  • Patent number: 8172888
    Abstract: A thermal pack having a bent lip uniformly disposed away from a skin side of the thermal pack. The thermal pack of the present invention eliminates discomfort associated with prior art thermal packs by providing a lip that bends up and away from the skin, thereby avoiding or minimizing contact with the skin and limiting irritation. The pack is preferably provided with an insulated wrap 90 that can be attached to the pack, such as by a hook-and-loop fastener. The wrap will aid in placement of the device upon the user, as well as extend the benefits of the thermal medium. The wrap is conventionally formed of a thermoplastic material commonly used in packaging.

  • Patent number: 6857134
    Abstract: A personal cooling device adapted for suspension from the rear strap of a cap. The device includes an elongated pouch member configured to hold a coolant pack, and a suspension member extended above an open upper end of a second side of the pouch. Fastening means are provided such that the suspension means can be looped over the strap of the cap and secured to the pouch, thereby securing the pouch on the cap. A second suspension member, extending from a side of the pouch, can be used to hang the device from a cap in a horizontal configuration. A coolant pack enclosed in the pouch cools the user. To prevent pooling of coolant gel, the coolant pack preferably has a plurality of closed compartments. The device can be used in an exchange system in which warm packs are replaced with frozen packs, such as for a rental fee.
