Nasal strip face warmer

Abstract

A nose warmer is provided. The nose warmer is made of an elongated body having an outer surface, an inner surface and a pouch formed in between. A mixture is contained within the pouch of the elongated body. The mixture is configured to produce an exothermic reaction. The present invention may further include an adhesive layer attached to the inner surface of the elongated body. Therefore, a user may adhere the elongated body to their nose, and keep their nose warm during cold weather.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A nose warmer comprising:
 an elongated body comprising an outer surface, an inner surface and a pouch formed in between, wherein the elongated body is sized to cover at least a portion of a nose;   a mixture disposed within the pouch and configured to produce an exothermic reaction; and   an adhesive disposed on the inner surface of the elongated body.   
     
     
         2 . The nose warmer of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated body comprises an inner edge and an outer edge forming a U-shape. 
     
     
         3 . The nose warmer of  claim 1 , further comprising a polymer strip affixed to the inner surface, wherein the polymer is disposed in between the inner surface and the adhesive. 
     
     
         4 . The nose warmer of  claim 3 , wherein the polymer is latex. 
     
     
         5 . The nose warmer of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises cellulose, iron, water, activated carbon, vermiculite, and salt, and wherein the mixture is operable to produce heat from a exothermic oxidation of iron when exposed to air. 
     
     
         6 . The nose warmer of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises a supersaturated solution operable to produce heat from an exothermic crystallisation. 
     
     
         7 . The nose warmer of  claim 6 , wherein the super saturated solution is sodium acetate. 
     
     
         8 . The nose warmer of  claim 7 , further comprising a metal disk disposed within the pouch. 
     
     
         9 . A method of providing warmth to a user's nose comprising:
 providing a nose warmer comprising an elongated body having an outer surface, an inner surface and a pouch formed in between and a mixture disposed within the pouch configured to produce an exothermic reaction; and   adhering the inner surface of the elongated body to the user's nose.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the elongated body comprises a U-shape. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein a polymer strip is affixed to the inner surface. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the polymer is latex. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the mixture comprises cellulose, iron, water, activated carbon, vermiculite, and salt, and wherein the mixture is operable to produce heat from a exothermic oxidation of iron when exposed to air. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the mixture comprises a supersaturated solution operable to produce heat from an exothermic crystallization. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the super saturated solution is sodium acetate. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising a metal disk disposed within the pouch.
