Ski jacket with forearm vents for heat dissipation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11925224B2) describes a ski jacket designed for skiers to wear during varying physical activity levels and heat dissipation needs. The jacket features two sleeves with a unique vent system that allows for adjustable airflow to release body heat effectively. Each sleeve has only one vent located in the lower portion, adjacent to the skier's forearms, framed by spring-loaded profiles that keep the opening closed when untensioned. The vent design ensures heat release without extending into the torso region, preventing heat loss from the skier's torso. Additionally, a turn-lock fastener with pulling cables is included to open or close the vent by bringing the spring-loaded profiles together against their spring force.
The patent also includes claims for the vent system to be covered by an air-permeable, elastic textile, transition between open and closed states based on tension in the spring-loaded profiles, and be equipped with a zipper for easy operation. The vents are arranged along an oblique axis, entirely within the lower portion of the sleeves, and can have various shapes like round, oval, oblong, or square. The spring-loaded profiles are made of materials capable of elastic bending, such as springy plastic rings or spring steel, to facilitate the opening and closing of the vents. The turn-lock fastener is designed to adjust the size and shape of the opening, tension the pulling cables to counteract the spring force, and release tension to allow the opening to close, providing skiers with a customizable and efficient heat dissipation solution while skiing.
