Patent ID: 8481895

Claim:
A portable textile warmer designed to dry heat warm a textile comprising: a housing body having a bottom portion, a top portion, an inner shell, and a lid; said inner shell having an inner surface that at least partially forms a warming cavity; said warming cavity having a base wall and a side wall; said warming cavity having a volume to hold at least one standard bath towel; said lid positionable on said top portion of said housing; said lid movable between an open and a closed position wherein said lid in the closed position causing said one or more textiles in said warming cavity to be substantially encapsulated by said warming cavity; said lid in the open position enabling one or more textiles to be inserted or removed from said warming cavity; and, a heating arrangement designed to dry heat one or more textiles positioned in said warming cavity; said heating arrangement including a resistive heating element, a heating controller, a current connector, and an activation switch; said resistive heating element positioned on an outer surface of said inner shell and about said side wall of said warming cavity, in close proximity to said outer surface of said inner shell and about said side wall of said warming cavity, or combinations thereof; said resistive heating element designed to heat said inner surface of said inner shell; said current connector designed to connect to a current source to provide current to said resistive heating element; said heating controller terminating a flow of current to said resistive heating element once a predetermined period of time has passed since said activation switch has been actuated by a user, after a temperature sensor senses a predetermined temperature after a user has actuated said activation switch, or combinations thereof.
