Description

The The invention relates to a heated garment, in particular a jacket, a jacket or vest or the like containing a heating system with one or more heating pads, one or more battery packs, a control unit and a wiring.

such clothing are known, for example, as so-called heating vests.

In spite of the advantages of these garments have the known heating vests several disadvantages. When washing and cleaning, the heating system can not be removed, so that when repeated washing and cleaning the Heating vest the heating system is also washed and by the Wash chemicals damaged can be. With such damage, it is then necessary that sent the complete heatable garment for repair becomes. Another disadvantage is that the repair of the Heating system very complex and is expensive.

One Another disadvantage of the known heatable clothing is in the footprint of the sometimes very large battery packs. Further has the heating system has a short heating time and switches in the cycle (7 times) after about 20 minutes. It therefore always needs to be restarted become. Furthermore the heating pads are sewn into the garment and must remain in the textile part, even if the heating system, for example, in warm weather, not needed becomes. The costs of the complete heating system are sometimes very high high.

• • Die Bekleidungsstücke sollen auch in den wärmeren Jahreszeiten auch ohne Heizsystem verwendbar sein.
• • Die Heizpads sollen kostengünstig zu reparieren sein.
• • Die Bekleidungsstücke sollen ohne Beschädigung der Heizpads zu waschen und zu reinigen sein.
• • Die Heizpads, die Verkabelung und das übrige Heizsystem sollen von außen nicht sichtbar sein.
• • Die gewünschte Temperatur soll individuell einstell- und regulierbar sein.

The invention is therefore based on the object to develop a heated garment of the type mentioned, which meets the following requirements:

• • The garments should also be usable in the warmer seasons without a heating system.
• • The heating pads should be inexpensive to repair.
• • The garments should be washed and cleaned without damaging the heating pads.
• • The heating pads, the wiring and the rest of the heating system should not be visible from the outside.
• • The desired temperature should be individually adjustable and adjustable.

These The object is achieved according to the invention in the aforementioned heated garment solved, that the garment internal fastening means for releasably fixing the Heizpads on the garment, in particular pockets, in which the heating pads can be inserted and from which they are removable.

In order to the heating pads are easily removable from the garment, so that the garment even in warmer Seasons is usable, the Heizpads after removing cost-effective too repair without returning the entire item of clothing (eg heating vest) for repair to have to, and washing the clothes after removing the heating pads without their damage possible is. So that the heating pads and the rest Parts of the heating system from the outside not are visible, it is further suggested that the garment is an outer material and has a lining and that the fastening means, in particular the bags, and the wiring between the lining and the Upper are arranged.

to individual regulation of the temperature from the outside is suggested that the control unit is remotely controllable.

• • Die Verkabelung und die Taschen sind von außen nicht sichtbar.
• • Beim Waschen und Reinigen des Bekleidungsstückes kann das Heizsystem entfernt werden, so dass dieses durch die Waschchemikalien nicht beschädigt werden kann.
• • Der Endverbraucher kann die Heizpads selber – je nach Wärmebedarf – im Rücken- oder Brustbereich einlegen. Sollten Heizpads defekt sein, müssen nur die Heizpads und nicht die komplette Bekleidung (z. B. Jacke oder Weste) zur Reparatur eingesandt werden.
• • Die Akku-Packs geben permanent Strom ab.
• • Für sämtliche Akku-Packs wird eine Fernbedienung bereitgestellt, die im Ausführungsbeispiel nur etwa 25 Gramm wiegt und bei der unter anderem sämtliche Funktionen des Akku-Packs gesteuert werden können. Der Endverbraucher hat damit die Möglichkeit, das Akku-Pack direkt oder über die Fernbedienung zu bedienen.
• • Die permanente Stromabgabe der Akku-Packs wird durch eine pulsierende Stromabgabe erreicht. Damit wird die Heizdauer der Akku-Packs verlängert.
• • An sämtlichen Akku-Packs ist ein elektronischer Empfänger für die Signale der Fernbedienung vorgesehen, so dass die kleine und handliche Fernbedienung für alle Akku-Packs verwendet werden kann.
• • Zur Reduzierung des Gewichtes und der Größe der Akku-Packs wurden Lithium-Polymer-Akkus verwendet, welche eine sehr flache Bauweise haben.
• • Eine Digitalanzeige an den Akku-Packs erlaubt die Feststellung des exakten Ladezustandes.
• • Das entnehmbare Heizsystem bietet dem Endverbraucher den Vorteil, dass er das Heizsystem nicht ganzjährig in dem Bekleidungsstück lassen muss. Er kann das Heizsystem erst bei Bedarf in die Innentaschen (zwischen Innenfutter und Oberstoff) einschieben.
• • Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen heizbaren Bekleidungsstückes liegt in der Möglichkeit, dass andere Textilkonfektionäre das gleiche Heizsystem auch für andere Bekleidungsstücke einsetzen können. Dazu ist es nur erforderlich, das Taschensystem auf der Rückseite des Innenfutters einzunähen. Der Kostenaufwand hierzu ist sehr gering. Somit kann der Endverbraucher auch nachträglich das erfindungsgemäße Heizsystem bei seinem Bekleidungsstück einsetzen, nämlich bei sämtlichen textilen Teilen, wie Jacken, Westen, Softshellwesten, Overalls, Arbeitsbekleidung, usw. Ist das Taschensystem bereits im erworbenen Bekleidungsstück eingenäht, so kann der Kunde auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt das Heizsystem erwerben und mit dem Bekleidungsstück verbinden.
• • Weiter hat der Endverbraucher den Vorteil, das auswechselbare Heizsystem nicht nur bei dem ursprünglich vorgesehenen Bekleidungsstück, sondern für andere Bekleidungsstücke, also auch für weitere Saisons über zwei oder drei oder mehr Jahre zu verwenden. Er kann das Heizsystem für eine Jacke oder Weste verwenden und benötigt nur ein einziges solches Heizsystem.
• • Außerdem kann der Kunde unterschiedliche Akku-Packs mit unterschiedlicher Heizdauer – je nach Wunsch – einsetzen.
• • Der größte Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass das Heizsystem auswechselbar ist und für ein breites Publikum, sei es im privaten oder sei es im beruflichen Bereich, genutzt werden kann. Das Heizsystem kann zum Beispiel auch für einen Schlafsack, einen Nierengurt, Sitzkissen, usw. eingesetzt werden.

Hereinafter, the advantages of the heatable garment according to the invention are given without claim to completeness:

• • The wiring and the pockets are not visible from the outside.
• • When washing and cleaning the garment, the heating system may be removed so that it can not be damaged by the washing chemicals.
• • The end user can insert the heating pads themselves - depending on the heat requirement - in the back or chest area. If heating pads are defective, only the heating pads and not the complete clothing (eg jacket or vest) must be sent for repair.
• • The battery packs are constantly giving off power.
• • For all battery packs, a remote control is provided, which weighs only about 25 grams in the embodiment and in which, among other things, all functions of the battery pack can be controlled. The end user thus has the opportunity to operate the battery pack directly or via the remote control.
• • The permanent power supply of the battery packs is achieved by a pulsating current output. This extends the heating time of the battery packs.
• • An electronic receiver for the remote control signals is provided on all battery packs so that the small and handy remote control can be used with all battery packs.
• • To reduce the weight and size of the battery packs, lithium-polymer batteries have been used which have a very flat design.
• • A digital display on the battery packs allowed the determination of the exact state of charge.
• • The removable heating system offers the end user the advantage of not having to leave the heating system in the garment all year round. He can only insert the heating system into the inner pockets (between inner lining and outer fabric) when required.
• Another advantage of the heatable garment according to the invention lies in the possibility that other textile manufacturers can also use the same heating system for other items of clothing. All you need to do is sew in the pocket system on the back of the lining. The cost of this is very low. Thus, the end user can also subsequently use the heating system according to the invention in his garment, namely in all textile parts, such as jackets, vests, softshell vests, overalls, work wear, etc. Is the bag system already sewn in the purchased item of clothing, the customer can also at a later Time to purchase the heating system and connect it to the garment.
• • Furthermore, the end user has the advantage of using the interchangeable heating system not only for the originally intended garment, but for other clothing, including for other seasons over two or three or more years. He can use the heating system for a jacket or vest and only needs one such heating system.
• • In addition, the customer can use different battery packs with different heating times - as required.
• • The biggest advantage of the invention is that the heating system is interchangeable and can be used by a wide public, be it private or professional. The heating system can also be used, for example, for a sleeping bag, a kidney belt, seat cushions, etc.
