ADJUSTABLE INSULATION APPARATUS

摘要

An adjustable insulation apparatus (10) attaches to a garment (12) to manage the body heat of the user. The apparatus (10) includes a lining (14) that may be extended to substantially the width of the garment (12) worn by the user or retracted to reduce the area surrounding the user. The apparatus (10) includes controllers for moving the lining (14) between the extended position and the retracted position, which include extension cords (22) and retraction cord (54) is connected to the lining (14). The extension cord (22) is connected between a proximal end (18) of the lining (14) and an extension grip. The retraction cord (54) is connected between the proximal end (18) of the lining (14) and a retraction grip. In the extended position, the lining (14) surrounds a substantial portion of the user. When the retraction grips are drawn, the proximal end (18) of the lining (14) will be moved toward the distal end (20) of the lining (14). To return the lining (14) to the extended position, the user will pull the extension grips and the proximal end (18) of the lining (14) will move away from the distal end (20) of the lining (14).
