Abstract

A method and apparatus for delivery of air to coverings for a human extremity for the purposes of drying and warming the same. In one embodiment of the apparatus, the air is first accumulated in a plenum (64, 68, 70) before delivery to the covering through a tube (72). In another embodiment, the apparatus has a seal (118, 130) at the opening of the boot or glove. The seal has an inlet port (126) and an exhaust port (128). The exhaust port (128) receives a flexible return air duct (122) that leads to an interior extremity of the boot or glove. The exterior portion of the exhaust ports includes risers (162) with diffusers where gloves may be mounted for drying and warning purposes. The inlet port (126) is attached to a fan device in front of a downstream heating element (132). In accordance with this invention, air is forced through the entire boot, insuring that all areas within the boot are warmed and dried.
