| Abstract: |
A cold-weather hand covering of the present invention includes a selectively shaped chemical heating element receiving chamber. In one embodiment, a fingerless glove hand covering having a substantially rectangular shaped chemical heating element receiving chamber confronting the palm side of the base of the fingers is disclosed. The fingers are warmed by so clenching the hand as to bring the fingers into direct heat receiving contact with the heat chamber, and heat transmitted thereby into the palm heats the blood and warms the fingers by circulation. In another embodiment, a mitt hand covering having a substantially heel-shaped chemical heating element receiving chamber confronting either the back surface or the front surface of the fingers including the fingertips is disclosed. The fingers are warmed directly by heat transmitted to the entire surface of the fingers and fingertips by the heel-shaped chemical heating element chamber. In a further embodiment, a glove hand covering having an articulated finger and thumb shaped chemical heating element receiving chamber confronting either the back surface or the front surface of the individual fingers and tub is disclosed. The fingers and thumb are warmed directly by heat individually transmitted thereto by the articulated finger and thumb shaped chamber. In a further embodiment, a mitt hand covering having a hand-shaped chemical heating element receiving chamber confronting either the front or the back of the hand is disclosed. The fingers and thumb are collectively warmed directly by the hand-shaped chamber. In further embodiments, a side-opening pocket is disclosed for a glove and for a mitt. In another embodiment, a liner for a three-finger glove having a central partition to either side of which the fingers can be placed and a trigger finger opening are disclosed. In each of the disclosed embodiments, a selectively shaped chemical heating element is removably retained in the corresponding one of the selectively shaped chambers, and the several embodiments can advantageously be employed as either independent hand coverings or as liners.
