  • Patent number: 4184537
    Abstract: An improved portable refrigeration apparatus for selectively cooling or heating a limb of a patient or the like, and which includes at least one flexible pad adapted to be wrapped around a bodily limb and which incorporates flexible tubing serving as an evaporator. A separate auxiliary evaporator is positioned downstream of the pad in the cooling mode to insure that all of the refrigerant is evaporated before returning to the compressor. A temperature control system is provided for the pad which, in the cooling mode, includes a by-pass conduit which by-passes the pad, and a temperature controlled valve for selectively opening and closing the by-pass conduit, and so that the refrigerant will flow concurrently through the by-pass conduit and the pad when the valve is opened.

  • Patent number: 4026299
    Abstract: An improved portable apparatus for selectively heating and cooling a body portion comprises a unit having at least one flexible pad and tubing for being wrapped around a body portion and acting as an evaporator on cooling and a condenser on heating, a compressor, a condenser acting as an evaporator on heating, a fan for moving air through the condenser, conduits for directing refrigerant composition in the unit, valve means for selectively reversing the flow of refrigerant to alternately cool and heat the pad and tubing, and a carrying case for the apparatus having a lid, bottom, front, back and side panels cooperating to form a chamber in which the apparatus is received, and a port in both the front and back panels for directing air into and from the chamber when the fan is operating.
