Abstract
Abstract A solid emdothermic reactant is distributed in flexible tubes adapted to fit body contour. Means are provided to fix the solid endothermic reactant in evenly distributed spots in the coils. The tubes are adapted to be worn like a vest in close proximity to body surfaces. When a cooling effect is desired water is added to the tubes to initiate the endothermic cooling reactions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A disposable wearable cooling device said device consist of a network of inter-communicating containers, said containers adapted to fit body contour, a solid component which induces an endothermic reaction when mixed with water distributed in said containers, means to fix said solid component in pre-determined locations in said containers to obtain an even distribution of said solid component in said containers, and a reversible communication of said containers with the outside environment to allow the addition of water to said solid endothermic component.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A disposable wearable cooling device said device consist of a network of inter-communicating containers, said containers adapted to fit body contour, a solid component which induces an endothermic reaction when mixed with water distributed in said containers, means to fix said solid component in pre-determined locations in said containers to obtain an even distribution of said solid component in said containers, and a reversible communication of said containers with the outside environment to allow the addition of water to said solid endothermic component.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The invention as described in claim 1 and including a portable source of water.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The invention as described in claim 1 wherein said means to localize said solid in said coils consist of pockets to hold said solid component.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The invention as described in claim 3 and including barriers which prevent the passage of a solid from said pockets but allows passage of liquids to said pockets.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The invention as described in claim 1 and including means to place said body cooler in close proximity to body surfaces.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The invention as described in claim 1 wherein said containers are flexible and inlude means to stretch said flexible containers.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
68 words
An endothermic cooling mixture consisting of at least one solid and one liquid component, said solid component distributed in a network of inter-communicating containers, means to localize said solid component in pre-determined locations in said containers, means to place said liquid reactant outside of said containers, and a reversible communication of said containers with the outside environment to allow a mixing of said solid and said liquid reactants.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
68 words
An endothermic cooling mixture consisting of at least one solid and one liquid component, said solid component distributed in a network of inter-communicating containers, means to localize said solid component in pre-determined locations in said containers, means to place said liquid reactant outside of said containers, and a reversible communication of said containers with the outside environment to allow a mixing of said solid and said liquid reactants.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
The invention as described in claim 7 wherein said containers are adapted to fit body contour.
