Abstract
The heating apparatus for removing mucus comprises a face mask and a chest cover. The face mask may be adapted to be worn adjacent to a face and may retain water between the face mask and the face. The chest cover may be adapted to be worn adjacent to a chest and may retain water between the chest cover and the chest. The face mask and the chest cover may heat when activated and may be adapted to evaporate water to create water vapor which may help to break up mucus located within the user's sinuses and throat. The temperature of the heat created by the face mask and the chest cover may be controlled via a first thermostat control and a second thermostat control, respectively.
Claims16
A heating apparatus for removing mucus comprising:
- a face mask and a chest cover;
- wherein the face mask is adapted to be worn adjacent to a face and retain water between the face mask and the face;
- wherein the chest cover is adapted to be worn adjacent to a chest and retain water between the chest cover and the chest;
- wherein the face mask and the chest cover heat when activated and are adapted to evaporate water to create water vapor which breaks up mucus located within the user's sinuses and throat;
- wherein the temperatures of the heat created by the face mask and the chest cover are controlled via a first thermostat control and a second thermostat control, respectively;
- wherein the face mask comprises a first waterproof outer layer and a first absorbent inner layer;
- wherein the first waterproof outer layer is made from a semi-rigid material;
- wherein the first waterproof outer layer is waterproof such that the face mask is adapted to retain water vapor between the face mask and the face;
- wherein a first heating element heats when an electrical current is passed through the first heating element;
- wherein the first heating element is disposed throughout the face mask such that heat produced by the first heating element causes water retained by the first absorbent inner layer to evaporate and form water vapor;
- wherein the chest cover comprises a second waterproof outer layer and a second absorbent inner layer;
- wherein the second waterproof outer layer is made from a semi-rigid material;
- wherein the second waterproof outer layer is waterproof such that the chest cover is adapted to retain water vapor between the chest cover and the chest.
