Square rechargeable dc battery

Haptic controller

A bulletproof article of apparel is provided with an opening in an inner lining thereof for access to a configured space adapted to receive a bulletproof panel and an electrically heating panel having electrical heating conductors. A dc voltage supply cable is secured to the electrical heating conductors to provide comfort to a wearer person during cold climatic conditions. A controller module is secured to the dc voltage supply cable and to a dc battery to control a supply voltage to the electrical heating conductors. The controller module is retained at a location accessible to a wearer person fitted with the bulletproof article of apparel and has a switch to permit the wearer person to switch the battery power on/off and regulate the voltage supply to the electrical heating conductors. Feedback means informs the wearer person of the operating mode provided by a switch actuation by the wearer person.

Bulletproof wearable with heat control

An integrated control device for mounting in electrically heated articles of apparel for controlling power to heating wires secured in the articles of apparel. The control device has a finger-operable switch integrated with electronic circuits mounted on a pcb board. The electronic circuits have a communication circuit to interface with a user person to provide message information to the user person. A waterproof envelope shields at least a portion of the control device. An input electrical connecting port is mounted on the control device and accessible from outside the waterproof envelope. The input electrical connecting port is configured to magnetically receive and retain an external electrical connector having a conductor cable secured thereto to provide power to the electronic circuits from an external electrical power source. The input electrical connecting port, and the external electrical connector positioned therein, exhibit a magnetic coupling force of a predetermined strength permitting rotational planar displacement of the external electrical connector, when a shear force is applied thereto by the conductor cable of the external electrical connector, without separating the magnetic coupling retention force between the magnet retainers.

Control device for mounting on electrically heated articles of apparel

An electrically heatable, above-the-calf, oversock is formed by interconnected fabric sections. The oversock defines a foot section and a leg section interconnected with one another. The foot section has a toe heating section secured thereto. The leg section is formed of interconnected pattern fabric panels secured together by thread seams. In one embodiment of the oversock, the pattern fabric panels include two elongated side fabric panels extending from a top end of the leg section to the foot section, a front panel and a rear panel. At least the lateral one of the two elongated side fabric panels is formed by two or more superimposed side panel pattern pieces interconnected to one another by stitch seams and defining there between a channel through which extends a power feed wire from a switch secured in a upper part of the channel and accessible from an outer surface of the lateral side panel. The feed wire extends to the toe heating section where it is secured to a toe heating wire. An oversock retainer is secured about a top end of the leg section for retention of the oversock above the calf of a wearer person's leg.
