Louis Peclrer, Newark, N. J. Application July as, 1937, serial No. 156,205
` i claim.' (ci. 21e-4c) rlhis invention relates to comforts and has for an object to provide an electrically heated comfort in which the heater units of' the foot section and of the body section are adapted to he independently controlled so that either or both sec-l tions may he selectively heated.
A further object is to provide an electrically heated comfort in which high, low and medium heat may be utilized to suit required conditions of service.
A further object is to provide an electric cornfort having a removable cover for shielding the comfort against being soiled, the cover' being provided with an oil skin to prevent perspiration reaching and soiling thecomfort.
A further object is .to provide van electrically heated comfort in which the resistance wires are sewed to a. separate sheet of fabric so that they will be maintained permanently in place and m cannot become dislodged to cause short circuits.
A further object is to provide an article of this character which will be neat, attractive, extremely pliable and which will be formed of a few strong simple and durable parts, which will be inexpensive to manufacture, and which will not 25 easily get out of order. With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim without.
departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. u In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the comfort and its cover and showing a portion broken away to expose the oil skin.
Figure 2 is a detail longitudinal section of the comfort and cover drawn to enlarged scale.
Figure 3 is a diagrammatic view .showing the electrical connections of the heating cables, thermostats and switches.
Referring now to the drawings in which like characters of reference designate similar parts vin the various views, ill designates a sheet of strong pliable fabric to which is sewed as shown at- Il, electrical heating cables i2 of convenw tional type.-.`-Upp er and lower sheets I3 and Il of satin or other suitable material are stitched at the longitudinal and end edges, as shown at il tothe longitudinal and end edges of the wire supporting sheet Il. Bats of wool i6 and I1 are disposed-:respectively on opposite sides of the bats :i: place upon the upper and lower sheets Il A fabric cover Il is provided for the comfort.
wire supporting sheet Il. Il secure the n The cover is provided witha substantially diomond-shaped opening 2li through which the comfort may be inserted in the cover. The cover comprises upper and lower sheets 2i and 22, best shown in Figure 2. The lower sheet 22 is lined on the inner side with a sheet of oil skin 23 such cables, one of each type, arel stitched side by.
side back and forth three times across the width of the cover in parallel relationship as illustrated. To each pair of the wires, each of which acts as a separate heating unit, a conventional rheostat 21 isconnected. Preferably ve pairs of wires are used for the body section A and four pairs are used for the foot section B. All nine pairs are connected in'multiple to the current supply wires 28 and 29.
Two switches 30 and 3l of the high, low and medium conventional type, are connected to the supply wire 29 and may be used independently to energize certain predetermined heater cables, or
may be used simultaneously to couple certain predetermined cables together to obtain and accommodate heating capacity.
From the above description it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood without further explanation.
What is claimed is: ,p
An electrically heated .comfort comprising a pliable sheet of fabric, electrical heating wires sewed to one face of the sheet, upper and lower sheets of pliable fabric stitched at the longitudinal and end edges to the longitudinal and end edges of the wire supporting sheet, bats of wool disposed respectively on opposite sides of the wire supporting sheet, tufts securing the bats in place upon the upper and upon the lower sheets, a fabriccover forming an envelope for the sheets and bats, there being a substantially diamond shape opening in the central portion of the cover through which said sewed together sheets and bats may be inserted in the cover, the cover comprising upper and lower sheets. a sheet of oilskin lining the inner side of the lower sheet of the cover and preventing perspiration reaching the lower sheet of the comfort to soil the same, the upper and lower sheets and oilskin lining of the cover being al1 sewed together at their longitudinal and end edges, means f or supplying current to said wires, and means for controlling Vthe current supplied to the wires.
