Device and method for warming a seat

摘要

An air permeable envelope has a gripper for securing the envelope to a seat. A mixture contained in the air permeable envelope can react exothermically upon exposure to air. A sealed bag that is relatively air impermeable, initially holds the air permeable envelope and mixture together with the gripper. Upon opening and unsealing the bag, the mixture is exposed to air in order to start an exothermic reaction. The envelope and the gripper are removed from the bag and the gripper is used to attach the envelope upon the seat to warm it.

主权项

1. A device for warming a seat, comprising:
an air permeable envelope having a gripper for securing said envelope to said seat; a mixture contained in said air permeable envelope that exothermically reacts upon exposure to air; a sealed bag holding said air permeable envelope together with said gripper and said mixture, in comparison to said air permeable envelope said bag being relatively air impermeable in order to restrict exothermic reaction with air of said mixture in said envelope; and the gripper comprises an elastic member peripherally attached to said envelope and sized to fit over said seat in order to secure said envelope thereto; and the envelope comprises a pair of sheets that are sealed together along a closed peripheral boundary encompassing said mixture, at least one of said sheets having an annular apron extending beyond said closed peripheral boundary and terminating in a hem encompassing said elastic member.
