Patent number: 6336935Abstract: The thermal body wraps of the present invention comprise a unified laminate structure having at least one continuous layer of a flexible material having a substantially rectangular, dog bone-like shape and having a first side, a second side, a first end, a second end, a plurality of heat cells, and means for releasably attaching the thermal body wrap to a user's body. Preferably the heat cells are placed into positions fixed within or to the unified structure of the thermal body wraps, relative to each other and sufficiently close to provide controlled, sustained, and uniform heat to the body or body part of the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1999Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Leane Kristine Davis, Nancy Jean McCarthy

Patent number: 6146732Abstract: The present invention relates to disposable thermal packs comprising a unified structure having at least one continuous layer of a semirigid material which softens when heated. The thermal packs also comprise a plurality of individual heat cells, which typically comprise an exothermic composition, spaced apart and fixed throughout the unified structure. The material of the continuous layer or layers provide sufficient rigidity to maintain structural support of the heat cells, to prevent unacceptable stretching of structures of the continuous layer or layers during processing or use of the thermal packs, and to deter easy access to heat cell contents, while also providing good overall drape characteristics when heated. The thermal packs, when incorporated into body wraps, pads, and the like, provide efficient and effective heat coverage by having excellent conformity with various body forms.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1997Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Leane Kristine Davis, Ronald Dean Cramer, William Robert Ouellette, Dawn Michele Kimble

Patent number: 6123717Abstract: The present invention relates to disposable thermal neck wraps having one or more thermal packs comprising a unified structure having at least one continuous layer of semirigid material, which has different stiffness characteristics over a range of temperatures, and a plurality of heat cells, wherein the heat energy is applied to specific areas of the upper back, neck and shoulders. More particularly, the present invention relates to disposable thermal neck wraps having good conformity to user's upper back, neck, and shoulders which provides consistent, convenient, and comfortable heat application.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Leane Kristine Davis, Ronald Dean Cramer, William Robert Ouellette, Dawn Michele Kimble, Sandra Hintz Clear, Amy Michelle Martini

Patent number: 6096067Abstract: The present invention relates to disposable thermal body pads comprising one or more thermal packs having a unified structure of at least one continuous layer of a semirigid material which softens when heated and a plurality of individual heat cells, which typically comprise an exothermic composition, spaced apart and fixedly attached across the thermal pack. The material of the continuous layer or layers provide sufficient rigidity to maintain structural support of the heat cells, to prevent unacceptable stretching of structures of the continuous layer or layers during processing or use of the thermal pads, and to ensure child resistance, while also providing good overall drape characteristics when heated. The disposable thermal body pads are intended to be attached to a user's clothing on one side and to be held directly against the user's skin on the other side, for pain relief.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1996Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Ronald Dean Cramer, Leane Kristine Davis, William Robert Ouellette
