Benefits of technology

The present invention is a thermal jumper that is convenient and easy to use. It is lightweight yet durable in design, versatile in its applications, and constructed to provide a user with a method of soothing joint and muscle pain throughout the body. The jumper is securely attached to the wearer and includes a plurality of padded elements that correspond to the anatomy of the human body. The padded elements function as conductors of heat and vibration, and can be activated by an on-board controller or by battery power. The thermal jumper is comfortable, easy to wear, and provides a practical solution for outdoor use. It is designed to overcome the shortcomings of existing thermal jumpers, such as being heavy, bulky, and requiring a separate battery pack.

Problems solved by technology

The bulkiness and weight factor alone has given rise to many drawbacks and disadvantages and has generally discouraged the wide use and acceptance of such thermal garments.
First, an appropriate battery package may be heavy and cumbersome.
This functional issue is important since the wearer of the, jumper 1 must transport the electrical supply assembly wherever the jumper 1 is taken.
Secondly, a battery package can be expensive and often the life of the associated batteries is relatively short.
Finally, those batteries that are rechargeable may require a relatively long period for recharging.
The use of thermal garments for outdoor use, either while participating in recreation or at work has been substantial but unsupported to a large extent by suitable electrical power accessory.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]FIG. 1 is a frontal view of a stylized version of the thermal jumper 1 showing predominately the frontal padding elements 13 system including pads of the shoulders 40, 41, biceps 50, 51, lungs 60, 61, inner elbows 48, 49, lower abdomen 68, inner thighs 30, 31, kneecaps 26, 27, ankles 22, 23, and foot insteps 20, 21. Also shown is the wrist-mounted controller 2. The frontal padding elements 13 shown typify the preferred embodiment of the thermal jumper 1. Other embodiments may contain more or fewer of the padding elements 13. Further, the relative size of the frontal padding elements 13 as shown, are for illustrative purposes only, and do not serve to limit or restrict their size or location.

[0016]FIG. 2 is a rear view of a stylized version of the thermal jumper 1 which predominantly shows the rear padding elements 14 system, including neck 64, 65, shoulder tops 40, 41, shoulder blades 42, 43, spinal areas 36, 37, 38, elbows 46, 47, wrists 52, 53, gluteous 34, 35 inner knees 28...

Abstract

The disclosed inventive concept comprises a form-fitting body suit, or thermal juniper for wearing by a person, the jumper further comprising an internalized plurality of separate but integral pads. Each of the pads is secured within a pocket attached to the interior surface of the jumper, the pockets corresponding to the location of specific parts of the human anatomy when the jumper is donned by a wearer. Each pad functions as 1) a conductor of varying ranges of heat and 2) a source of vibration when integral wiring in the pad is activated by electrical current generated by at least one battery or rechargeable battery pack.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION(1) Field of the Invention[0003]This inventive concept relates to thermal heating pad products and, more particularly, to a wearable thermal heat padded suit for providing users with a way to soothe joint and muscle pain throughout the body and further, promote healing of injuries to the body. Prior versions of thermal garments have been normally provided with internal heating elements. An electrical current directed to the heating element will cause the same to heat the garment and the body around which the garment is disposed.[0004]This is particularly important in these times of high energy costs because thermal garments can be worn within a dwelling during winter and the dwelling thermostat can be set at a minimum while the occupants within are warm and comfortable. Thermal garments are a very efficient way of...
