Grip warmers

Abstract

1. Grip warmers 2.1. Known solutions for actively warming hands on handles require holding separate hand warmers or wearing heated gloves. The invention, the handle warmer, enables active and even warming of the hands directly at the handle, without the need to permanently fix separate aids to the hand. 2.2. To enable the invention to be attached to a handle, a specially shaped hand warmer is provided with a closure mechanism (for example, Velcro) [Q]. Spot welds [R] are also made to distribute the liquid inside evenly, thus ensuring a uniform heating effect and easy attachment. 2.3. The hand warmer can be used for winter walks with the stroller to actively warm the hands.

Description

The state of the art known to the applicant

[0001] The grip warmer is based on the principle of the hand warmer. "Grip warmer" is the generic term here. Hand warmers already exist with a metal disc that is snapped / pressed / clicked. The grip warmer / hand warmer has a metal disc that is snapped / clicked, embedded in a liquid. This liquid is transparent when not activated. As soon as the metal disc is "clicked," the liquid solidifies into a white mass and radiates heat.

[0002] The "click" of the metal plate triggers the chemical reaction inside the hand warmer, causing it to emit heat. These hand warmers can be reactivated with boiling water.

[0003] This principle of the hand warmer is widespread and generally known. They can be purchased, for example, on Google, Amazon, Bing, or eBay. The problem underlying the invention

[0004] When you're outdoors in winter and holding onto something (such as a bicycle, scooter, stroller, walker, umbrella, wagon, wheelchair, dog leash, fishing rod, ski poles, etc.), the only inexpensive way to keep your fingers and hands warm is with gloves, but not by actively warming them. Hand warmers (the current state of the art) cannot be attached to handles without falling off as soon as you let go of them. The invention - The handle warmer

[0005] The hand warmer is based on the well-known principle of the hand warmer. Its special features lie in its structure, shape, and closure.

[0006] The handle warmer can be attached to a wide variety of cylindrical objects (e.g., forearms, bottles, handles) using its fastening mechanism (Q) (e.g., Velcro, magnets).

[0007] Its shape and structure (R) ensure that the liquid inside is distributed evenly, thus guaranteeing greater safety and consistent heat.

[0008] Thus, the handle warmer solves the “problem underlying the invention” by being able to be securely and reliably attached to, for example, handles and providing active warmth.

[0009] The handle warmer (the invention) is based on the principle of the hand warmer, but due to its shape, structure and closure, it can be attached to round objects, for example. Annex 2.2

[0010] Handle warmer for various handles, featuring a quilted surface structure with spot welding of the top and bottom (R). This ensures even distribution of the liquid when closing around round objects or similar, guaranteeing uniform heat distribution.

[0011] For example, the handle warmer for various handles has unfilled material strips (F) at both ends to allow the attachment of the locking mechanism (Q).

[0012] For example, the grip warmer can be securely attached to round objects or other items (e.g., forearms) on two opposite sides and directions using its fastening mechanism (Q) (e.g., Velcro or magnets). One attachment point is on the unfilled material strip (F) on the side facing us (front); the other is on the unfilled material strip (F) on the side facing away from us (back). This allows the grip warmer to be closed in an approximate curve. Commercial use

[0013] It can be manufactured and marketed as a new solution and innovative product. The handle warmer can also be used in commercial settings, for example, on wheelchairs in hospitals. Beneficial effect on the state of the art

[0014] The hand warmer encourages reflection on the full potential of the hand warmer principle (with current technology). This leads to the discovery of further applications for this proven principle, resulting in a more diverse use of the hand warmer. One way to implement the claimed invention in detail

[0015] Situation: I want to push my baby in the stroller in the wind and snow. My hands get very cold. So I take two hand warmers and "click" the metal disc inside so that the clear liquid around the disc solidifies, turns white, and radiates heat. Then I place the filled hand warmer (H) around the stroller handle, bring the unfilled material strips (F) together at the bottom, and fasten them with the closure mechanism (Q) (e.g., Velcro). It now looks like the one shown in diagram 2, with the stroller handle in the center. Now I do the same on the other side for the other hand.
