Self-contained heating or cooling suit

Abstract

The inventive concept involves a garment or full body suit that covers the entire body of a wearer including the hands, the feet and the head. The garment can be used in either a cold or a hot environment. The heating or cooling system is controlled by a microprocessor that operates on a mini pump that pumps a heating or cooling liquid through tubes that are imbedded throughout the suit.

1 . A garment or a full body suit that has means therein for either cooling or heating the body of a wearer including means for propelling a fluid through said suit by way of tubes imbedded in the fabric of the suit, the said means for propelling includes a fluid pump and a heat exchanger attached thereto. 
     
     
         2 . The garment of  claim 1  including a microprocessor for controlling said means for propelling. 
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 2 , wherein said microprocessor includes a pulse modulation device. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 3 , wherein said device is an interrupt modulation device. 
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 2 , wherein said microprocessor includes mosfet transistors. 
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 2 , wherein said microprocessor includes a peltier device. 
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 1 , including a heating element that has an energy consumption of up to 142 watts and can heat water up to 130 degrees F. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 7 , wherein said heating element is constructed as ceramic tube having micro resistance wire wrapped there around and again covered by a ceramic coating.
