The equipment cover provides sufficient room for an operator's hand to operate the equipment within the interior of the equipment cover. The equipment cover also extends down to the operator's wrist and a portion of the forearm, providing insulation and protection from adverse weather elements. The equipment cover is formed from a custom sewn sheet of insulated material with one or more elastic or cinching openings to allow access to, or for parts of the equipment to extend out of, the equipment cover. Various equipment specific openings allow the operator to view and access equipment controls and displays. Interior pockets may hold chemical heat packs.

  • Publication number: 20040251151
    Abstract: This invention is an insulating and protective piece of equipment for cameras and their attachments. This invention will relieve the problems photographers face shooting in extreme temperatures and inclimate weather. These problems include frozen batteries, failing shutters, slowed flash speeds, and impaired manual dexterity (frozen fingers). Made of sturdy neoprene and lined with polar fleece, the product fits snugly around the body of the camera and the hand, wrist, and forearm of the photographer. Clear plastic windows allow the photographer to view the camera settings and continue working through a wide range of conditions without removing his hand from the invention. Providing protection, warmth, and insulation from the elements, the invention would ultimately increase the performance of the equipment and the photographer.
