Abstract
A temperature regulated apparatus can include a layered member comprising a first layer of material and a second layer of material connected to the first layer. The layered member can have a first opening formed therein and an interior area defined by the first layer and the second layer. The interior area can be in communication with the first opening. A temperature regulating element adapted to alter the temperature of the layered member can be positioned within the interior area of the layered member, and can be removed from the layered member without disassembling the layered member.
Claims20
A temperature regulated apparatus comprising:
- (a) a layered member comprising a heating section and a cooling section, the heating section defining a first side of the layered member and the cooling section defining a second side of the layered member opposite the first side, the layered member having a first opening in communication with a first interior area, and a second opening in communication with a second interior area;
- (b) a heating element positioned within the first interior area, the heating element adapted to increase the temperature of the layered member, the heating element not operatively connected to the layered member and removable from the layered member without disassembling the layered member;
- and
- (c) a cooling element positioned within the second interior area, the cooling element adapted to decrease the temperature of the layered member, the cooling element not operatively connected to the layered member and removable from the layered member without disassembling the layered member.
A furniture apparatus comprising a chair comprising a seat section comprising:
- (a) a first layer of material and a second layer of material attached to the first layer, the seat section having a first opening formed therein and an interior area defined by the first layer and the second layer, the interior area in communication with the first opening;
- and
- (b) a temperature regulating element adapted to alter the temperature of the seat section positioned within the interior area of seat section, wherein the temperature regulating element is not operatively connected to the seat section and can be removed from the seat section without disassembling the seat section.
A hand warmer comprising:
- (a) a layered member comprising a first layer of material and a second layer of material attached to the first layer, the layered member having a first opening formed therein and an interior area defined by the first layer and the second layer, the interior area in communication with the first opening;
- and
- (b) a heating element positioned within the interior area of the layered member adapted to increase the temperature of the layered member, wherein the heating element is not operatively connected to the layered member and can be removed from the layered member without disassembling the layered member.
A sleeping bag comprising:
- (a) a layered member comprising a first layer of material and a second layer of material attached to the first layer, the layered member having a first opening formed therein and an interior area defined by the first layer and the second layer, the interior area in communication with the first opening;
- and
- (b) a temperature regulating element adapted to alter the temperature of the layered member positioned within the interior area of the layered member, wherein the temperature regulating element is not operatively connected to the layered member and can be removed from the layered member without disassembling the layered member.
