Finger warming apparatus

Abstract

A finger warming apparatus that is configured to receive four human fingers therein wherein the present invention is configured to be inserted into a pocket or mitten and have fingers journaled thereinto. The finger warming apparatus includes a body wherein the body is formed utilizing a lower wall and an upper wall. The lower wall and upper wall are joined along an outer perimeter edge so as to form a cavity being of suitable size to accommodate four human fingers therein. The body includes an opening providing access to the cavity. The body is formed such that the lower wall has a length that is less than that of the length of an upper wall so as to provide a desired fit and inhibit interference from the palm of the user. The body is manufactured from cloth and includes heating elements disposed in the upper wall and lower wall.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A finger warming apparatus that is configured to provide a temperature greater than that of its surroundings wherein the finger warming apparatus comprises:
 a body, said body having at least one wall formed to create an interior volume, said body having a first end and a second end, said body having an opening at said second end, said opening providing access to said interior volume;   a least one heating element, said at least one heating element being disposed in said at least one wall of said body, said at least one heating element being substantially an equivalent size as the at least one wall of said body; and   wherein said at least one wall includes an upper edge and a lower edge proximate said opening, wherein said upper edge extends outward from said opening at a distance greater than said lower edge.   
     
     
         2 . The finger warming apparatus configured to provide a temperature greater than that of its surroundings as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said interior volume is sufficient in size to accommodate four human fingers therein. 
     
     
         3 . The finger warming apparatus configured to provide a temperature greater than that of its surroundings as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said at least one wall of said body is manufactured from cloth. 
     
     
         4 . The finger warming apparatus configured to provide a temperature greater than that of its surroundings as recited in  claim 3 , and further including a void, said void being intermediate said at least one heating element and an inner surface of said at least one wall. 
     
     
         5 . A finger warming apparatus operable to provide a temperature for fingers disposed therein that is warmer than that of an environmental temperature wherein the finger warming apparatus comprises:
 a body, said body having an upper wall and a lower wall, said upper wall and said lower wall being joined at an outer peripheral edge, said body having a first end and a second end, said lower wall and said upper wall operably coupled to form a cavity therebetween, said body having an opening proximate said second end, said opening configured to provide access for four fingers to said cavity;   a first heating element, said first heating element disposed within said upper wall, said first heating element being substantially equal in size to said upper wall; and   a second heating element, said second heating element being disposed within said lower wall, said second heating element being substantially equal in size to said lower wall.   
     
     
         6 . The finger warming apparatus operable to provide a temperature for fingers disposed therein that is warmer than that of an environmental temperature as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said lower wall includes an upper edge, said upper edge of said lower wall being proximate said opening. 
     
     
         7 . The finger warming apparatus operable to provide a temperature for fingers disposed therein that is warmer than that of an environmental temperature as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said upper wall further includes an upper edge, said upper edge of said upper wall being proximate said opening. 
     
     
         8 . The finger warming apparatus operable to provide a temperature for fingers disposed therein that is warmer than that of an environmental temperature as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said upper edge of said upper wall is at a distance from said first end of said body that is greater than that of said upper edge of said lower wall. 
     
     
         9 . The finger warming apparatus operable to provide a temperature for fingers disposed therein that is warmer than that of an environmental temperature as recited in  claim 8 , and further including a void, said void being present intermediate said first heating element and said upper wall, said first heating element being secured to a portion of an inner surface of said upper wall. 
     
     
         10 . The finger warming apparatus operable to provide a temperature for fingers disposed therein that is warmer than that of an environmental temperature as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said lower wall further includes a void between the second heating element and an inner surface of said lower wall, said second heating element being secured to a portion of said inner surface of said lower wall.
