Warmth retaining and heat generating tech
Due to the extreme climate over these years, once the
winter temperature drops suddenly, heat generating clothes
have become hot sales either at the convenience or clothes
channels such as UNIQLO, aPure, Far Easter Textile, lativ,
7-select and other clothes brands. They all promote heat-
generating clothes. A few of customers think once they
put the clothes and they would be able to fight against
coldness. But the real heat-generating clothes shall be the
ones which can increase the temperature and sheds out
warmth. Currently, most manufacturers use acrylate which
can create co-vibration with the body moisture to generate
heat. Besides, Asiatic Fiber Corporation release heating neck
scarf, heating vest, heating gloves and other heating related
products. For example, its heating vest is loaded with a
heating pad and rechargeable lithium batteries and it heats

Corporation. This invention is the most convenient, safest
and economic heating apparatus to prepare food. A hotcup
without any use of fuel or electricity can heat up all kinds of
brewed beverage or food. In fact, the idea of this product is
to put a super heating pad between two specially-designed
heat-resisting PP cups. As long as to add some water in
the outer cup and press the inner cup a bit, the super
heating pad would absorb the water immediately and
generate heat promptly. A user can easily enjoy a cup of
tea or coffee, instant porridge, soup, or food at any time
or any location. The inventor, Mr. Wang, expressed that
he adopts the concept of a heating pad and uses calcium
oxide as the basic material plus other harmless natural
minerals. He transforms the heating pad which generates
low-level heat and extends for a long period of time into
a super quick heating pad with high temperature. His
invention has earned many Japanese customers’ favor,
particularly for those who go fishing or camping.
