  • Patent number: 11896065
    Abstract: A tubular collar adapted to be worn around the neck of an individual. The tubular collar has a front sheet and a rear sheet, each with tapered ends. A fastener is provided on opposite ends of the front and rear sheets. The tubular collar is configurable in an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the closed configuration, the fasteners are attached to each other to affix the tapered ends together to form a loop sized to be placed around the neck of an individual. The tubular collar comprises an opening on the front sheet sized to receive ice or other cooling medium, or a heating medium, within an enclosed space of the tubular collar. By positioning the tubular collar around the neck, the weight of the cooling or heating medium is distributed across the neck and shoulders thereby providing comfort during motion such as during strenuous activities.
