ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a glove with incorporated adjustable heater and more particularly pertains to keeping a person's hands warm during cold conditions.
The use of heated garments is known in the prior art. More specifically, heated garments heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of heating the garment are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,764,665 to Orban et al. discloses electrically heated gloves. U.S. Pat. No. 4,950,868 to Moss et al. discloses heated gloves. U.S. Pat. No. 5,187,814 to Gold discloses a glove with attached heater pack. U.S. Pat. No. 5,302,807 to Zhao discloses an electrically heated garment with oscillator control for heating element. U.S. Pat. No. 5,032,705 to Batcheller et al. discloses an electrically heated garment. U.S. Pat. No. Des. 327,963 to Westlake discloses the ornamental design for a glove heater.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a glove with incorporated adjustable heater for keeping a person's hands warm during cold conditions.
In this respect, the glove with incorporated adjustable heater according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of keeping a person's hands warm during cold conditions.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater which can be used for keeping a person's hands warm during cold conditions. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of heated garments now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a glove portion adapted for receiving the person's hand therein. The glove portion is comprised of a padded interior layer and a waterproof outer layer. A flexible heating coil is disposed within the padded interior layer of the glove portion. The flexible heating coil is disposed within an entirety of the padded interior layer. The heating coil includes an adjustment dial disposed within the outer layer of the glove portion. A rechargeable battery is secured to the waterproof outer layer of the glove portion. The battery is in communication with the flexible heating coil. The battery includes a power indicating gauge. A thermometer is secured to the waterproof outer layer of the glove portion. The thermometer monitors an outside temperature. The thermometer is in communication with the rechargeable battery. An adjustable wrist band is secured to the glove portion. The adjustable wrist band serves to secure the glove portion to the person's hand.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater which has all the advantages of the prior art heated garments and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater which is of durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such a glove with incorporated adjustable heater economically available to the buying public.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater for keeping a person's hands warm during cold conditions.
Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved glove with incorporated adjustable heater including a glove portion adapted for receiving the person's hand therein. The glove portion is comprised of a padded interior layer and a waterproof outer layer. A flexible heating coil is disposed within the padded interior layer of the glove portion. The flexible heating coil is disposed within an entirety of the padded interior layer. The heating coil includes an adjustment dial disposed within the outer layer of the glove portion. A rechargeable battery is secured to the waterproof outer layer of the glove portion. The battery is in communication with the flexible heating coil. The battery includes a power indicating gauge.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
