Abstract

A conduit for delivering warm air to the body with a multiplicity of warm air delivery holes arrayed along extensive tubing down extending over the arms and legs of the wearer. The warm air is derived from the user's expired air as one exhales into a coupler that fits the mouth of a human or coupled to an over the nose and mouth facemask. The exhaled air travels through the mouthpiece or mask and into the tubing to be delivered to the extremities through air dispersion holes arrayed along and around the tubing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to thermal heating devices for outdoor wear. The warm air delivery system of the present invention provides a warmed air thermal protective layer between the exterior weather protection garments and the street clothes of the user, which insulates the human from the exterior weather and maintains a heated thermal barrier. The invention uses a multiplicity of air delivery holes along a network of tubing with an inlet to the tubing delivery system forming a coupler to fit the mouth of a human, or an over the nose and mouth face mask, to achieve its goal.

[0002] Hunters, construction workers, motorcycle riders, snowmobilers, and other outdoor enthusiasts often are exposed to cold weather for prolonged periods of time. Ideally the user would be someone who is outside in temperatures of 20° F. or below for an extended period of time. A self-heating source must be readily available and must be easily and quickly slipped on to avoid losi...
