Problems solved by technology

[0005] The devices disclosed in the aforementioned patents have the disadvantage that the cooling of the garment and its user relies on the incorporation within said garment of a network of channels through which a cooling substance circulates
This device includes a number of disadvantages, such as that the outer garment is rather stiff and any breakage within the outer garment affects the mesh piping, rendering the cooling device ineffective
Furthermore, it has to be taken into account that breakage of the mesh, leakage of cooling fluid and, the properties of the type of substances used, may include serious dangers for the user of the equipment
[0006] Another disadvantage of the devices disclosed in the North American patent is that these devices are not suitable for use with very low temperature cooling liquids, since in said devices the cooling liquid comes into contact with the wearer of the garment

Embodiment Construction

[0033] FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the device 1 of the invention worn on the body of any user, comprising a garment 2 and a plurality of tanks 3 with liquid nitrogen 4 arranged on said garment 2 . The garment 2 comprises a layer of conductive fabric, not shown, having a thermal conductivity suitable to conduct heat by contact to the liquid nitrogen 4 stored in said tank 3 .

[0034] Each of said tanks 3 comprises a metal piece 5 in contact with said layer of conductive fabric, which conducts heat to the cooling liquid stored in the tank 3 . The metal part 5 comprises a plate 6 in contact with the conductive fabric and an elbow-shaped solid rod 7 arranged between the plate 6 and the layer of conductive fabric.

[0035] Fig. 2 shows a cross-section of a tank 3 and metal part 5 in Fig. 1, as can be seen in Fig. Once converted to gas it is released through valve 9 . The nitrogen 4 in gaseous phase accumulates in the upper part of the tank 3 and therefore a pipe 10 is ...

Abstract

Device (1) for cooling a body, which comprises a garment (2) in contact with said body, a coolant for cooling said garment (2) and means of storing said coolant, and is characterised in that said garment (2) includes a layer of conductive fabric with a thermal conductivity suitable for transmitting by contact the head to said coolant stored in said storage means. The device possesses high coolant power, since it permits the use of coolant substances at very low temperature, adapts easily to the body on which it is applied and is very safe.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for cooling a body, in particular a human body, comprising a garment in contact with said body and a cooling liquid for cooling said garment. Background technique [0002] A device known in the art for cooling a human body includes a garment in contact with the body and a mesh pipeline integrated in the garment, and a cooling liquid or a substance capable of absorbing a large amount of heat circulates through the pipeline. [0003] US Pat. No. 5,438,707 discloses a device for cooling comprising a garment with very small diameter mesh tubing comprising a plurality of small openings. The cooling system is based on the input of compressed gas, preferably air or carbon dioxide, from the network of pipes and rapid expansion of the compressed gas through small openings in the tubes. Once expanded, the gas cools and through expansion, the air adjacent to the body cools as well. The cooling effect caused by the expansion of ...
