  • Patent number: 12352454
    Abstract: A hand-held portable temperature-controlled device includes a cylindrical housing comprising an air inlet and an air outlet in fluid communication with each other. A fan can be located within the cylindrical housing, and a heat sink can be disposed adjacent to the fan. The hand-held portable temperature-controlled device can also include a controllable temperature element configured to generate heating and cooling. The hand-held portable temperature-controlled device can also include a heat spreader disposed adjacent to the controllable temperature element and configured to contact a face of a user. A top surface of the heat spreader can be oriented at a non-zero angle relative to a bottom surface of the heat spreader.
