US 2026/0199125 A1 · Handheld Heating and Cooling Device

Abstract

A handheld heating and cooling device is a device that enables regulation of body temperature by heating or cooling the user's hand using electrical power. The device includes an ergonomically shaped housing, a thermoelectric heat pump, a heat exchanger, a controller, a portable power source, and a thermo-conductive panel. The ergonomically shaped housing is a hollow structure large enough to retain the thermoelectric heat pump, the heat exchanger, the controller, and the power source. The thermo-conductive panel allows the warming or cooling of the user's body by allowing the thermal exchange between the thermoelectric heat pump and the user's palm. The thermoelectric heat pump generates the heating or cooling necessary to regulate the user's body temperature. The heat exchanger prevents damage to the internal components by removing heat waste from the thermoelectric heat pump during operation. The controller and the portable power source allow the mobile use of the device.
