Mobile Device Heating Jacket

Abstract

An insulating cover for a mobile device is disclosed. The cover includes an opening in its back wall to allow ambient air to interact with an exothermic pack to provide sufficient heat to the mobile device such that it will function properly in a cold environment. The opening is preferably provided with a mesh pocket to secure the exothermic pack in proximity to the mobile device.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . A cover for a mobile device comprising:
 a stretchable elastomeric body having a back wall portion and an interior and an exterior where said back wall is provided with an opening between said interior and said exterior allowing communication with outside air;   said elastomeric body further including a receptacle opening for a mobile device; and   said back wall opening is provided with a securement means adapted to position an exothermic heating device between said elastomeric body interior and said elastomeric body exterior such that:   a mobile device may be placed within said interior of said elastomeric body and an exothermic heating device may be secured proximate said back wall opening.   
     
     
         2 . The cover as claimed in  claim 1 , further including a lanyard attached to said elastomeric body. 
     
     
         3 . The cover as claimed in  claim 2  where said back wall opening securement means comprises a mesh fabric pocket. 
     
     
         4 . The cover as claimed in  claim 1  where said elastomeric body interior of said elastomeric body is defined by a first side and a second side, a bottom side and a top side and where said interior of said elastomeric body is further defined by said back wall. 
     
     
         5 . The cover as claimed in  claim 4  further including a lanyard attached to said elastomeric body. 
     
     
         6 . The cover as claimed in  claim 5  where said back wall opening securement means comprises a mesh fabric pocket. 
     
     
         7 . The cover as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the cover is comprised of a fabric material. 
     
     
         8 . The cover as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the cover is comprised of a polymer. 
     
     
         9 . The cover as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the cover is comprised of closed cell sheet insulation. 
     
     
         10 . A cover for a mobile device comprising:
 a stretchable elastomeric body having a back wall portion and an interior and an exterior where said back wall is provided with an opening between said interior and said exterior allowing communication with outside air and further where said elastomeric body includes an elastic lanyard attached thereto;   said elastomeric body further including a receptacle opening for a mobile device; and   said back wall opening is provided with a securement means adapted to position an exothermic heating device between said elastomeric body interior and said elastomeric body exterior such that:   a mobile device may be placed within said interior of said elastomeric body and an exothermic heating device may be secured proximate said back wall opening.   
     
     
         11 . The cover as claimed in  claim 10  where said back wall opening securement means comprises a mesh fabric pocket. 
     
     
         12 . The cover as claimed in  claim 11  where said elastomeric body interior of said elastomeric body is defined by a first side and a second side, a bottom side and a top side and where said interior of said elastomeric body is further defined by said back wall. 
     
     
         13 . The cover as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the cover is comprised of a fabric material. 
     
     
         14 . The cover as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the cover is comprised of a polymer. 
     
     
         15 . The cover as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the cover is comprised of closed cell sheet insulation.
