A boot and foot warming device for skiers and other outdoor sportsmen comprising: a chamber bounded by a top wall having a front and a rear portion, a bottom wall, a back wall and side walls; a leg receiving opening within the front portion of the top wall; a chair structure having a back support mounted upon the top wall rearwardly of the leg receiving opening; a pivoting door hinged to the side walls thereby providing a front wall for the chamber; an air circulating heater mounted within the chamber; the bottom wall being sloped for allowing water run-off; and a drain located in the sloped bottom wall.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Referring now to FIGS.
1 and 2, foot and boot warming device A comprised top wall 10, bottom wall 12, back wall 14, and side walls 16 and 18.
Slotted leg receiving opening 20 is formed in the front portion of top wall 10.
Bottom wall 12 is elevated at its frontal portion by means of leg 22.
A chair structure 24 including a back support 26 is mounted on top wall 10 rearwardly of leg receiving opening 20.
A swinging door 28 is connected to the front portion of side wall 18 by means of hinge 30.
Door 28 includes raised sealing strip 32 as well as outwardly extending flanged portion 34.
A flexible flap 36 is connected to the upper portion of door 28 by means of fasteners 38.
The door 28 is sloped forwardly toward the bottom, because of the slope of the edges of the side walls 16 to permit room for the feet to rest comfortably.
A dividing wall 40 extends transversely across the interior chamber of feet warming device A thereby forming two separated compartments, namely, front chamber 42 and rear chamber 44.
Dividing wall 40 includes slotted portion 46 at the bottom thereof.
A heater/blower 48 is mounted in dividing wall 40 for directing heated air into front chamber 42.
An outside air duct or inlet 50 is present in top wall 10 beneath the rear portion of chair 24.
A drain 51 is located at the rear most portion of sloped bottom wall 12.
Referring now to FIG.
3, a coin box 52 is mounted on the exterior surface of side wall 18.
Coin box 52 is of conventional design, and includes a time controller/actuator 54 (shown in dotted lines).
Actuator 54 is connected to heater/blower 48 by means of cord 56.
An electrical outlet cord 58 is also connected to coin box 52.
OPERATION In operation, the user (phantom lines in FIG.
2) is seated in chair 24 with his thighs supported upon top wall 10.
The lower legs extend through leg receiving opening 20 and are positioned within front chamber 42.
Next, door 28 is closed and flap 36 is extended over the user's knees and upper legs
