Headwear for cooling the neurocranium region of a user's head and thereby the user's brain. In particular, the headwear provides selective cooling to specific areas of the parietal region, the frontal region, the temporal region and the occipital region of the cranium associated with the drainage system of the brain following a traumatic injury.

The cooling system for patients with fever is a mechanical, fluid-based system for cooling patients suffering from fever. The cooling system for patients with fever includes a reservoir for containing a cooling fluid, which is maintained at a desired temperature. A temperature sensor is received in the reservoir. The temperature sensor is immersed in the cooling fluid for measuring the temperature thereof. A chiller is also received in the reservoir for selectively cooling the cooling fluid when the temperature thereof, measured by the temperature sensor, is above a pre-set temperature threshold. The reservoir communicates with a cooling pad, which is formed from a padded layer having at least one channel embedded therein. At least one pump and tubing is provided for circulating the cooling fluid through the reservoir and the cooling pad. In use, the cooling pad is applied to the skin of a patient with a fever.

Methods, systems and devices for enhancing sleep, including enhancing the quality of sleep, reducing sleep onset time, increasing total sleep time, treating insomnia, and/or treating other neurological disorders by non-invasive temperature regulation of the frontal cortex prior to and/or during sleep. Described herein are thermal applicators that include phase change materials and/or evaporative cooling, as well as headgear for securing the applicators comfortably against the appropriate region of the user's head.

A personal thermal regulating device (PTRD) typically includes a heat generating device, a power source, a switchable control operably coupled with each of the heat generating device and the power source, and a head retention device coupled with the heat generating device and configured to retain the heat generating device positioned centrally at and in thermally conductive contact with a user's forehead. The present invention affects a tangible warming of the extremities, particularly the hands and feet, extending retention of manual dexterity and peripheral comfort under cold conditions.

“Nicy Migraine Hugger”, will help assist the many millions of people, who suffer from pains, associated with headaches and migraines, until they are able to reach a more permanent solution. The hugger's pressure and coolness, works together to reach the main nerve points of the head, where the pain from headaches and migraines are. It fits nicely around the whole hairline, and will fit under or on top of the hair.The hugger is comfortable, because it is supported by four pouches, located under the flexible liner. The liner can be bended, which makes it possible for it to be turned into many directions. Since this product is flexible, it will package easily, in addition, it weighs only a few ounces, therefore making is less expensive to ship. The total expenses to make this hugger is a comparable advantage, because the average consumer will benefit as they will be able to afford to own one.

This present invention is for cooling the forehead, face and armpit of a person or imparting cool feeling.The cooling member comprises a water-absorbing material sheet sandwiched between a flexible planar material provided with a ventilation means, having an adequate hardness, and capable of holding its shape, capable of being bent in a predetermined direction and in the reverse direction a plurality of times, and having a curvature in the predetermined direction and backing cloth having a similar area and a means for dividing the water-absorbing material sheet into parts each having an adequate area corresponding to a vent in such a way that water absorbed in the water absorbing material sheet does not flow out easily into adjacent parts and is used for cooling by allowing the water absorbing material sheet to absorb water and by using its heat of evaporation to cool the surroundings.The cooling member constitutes a brim portion of a hat, a sun visor or the like, or a pad portion for the forehead, face or armpit of the person and provides a means for imparting a cool feeling to each heat generating portion of the human body.As preparation for use, the cooling member is dipped into water and bent by applying a force reversely to the curvature in the predetermined direction. Consequently, excess water and water drops are squeezed out easily and uniformly with only the cooling member without wetting the hand of the person.
摘要:
An evaporative cooling band device adapted to be positioned upon a user's body, the apparatus comprising: a horizontally disposed band formed in a circular configuration, the band including a hose with a plurality of apertures and a moisture absorbing covering, the hose having two free ends, a Y-shaped tube connector being coupled to the free ends of the hose.
摘要:
A band of textile material is disclosed containing a pocket with an opening for receiving and storing a bag of freezable liquid or semi-liquid material. The band has an elastic or adjustable means associated with it for maintaining the pocket and the bag contained therein in direct contractive engagement with the part of the anatomy to be cooled.
