Combination Vibrational And Thermal Jumper

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.

AI Technical Summary

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.
