Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the ice pack of Patent Document 1, an improvement in the cold-preserving function has been demanded.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The technology disclosed in this specification can be realized in the following forms.

[0006] (1) The ice pack in one form disclosed in this specification is an ice pack containing a cooling gel. This ice pack containing a cooling gel includes a silicon resin-made ice pack part having a cylindrical shape in which the cooling gel is enclosed, a cold-preserving case having a bottomed cylindrical shape capable of accommodating the ice pack part, and a cap provided at one end of the ice pack part and fitting into the cold-preserving case in a state where the ice pack part is accommodated in the cold-preserving case to seal the ice pack part in the cold-preserving case. According to this ice pack containing a cooling gel, the cold-preserving function can be improved by the cooling gel as compared with the case where ice and water are filled.

[0007] (2) The ice pack containing cooling gel in the above configuration may further include a neck strap in the shape of a band, which contains the cooling gel. The cooling case may also be capable of accommodating the ice pack portion with the neck strap wrapped around it. With this configuration of the ice pack containing cooling gel, the neck strap can be carried while both the ice pack portion and the neck strap are kept cool. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing the ice pack before the cap is fitted into the cooler case. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view showing the ice pack after the cap has been fitted into the cooler case. [Figure 3] This is an explanatory diagram showing the ice pack with the neck strap attached, before it is placed in the cooler case. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the ice pack 100 before the cap 130 is fitted into the cooler case 120. Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the ice pack 100 after the cap 130 is fitted into the cooler case 120. The ice pack 100 is an ice pack filled with cooling gel. The ice pack 100 comprises an ice pack section 110, a cooler case 120, and a cap 130. The cutouts and hatching shown in Figures 1 and 2 are for the purpose of making the internal structure easier to understand.

[0010] The ice pack portion 110 of the ice pack 100 comprises a container 112 and a cooling gel 114. The container 112 is a bottomed cylindrical shape. The container 112 is made of silicone resin. The container 112 has a cylindrical side wall portion and a bottom portion that closes one end of the side wall portion. An opening is formed on the other end of the container 112. A cap 130 is attached to the opening. The cooling gel 114 is a gel-like substance. The cooling gel 114 is sealed inside the container 112. Specific examples of the cooling gel 114 include a material mainly composed of water, to which a superabsorbent polymer, a thickener, or a gelling agent is added to make it gel-like. The cooling gel 114 may be made of a material that maintains fluidity even in low-temperature environments. The cooling gel 114 is arranged along the internal space of the container 112. The cooling gel 114 may be sealed inside the container 112 in a movable state.

[0011] The cooling case 120 of the ice pack 100 is a bottomed cylindrical shape capable of housing the ice pack portion 110. The cooling case 120 is made of metal. The cooling case 120 has a mating portion 122 and a main body portion 124. The mating portion 122 is formed at the upper end of the cooling case 120. A female thread 122a for screwing on the cap 130 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the mating portion 122. The main body portion 124 is formed below the mating portion 122. The main body portion 124 has a vacuum double-walled bottle structure. The main body portion 124 consists of an outer bottle 124a and an inner bottle 124b which are joined together at the upper end. A vacuum space 124c is formed between the outer bottle 124a and the inner bottle 124b.

[0012] The cap 130 of the ice pack 100 is provided at one end of the ice pack portion 110. The cap 130 has a main body portion 132 and an insertion portion 134. The main body portion 132 is disc-shaped. The main body portion 132 is shaped to protrude radially outward from the insertion portion 134. The main body portion 132 is configured to abut against the upper end of the cooler case 120. The insertion portion 134 is formed on the lower surface of the main body portion 132. The insertion portion 134 is cylindrical and fits into the fitting portion 122 of the cooler case 120. A male thread 134a is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the insertion portion 134, which screws into the female thread 122a of the cooler case 120. With this configuration, the cap 130 fits into the cooler case 120 when the ice pack portion 110 is housed in the cooler case 120. As a result, the ice pack section 110 is sealed inside the cooler case 120.

[0013] According to the ice pack 100 described above, the cooling function can be improved by using the cooling gel 114 compared to when ice and water are used.

[0014] Next, we will describe a configuration in which additional components are added to the ice pack 100 containing cooling gel as described above.

[0015] The ice pack 100 containing cooling gel in the above configuration may further include a neck belt 140 in the shape of a band, which is filled with cooling gel. As shown in Figure 3, the cooling case 120 may be able to accommodate the ice pack portion 110 with the neck belt 140 wrapped around it.

[0016] With this type of cooling gel-filled ice pack 100, the neck belt 140 can be carried while keeping it cool together with the ice pack portion 110. Furthermore, after using the neck belt 140, it can be re-cooled by placing it back into the ice pack 100.

[0017] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and variations, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-described embodiments, examples, and variations, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the column of the outline of the invention can be appropriately replaced and combined in order to solve some or all of the above-described problems, or to achieve some or all of the above-described effects. In addition, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted.
