Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A heated mitten for use in conjunction with the application of hand cream or the like comprising: an inner mitten for placement on a human hand, said inner mitten forming an open ended hand receiving chamber therein; an outer mitten forming an open ended heated chamber therein, said heated chamber being dimensioned to capture and removeably retain therein said inner mitten having said human hand inserted therein; means for electrically heating said heated chamber of said outer mitten; means for regulating the temperature at which said electrical heating means operates; and means for storing said hand cream within said inner mitten including at least one reservoir provided in said inner mitten for retaining said hand cream therein, said reservoir being covered by a meltable membrane, said membrane retaining said hand cream within said reservoir until a source of artificial heat is applied thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
A heated mitten for use in conjunction with the application of hand cream or the like comprising: an inner mitten for placement on a human hand, said inner mitten forming an open ended hand receiving chamber therein; an outer mitten forming an open ended heated chamber therein, said heated chamber being dimensioned to capture and removeably retain therein said inner mitten having said human hand inserted therein; means for electrically heating said heated chamber of said outer mitten; means for regulating the temperature at which said electrical heating means operates; and means for storing said hand cream within said inner mitten including at least one reservoir provided in said inner mitten for retaining said hand cream therein, said reservoir being covered by a meltable membrane, said membrane retaining said hand cream within said reservoir until a source of artificial heat is applied thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
A heated mitten as claimed in claim 1, wherein said electrical heating means comprises a heating element located in the structure of said outer mitten, an electrical insulating material covering said heating element, said heating element being adjacent to the upper and lower surfaces of said human hand when inserted within said heated chamber, said heating element being coupled to the electrical powering means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
92 words
A heated mitten as claimed in claim 1, wherein said regulating means comprises an adjustable temperature regulating device fixedly secured to the outer surface of said outer mitten, a heat sensing probe being operably coupled to said device and being disposed within said outer mitten adjacent to said heated chamber thereof, said heat sensing probe sensing the temperature of said heated chamber and in conjunction with said device activating and deactivating said electrical heating means to maintain a constant temperature within said heated chamber as preselected by the user on said device.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A heated mitten as claimed in claim 3, wherein said heat sensing probe incorporates thermister type circuitry to sense changes in temperature.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A heated mitten as claimed in claim 1, wherein said inner mitten is constructed of a liquid impervious material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A heated mitten as claimed in claim 1, wherein said inner mitten is constructed of a liquid impervious disposable material.
