AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a simple way to keep a mobile device warm in extreme cold by using a stretchable device made of elastomeric or polymeric material that is held against the mobile device. The device can also be worn around the neck or used with an air activated exothermic device. The stretchable jacket allows for easy positioning of the device and provides a source of ambient air. Additionally, the jacket has a camera lens aperture that allows for taking pictures without removing the mobile device jacket.

Problems solved by technology

It is well known that batteries, regardless of size, have operational issues in cold weather, which can create problems extending from the inconvenient, when wanting to take photos of winter activities and the mobile device dies to the catastrophic when caught in a life threatening winter weather event and the mobile device dies.

Embodiment Construction

[0052]The following discussion describes in detail one embodiment of the invention (and several variations of that embodiment). This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to those particular embodiments, practitioners skilled in the art will recognize numerous other embodiments as well. For definition of the complete scope of the invention, the reader is directed to appended claims.

[0053]Referring to FIG. 1, shown is an illustrative view of prior art. All major cell phone manufacturers caution users about using the phones in cold temperatures and offer operational temperature guide lines. Many cell phones suffer issues at 23 degree Fahrenheit and become inoperative at 14 degrees Fahrenheit. The present invention over comes this problem by providing a stretchable jacket for mobile devices serving as receptacle for placement within of a user provided exothermic device providing heat to keep the user's mobile device operational during extreme cold weath...

Abstract

An insulating cover for a mobile device is disclosed. The cover includes an opening in its back wall to allow ambient air to interact with an exothermic pack to provide sufficient heat to the mobile device such that it will function properly in a cold environment. The opening is preferably provided with a mesh pocket to secure the exothermic pack in proximity to the mobile device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to article casings and, more specifically, to a mobile device heater jacket comprising an elastomeric or polymeric cover serving as receptacle receiving an exothermic device therein that will provide heat to keep the temperature sensitive components operational, including battery, electronics and display screen, which are adversely affected by cold weather to the point of the mobile device shutting down while being used in cold weather.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]There are other phone casings which provide for phone heat retention. While these casings may be suitable for the purposes for which they where designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.[0005]It is thus desirable to provide a selectively mountable and dismountable stretchable jacket for a mobile device serving as receptacle for a heat packet to...
