Branched tube network and temperature regulating garment with branched tube network

This invention describes a temperature-regulating garment that uses a network of tubes embedded within channels in its fabric. A fluid circulates through these tubes to warm or cool the wearer. The tube network is specifically designed so that each tube branches into two smaller tubes, with the connections occurring at an angle between 30 and 60 degrees.

Why it matters: Since 2017, advancements in flexible additive manufacturing and computational fluid dynamics could simplify creating the precise branched tube networks and optimizing their performance within the garment.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
