Temperature Control Head Covering and System

Abstract

A temperature control head covering and system provides for a knit cap, a knit cap with flap, a headband and other elements that provide for one or more temperature controlling elements disposed on the head covering's interior, such as but not limited to a removable or built-in temperature control pack such as an ice pack or heat pack area contained within an inside pocket within an inside liner disposed on the inside of the head covering. The present invention's inside pocket may be configured to permanently or removeably hold a temperature control pack. In some embodiments, the present invention's inside pocket may run the full length or perimeter of the hats, or in other embodiments can be limited to a particular size or placement so as to focus on an affected or specific area.

Problems solved by technology

This could be due to cranium discomfort caused by trauma or an internal imbalance, or it could be due to a person craving the soothing effect that a properly applied source of heat or cold can have on a person' head.

Unfortunately, applying heat or cold to the head of one's self or another generally requires effort to hold the heat or cold source in place.

Sometimes, however, persons go to great lengths to bandage a heat or cold source onto a head.

While this disclosure does generally provide for a hat having heat or cold dispersion properties, this disclosure fails to provide any specificity with which the soothing elements may be dispersed, such as removably locating the heating or cooling item in a hat's liner.

While this disclosure does generally provide for removable temperature adjusting elements, it fails to provide such elements at the brow or otherwise in a hat's liner.

As can be seen, various attempts have been made to solve the problems which may be found in the related art but have been unsuccessful.
