The present disclosure generally relates to a textile (100) and a manufacturing method (200) thereof. The textile (100) comprises: a fabric body (102) formed from one or more types of yarns; a continuous channel (104) formed within the fabric body (102); and an insulated conductive element (106) disposed within the continuous channel (104), wherein the textile (100) is heatable in response to electrical current being conducted through the insulated conductive element (106).

Disclosed is a magnetic connector comprising a body having a mounting cavity, the body comprising a PCB received in the mounting cavity, a first conductive terminal soldered to one side of the PCB and extending toward an opening of the mounting cavity, a first magnet disposed along the periphery of the PCB and on the same side as the first conductive terminal. The body further has a first anti-off device which is formed with an insulating bushing enclosing the first conductive terminal or the first magnet. The magnetic connector provided by the present invention has advantages that the connection is more stable and more durable, that the service life is longer, and that a certain degree of solid connection can be maintained even if a part of the anti-off device has failed, which is of a good fault tolerance.

Disclosed is a system for regulating body temperature of a subject. The system includes: one or more sensors for monitoring environmental and/or physiological parameters; a multi-layered garment having a plurality of thermoelectric elements distributed throughout the multi-layered garment; a controller for receiving input from the one or more sensors and connected to the plurality of thermoelectric elements to systemically control the thermoelectric elements based on the environmental and/physiological parameters; and a battery for providing power to the one or more sensors, the thermoelectric elements, the controller or a combination of any of these. The system can improve worker safety and comfort in an energy efficient manner.

The present disclosure is directed at a hand warmer incorporated within a pocket of an article of clothing, the hand warmer comprising at least one heating element secured to the pocket, the heating element formed in a handlebar-shape and adapted to be grasped by a hand when inserted into the pocket, wherein the handlebar-shaped heating element comprises a heating wire encased in a thin, flexible heating pad, and is flexible in its entirety.

Methods and systems for heating of heated clothing are provided. An example system may include system comprising one or more heating components placed within one or more zones of the heated clothing and configured to receive electrical current from one or more voltage converters independently. The system may also include a battery configured to provide power to the voltage converters. The system may also include a controller configured to control an output voltage of the one or more voltage converters, wherein the output voltage is provided to the one or more heating components. The controller may be configured to receive temperatures from the temperature sensors located in heating components, an ambient temperature from the ambient temperature sensor, and user-defined temperatures. The controller may adjust the output voltage based on the temperatures received from the temperature sensors and adjust ambient temperature and user-defined temperatures.

Footwear, in particular a sock, includes a leg, with an upper end for receiving a lower leg, a foot part arranged on the leg and having an upper and a lower for receiving a foot, and a toe flap arranged at the foot part, for receiving the toes. The footwear includes at least one heating element with connections for a voltage source, the heating element being provided in the area of the foot part on the upper of the foot part.

The present invention relates to heatable garments (1), comprising a garment body (3) and a heating pad (5) adhered to at least a portion of the garment body (3), wherein the heating pad (5) comprises graphene particles dispersed in a polymer matrix material. The invention also provides fabrics for making such garments, and methods of making such garments and fabrics. Also provided are heatable bedding incorporating a heating pad as described above.

A garment that heats a portion of a human body during warm-up prior to athletic endeavor having a heater pad member with a size between the size of a common index card and an ordinary sheet of paper for localized penetrating heating of tissue and muscles. Heating is achieved by electrical heating of a heater pad member having a reflective metal foil on one side of the heater pad and thermally conductive PVF sheets on the opposite side. On the one hand, the metal foil reflects optical radiation toward a human body, while on the other hand, the PVF sheets direct infrared radiation into the human body. Control electronics and the heater pad are contained in separate pockets of the garment that are electrically connected together.

To provide a warming tool capable of more effectively keeping a human body warm for a long period of time during an emergency such as a disaster or rescue situation.

Provided is a warming tool (1) comprising a front face part (3) and a back face part (4) formed from a flexible fabric. The front face part (3) and the back face part (4) comprise upper end parts (3t, 4t), both side end parts (3s, 4s), and lower end parts (3b, 4b) in peripheral edge sections thereof, the upper end parts (3t, 4t) and the both side end parts (3s, 4s) being connected respectively, whereby the warming tool (1) has a bag shape that opens on the side of the lower end parts (3b, 4b). The upper end parts (3t, 4t) comprise a neck part (1A) formed in a center section thereof to a size that allows a head of a human body to pass therethrough, the both side end parts (3s, 4s) comprise arm parts (1B) formed on an upper part side thereof so that arms of the human body can pass therethrough, and the front face part (3) further comprises a plurality of pockets (6A to 6H) on a surface thereof for holding heating elements (100) that emit heat when brought into contact with air.

A heating panel structure for heated wearables is constructed with a power leads connection section and a breathable heating wire section. The power leads connection section contains at least electrically shielded power leads connections to heating wires disposed in a pattern in the breathable heating wire section. The power leads connection section is formed of selected fabrics interconnected together to form an air-tight non-breathable fireproof and waterproof impermeable enclosure for the power leads connections. The breathable heating wire section is formed with a lamination of breathable fabric sheets, between which a pattern of the heating wire is secured, and which provides moisture wicking and shedding for the comfort of a wearer person.
