Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a garment system, and more particularly, to a garment apparatus having a plurality of pockets with a plurality of heat exchangers.
- a top, or an upper garment is an item of clothing that covers the chest, the belly, the waist, the arms, and the neck.
- the upper garment covers most of the upper human body between the neck and the waist.
- the bottom of the upper garment can be as short as mid-torso, or as long as mid-thigh.
- the upper garment is generally paired with pants, and for women, the upper garment is generally with pants or skirts.
- Common types of the upper garment are t-shirts, blouses and shirts.
- the upper garment is an item worn on the upper human body.
- the upper garment is made of fabrics or textiles, but over time there are upper garments made from animal skin and other thin sheets of materials and natural products found in the environment or artificial products.
- the wearing of the upper garment is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of all human societies.
- the amount and type of the upper garment worn depends on race, gender, body type, social factors, and geographic considerations.
- the upper garment serves many purposes.
- the upper garment can serve as protection from the elements, rough surfaces, sharp stones, rash-causing plants, insect bites, splinters, thorns and prickles, since the upper garment is able to provide a barrier between the skin and the environment.
- the upper garment is able to insulate against cold or hot conditions.
- the upper garment is able to provide a hygienic barrier, keeping infectious and toxic materials away from the upper human body.
- the upper garment is able to protect the upper human body from injury and discomfort or facilitate navigation in varied environments.
- the upper garment is able to also provide protection from ultraviolet radiation.
- the upper garment is able to prevent glare or increase visual acuity in harsh environments.

- the upper garment also may be used to communicate social status, wealth, group identity, and individualism.
- the upper garment may have pockets, belts, or loops as a means to carry things.
- pouches of pockets of the upper garment may carry heating packets or cooling packets.

Description
- The present invention relates generally to a garment system, and more particularly, to a garment apparatus having a plurality of pockets with a plurality of heat exchangers.
- A top, or an upper garment, is an item of clothing that covers the chest, the belly, the waist, the arms, and the neck. Usually, the upper garment covers most of the upper human body between the neck and the waist. The bottom of the upper garment can be as short as mid-torso, or as long as mid-thigh. For men, the upper garment is generally paired with pants, and for women, the upper garment is generally with pants or skirts. Common types of the upper garment are t-shirts, blouses and shirts.
- The upper garment is an item worn on the upper human body. Typically, the upper garment is made of fabrics or textiles, but over time there are upper garments made from animal skin and other thin sheets of materials and natural products found in the environment or artificial products. The wearing of the upper garment is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of all human societies. The amount and type of the upper garment worn depends on race, gender, body type, social factors, and geographic considerations.
- The upper garment serves many purposes. For example, the upper garment can serve as protection from the elements, rough surfaces, sharp stones, rash-causing plants, insect bites, splinters, thorns and prickles, since the upper garment is able to provide a barrier between the skin and the environment. The upper garment is able to insulate against cold or hot conditions. Additionally, the upper garment is able to provide a hygienic barrier, keeping infectious and toxic materials away from the upper human body. The upper garment is able to protect the upper human body from injury and discomfort or facilitate navigation in varied environments. The upper garment is able to also provide protection from ultraviolet radiation. The upper garment is able to prevent glare or increase visual acuity in harsh environments. The upper garment is able to provide protection against injury in specific tasks and occupations, sports, and warfare.
- The upper garment may have significant social factors as well. Wearing the upper garment is a variable social norm. The upper garment may connote modesty. Being deprived of the upper garment in front of others may be embarrassing, especially for women. In many parts of the world, not wearing the upper garment in public so that genitals, breasts, or buttocks are visible could be considered indecent exposure, especially for women. The upper garment also may be used to communicate social status, wealth, group identity, and individualism.
- Furthermore, the upper garment may have pockets, belts, or loops as a means to carry things. For example, pouches of pockets of the upper garment may carry heating packets or cooling packets. A known upper garment for heating body temperature or cooling body temperature has pouches for accommodating inserted heating packets or cooling packets. Another known ice cooling upper garment is used to alleviate physiological strain due to heat stress and has sealed pockets containing water which can be frozen so as to provide body cooling. However, these known upper garments do not describe that an upper garment apparatus provides therapy functions to shoulders, a back and a waist of a wearer.
- Accordingly, there is need for a solution to at least one of the aforementioned problems. For instance, there is an established need for a preferably garment apparatus that could give relief to users who may suffer from muscle and arthritic pain, degenerative disc disease, post physical therapy pain, post-surgery pain, sports injury related pain, heat exhaustion, inflammation and muscle pain.
