Benefits of technology
The present invention is a personal climate control system for heating and cooling the body of a user. It consists of a heat exchanger assembly and a fabric panel that can be worn like a robe. The heat exchanger is positioned within the length of a tubing assembly to the fabric panel, and the interior of the fabric panel has a tortuous path of internal tubing with a pair of inlets for connection to the heat exchanger. The system uses forced air, and the fabric panel can also have a plurality of openings to allow for the passage of air. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a personal climate control system that can maintain the user's body at a comfortable temperature.
Problems solved by technology
These variations in body temperature can cause comfort issues for many people, especially in circumstances where there are multiple people in the same location making it impossible to adjust the temperature to accommodate everyone.
This results in some of the people feeling hot while others in the same room or area may feel cold or uncomfortable.
Air conditioning and heating systems have failed to address the needs of one or a few persons in a crowd as the temperature cannot be readily changed to comfort the few without affecting the others.
Electric blankets are cumbersome and fail to provide cooling as well as heating.
While cooling blankets absorb heat for dissipation to the surrounding air, they fail to provide heat.

The invention involves a personal climate control system for heating and cooling the body of a user, and method for providing personal comfort in the form of body heating or cooling to a user of the device. The personal climate control system includes a heat exchanger assembly and a robe assembly coupled together with a tubing assembly. A heat exchanger assembly is utilized to provide conditioned air under pressure to a tortuous path of internal tubing embedded within a piece of clothing worn by the user.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Application Ser. No. 61 / 894,329 filed on Jul. 26, 2013 and which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to personal comfort devices, and more particularly to a fabric panel such as a blanket or clothing having a forced air climate control system.BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0003]Normal human body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, depends upon the place in the body at which the measurement is made, the time of day and level of activity of the person. Under perfect conditions, this is typically 37.0° C. (98.6° F.). Variations in body temperature are part of the circadian rhythm. In healthy adults, body temperature fluctuates about 0.5° C. (0.9° F.) throughout the day, with lower temperatures in the morning and higher temperatures in the late afternoon and evening, as the body's needs and activities change. The time of day and other circumstan...
