  • Patent number: 6660977
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an electrical heating plate structure, including an insulating plate, and an electrically conducting plate mounted on the insulating plate. The electrically conducting plate includes multiple heat emitting sections. Each of the heat emitting sections has different radial widths, so that each of the heat emitting sections has radial cross-sectional areas different from each other, thereby capable of controlling a temperature distribution of each region of the electrical heating plate structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6276001
    Abstract: A portable sauna enclosure comprises a foldable frame, a canopy, and a control device. The frame includes a plurality of pivotably connected boards. The canopy is covered on the frame and stretched by it for forming a space. The canopy includes a band along the internal edge of a neck hole having a hook or loop fastener on either end of the band for securing the ends together for preventing dry air from leaking when the band encloses the neck of the person who takes a bath, two side straps on the back of canopy each having a hook or loop fastener for securing the canopy when folded. A control device is provided on a side of the canopy. A heating element for generating dry heated air is provided on the inner surface of frame. A heat resistant layer is sandwiched between the heating element and frame. A protective layer is formed on the heating element for preventing a person from injuring due to direct contact with the high temperature-heating element.

  • Patent number: 6016574
    Abstract: An anti-cold ears cushion is provided. The ears cushion is composed of an arcuate headband in conforming with the head of human and a pair of ear cushions coupled with two ends of the headband. The cushion each includes a base having a lock and a first electrical socket on outer surface and an electrical heating plate on the inner surface connecting to the socket by a pair of first cords, and a pad of warm soft material sleeve onto the base and engageable with the ears of human. A battery seat is receivable in the front pocket of garment and includes a switch and a second electrical socket connected to the first electrical socket by a second cords, when the switch is turned-on, the heating plate inside each of the ear cushions will provide adequate heat to warm the ears in a cold weather.
