Abstract

A warming device for directing energy from a heating pad. The warming device includes a sleeve of insulating material, a heat pad receiving pocket, and a reflective material positioned inside the pocket. The heating pad receiving pocket is disposed along a first surface side of the sleeve, while the reflective material positioned inside of the heating pad receiving pocket along the first surface side of the sleeve.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A warming device comprising:
 a sleeve of insulating material,   a heating pad receiving pocket disposed along a first surface side of the sleeve; and   a reflective material positioned inside of the heating pad receiving pocket along the first surface side of the sleeve.   
     
     
         2 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , wherein the heating pad is a one-time chemical reaction pad. 
     
     
         3 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is flexible. 
     
     
         4 . The warming device according to  claim 3 , wherein one end on the sleeve includes a fastener that connects to another end of the sleeve to form an adaptive wrap. 
     
     
         5 . The warming device according to  claim 4 , wherein the fastener comprises a hook-and-loop fastener system. 
     
     
         6 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a layer of grip disposed along the first surface side of the sleeve and an outer surface of the heating pad receiving pocket. 
     
     
         7 . The warming device according to  claim 6 , wherein the layer of grip is a frictional and resistance material. 
     
     
         8 . The warming device according to  claim 6 , wherein the layer of grip is an adhesive. 
     
     
         9 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket includes at least two sides secured to the sleeve and at least one opening for receiving the heating pad. 
     
     
         10 . The warming device according to  claim 9 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket is elastic. 
     
     
         11 . The warming device according to  claim 9 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket includes a front wall prepared from a perforated material. 
     
     
         12 . The warming device according to  claim 11 , wherein the reflective material faces the front wall. 
     
     
         13 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , wherein the reflective material is a metalized polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET). 
     
     
         14 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a wear layer positioned on an outer surface of the reflective material. 
     
     
         15 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , further comprising another wear layer positioned on an outer surface of the sleeve. 
     
     
         16 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket includes at least three sides lined with the reflective material. 
     
     
         17 . The warming device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is an elastic tubular structure having an outer surface and an inner surface on which the heating pad receiving pocket is positioned. 
     
     
         18 . The warming device according to  claim 17 , further comprising a layer of grip disposed along the first surface side of the sleeve and an outer surface of the heating pad receiving pocket. 
     
     
         19 . The warming device according to  claim 17 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket includes at least two sides secured to the sleeve and at least one opening for receiving the heating pad. 
     
     
         20 . The warming device according to  claim 19 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket is elastic. 
     
     
         21 . The warming device according to  claim 20 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket includes a front wall prepared from a perforated material. 
     
     
         22 . The warming device according to  claim 21 , wherein the reflective material faces the front wall. 
     
     
         23 . The warming device according to  claim 17 , further comprising a wear layer positioned on an outer surface of the reflective material. 
     
     
         24 . The warming device according to  claim 17 , wherein the heating pad receiving pocket includes at least three sides lined with the reflective material. 
     
     
         25 . A blank for a temperature control element, the blank comprising:
 a sleeve of insulating material,   a temperature controlled element receiving pocket disposed along a first surface side of the sleeve and adapted to removably secure the temperature control element against the first surface side of the sleeve; and   a reflective material positioned inside of the pocket along the first surface side of the sleeve and facing the pocket.   
     
     
         26 . A warming device comprising:
 a sleeve of insulating material,   a heating pad receiving pocket disposed between two ends of the sleeve; and   a reflective material positioned along an inner surface of the pocket.   
     
     
         27 . The warming device according to  claim 26 , wherein the pocket includes at least two sides secured to the sleeve and at least one receiving passageway.
