[0004] The cooling garment of Patent Document 1 is configured so that frozen plastic bottles are directly inserted into and removed from a reservoir containing a fluid, but there is room for further improvement in this configuration. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A container according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes an exterior, a first partition, an inlet, an outlet, and an inlet / outlet. The exterior has a storage space in which a fluid and a first temperature regulator that regulates the temperature of the fluid are stored. The first partition divides the storage space into a first storage space in which the fluid is stored and a second storage space in which the first temperature regulator is stored. The inlet is for the fluid to flow into the first storage space from a circulation flow path body that circulates the fluid. The outlet is for the fluid to flow out of the first storage space into the circulation flow path body. The inlet / outlet is for the first temperature regulator to be inserted into and removed from the second storage space. Effect of the Invention

[0006] The risk of the fluid leaking out of the container when the first temperature control body is inserted into or removed from the second storage space is reduced. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, the container, the container with a circulation flow path body, the temperature control device, and the temperature control set of the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, for the convenience of explanation, each of the drawings referred to below shows only the main members necessary for explaining each embodiment in a simplified form. Therefore, the container etc. of the present disclosure may include any component member not shown in each of the drawings referred to.

[0009] 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams showing an example of a temperature adjustment set 1. The temperature adjustment set 1 can adjust the temperature of a person, for example. The temperature adjustment set 1 can adjust the temperature of a person (in other words, the human body) by cooling the person, for example. The temperature adjustment set 1 can also be called, for example, a heat transfer set or a heat transfer system. The temperature adjustment set 1 that cools a person 100 can also be called a cooling set or a cooling system. The temperature adjustment set 1 is attached to a person, for example. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which the temperature adjustment set 1 is attached to a person 100.

[0010] 1 to 3, the temperature adjustment set 1 includes, for example, a contact body 2 that comes into contact with a person 100, and a temperature adjustment device 3. The temperature adjustment set 1 also includes, for example, a battery 8 and a pump 9 (see FIG. 1).

[0011] The contact body 2 is, for example, clothing. The clothing as the contact body 2 (also referred to as clothing 2) may be a jacket or pants. In the examples of Figures 1 to 3, the clothing is a vest, but clothing other than a vest may also be used. Figure 2 shows the clothing 2 shown in Figure 1 as viewed from the opposite side.

[0012] 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a temperature adjustment device 3, a battery 8, and a pump 9. The temperature adjustment device 3 is capable of adjusting the temperature of the person 100, for example. The temperature adjustment device 3 is capable of adjusting the temperature of the person 100 by cooling the person 100 (in other words, the human body), for example. The temperature adjustment device 3 can also be said to be, for example, a heat transfer device. Furthermore, the temperature adjustment device 3 that cools the person 100 can also be said to be a cooling device. The temperature adjustment device 3 is provided in the clothes 2, for example.

[0013] The temperature adjustment device 3 includes, for example, a container 4, a fluid 7 and a temperature adjustment body 6 contained in the container 4, and a circulation channel body 5 for circulating the fluid 7. The container 4 and the circulation channel body 5 are provided in the garment 2, for example.

[0014] The circulation flow channel body 5 is, for example, a long and thin member, and has a flow channel (also called a circulation flow channel) through which the fluid 7 flows. The circulation flow channel body 5 may be, for example, a tube as shown in Figures 1 to 4, or may be a member of another shape. Both ends of the circulation flow channel body 5 are connected to the container 4.

[0015] The circulation flow channel body 5 is attached to, for example, the garment 2 as shown in Figs. 1 to 3. Specifically, the circulation flow channel body 5 is attached to, for example, the inner surface of the garment 2 (in other words, the surface facing the person 100). The circulation flow channel body 5 is attached in a serpentine manner to, for example, the inner surface of the back body 20 of the garment 2 and the inner surface of the front body 25 of the garment 2. The location where the circulation flow channel body 5 is attached is not limited to the example shown in Figs. 1 to 3. Furthermore, the shape of the circulation flow channel body 5 attached to the garment 2 is not limited to the example shown in Figs. 1 to 3.

[0016] The fluid 7 is, for example, a liquid. The liquid as the fluid 7 may be, for example, water or salt water.

[0017] The temperature regulator 6 is capable of adjusting the temperature of the fluid 7. The temperature regulator 6 is capable of adjusting the temperature of the fluid 7, for example, by cooling the fluid 7. The temperature regulator 6 is, for example, a hard-type, plate-shaped ice pack. The temperature regulator 6 is used after being cooled, for example, in a refrigerator or the like.

[0018] The temperature regulator 6 is not limited to the above example. For example, the temperature regulator 6 may be a rod-shaped hard-type ice pack, a soft-type flat ice pack, ice, or a frozen plastic bottle.

[0019] The container 4 includes, for example, a flat bag-shaped exterior 40. The fluid 7 and the temperature regulating body 6 are contained within the exterior 40. The exterior 40 has, for example, a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view.

[0020] The container 4 has an entrance / exit 480 for inserting and removing the temperature regulating body 6 into and from the container 4. For example, the entrance / exit 480 is provided on an outer periphery 495 of the exterior 40. In this example, the outer periphery 495 is partially opened, and the open portion constitutes the entrance / exit 480. The temperature regulating body 6 is inserted into the container 4 through the entrance / exit 480 and accommodated therein, as shown in FIG. The temperature regulating body 6 in the container 4 cools the fluid 7 in the container 4. The temperature regulating body 6 is accommodated in the exterior 40 such that its thickness direction is aligned with the thickness direction of the exterior 40.

[0021] 5, the connection parts 491 and 492 are omitted. Moreover, in the drawings showing the container 4 described below, the connection parts 491 and 492 are omitted, similarly to FIG.

[0022] 4, the container 4 has an inlet 481 through which the fluid 7 flows from the circulation flow path body 5 into the exterior 40, and an outlet 482 through which the fluid 7 flows from the exterior 40 to the circulation flow path body 5. The fluid 7 in the circulation flow path body 5 flows into the exterior 40 through the inlet 481. The fluid 7 in the exterior 40 flows out to the circulation flow path body 5 through the outlet 482.

[0023] The inlet 481 is provided with a hollow connection part 491 to which one end of the circulation flow path body 5 is connected. The internal space of the connection part 491 is connected to the inlet 481. The circulation flow path body 5 has, at one end thereof, a hollow connection part 51 connected to the connection part 491. The connection part 51 is, for example, detachable from the connection part 491. This allows the one end of the circulation flow path body 5 to be detachable from the container 4. The connection part 51 may be, for example, screw-fitted to the connection part 491. When the connection part 51 is connected to the connection part 491, the internal space of the connection part 51 is connected to the internal space of the connection part 491. The fluid 7 in the circulation flow path body 5 flows into the exterior 40 through the connection part 51, the connection part 491, and the inlet 481.

[0024] The outlet 482 is provided with a hollow connection part 492 to which the other end of the circulation flow path body 5 is connected. The internal space of the connection part 492 is connected to the outlet 482. The circulation flow path body 5 is provided with a hollow connection part 52 connected to the connection part 492 at the other end. The connection part 52 is, for example, detachable from the connection part 492. This allows the other end of the circulation flow path body 5 to be detachable from the container 4. The connection part 52 may be, for example, screw-fitted to the connection part 492. When the connection part 52 is connected to the connection part 492, the internal space of the connection part 52 is connected to the internal space of the connection part 492. The fluid 7 in the container 4 flows out from the exterior 40 to the circulation flow path body 5 through the outlet 482, the connection part 492, and the connection part 52.

[0025] The connection method between the connection portion 51 and the connection portion 491 is not limited to thread fitting. Moreover, the connection method between the connection portion 52 and the connection portion 492 is not limited to thread fitting. Moreover, one end of the circulation flow path body 5 may be connected to the container 4 in an undetachable manner. Moreover, the other end of the circulation flow path body 5 may be connected to the container 4 in an undetachable manner.

[0026] The pump 9 can circulate the fluid 7 in the container 4 and the circulation flow path body 5. The position of the pump 9 is not particularly limited, but for example, the pump 9 is located midway through the circulation flow path body 5. It can also be said that the circulation flow path body 5 is connected to the pump 9. The pump 9 is connected to a battery 8. The pump 9 operates based on power supplied from the battery 8. The battery 8 may be rechargeable or non-rechargeable.

[0027] The garment 2 has two pockets 21 and 22, for example, on the outer surface of the back body 20. The opening of the pocket 21 can be opened and closed, for example, by a strip fastener 21a. Similarly, the opening of the pocket 22 can be opened and closed, for example, by a strip fastener 22a.

[0028] The container 4 containing the fluid 7 and the temperature regulator 6 is housed in, for example, a pocket 21. The pocket 21 can also be said to be a housing unit that houses the container 4. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the container 4 is housed in the pocket 21 so that, for example, its opening 480 faces the neck side of the garment 2, in other words, the head side of the person 100 wearing the garment 2. The container 4 is housed in the pocket 21 so that, for example, the thickness direction of the flat bag-shaped exterior 40 is aligned with the thickness direction of the back body 20 of the garment 2 (in other words, the thickness direction of the person 100 wearing the garment 2). The container 4 can be taken in and out of the pocket 21. The battery 8 and the pump 9 are housed in, for example, a pocket 22. The battery 8 and the pump 9 can be taken in and out of, for example, the pocket 22.

[0029] In the temperature adjustment set 1 having the above-mentioned configuration, the fluid 7 cooled by the temperature regulator 6 in the container 4 flows out from the container 4 to the circulation channel body 5 by the action of the pump 9. Then, the fluid 7 flows through the attached circulation channel body 5 and returns to the container 4 by the action of the pump 9. The body of the person 100 wearing the garment 2 is cooled by the cold fluid 7 flowing through the circulation channel body 5 attached to the garment 2. When the fluid 7 flows through the circulation channel body 5, the heat of the body of the person 100 is transferred to the fluid 7, and the temperature of the fluid 7 rises. The fluid 7 that returns from the circulation channel body 5 to the container 4 is cooled again by the temperature regulator 6 in the container 4, and the cooled fluid 7 flows out from the container 4 to the circulation channel body 5, and then returns again from the circulation channel body 5 to the container 4. In this way, the fluid 7 circulates through the container 4 containing the temperature regulator 6 that cools the fluid 7 and the circulation channel body 5, and the body of the person 100 is continuously cooled by the temperature adjustment device 3 (in other words, by the temperature adjustment set 1).

[0030] The container 4 and the circulation channel body 5 may be collectively referred to as a container 11 with a circulation channel body (see FIG. 4). In this case, the container 11 with a circulation channel body includes the container 4 and the circulation channel body 5 for circulating the fluid 7 accommodated in the container 4.

[0031] Furthermore, the circulation channel body 5 may not be included in the temperature adjustment device 3 and may be regarded as a separate entity from the temperature adjustment device 3. Furthermore, the fluid 7 may not be included in the temperature adjustment device 3 and may be regarded as a separate entity from the temperature adjustment device 3.

[0032] The battery 8 may be considered to be included in the temperature adjustment device 3. The pump 9 may also be considered to be included in the temperature adjustment device 3.

[0033] The temperature adjusting body 6 may not be included in the temperature adjustment set 1 and may be considered as a separate body from the temperature adjustment set 1. In this case, for example, a user who has acquired the temperature adjustment set 1 may purchase the temperature adjusting body 6 at a home improvement store, a drug store, or the like. Also, the fluid 7 may not be included in the temperature adjustment set 1 and may be considered as a separate body from the temperature adjustment set 1. In this case, for example, a user who has acquired the temperature adjustment set 1 may put the fluid 7 into the container 4 by himself.

[0034] <Detailed explanation of container configuration examples> Next, a detailed description will be given of an example of the configuration of the container 4. In the following, the garment 2 in which the container 4 housing the temperature regulator 6 is housed in the pocket 21 may be referred to as garment 2 with regulator and container.

[0035] Furthermore, for the sake of convenience, in the following description, when the person 100 is wearing the adjusting body and the garment with container 2, the head side of the person 100 of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 will be referred to as the upper side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6, and the foot side of the person 100 of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 will be referred to as the lower side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6. In other words, the upper side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 means the head side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 of the person 100 when the adjusting body and the garment with container 2 are worn by the person 100, and the lower side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 means the foot side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 of the person when the adjusting body and the garment with container 2 are worn by the person 100.

[0036] For ease of explanation, the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction of the container 4 and the thickness direction of the flat bag-shaped exterior 40 is referred to as the lateral direction (also referred to as the left-right direction) of the container 4, and the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction of the temperature regulating body 6 and the thickness direction of the temperature regulating body 6 is referred to as the lateral direction (also referred to as the left-right direction) of the temperature regulating body 6. The thickness direction of the exterior 40 can also be referred to as the thickness direction of the container 4.

[0037] Also, for ease of explanation, when a person 100 is wearing the adjusting body and the garment 2 with the container, the left arm side of the person 100 on which the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 are located will be referred to as the left side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6, and the right arm side of the person 100 on which the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6 are located will be referred to as the right side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6.

[0038] For ease of explanation, when the person 100 is wearing the adjusting body and the garment with the container 2, the side of the exterior 40 and the temperature adjusting body 6 that is closer to the person 100 in the thickness direction is defined as the back side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6, and the side opposite to the back side is defined as the front side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6. In other words, the front side and the back side when the adjusting body and the garment with the container 2 are viewed from the back side are defined as the front side and the back side of the container 4 and the temperature adjusting body 6, respectively.

[0039] Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 are schematic plan views showing an example of the container 4. Fig. 6 shows an example of the container 4 as viewed from the front side, and Fig. 7 shows an example of the container 4 as viewed from the back side. Fig. 8 is a schematic view showing an enlarged example of the cross-sectional structure along the arrow AA shown in Fig. 6. In Fig. 8, the outer shape of the temperature regulator 6 when it is contained in the container 4 is shown by a dashed line. Also, in Fig. 8, the space in the container 4 where the fluid 7 is contained is shown with diagonal lines.

[0040] The inlet 481 and the outlet 482 of the container 4 open, for example, toward the side of the container 4. For example, the inlet 481 opens toward the right side (in other words, toward the right arm of the person 100), and the outlet 482 opens toward the left side (in other words, toward the left arm of the person 100). The inlet 481 is located on the right side of the container 4, and the outlet 482 is located on the left side of the container 4. The inlet 481 is located on the right edge of the outer periphery 495 of the exterior 40, and the outlet 482 is located on the left edge of the outer periphery 495 of the exterior 40. The inlet 481 and the outlet 482 face each other in the left-right direction. The opening area of ​​the outlet 482 is, for example, larger than the opening area of ​​the inlet 481.

[0041] The attachment / detachment direction 51a (see FIG. 4) of the connection part 51 of the circulation flow path body 5 to the connection part 491 of the container 4 is a direction along the horizontal direction (in other words, the left-right direction). Similarly, the attachment / detachment direction 52a (see FIG. 4) of the connection part 52 of the circulation flow path body 5 to the connection part 492 of the container 4 is a direction along the horizontal direction (in other words, the left-right direction). The circulation flow path body 5 is pulled out from the container 4 in the horizontal direction. The circulation flow path body 5 is pulled out to the right side from the connection part 491 of the container 4, and pulled out to the left side from the connection part 492 of the container 4.

[0042] In addition, the inlet 481 may open toward the left side, and the outlet 482 may open toward the right side. In this case, the inlet 481 may be located on the left side of the container 4, and the outlet 482 may be located on the right side of the container 4. The opening area of ​​the outlet 482 may be the same as the opening area of ​​the inlet 481, or may be smaller than the opening area of ​​the inlet 481.

[0043] The entrance / exit 480 of the container 4 opens, for example, toward the upper side (in other words, toward the head side of the person 100). The temperature adjusting device 6 is inserted into the container 4 from above. The entrance / exit 480 is located, for example, above the inlet 481 and the outlet 482.

[0044] The exterior 40 is, for example, in the shape of a flat bag that expands in the up-down and left-right directions. The entrance / exit 480 is located, for example, at the upper edge of an outer periphery 495 of the exterior 40. The upper edge of the outer periphery 495 is open, and the opening at the upper edge of the outer periphery 495 constitutes the entrance / exit 480. The exterior 40 has a storage space 400 (see FIG. 8 ) in which the fluid 7 and the temperature regulating body 6 are stored. The internal space of the flat bag-shaped exterior 40 constitutes the storage space 400.

[0045] The container 4 also includes a partition 41 (also referred to as the first partition 41) that divides the accommodation space 400 into a first accommodation space 410 (also referred to as the fluid accommodation space 410) in which the fluid 7 is accommodated and a second accommodation space 420 (also referred to as the temperature regulator accommodation space 420) in which the temperature regulator 6 is accommodated. The fluid accommodation space 410 is not connected to the regulator accommodation space 420. The partition 41 can make it difficult for the fluid 7 accommodated in the fluid accommodation space 410 to enter the regulator accommodation space 420. The entrance / exit 480 is connected to the regulator accommodation space 420. For example, the upper end of the regulator accommodation space 420 is open, and the opening at the upper end of the regulator accommodation space 420 constitutes the entrance / exit 480.

[0046] The fluid storage space 410 constitutes an internal flow path 410a provided in the container 4, for example, through which the fluid 7 flows. The internal flow path 410a meanders, for example, along the inner surface of the exterior 40. It can also be said that the internal flow path 410a is bent in a zigzag shape. The fluid 7 flows in a meandering manner within the internal flow path 410a. In Figures 6 and 7, the outline of the fluid storage space 410 is indicated by a dashed line, and the direction 70 in which the fluid 7 flows (also referred to as the flow direction 70) is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

[0047] In this example, for example, when the container 4 is seen through in a plan view from the front or back side, the temperature control body 6 in the container 4 overlaps with the internal flow path 410a that the fluid storage space 410 constitutes.

[0048] The fluid storage space 410 includes, for example, a plurality of storage spaces that store the fluid 7. The fluid storage space 410 includes, for example, two storage spaces 413 and 414 that are connected to each other. For example, the storage space 413 is located on the front side, and the storage space 414 is located on the back side. Hereinafter, the storage space 413 located on the front side will be referred to as the front-side storage space 413. Also, the storage space 414 located on the back side will be referred to as the back-side storage space 414.

[0049] The front storage space 413 and the rear storage space 414 sandwich the temperature regulating body storage space 420. When a temperature regulating body 6 is stored in the regulating body storage space 420, the front storage space 413 and the rear storage space 414 sandwich the temperature regulating body 6. The rear storage space 414 is located closer to the person 100 wearing the garment 2 than the front storage space 413.

[0050] The front storage space 413 and the rear storage space 414 are connected to, for example, the inlet 481 and the outlet 482, respectively. The front storage space 413 and the rear storage space 414 are connected to, for example, the side of the regulator storage space 420. For example, the front storage space 413 and the rear storage space 414 are connected to the right of the regulator storage space 420 and at the bottom of the container 4. A connection point 415 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) between the front storage space 413 and the rear storage space 414 is located to the right of the regulator storage space 420 and at the bottom of the container 4. The connection point 415 can also be said to be a boundary between the front storage space 413 and the rear storage space 414.

[0051] The fluid 7 flowing through the circulation channel body 5 flows into the front storage space 413 from the inlet 481, and then flows from the front storage space 413 to the back storage space 414 through a connection point 415 located on the side and underside of the container 4. The fluid 7 then flows out of the circulation channel body 5 from the outlet 482 connected to the back storage space 414.

[0052] The front-side accommodation space 413 constitutes, for example, an internal flow path 413a (also referred to as a front-side internal flow path 413a) provided in the container 4 through which the fluid 7 flows. The front-side internal flow path 413a meanders, for example, along the inner surface of the front-side portion 40a of the exterior 40. The front-side internal flow path 413a extends in a meandering manner from the upper end to the lower end (in other words, from the lower end to the upper end) in the front-side accommodation space 413. When the front-side internal flow path 413a is viewed from the top to the bottom, the front-side internal flow path 413a extends from the right-side inlet 481 to the left, then from the left to the right, then from the right to the left, and repeats this until it reaches the connection point 415 at the right lower end of the container 4. When the container 4 is seen through in a plan view from the front or back side, the temperature adjusting body 6 in the container 4 overlaps with the front-side internal flow path 413a.

[0053] The backside storage space 414 constitutes, for example, an internal flow path 414a (also referred to as a backside internal flow path 414a) provided in the container 4 through which the fluid 7 flows. The backside internal flow path 414a meanders, for example, along the inner surface of the backside portion 40b of the exterior 40. The backside internal flow path 414a extends in a meandering manner from the upper end to the lower end (in other words, from the lower end to the upper end) in the backside storage space 414. The lower end of the backside storage space 414 is connected to the lower end of the frontside storage space 413. When the backside internal flow path 414a is viewed from the bottom to the top, the backside internal flow path 414a extends from the connection point 415 at the right lower end of the container 4 to the left, then from the left side to the right, then from the right side to the left, and repeats this until it reaches the outlet 482 on the left side of the container 4. When the container 4 is seen through from the front or back side, the temperature control body 6 in the container 4 overlaps with the back-side internal flow path 414a. In this example, the back-side internal flow path 414a meanders more finely than the front-side internal flow path 413a, but it may meander in the same manner as the front-side internal flow path 413a.

[0054] The fluid 7 flowing in from the inlet 481 located at the top of the container 4 flows in a meandering manner from the top to the bottom in the front storage space 413 (see FIG. 6). The fluid 7 then flows from the front storage space 413 into the back storage space 414, and flows in the back storage space 414 from the bottom to the top (see FIG. 7). The fluid 7 then flows out from the outlet 482 located at the top of the container 4.

[0055] The exterior 40 is formed, for example, from one sheet member 450. Moreover, the partition section 41 is configured from one sheet member 460. FIG.

[0056] Each of the sheet members 450 and 460 is made of a resin sheet having high flexibility and elasticity, such as a polyurethane sheet. The sheet member 450 includes, for example, a first sheet portion 451 constituting the front side portion 40a of the exterior 40, and a second sheet portion 452 connected to the first sheet portion 451 and constituting the back side portion 40b of the exterior 40. The sheet member 450 is folded in two at a connection portion 453 between the first sheet portion 451 and the second sheet portion 452 so that the first sheet portion 451 and the second sheet portion 452 face each other, and then the peripheral portion of the first sheet portion 451 and the peripheral portion of the second sheet portion 452 are joined to form the exterior 40.

[0057] The sheet member 460 functions as the partition portion 41 by being joined to the sheet member 450. The fluid storage space 410 (in other words, the internal flow path 410a) is composed of the sheet member 450 and the sheet member 460. The sheet member 460 includes a first sheet portion 461 joined to the first sheet portion 451 of the sheet member 450, and a second sheet portion 462 connected to the first sheet portion 461 and joined to the second sheet portion 452 of the sheet member 450.

[0058] 10, for example, the sheet member 460 is placed on the sheet member 450 such that the first sheet portion 461 and the second sheet portion 462 of the sheet member 460 are placed on the first sheet portion 451 and the second sheet portion 452 of the sheet member 450, respectively. Thereafter, a predetermined portion of the sheet member 460 is joined to the sheet member 450, whereby the sheet member 460 and the sheet member 450 form a fluid storage space 410 (in other words, an internal flow path 410a). Furthermore, the sheet member 460 and the sheet member 450 form an inlet 481 and an outlet 482.

[0059] Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a joint 470 between sheet members 460 and 450. In Fig. 11, the joint 470 is indicated by diagonal lines slanting downward to the right. Also, in Fig. 11, a fluid storage space 410 (in other words, an internal flow path 410a) in which the fluid 7 is stored is indicated by diagonal lines slanting upward to the right. Also, Fig. 11 shows a direction 70 in which the fluid 7 flows in the fluid storage space 410. The sheet members 460 and 450 may be joined by, for example, welding, bonding using an adhesive, or other methods.

[0060] The first sheet portion 451 of the sheet member 450 and the first sheet portion 461 of the sheet member 460 form the front-side storage space 413 (in other words, the front-side internal flow path 413a). The first sheet portion 451 and the first sheet portion 461 form an inlet 481. It can be said that the inlet 481 is formed by the front portion 40a of the exterior 40 and the partition portion 41.

[0061] The second sheet portion 452 of the sheet member 450 and the second sheet portion 462 of the sheet member 460 form a rear-side storage space 414 (in other words, a rear-side internal flow path 414a). The second sheet portion 452 and the second sheet portion 462 form an outlet 482. It can be said that the outlet 482 is formed by the rear portion 40b of the exterior 40 and the partition portion 41.

[0062] FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a joint between a first sheet portion 451 of a sheet member 450 and a second sheet portion 452 of a sheet member 450. In FIG. 12, a joint portion 451a between the first sheet portion 451 and the second sheet portion 452 is indicated by a diagonal line that slopes downward to the right. Also, in FIG. 12, a joint portion 452a between the second sheet portion 452 and the first sheet portion 451 is indicated by a diagonal line that slopes upward to the right. After the sheet member 450 is folded in two, the joint portion 451a and the joint portion 452a are joined to each other, thereby completing the exterior 40. The first sheet portion 451 and the second sheet portion 452 may be joined by welding, using an adhesive, or by another method, for example.

[0063] The shape of the front-side storage space 413 is not limited to the above example. For example, the front-side storage space 413 may be a space that spreads in a planar manner in the vertical and horizontal directions, instead of an elongated flow path. In this case, when the container 4 is seen through in a plan view from the front side, the area of ​​the front-side storage space 413 may be larger than the area of ​​the temperature regulating body 6. In addition, the shape of the storage space 414 is not limited to the above example. For example, the storage space 414 may be a space that spreads in a planar manner in the vertical and horizontal directions, instead of an elongated flow path. In this case, when the container 4 is seen through in a plan view from the back side, the area of ​​the back-side storage space 414 may be larger than the area of ​​the temperature regulating body 6. In addition, the fluid storage space 410 does not need to include either one of the storage spaces 413 and 414.

[0064] In the above example, the partition 41 is in the form of a sheet, but may be in the form of a bag. In this case, the temperature control body 6 may be accommodated in the bag-shaped partition 41, and the fluid 7 may be present around the outside of the bag-shaped partition 41.

[0065] In addition, the outlet 482 may be connected to the storage space 413, and the inlet 481 may be connected to the storage space 414. In other words, the outlet 482 may be formed by the first sheet portion 451 and the first sheet portion 461, and the inlet 481 may be formed by the second sheet portion 452 and the second sheet portion 462.

[0066] The temperature adjusting body 6 accommodated in the adjusting body accommodating space 420 may be in contact with the partitioning portion 41 (in other words, the sheet member 460) as shown in Fig. 8. The partitioning portion 41 may be in contact with the end portion and the center portion of the temperature adjusting body 6, for example.

[0067] Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a contact area 61a on the front surface 61 of the temperature adjusting unit 6 that comes into contact with the partition section 41. Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a contact area 62a on the back surface 62 of the temperature adjusting unit 6 that comes into contact with the partition section 41.

[0068] In this example, the partition 41 is in contact with, for example, the right end, the left end, and the center of the temperature adjusting body 6. For example, the partition 41 is in contact with the right end and the center of the front surface 61 of the temperature adjusting body 6, and is in contact with the right end, the left end, and the center of the back surface 62 of the temperature adjusting body 6.

[0069] The partition 41 may be in surface contact with the temperature regulator 6. Here, surface contact means that the contact rate of the partition 41 with the temperature regulator 6 per unit area of, for example, 5 cm square, is 50% or more. For example, a part of the partition 41 may be in surface contact with a part of the temperature regulator 6. For example, when the temperature regulator 6 is accommodated in the adjuster accommodation space 420 so as to crush the front-side internal flow path 413a and the back-side internal flow path 414a, the partition 41 is in surface contact with the temperature regulator 6.

[0070] The partition 41 may be in point contact with the temperature regulator 6 or in line contact. The partition 41 may not be in contact with the temperature regulator 6. The partition 41 may be in contact with the upper end of the temperature regulator 6 or the lower end of the temperature regulator 6. The partition 41 may be in contact with only the center of the temperature regulator 6 or only the end of the temperature regulator 6. The partition 41 may be in contact with most or all of the surface 61 of the temperature regulator 6. For example, when the front storage space 413 is not an elongated flow path but is a space that spreads in a planar manner in the vertical and horizontal directions, the partition 41 (specifically, the first sheet portion 461) can be in contact with most or all of the surface 61 of the temperature regulator 6. The partition 41 may be in contact with most or all of the surface 62 of the back side of the temperature regulator 6. For example, if the rear storage space 414 is not a long and narrow flow path but a space that extends in a planar manner in the vertical and horizontal directions, the partition portion 41 (specifically, the second sheet portion 462) can come into contact with most or all of the area of ​​the rear surface 62 of the temperature regulating body 6.

[0071] In the above example, the temperature regulator 6 cools the fluid 7, but the temperature of the fluid 7 may be adjusted by heating the fluid 7. In this case, the temperature regulation set 1 and the temperature regulator 3 can warm the body of the person 100. As the temperature regulator 6 that heats the fluid 7, for example, a Peltier element or a heating wire may be adopted.

[0072] As described above, in this example, the storage space 400 in which the fluid 7 and the temperature regulator 6 are stored is divided by the partition 41 into a first storage space 410 in which the fluid 7 is stored and a second storage space 420 in which the temperature regulator 6 is stored. By dividing the first storage space 410 in which the fluid 7 is stored and the second storage space 420 in which the temperature regulator 6 is stored in this manner, the risk of the fluid 7 leaking out of the container 4 when the temperature regulator 6 is inserted into or removed from the second storage space 420 is reduced.

[0073] Furthermore, when the partition 41 is in surface contact with the temperature regulator 6, the portion of the fluid 7 in the container 4 that is close to the temperature regulator 6 can be enlarged. This improves the temperature regulation effect of the temperature regulator 6 on the fluid 7. For example, when the temperature regulator 6 cools the fluid 7, the cooling effect of the temperature regulator 6 on the fluid 7 is improved. Also, when the temperature regulator 6 heats the fluid 7, the heating effect of the temperature regulator 6 on the fluid 7 is improved.

[0074] Furthermore, when the partition 41 contacts at least the end and center of the temperature regulating body 6, the contact area between the partition 41 and the temperature regulating body 6 can be increased. This makes it possible to increase the area of ​​the fluid 7 in the container 4 that is close to the temperature regulating body 6, thereby improving the temperature regulating effect of the temperature regulating body 6 on the fluid 7.

[0075] In this example, since the second storage space 420 that stores the temperature regulator 6 is sandwiched between the storage space 413 that stores the fluid 7 and the storage space 414 that stores the fluid 7, the portion of the fluid 7 that is close to the temperature regulator 6 in the container 4 can be enlarged. This improves the temperature regulation effect of the temperature regulator 6 on the fluid 7.

[0076] In addition, in this example, since the accommodation space 414 is located closer to the person 100 than the accommodation space 413, the temperature-adjusted fluid 7 in the accommodation space 414 can be brought closer to the person 100. This makes it possible to adjust the temperature of the person 100 not only by the fluid 7 in the circulation flow path body 5 but also by the fluid 7 in the accommodation space 414.

[0077] Moreover, in this example, the fluid 7 flows into the front storage space 413 from the inlet 481, flows through the front storage space 413 into the rear storage space 414, flows through the rear storage space 414 and flows out from the outlet 482. As a result, the fluid 7 whose temperature has been adjusted in the front storage space 413 flows into the rear storage space 414 which is close to the person 100, improving the effect of adjusting the temperature of the person 100 by the fluid 7 in the rear storage space 414.

[0078] 11, in this example, the fluid 7 flows from the upper end to the lower end in the accommodation space 413, and flows from the lower end to the upper end in the accommodation space 414. This makes it possible to lengthen the time during which the temperature of the fluid 7 in the container 4 is adjusted by the temperature adjuster 6 (for example, the time during which it is cooled or heated). As a result, the temperature adjustment effect of the temperature adjuster 6 on the fluid 7 is improved.

[0079] In this example, the accommodation space 413 and the accommodation space 414 are connected to each other on the side of the adjuster accommodation space 420. As a result, for example, when the temperature adjuster 6 is inserted into or removed from the container 4 from above, the connection point 415 between the accommodation space 413 and the accommodation space 414 is less likely to interfere with the insertion and removal of the temperature adjuster 6 into or from the container 4.

[0080] In this example, the sheet member 460 functioning as the partition 41 is joined to the sheet member 450 functioning as the exterior 40, thereby forming a meandering internal flow path 410a between the sheet member 460 and the sheet member 450. Therefore, it can be said that a part of the surface (also called the outer surface) of the partition 41 on the fluid storage space 410 side is connected to the inner surface of the exterior 40. In this way, by connecting a part of the outer surface of the partition 41 to the inner surface of the exterior 40, when the fluid 7 is stored in the fluid storage space 410, for example, the exterior 40 is less likely to become large in its thickness direction. In other words, the container 4 is less likely to become large in its thickness direction.

[0081] In the above example, a part of the outer surface of the partition part 41 is connected to the inner surface of the exterior 40 by being joined to the inner surface of the exterior 40, but the method of connecting the part of the outer surface of the partition part 41 to the inner surface of the exterior 40 is not limited to this. For example, a wall-shaped connection part extending from the outer surface of the partition part 41 to the inner surface of the exterior 40 may be provided. Even if the front storage space 413 does not form a meandering internal flow path 413a but forms a planar space extending in the vertical and horizontal directions, a part of the surface of the partition part 41 on the front storage space 413 side may be connected to the inner surface of the front part 40a of the exterior 40. Even if the rear storage space 414 does not form a meandering internal flow path 414a but forms a planar space extending in the vertical and horizontal directions, a part of the surface of the partition part 41 on the rear storage space 414 side may be connected to the inner surface of the rear part 40b of the exterior 40.

[0082] The accommodation space 413 and the accommodation space 414 may be connected to each other below the regulator accommodation space 420. Figures 15 and 16 are schematic diagrams showing an example of the container 4 in which the accommodation space 413 and the accommodation space 414 are connected below the regulator accommodation space 420. Figure 15 corresponds to Figure 6, and Figure 16 corresponds to Figure 7. In the example of Figures 15 and 16, a connection point 415 between the accommodation space 413 (in other words, the front side internal flow path 413a) and the accommodation space 414 (in other words, the back side internal flow path 414a) is located below the regulator accommodation space 420.

[0083] As in the examples of Figures 15 and 16, when the storage space 413 and the storage space 414 are connected below the adjustment body storage space 420, for example, when the temperature adjustment body 6 is inserted or removed from the container 4 from above, the connection point 415 is less likely to interfere with the insertion or removal of the temperature adjustment body 6 into or from the container 4.

[0084] The direction in which the fluid 7 flows in the fluid storage space 410 is not limited to the above. For example, as shown in Figures 17 and 18, the fluid 7 may flow from the lower end to the upper end in the storage space 413, and from the upper end to the lower end in the storage space 414. Figure 17 corresponds to Figure 6, and Figure 18 corresponds to Figure 7.

[0085] 19 and 20, the fluid 7 may flow in a serpentine manner from the left end to the right end in the storage space 414, and may flow in a serpentine manner from the right end to the left end in the storage space 413. FIG. 19 corresponds to FIG. 6, and FIG. 20 corresponds to FIG. 7. In the example of FIGS. 19 and 20, the outlet 482 is connected to the storage space 413, and the inlet 481 is connected to the storage space 414. Moreover, the inlet 481 and the outlet 482 are both located on the left side of the container 4.

[0086] Furthermore, the internal flow path 410a formed by the fluid storage space 410 may surround the temperature regulator 6 in a spiral shape. FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the internal flow path 410a surrounding the temperature regulator 6 in a spiral shape. The arrows in FIG. 21 show an example of the direction in which the fluid 7 flows. By having the internal flow path 410a surround the temperature regulator 6 in a spiral shape, the time during which the fluid 7 in the container 4 is temperature-regulated by the temperature regulator 6 (for example, the time during which it is cooled or heated) can be lengthened. This improves the temperature regulation effect of the temperature regulator 6 on the fluid 7.

[0087] In the above example, the entrance / exit 480 for inserting and removing the temperature regulator 6 into and from the container 4 is located above the inlet 481. Specifically, the entire entrance / exit 480 is located above the entire inlet 481. Also, the entrance / exit 480 is located above the outlet 482. Specifically, the entire entrance / exit 480 is located above the entire outlet 482. In this way, by positioning the entrance / exit 480 relatively higher, it becomes easy to insert and remove the temperature regulator 6.

[0088] In the above example, the inlet 481 and the outlet 482 open toward the side of the container 4. This makes it easier to pull out the circulation flow path body 5 in the lateral direction from the container 4. By pulling out the circulation flow path body 5 in the lateral direction from the container 4, the circulation flow path body 5 is less likely to get in the way in the up-down and thickness directions of the container 4.

[0089] In the above example, the inlet 481 is located on one side in the lateral direction of the container 4, and the outlet 482 is located on the other side in the lateral direction of the container 4. In this way, the inlet 481 and the outlet 482 are located on opposite sides to each other in the lateral direction, which makes it easy to route the circulation flow path body 5.

[0090] In addition, in the above example, since the direction in which the circulation flow path body 5 is attached to and detached from the container 4 is along the lateral direction, the circulation flow path body 5 is less likely to get in the way of the container 4 in the vertical and thickness directions.

[0091] The positions and orientations of the inlet / outlet 480, the inlet 481, and the outlet 482 are not limited to the above example. For example, at least one of the inlet / outlet 480, the inlet 481, and the outlet 482 may be provided on the front side or the back side of the container 4. Fig. 22 is a schematic diagram showing an example in which the inlet / outlet 480 and the inlet 481 are provided on the front side of the container 4, and the outlet 482 is provided on the back side of the container 4.

[0092] 22, the inlet / outlet 480 and the inlet 481 are provided in the front part 40a of the exterior 40, and the outlet 482 is provided in the back part 40b of the exterior 40. The inlet / outlet 480 and the inlet 481 open toward the front side, and the outlet 482 opens toward the back side. The inlet / outlet 480 is located above the inlet 481 and the outlet 482. In the example of FIG. 22, for example, the fluid 7 flowing in from the inlet 481 on the front side flows into the back side accommodation space 414 through the front side accommodation space 413, and flows out from the outlet 482 on the back side through the back side accommodation space 414.

[0093] Fig. 23 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the container 4. In the example of Fig. 23, an inlet / outlet 480 and an outlet 482 are provided in the front part 40a of the exterior 40, and an inlet 481 is provided in the back part 40b of the exterior 40. The inlet / outlet 480 is located above the outlet 482 and below the inlet 481. In the example of Fig. 23, for example, the fluid 7 flowing in from the inlet 481 on the back side flows through the back storage space 414 into the front storage space 413, and flows out from the outlet 482 on the front side through the front storage space 413.

[0094] Fig. 24 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the container 4. In the example of Fig. 24, an inlet / outlet 480, an inlet 481, and an outlet 482 are provided in the front side portion 40a of the exterior 40. The inlet / outlet 480 is located above the inlet 481 and the outlet 482. In the example of Fig. 24, for example, the fluid 7 flowing in from the inlet 481 on the front side flows into the back side housing space 414 through the front side housing space 413, returns to the front side housing space 413 through the back side housing space 414, and then flows out from the outlet 482 on the front side.

[0095] The container 4 may include an opening / closing part 490 capable of opening and closing the entrance / exit 480. The opening / closing part 490 may be, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, a wire fastener, or a lid member. The wire fastener used for the opening / closing part 490 may be a waterproof fastener.

[0096] Fig. 25 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a container 4 having a line fastener 490a as an opening / closing part 490. Fig. 25 shows an example of a state in which a line fastener 490a is provided on the container 4 shown in Fig. 24.

[0097] When the container 4 has an opening / closing part 490 capable of opening and closing the entrance / exit 480, the temperature regulating body 6 is less likely to accidentally come out of the container 4. Furthermore, when the opening / closing part 490 is a linear fastener, the entrance / exit 480 can be easily opened and closed.

[0098] In the above example, one temperature regulator 6 is accommodated in the container 4, but multiple temperature regulators 6 may be accommodated. FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram showing an example of how the regulator accommodation space 420 of the container 4 accommodates two temperature regulators 6 (also referred to as temperature regulators 6a and 6b). In the example of FIG. 26, the two temperature regulators 6a and 6b are accommodated in the regulator accommodation space 420 so as to be aligned in the left-right direction, but for example, the two temperature regulators 6a and 6b may be accommodated in the regulator accommodation space 420 so as to be aligned in the up-down direction. In addition, three or more temperature regulators 6 may be accommodated in the regulator accommodation space 420.

[0099] When a plurality of temperature regulators 6 are accommodated in the regulator accommodating space 420, the regulator accommodating space 420 may be divided into a plurality of accommodation spaces 421 in which at least a portion of the plurality of temperature regulators 6 are individually accommodated.

[0100] Fig. 27 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which two storage spaces 421 (also referred to as storage spaces 421a and 421b) in which at least a portion of two temperature regulators 6a and 6b are respectively stored separately in the regulator storage space 420. Fig. 27 shows an example of a state in which two storage spaces 421a and 421b are provided in the container 4 shown in Fig. 22. Fig. 28 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a cross-sectional structure along the arrow BB shown in Fig. 27.

[0101] In the example of Figs. 27 and 28, the container 4 includes a partition 42 that divides the adjuster housing space 420 into two housing spaces 421a and 421b. The partition 42 is formed, for example, by joining a part of the front part 41a and a part of the back part 41b in the partition 41 (in other words, the sheet member 460). That is, the joint 41ab between the front part 41a and the back part 41b constitutes the partition 42. The front part 41a and the back part 41b may be joined by welding, by using an adhesive, or by other methods. The partition 42 can also be seen as being constituted by a part of the partition 41. The adjuster housing space 420 is divided by the partition 42 into, for example, two housing spaces 421a and 421b. The partition 42 extends, for example, in the vertical direction.

[0102] The accommodation space 421a can accommodate, for example, a part of the temperature regulator 6a. The accommodation space 421b can accommodate, for example, a part of the temperature regulator 6b. In the example of Figures 27 and 28, the accommodation space 421a accommodates the lower 2 / 3 of the temperature regulator 6a, and the accommodation space 421b accommodates the lower 2 / 3 of the temperature regulator 6b.

[0103] The accommodation space 421a only needs to accommodate at least a part of the temperature regulator 6a, and may accommodate the entire temperature regulator 6a, the lower half of the temperature regulator 6a, or the lower ⅓ of the temperature regulator 6a. The same applies to the accommodation space 421b.

[0104] Furthermore, the number of the accommodation spaces 421 included in the adjuster accommodation space 420 is not limited to two. For example, the adjuster accommodation space 420 may include three accommodation spaces 421, or may include four or more accommodation spaces 421.

[0105] In this way, when a plurality of storage spaces 421, each of which stores at least a portion of a temperature regulator 6, are provided in the container 4, the plurality of temperature regulators 6 are unlikely to overlap in the container 4. This makes it difficult for the size of the container 4 to increase due to, for example, the plurality of temperature regulators 6 overlapping in the container 4.

[0106] 27 and 28, when multiple temperature regulating bodies 6 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to their thickness direction, the multiple temperature regulating bodies 6 are prevented from overlapping each other, thereby making it possible to increase the facing area between the multiple temperature regulating bodies 6 and the partition portion 41. In other words, the facing area between the multiple temperature regulating bodies 6 and the fluid 7 can be increased. As a result, the temperature regulating effect of the multiple temperature regulating bodies 6 on the fluid 7 is improved.

[0107] In the above example, the joint portion between the front portion 41a and the back portion 41b of the partition portion 41 is the partition portion 42, but the partition portion 42 is not limited to this. For example, a wall-like or block-like partition portion 42 extending from a part of the front portion 41a to a part of the back portion 41b may be provided.

[0108] A surface 41xx of the partition 41 on the fluid storage space 410 side (in other words, the outer surface 41xx) may be connected to an inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 on the partition 42 that separates the storage space 421a and the storage space 421b. Fig. 29 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of the container 4 in this case. Fig. 29 corresponds to Fig. 28. Fig. 30 is a schematic diagram showing an enlarged view of a portion C of Fig. 29.

[0109] 29 and 30, the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 is joined by welding or the like to a joint 41ab between the front portion 41a and the back portion 41b of the partition portion 41, which constitutes the partition portion 42, so that the outer surface 41xx of the partition portion 41 is connected to the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 on the partition portion 42. In the example of FIGS. 29 and 30, it can also be said that the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 is connected to the partition portion 42. Also, in the example of FIGS. 29 and 30, it can also be said that the outer surface 41xx of the partition portion 41 is connected to the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 at a portion where it overlaps with at least a part of the partition portion 42 in the thickness direction of the exterior 40 (the up-down direction in FIGS. 29 and 30).

[0110] In the example of Figures 29 and 30, the surface 41aa (also called the outer surface 41aa) of the front portion 41a of the partition 41 facing the fluid storage space 410 is joined to the inner surface 40aa of the front portion 40a of the exterior 40 by welding or the like, and the surface 41bb (also called the outer surface 41bb) of the back portion 41b of the partition 41 facing the fluid storage space 410 is joined to the inner surface 40bb of the back portion 40b of the exterior 40 by welding or the like.

[0111] In addition, when the container 4 is provided with a partition 42, the location where the outer surface 41xx of the partition 41 is connected to the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 does not have to be on the partition 42. In addition, the outer surface 41aa of the front portion 41a of the partition 41 does not have to be connected to the inner surface 40aa of the front portion 40a of the exterior 40. In addition, the outer surface 41bb of the back portion 41b of the partition 41 does not have to be connected to the inner surface 40bb of the back portion 40b of the exterior 40.

[0112] Figure 31 is a schematic diagram showing an example in which the outer surface 41aa of the front portion 41a of the partition 41 is connected to the inner surface 40aa of the front portion 40a of the exterior 40 by welding or the like other than on the partition 42, and the outer surface 41bb of the back portion 41b of the partition 41 is not connected to the inner surface 40bb of the back portion 40b of the exterior 40.

[0113] The method for connecting the outer surface 41xx of the partitioning portion 41 to the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 is not limited to joining such as welding. For example, a wall-shaped or block-shaped connecting portion extending from the outer surface 41xx of the partitioning portion 41 to the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 may be provided.

[0114] As in the examples of Figures 29 and 30, when a partition portion 42 is provided in the container 4, the outer surface 41xx of the partition portion 41, i.e., the surface of the partition portion 41 facing the fluid 7, is connected to the inner surface 40xx of the exterior 40 on the partition portion 42, thereby making it possible to prevent the exterior 40 from becoming large in the thickness direction while maintaining the temperature regulating effect of the temperature regulating bodies 6 and 6b on the fluid 7.

[0115] The exterior 40 may have two paired notches 496 on its outer circumferential edge 495 to enable folding of the exterior 40. Fig. 32 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the exterior 40 having two paired notches 496 on the outer circumferential edge 495. In the example of Fig. 32, two notches 496 are provided on the upper and lower edges of the outer circumferential edge 395. The two notches 496 face each other in the up-down direction. The notches 496 can be considered to be a space in which the exterior 40 does not exist.

[0116] In the example of Fig. 32, the peripheral portion of the inner surface 40aa of the front portion 40a of the exterior 40 and the peripheral portion of the inner surface 40bb of the rear portion 40b of the exterior 40 are joined by welding or the like. The two cutout portions 496 are provided, for example, at the joint between the peripheral portion of the inner surface 40aa of the front portion 40a and the peripheral portion of the inner surface 40bb of the rear portion 40b. The cutout portions 496 can be considered to be spaces where no joints exist. The exterior 40 can be folded in two, left and right, along a straight line 499 that passes through the two cutout portions 496.

[0117] 32, the two cutout portions 496 are located on an outer peripheral edge 495 of the exterior 40 so that the exterior 40 is folded over the partition portion 42 that separates the accommodation space 420a from the accommodation space 420b. In the example of Fig. 32, the two cutout portions 496 are located on an extension line of the partition portion 42 extended in the longitudinal direction. A straight line 499 passing through the two cutout portions 496 passes through the partition portion 42.

[0118] As in the example of Fig. 32, when the outer periphery 495 of the sheath 40 has two paired notches 496 for enabling the sheath 40 to be folded, the container 4 can be used even in a folded state of the sheath 40. As a result, for example, when the container 4 is stored in a pocket 21 provided in the back body part 20 of the garment 2 as in the examples of Figs. 1 and 3, the sheath 40 is likely to bend along the back of the person 100 wearing the garment 2. As a result, the comfort of the garment 2 storing the container 4 can be improved.

[0119] Furthermore, if the two cutouts 496 are located on the outer periphery 495 of the exterior 40 so that the exterior 40 is folded over the partition 42, the temperature regulating bodies 6a and 6b are less likely to get in the way when the exterior 40 is folded.

[0120] The partition 41 may be located above the outlet 482. In this case, for example, when the fluid 7 is circulating, the risk that the partition 41 blocks the outlet 482 is reduced. As a result, the risk that the fluid 7 becomes difficult to circulate is reduced.

[0121] Fig. 33 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which the partition part 41 is located above the outflow port 482. Fig. 33 shows an example of a cross-sectional shape of the container 4 taken along the up-down direction.

[0122] 33, the partition part 41 is bag-shaped, and the space between the partition part 41 and the exterior 40 forms the fluid storage space 410. The inlet / outlet 480, the inlet 481, and the outlet 482 are provided in the exterior 40. The entire area of ​​the partition part 41 is located above the entire area of ​​the outlet 482. The partition part 41 may be located above the inlet 481.

[0123] In the above example, the container 4, the battery 8, and the pump 9 are provided in the clothing 2, but at least one of the container 4, the battery 8, and the pump 9 may be provided outside the clothing 2. For example, at least one of the container 4, the battery 8, and the pump 9 may be stored in a waist pouch or a backpack worn by the person 100.

[0124] In the above example, the contact body 2 to which the circulation flow path body 5 is attached is clothing, but it may be an object other than clothing. For example, the contact body 2 may be the seat part of a chair or the backrest part of a chair.
