Description
BOOT HEATER
The present invention relates to a heater for a boot and/or a boot insert. As used herein, the term "boot insert" means both:
• a boot liner which whilst separate from a boot as such will normally be within the boot before a user places his foot in the boot and
• a sock which will normally be on a user's foot before he places it within the boot and
· a tongue insert extending behind a boot tongue, where it is inserted, to extend to the top of the boot and/or its tongue or possibly above the boot and tongue as in a shin protector.
It is known to ohmically heat boots and boot liners for the comfort of wearers in use and to enable boots and liners to be moulded to the user's anatomy.
For the former use, heating elements are not ideally positioned.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved boot heater.
According to the invention there is provided a boot heater comprising a boot or boot insert having a heating element in a tongue region of the boot or boot insert.
The tongue of a conventional boot is a strip of material extending from close to the toes up the front of the boot to its top, so arranged to cover internally the gap between two laced together sides of the boot. Usually tongues of boots have gussets connecting the tongue to sides of the boots. As used herein the "tongue region" is the region of the boot in which the tongue extends. The tongue region of a boot liner is the region of the liner underlying the tongue region of the lined boot.
It is believed that provision of a heating element in the tongue region will have the advantage of heating blood flowing in the user's foot in that arteries leading blood
to the foot run down the frontal region of the lower leg, ankle and foot and spread out from the frontal region to the individual parts of the foot, namely the toes for instance.
The heating element can be provided in the tongue of the boot per se or the tongue region of a boot liner or indeed in the tongue area of a sock or a tongue insert to be worn in a boot. In a boot liner, the heating element can be in a tongue of the boot liner or another tongue region where the liner does not have a discrete tongue, for instance where the two sides of the liner can be wrapped one across the other in front of the user's leg or foot. Insofar as such an arrangement actually has two wrapped pieces underlying the tongue of the boot in use, it has two tongue regions. The heating element can be provided in either. In a sock, the heating element is likely to be in a specific tongue region.
The heating element can be an ohmic element, of either laminar resistive material or woven resistive material. In the preferred embodiment, an element comprised of elastomeric polymer material embedded with carbon particles, manufactured as a flexible sheet, extending underneath and between edge conductors is employed. The element can be provided in combination with a thermostatic device to enable switching current to the element on when area in which the device is installed is below a certain temperature. Alternatively, the heating element may itself be a substantially self-regulating heating element, the element having positive temperature coefficient characteristics, its resistance rising with temperature and typically obviating the need for a separate thermostat. Whilst provision of at least one battery or at least a battery holder within the boot or boot insert can be envisaged, normally the boot or boot insert will be provided with a connector for powering from an external battery or other source of electricity. Conveniently, the connector has a thermostatic device contact for providing temperature data to an external switching circuit.
Again, whilst electrical power is preferred for the heating element, chemical heating elements can be employed.
It is also envisaged that the tongue region heating element can be augmented by at least one heating element positioned elsewhere in the boot or boot insert.
To help understanding of the invention, a specific embodiment thereof will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a boot liner in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is a scrap cross-sectional view on the line II- II through a tongue of the liner;
Figure 3 a scrap cross-sectional view at a larger scale on the line III- III through the tongue at a temperature detecting thermistor; and
Figure 4 is a circuit diagram of the heating element, thermistor and jack of the tongue of the boot liner of Figure 1. Referring to the drawings, a ski boot liner 1 has a tongue 2 (without gussets) in which an ohmic heating element 4 is provided. This is comprised of a layer 41 of polymeric material with embedded granular carbon content enclosed in a waterproof and vapour proof envelope 42 formed by applying an impermeable waterproof coating. Suitable coating materials are polyurethane, silicone or acrylic elastomers or more preferably a laminate such as a foil laminate, however other materials may be used. Conductors 45,46 are provided along edges of the layer of polymeric material with embedded carbon content in contact with the layer. Contacts to the conductors are provided at respective opposite corners and at one end. Suitable laminar heating elements of this form are available from Inditherm pic - w ,indi therm.com .
The liner is fabricated throughout of an outer wearing layer 5, a central insulation layer 6 and an inner layer 7 textured for a comfortable feel and in particular moisture wicking. The heating element is arranged between inner layer and the insulation layer, along the length of the tongue only. It is envisaged that the heating element will assist body heat in wicking moisture away. Since stitching through the element is liable to damage it, the element will not normally extend beyond the tongue proper towards the toes.
A jack connector 11 is provided at the top of the tongue, with one wire 12 connected from one jack contact 121 to one upper end contact 14 of the heating element conductor 45 and another wire 15 connected from another jack contact 151 to the upper end contact 16 of the other element conductor 46.
A thermistor 17 is included in the heating element on the side of the polymeric material with embedded carbon content, which is innermost in use, for measuring the temperature at heating element's surface. One wire 19 of the thermistor is connected to the wire 15 connected to the edge conductor 46 of the element, connecting one side of the element and one side of the thermistor in common to the jack contact 151 and the other thermistor wire 20 is connected to a third jack contact 201.
In use a non-shown battery pack and control circuit provides power via a cable plugged into the jack connector. The battery pack and control circuit can be worn around the user's waist and the control circuit can use pulse width modulation to heat the tongue, bringing the temperature at the liner to one which is comfortable for the user. An alternative battery pack position is on the outsides of the boots or on top of the lacing/clamping region. Again the batteries can be accommodated in a cuff around the top of the boot.
An optional further heating element 21 is arranged in the heel and ankle of the boot liner. Its size and shape can be varied. It is provided with its own jack 22 at the top and back of the liner and its own thermistor 23. It can be controlled from a second circuit in the battery pack and control circuit or it could be provided with its own battery pack and control circuit.
Alternative, mains power supplies and control circuits can be provided for heating the liner to a temperature - detected by the thermistors - for drying of the liner and heating the liner to a softening temperature for moulding the liner to the shape of the users foot, ankle and lower leg inside a ski boot.
The invention is not intended to be restricted to the details of the above described embodiment. For instance, the thermistor wire 19 could be continued to the jack 11, with this being with a fourth contact for it. Further, I envisage that the
heating element could be self-regulating whose resistance rises with temperature, obviating the need for a separate thermostat. Alternatively, I envisage using as an overlay to the heating surface a PTC (positive temperature coefficient of resistance) thermistor (each of low resistance (say 1/3 ohm) below a predetermined temperature) in series with the heating element. More than one such thermistor can be used in parallel with each other and each having a progressively higher critical temperature, whereby current is progressively reduced with temperature to obviate overheating.
As mentioned above the heating element can be incorporated in a sock, which is removable from the boot in the normal way. Again, it is envisaged that the heating element will assist body heat in wicking moisture away. It is further envisaged that the heating element will augment wicking and evaporation of moisture away from the body achieved by conventional moisture control features such as capillaries and/or air channels already provided in socks and/or boots.
Again, I can envisage a tongue insert in accordance with my invention. The insert being narrow as inserted in a boot behind a boot tongue and possibly wider in the region of the wearer's shin where the tongue insert could extend above the boot. It can be provided with a strap to pass behind the user's leg or under and/or behind the ankle, to obviate the tongue insert migrating up the user's leg and out of the boot.
