Abstract

Disclosed is both an apparatus and method for thermally conditioning a body in an infant or child car seat. The apparatus includes an envelope containing a phase change material and an insert compartment residing within the car seat adapted to receive the envelope wherein the envelope resides within the insert. The method providing an envelope containing a phase change material and inserting the envelope into a compartment residing within the car seat adapted to receive the envelope for conditioning the body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An infant or child car seat for thermally conditioning a body comprising:
 an envelope containing a phase change material; and   an insert compartment residing within the car seat adapted to receive the envelope whereby the envelope resides within the insert.   
   
   
       2 . The car seat of  claims 1 , wherein the envelope further comprises baffling. 
   
   
       3 . The car seat of  claim 1 , wherein the phase change material is exothermic between the temperatures of about 50 to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       4 . The car seat of  claim 1 , wherein the phase change material is endothermic between the temperatures of about 90 to about 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       5 . The car seat of  claim 1 , wherein the insert compartment further includes padding whereby additional support and comfort is provided to a user of the seat. 
   
   
       6 . A method of thermally conditioning a body in an infant or child seat comprising the steps of:
 providing an envelope containing a phase change material; and   inserting the envelope into a compartment residing within the car seat adapted to receive the envelope for conditioning the body.   
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the envelope further comprises baffling. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the phase change material is exothermic between the temperatures of about 50 to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the phase change material is endothermic between the temperatures of about 90 to about 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the insert compartment further includes padding whereby additional support and comfort is provided to a user of the seat. 
   
   
       11 . An infant or child car seat cover for thermally conditioning a body comprising:
 a cover body;   an envelope containing a phase change material; and   an insert compartment formed within the cover body and adapted to receive the envelope whereby the envelope resides within the insert.   
   
   
       12 . The car seat of  claims 11 , wherein the envelope further comprises baffling. 
   
   
       13 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the phase change material is exothermic between the temperatures of about 50 to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       14 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the phase change material is endothermic between the temperatures of about 90 to about 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       15 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the phase change material is exothermic between the temperatures of about 45° F. to 65° F. degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       16 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the phase change material is endothermic between the temperatures of 85° F. to 110° F. degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       17 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the phase change material is exothermic between the temperatures of about 50° F. to 59° F. degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       18 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the phase change material is endothermic between the temperatures of 91° F. to 105° F. degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       19 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the insert compartment further includes padding whereby additional support and comfort is provided to a user of the seat. 
   
   
       20 . The car seat cover of  claim 11 , wherein the car seat cover further includes a securing means for closing the insert compartment.
