Abstract
Autonomous device for the production of heat energy, essentially characterized by its being made up of a container made of cardboard or similar material, containing a ratio of between 60% and 70% of calcium oxide and 30% to 40% of potassium carbonate, which container presents an external cover made of highly absorbent material, apt to be thoroughly wet by water slowly transferred through the container wall towards its inner portion, causing the hydration of the calcium oxide and its transformation in calcium hydroxide, with the resulting heat energy production, which is regulated and dosed by a percentage of potassium carbonate, in order to provide a slowly rising and falling temperature, over a long period of time, usable as warming means.
Description
DESCRIPTION
This patent specification refers to an autonomous device for the production of heat energy.
This invention refers to the conception of a device that constitutes a heat production potential that may be carried by the user, and which may furthermore be activated at a chosen time to achieve a high and long lasting temperature, lQ usable for multiple applications such as, for instance: in domestic applications, as a device to warm beds, clothes, and water; in open air sports and events, to compensate for low environmental temperatures; and in other applications or activities, such as medicine, to combat rheumatic affections, 1~ arthritis, otitis, muscular pains; when camping; and in nautical activities, long stays out in the open, under cold climate conditions or at night, etc.
In general terms, the device object of this invention is made up of a container made of not very permeable material of approximate size 9 x 18 cm and a weight of 180 g, containing inside it potent chemical compounds that, in the proper proportions, react by hydration generating heat energy that is used for multiple applications, such as the ones listed above. The container includes means conceived for slow and continuous water supply, in order to achieve a long lasting heat energy supply. Its evolution starts off ambient temperature to rise, with a gradually greater gradient, up to 90C, reaching its maximum temperature after approximately 100 minutes, when it then starts to descend smoothly until reaching human body temperature, something that does not take place until after a period of four hours from its initial activation.
The ingredients are not cont~m'n~nt nor do they have to be taken out of the container at any time to perform their function.
In order to facilitate the explanation, this patent specification is accompanied by a drawing sheet showing an execution of the invention included as an example.
In the drawings:
lQ Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device, partially cut away to show the various layers making up its structure.
Figure 2 corresponds to a side view of the device, as per the previous figure.
~eferring to the figures, in its execution may be observed a device conceived for the production of heat energy at a user chosen time, made up of a container -1-, preferably made of cardboard, externally covered by a layer -2-, made of very ~Q absorbent, chamois-type material, and by a plastic wrapper -3-. Inside the container itself, -1-, there is calcium oxide in proportions of between 60% and 70~ and potassium carbonate in proportions of between 30~ and 40~, these products being marked as item -4-.
Its operation is as follows:
To activate the device, the chamois or highly absorbent material layer -2- is thoroughly wet with water, so as to achieve a slow transfer of water through permeability absorption from the outside to the inside, through the material (cardboard) making up the container -1-. This water supply produces the hydration of the calcium oxide and its transformation to calcium hydroxide, with the resulting creation of heat energy, which is regulated and dosed by the presence of the potassium carbonate in the proper percentage, which makes possible the use of the heat energy so generated as a long lasting autonomous heat producing source.
This patent, within its own essentiality, may be put into practice in other manners of execution differing in details from that mentioned in the description given as an example, and which shall be similarly covered by the protection sought. It may, therefore, be manufactured in any shape or size, and using the most appropriate materials, due to all such applications being covered by the spirit of the claims.
