Patent attributes
A method and apparatus for utilizing heat-generating articles to provide active heating of a user's hand, wherein a heated article is placed near the inside of a user's wrist to cause the user's body temperature to be maintained or actively changed. A holder apparatus for use with a conventional heat pack may include a glove body including a wrist sleeve having an externally accessible pocket for receiving the heat pack. The finger end of the glove body may be truncated to allow the holder apparatus to be worn inside of, and in conjunction with a conventional glove or mitten. The holder apparatus may also include a securing band which serves to engird the inside of the wrist to thereby hold the article closely against the wrist and thereby assure heat transfer between the temperature-altering article and the inside of the wrist.
