The disclosure relates to cold temperature garment devices and more particularly pertains to a new cold temperature garment device for protecting a user from heat loss while alternatively taking part in and resting during cold weather activities.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a warming bag having an interior space between the front side and the back side. A slit extends through the front side and extends from a hole in the front side wherein the slit is openable to provide access to the interior space. A slit closure closes the slit. A perimeter closure coupled to the warming bag extends along an edge of the warming bag. The perimeter closure secures the warming bag in a folded position. Each of a pair of straps is coupled to the back side spaced apart for carrying the warming bag in the folded position. A snow suit is provided having a pair of arms, a pair of legs, and a torso section. Each of the arms and the legs is coupled to and extends from the torso section.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A snow suit 36 is provided having a pair of arms 38, a pair of legs 40, and a torso section 42. Each of the arms 38 and the legs 40 is coupled to and extends from the torso section 42. A hood 70 is coupled to the torso section 42 of the snow suit 36. Each of a pair of mitten pockets 46 is positioned on an associated one of the arms 38. Each of the mitten pockets 46 is positioned adjacent to a distal end 48 of the associated one of the arms 38 relative to the torso section 42. Each of a pair of mittens 44 is positionable in a respective one of the mitten pockets 46. Each of a pair of thermal socks 50 is positionable within the warming bag 12 with the snow suit 36 in a conventional manner wherein the thermal socks 50 are configured for being worn with the snow suit 36.
Each of a pair of first loops 52 is coupled to the warming bag 12. The first loops 52 are parallel to the perimeter closure 26. A belt 54 has a pair of opposite ends 56. The belt 54 is extendable through the pair of first loops 52. Each of a pair of second loops 58 is coupled to the warming bag 12. The second loops 58 are parallel to the perimeter closure 26. Each of the second loops 58 is laterally aligned with an associated one of the first loops 52 when the perimeter closure 26 secures the warming bag 12 in the folded position 32 wherein the belt 54 is insertable through first loops 52 and the second loops 58.
Each of a pair of base fasteners 60 is coupled to the warming bag 12. Each of the base fasteners 60 is positioned adjacent to an associated one of the second loops 58. The base fasteners 60 are snaps or another conventional fastener. Each of a pair of belt fasteners 62 is complementary and engageable to an associated one of the base fasteners 60 wherein the belt 54 is coupleable to the warming bag 12. The belt fasteners 62 are also snaps or another conventional fastener being complementary to the base fasteners 60.
In use, the snow suit 36 may be stored in the warming bag 12 until ready to be worn. While the snow suit 36 and thermal socks 50 are worn, the warming bag 12 may be worn in the manner of a back pack until needed. When needed, the warming bag 12 may be taken off of the user's back and opened from the folded position 32. The user may enter the warming bag 12 through the slit 22 and the slit closure 24 closed such that the warming bag 12 surrounds the user from the neck down. The warming bag 12 is constructed generally of material for retaining, reflecting, or otherwise conventionally keeping the user warm within the warming bag 12. When sufficiently warmed, the user may quickly and efficiently restore the warming bag 12 to the folded position 32 on the user's back to resume hiking or the like.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
