ARTICLE OF WARMTH WITH INTEGRATED AND CONCEALED BATTERY RETENTION POCKET
20230284712 · 2023-09-14 · ·

An electrically heated article of warmth adapted to generate heat to a user person’s body. The article of warmth has at least one integrally formed pocket to support and conceal one or more batteries at desired locations and orientations therein for the comfort of the user person. The pocket is formed between opposed fabric materials to define a hollow concealed pocket space. An opening is formed in one of the opposed fabric materials for access to the hollow concealed pocket space. The opposed fabric materials have an inner surface facing one another in the hollow concealed pocket space. The inner surfaces have sticky materials which when the inner surfaces are placed against one another they exhibit a binding retention force. The one or more batteries are retained at the desired locations and orientations by the retention force of the of the inner surface of the opposed fabric materials being placed in contact with one another. In one embodiment, only one of the inners surfaces has a sticky material and the batteries are provided with a further sticky material to bind to the inner surface.

Body cooling scarf

A body cooling scarf includes a flexible tube having a tube side wall and a tube open end and a tube closed end, defining within the flexible tube an elongate tube internal chamber; a flexible, chamber partition extending longitudinally within and dividing the tube internal chamber into a longitudinal first cooling unit pocket and a second cooling unit pocket, each having a pocket interior with a pocket interior width, breadth and length; and a series of cooling units which are sized in width and breadth to substantially match the width and breadth of each cooling unit pocket interior, and sized in length so that a series of between six and fourteen cooling units are required to completely fill a given pocket, for substantial cooling scarf flexibility.

Knitted electrochemical capacitors and heated fabrics
11751611 · 2023-09-12 · ·

A garment includes a supercapacitor and/or heated fabrics including a first conductive yarn knitted to as to form a current collector and a second conductive yarn knitted to as to form an electrode that is in electrical contact with the current collector. The conductive yarns are knitted into a predetermined supercapacitor design having respective electrodes that are not in electrical contact with each other. An electrolyte saturates at least the electrode material either before or after knitting, and an ionically permeable electronic separator allows the electrodes to be in close proximity to each other without being in electrical contact with each other. A heating element may also be formed by knitting at least one of the first and second conductive yarns into a linear resistor or by knitting an insulated conductive yarn into a sheet of fabric. Such a heating element is connected to the supercapacitor via a switch.

Evaporative cooling garment

An evaporative cooling garment includes a first layer and a second layer superimposed over the first layer. The first layer is configured to absorb a quantity of water, and the second layer includes a reflective material and defines openings. The first layer is visible from an exterior of the garment through the openings in the second layer, and the garment defines a collapsible gap between an inner surface of the second layer and an outer surface of the first layer.

Electrically heated garment with pass-through battery pocket

A heated article of clothing including a garment body, a heater coupled to the garment body, a heater supply cable configured to provide electrical power to the heater, and a battery pack configured to power to the heater by way of the heater supply cable. The garment body includes a first compartment configured to hold the battery pack, a second compartment configured to alternatively hold the battery pack, and a pass-through connecting the first compartment to the second compartment internally within the garment body such that the battery pack is movable between the first and second compartments while remaining coupled with the heater supply cable.

COOLING VEST SYSTEM
20230276869 · 2023-09-07 ·

A cooling vest system is disclosed. The system provides an effective cooling for stabilizing a wearer/individual's body temperature. The system comprises a water tube wrapped around the vest connected to the top of a water block. A water pump is connected to any one end of the water tube to pump the water via the water tube. The system further includes a radiator with a fan for removing excess heat and a heat sink attached below the radiator. The heat sink is fastened to a metal plate using fasteners. The metal plate spreads the cooling to the vest's surface. Also, an electronic circuit and a plurality of batteries are present to power the system. A Peltier cooling chip is mounted to the system to cool the body directly on the solar plexus area of the wearer's chest. Further, the system includes a regulator for monitoring the temperature and water pressure.

Apparatus and method for powering a garment

A lawn mower has an electrical port that receives current from an alternator powered by the lawn mower engine. The current and voltage sent the electrical port depend on a flywheel and stator arrangement operatively connected to the alternator. The stator may be replaceable or interchangeable to selectively determine the alternator current and voltage output. The port receives a plug from a garment worn by the lawn mower operator. The garment includes one or more thermo-electric elements that are powered from current extending through the port. The thermo-electric elements may be resistive heaters to warm the operator or TEC coolers to cool the operator. Furthermore, the garment may include a rechargeable battery that powers the thermo-electric elements when the plug is disconnected from the port.
