Benefits of technology

[0011] The band is made of a durable material that allows the coolness of the interior ice to escape, yet is thick enough to protect the user's skin from possible ice burn. Once frozen the ice pack will keep a cool temperature for several hours before all of the ice is melted and it should be refrozen. The cooling band can be manufactured in separate wrist sizes, or in alternate embodiments the band can be manufactured to stretch to fit...

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The present invention is a cooling band having an insert for an ice pack. The ice pack insert can be filled with any freezable liquid such as water. The present invention is therefore comprised of a cooling band (10), hollow member (20) which holds the ice pack insert (30) on the interior side of the band (10).

[0015] In FIG. 1, there is an environmental view of the cooling band (10). The cooling band (10) has a hollow member (20) on the interior side of the band (10). Preferably, the hollow member (20) and ice pack insert (30) extend ⅓ the length of the entire band (10). The ice pack insert (30) is pre-filled and sealed before purchase, rectangular in shape, and an inch to an inch and a half wide and four inches in length. Preferably, it is made of the same material as the cooling band (10) but is a little thinner and it prevents the ice from creating an ice burn on the user. The ice pack insert (30) can be filled with water and frozen to activate the cooling properties of t...

Abstract

A cooling band having a hollow member capable of receiving an ice pack insert for holding a frozen liquid such as water. The cooling band has an ice pack insert with a freezable liquid and the user can freeze the insert for cooling purposes. The cooling band, in a different embodiment, comes with a stopwatch that is fixedly mounted on the band. The cooling band is stretchable, so any size wrist can use the cooling band. The stretchable band allows the user to slide the cooling band over the hand to the wrist. The cooling band is used to cool the user on a hot day by placing the ice pack insert over the veins of the wrist.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is a sweatband with an ice pack insert with cooling capacity for hot weather wear. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Athletes and outdoor workers face the elements of being outside and participating in strenuous activity. During summer months, this can lead to severe dehydration and heat stroke without proper care during physical activity. Many athletes and outdoor workers use ice, wet cloths, and cooling packs to keep themselves at comfortable temperatures during the heat of the day. Also cooling packs can be used to relieve pain and swelling from sports related or chronic muscle and joint injuries. [0003] There are bracelets on the market that have gel packets so that the user may freeze the gel and the bracelet is cool for a set amount of time. Gel packets have an inherent problem due to rupture after repeated freezing. There are also sweatband type bracelets made of terry cloth material that can be moistened and worn. However ...
