  • Publication number: 20120193342
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically heatable sock having a foot part and a leg part abutting thereon, at least one heating element being disposed on the foot part which is connected via supply lines to terminals for a voltage supply which has a battery, the terminals being disposed in the upper region of the leg part. As a result of the fact that a cuff which can be folded over is disposed on the upper end of the leg part, the terminals being attached and formed on the side of the cuff situated inside in the folded-over state in order to fix the battery in the correct position in the folded-over state of the cuff and to retain it at least partially, a sock is made possible which is simple to produce and comfortable to wear and ensures a reliable attachment of the components necessary for heating.
