Abstract
The invention is a portable heater assembly for retaining a disposable heating element within and further providing a means for controlling heat output therefrom.
Claims25
A portable warmer container comprising:
- an interior cavity shaped and/or sized to receive and retain a thermally oxidative composition within;
- two or more ports formed on a surface of the container, each port defining an aperture extending entirely through the container and defining an airflow pathway from an exterior of the container to the interior cavity of the container;
- and
- two or more separate and distinct airflow regulation tab members directly coupled to a separate respective portion of an exterior surface of the container and arranged relative to, and sealed over, a separate respective one of the ports, each airflow regulation tab member being manually adjustable between at least a fully closed configuration and a fully opened configuration to control exposure of the thermally oxidative composition to ambient air via a respective on of the two or more ports and thereby control heat generation output from the thermally oxidative composition,
- wherein, when a given one of the airflow regulation tab members is in the fully closed configuration, the respective port is completely covered via a portion of the airflow regulation tab member and ambient air is blocked and obstructed from flowing through the respective port and into the interior cavity, and
- wherein, when a given one of the airflow regulation tab members is in the fully opened configuration, the respective port is completely unobstructed and ambient air is permitted to flow through the respective port and into the interior cavity.
3 more elements
A portable warmer container comprising:
- an interior cavity containing a thermally oxidative composition within;
- two or more ports formed on a laminate surface provided on the container, each port defining an airflow pathway from an exterior of the container towards the interior cavity of the container;
- and
- two or more separate and distinct airflow regulation tab members directly coupled to a separate respective portion of an exterior of the laminate surface of the container and arranged relative to, and sealed over, a separate respective one of the ports, each airflow regulation tab member being manually adjustable between at least a fully closed configuration and a fully opened configuration to control exposure of the thermally oxidative composition to ambient air via a respective on of the two or more ports and thereby control heat generation output from the thermally oxidative composition,
- wherein, when a given one of the airflow regulation tab members is in the fully closed configuration, the respective port is completely covered via a portion of the airflow regulation tab member and ambient air is blocked and obstructed from flowing through the respective port and into the interior cavity, and
- wherein, when a given one of the airflow regulation tab members is in the fully opened configuration, the respective port is completely unobstructed and ambient air is permitted to flow through the respective port and into the interior cavity.
3 more elements
The portable warmer container of 17, wherein each of the airflow regulation tab members can be adjusted from the fully closed configuration to the fully opened configuration independent of one another.
