The Thermal Footwear System includes an energy storage section adapted to store electrical energy and an energy release section electrically coupled to the energy storage section, configured to receive electrical energy from the energy storage section and utilize the electrical energy for production of thermal energy without requiring the use of energy overhead elements which cause expenditure of energy for other than heat generation. The Thermal Footwear System also provides for an energy storage section and a self-regulating energy release section printed on a substrate that can be physically separate and still remain electrically coupled. The energy release section typically comprises a multilayer device that consists of an active thermal element with a wide resistive range generating the thermal output, a thermally conductive guidance layer evenly distributing the generated heat over a predetermined area, and a thermally insulating impedance layer reducing the loss of generated heat to the ambient environment.

An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a textile substrate is obtained, and a thermal regulation composition is applied to a surface of the textile substrate at a first temperature and a first pressure to form a coated textile substrate. The coated textile substrate is dried to form a thermal regulation membrane disposed on the surface of the textile substrate, and the textile substrate with the thermal regulation membrane is compressed at a second pressure and a second temperature to position a portion of the thermal regulation membrane below the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate is incorporated into an article of apparel. The thermal regulation composition can include one or more system reactive components provided within a binder, where a system reactive components can include a cooling agent, a latent heat agent and/or a heat dissipation agent.

SYNTHETIC RADIATOR FABRIC

Номер: US20190313720A1
Принадлежит:

A synthetic radiator fabric with permanent mechanical wicking defines an inner surface and has a raised knit body defining an opposite outer surface. The fabric includes hydrophilic and hydrophobic fiber-containing yarns. At the inner surface, the hydrophilic fiber-containing yarns collect liquid sweat from a wearer's skin surface and maintain the collected sweat at the inner surface, generally in the vicinity of and/or in contact with the wearer's skin, for encouraging evaporation of sweat and providing evaporative cooling. The raised knit body extends from the inner surface toward, and defines, the opposite outer surface. The hydrophobic fiber-containing yarns are arranged in a radiator-like construction forming egg-crate or honey-comb like cells or pores, defined by the knit body and open to the inner surface. At the outer fabric surface, the hydrophobic fibers receive excess sweat from the wearer's body, thereby to encourage rapid evaporation and drying, for improved breathability. 1.
