Description

    FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
  • The present invention relates to mechanically heated and cooled clothing, and, more particularly, to mechanically heated and cooled shoes with easy-to-use controls for regulating temperature.
    • BACKGROUND
  • To feel comfortable during hot or cold weather, most people traditionally dress according to the weather. During hot weather, some people commonly wear thin, light clothing such as T-shirts, shorts, and skirts. For cold weather, items such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, coats, insulated vests, hats, gloves, earmuffs, mittens, gloves and scarves are popular. Shoes in particular are items of clothing that are important for comfort in different temperatures.
  • However, some clothing can be uncomfortable to wear on different occasions. Some warm-weather clothes may cause the wearer to feel uncomfortably hot, and some cold-weather clothing may be too thin to provide adequate heat to the wearer. Therefore, attempts have been made to design mechanically heated and cooled garments capable of making people more comfortable in different weather conditions.
  • For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,623,772 to Sunderland provides a foot-warming system that “includes a device wherein a support assembly detachably mounts a battery pack on the upper surface of a boot to electrically power a heating element within the boot via an electrical cord that preferably passes through an opening in the boot beneath the mounted battery pack.”
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,671,979 to Cardarelli provides “an air flow system based on the human circulatory system whereby a cushioning, cooling and circulating air flow is generated by a wearer of the shoe.”
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,915,641 to Harvie provides a combination personal cooling and heating system in a vest, comprising a heating unit and a cooling unit, power pack, and thermostat. Electric heating strips in the vest add heat, and liquid heat exchange loops in the vest enable cooling. The user can adjust the cooling or heating rate by a wireless or wired remote control
  • Although such systems may provide significantly more heating or cooling for different items of clothing, they typically do not provide mechanically heated and cooled clothing with easy-to-use controls. Therefore, there is a need for mechanically heated and cooled clothing, such as shoes, boots, and gloves, with easy-to-use controls.
    • SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
  • The following explanation describes the present invention by way of example and not by way of limitation.
  • It is an aspect of the present invention to provide mechanically heated and cooled clothing with easy-to-use controls.
  • It is another aspect of the present invention to provide mechanically heated and cooled shoes with easy-to-use controls.
  • It is still another aspect of the present invention to provide mechanically heated and cooled gloves with easy-to-use controls.
  • This and other aspects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and associated drawings. In accordance with the present invention, mechanically heated and cooled clothing with easy-to-use controls is provided. An embodiment comprises an athletic shoe with temperature controls and electrical wiring. A heating and cooling unit attached to the shoe comprises a thermostat, a cooling device, and a heating device. Temperature transfer means in the shoe, such as electrical heating elements and loops for liquid heat exchange, accomplish desired heating and cooling of the shoe. The temperature controls may comprise on, off, hot, and cold buttons for activating the heating and cooling unit and controlling the temperatures. The system may be attached to the shoe or attached to other items and worn elsewhere, such as to a belt worn about the user's waist. The system may also be used with other types of clothing, for example with gloves.
