ABSTRACT:
An exemplary foot-warming system includes a device wherein a support assembly detachably mounts a battery pack on the upper surface of a boot to electrically power a heating element within the boot via an electrical cord that preferably passes through an opening in the boot beneath the mounted battery pack. The support assembly preferably includes a shallow retaining barrier, such as a frame-shaped sheet, for normally confining the battery pack to a predetermined position on the boot and a stretchable outer covering, such as an elastomeric panel, that forms a yieldable pocket within the barrier so that during a strong jolt to the battery pack or boot, the pocket can stretch to allow movement of the battery pack for reducing the level of shock forces transmitted and further can contract, after impact, to return the battery pack to its predetermined position. When the battery pack is removed, preferably the end connector on the cord is passed back through the opening in the boot to a nonexposed position either inside or outside of the boot.
