that said space defined by said inside of said shell remains suitable for receiving the collapsible chair;

wherein said extendable blanket may be removed from said space defined by said inside of said shell to an extended position for covering a user when said user has inserted his or her legs and feet into the carrying bag;

a shell attached securing means on said inside of said shell adjacent to said base edge of said shell;

a blanket attached securing means adjacent said removable end of said extendable blanket for mating attachment with said shell attached securing means when said extendable blanket is positioned in a stored configuration;

wherein mating engagement of said shell attached securing means and said blanket attached securing means removably affixes said extendable blanket within said space defined by said shell.

6. The carrying bag according to claim 5 wherein:

said opening is on a said first edge of said shell.

7. The carrying bag according to claim 5 further defining:

a tie cord channel adjacent to said top edge of said shell;
