DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The specific details of the single embodiment or variety of embodiments described herein are to the described product or methods of use. Any specific details of the embodiments are used for demonstration purposes only and no unnecessary limitations or inferences are to be understood from there.

[0020] It is noted that the embodiments reside primarily in combinations of components and procedures related to the products. Accordingly, the product and components have been represented where appropriate by conventional symbols in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein.

[0021] In general, the embodiments described herein relate to a cooling treatment device. The cooling treatment device can include a cooling pack. The cooling pack can include at least a first cooling material and a second cooling material. The first cooling material and the second cooling material can include water, a thickener (e.g., hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium polyacrylate, silica gel, carboxymethyl cellulose, or any combination thereof), a freezing point depressant (e.g., propylene glycol, salts), or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the second cooling material can include a larger amount of the freezing point depressant and/or the thickener than the first cooling material so that the second cooling material is able to stay colder than the first cooling material for a longer period of time. The cooling pack can include a first cooling pack portion (e.g., a first sealed bag containing the first cooling material) and a second cooling pack portion (e.g., a second sealed bag containing the second cooling material).

[0022] The cooling treatment device can include a cushion that has at least one cavity for accommodating the cooling pack. The cooling pack can be positioned within the cavity of the cushion during cooling treatment and can be removed for freezing. A user can place the cooling pack in a freezer, wait until the cooling pack reaches a desired low temperature, and return the cooling back to the cavity of the cushion in preparation for cooling treatment.

[0023] The cushion can include any suitable cushion for supporting a part of the body during cooling treatment. For example, the cushion can include a pillow such as a head pillow, a neck pillow, a body pillow, a leg pillow, a knee pillow, a wedge pillow, etc. As another example, a suitable cushion can include a seat cushion, a back cushion, an armrest cushion, etc.

[0024] The cooling treatment device can include at least one layer of material disposed over the cooling pack and the cavity. The layer of material can be constructed and arranged to be a temperature barrier between the cooling pack and a user during cooling treatment. The layer of material can be made primarily of any suitable material that allows a user to receive cooling treatment over an extended period of time (e.g., one hour, two hours, etc.) without being burned by the cooling pack. For example, the layer of material can be made primarily of silicone. In some embodiments, the layer of material can be made primarily of silicone foam. In some embodiments, the layer of material can be made primarily from gel-infused memory foam, shredded memory foam, latex foam, bamboo-derived fabrics, microfiber cooling fabrics, phase change materials (PCM), polyester fiberfill, cooling gel fibers, or any combination thereof.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 1A, a device 10 for cooling treatment can include at least one cooling pack 18 that is freezable. Referring to FIG. 1B, in some embodiments, the cooling treatment device 10 can include a cushion 12 that has at least one cavity 14 that is constructed and arranged to accommodate the cooling pack 18 so that the cooling pack 18 can be positioned within the cavity 14. In some embodiments, the cooling pack 18 can be removable from the cavity 14. In some embodiments, a recessed surface 20 of the cushion 12 can at least partially define the cavity 14 of the cushion 12. In some embodiments, the recessed surface 20 can include a moisture wicking material or silicone gel to prevent the cushion 12 from absorbing any moisture condensed on the cooling pack 18 during cooling treatment.

[0026] In some embodiments, the cooling treatment device 10 can include at least one layer of material 16 that is constructed and arranged to be a temperature barrier between the cooling pack 18 and a user. In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can be made primarily of a thermally insulating material (e.g., silicone foam). In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can be detachable from the cushion 12, and reattachable to the cushion 12. In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can have at least a first side 31 that is attached to the cushion 12. For example, the first side 31 of the layer of material 16 can be stitched or adhered to the cushion 12.

[0027] In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can have at least a second side 32 opposite the first side 31, wherein the second side 32 is detachable from the cushion 12, and reattachable to the cushion 12. For example, a first set of fasteners 40 can be attached to the bottom surface 42 of the layer of material 16 to fasten the bottom surface 42 of the layer of material 16 to a top cushion surface 45 of the cushion 12. As another example, a second set of fasteners 40 can be attached to the top cushion surface 45 of the cushion 12 to fasten the bottom surface 42 of the layer of material 16 to the top surface 45 of the cushion 12. In some embodiments, the first set of fasteners 40 can be constructed and arranged to engage with the second set of fasteners 40 to fasten the bottom surface 42 of the layer of material 16 to the top cushion surface 45 of the cushion 12. The first set of fasteners 40 and the second set of fasteners 40 can be constructed and arranged to removably attach any portion of the layer of material 16 to the top cushion surface 45 of the cushion 12. The fasteners 40, 40 can be any suitable type of fasteners such as, for example, button fasteners, hook and loop fasteners, zipper fasteners, magnetic fasteners, etc. In some embodiments, the top cushion surface 45 can include a moisture wicking material or silicone gel to prevent the cushion 12 from absorbing any moisture condensed on the cooling pack 18 during cooling treatment.

[0028] In some embodiments, the cooling treatment device 10 can include one or more thermal conductors 50 attached to the layer of material 16, the recessed surface 20, and/or the top cushion surface 45. In some embodiments, the one or more thermal conductors 50 can be attached to a bottom surface 42 of the layer of material 16. In some embodiments, a layer of fabric or material can be disposed over the one or more thermal conductors 50 to prevent corrosion. The one or more thermal conductors 50 can be constructed and arranged to dissipate heat from a user along the bottom surface 42 of the layer of material 16.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1C, the layer of material 16 can be constructed and arranged to cover at least the cavity 14 and the cooling pack 18. Referring to FIG. 1D, the cooling pack 18 can be positioned within the cavity 14. In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can be disposed over the cooling pack 18 and the cavity 14. In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can hold the cooling pack 18 in place within the cavity 14 when the layer of material 16 is fastened to the cushion 12. In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 disposed over the cooling pack 18 can have a thickness 71 of at least 3 mm. In some embodiments, the cavity 14 of the cushion 12 can have a depth 72 of at least 12 mm. In some embodiments, sidewalls 81, 82 at least partially defining the cavity 14 can include a moisture wicking material or silicone gel to prevent the cushion 12 from absorbing any moisture condensed on the cooling pack 18 during cooling treatment.

[0030] In some embodiments, the cooling pack 18 can include a first cooling pack portion 21 and a second cooling pack portion 22. In some embodiments, the first cooling pack portion 21 can be attached to the second cooling pack portion 22. In some embodiments, the first cooling pack portion 21 can be foldably attached to the second cooling pack portion 22 via a fold 25.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first cooling pack portion 21 can contain a first cooling material 51. For example, the first cooling pack portion 21 can include a first sealed bag 61 that contains the first cooling material 51. In some embodiments, the second cooling pack portion 22 can include a second cooling material 52. For example, the second cooling pack portion 22 can include a second sealed bag 62 that contains the second cooling material 52. In some embodiments, the first cooling material 51 can have a first heat capacity (e.g., a first specific heat capacity). In some embodiments, the second cooling material 52 can have a second heat capacity (e.g., a second specific heat capacity). In some embodiments, the second heat capacity can be larger than the first heat capacity so that the second cooling pack portion 22 is able to stay colder than the first cooling pack portion 21 for a longer period of time. During use, the first cooling pack portion 21 and the second cooling pack portion 22 absorb heat from a user. As the second cooling pack portion 22 is positioned under the first cooling pack portion 21, the second cooling pack portion 22 can reduce the rate at which the first cooling pack portion 21 becomes warmer. In some embodiments, the first cooling pack portion 21 is softer than the second cooling pack portion 22, making the first cooling pack portion 21 more comfortable for a user while reducing the rate at which the second cooling pack portion 22 absorbs heat. For example, in some embodiments, the first cooling pack portion 21 has a lower amount of a thickener than the second cooling pack portion 22.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 1E, in some embodiments, the cooling pack 18 can be made larger to absorb more heat from a user, and the cavity 14 can be made larger to accommodate the cooling pack 18. In some embodiments, the cooling treatment device 10 can have a side opening 35 between the layer of material 16 and the cushion 12. In some embodiments, the side opening 35 can be sized to receive the cooling pack 18. In some embodiments, the cooling pack 18 can be inserted into the cavity 14 through the side opening 35.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 1F, the layer of material 16 can be removed from the cushion 12, and a second layer of material 16 can be positioned over the cavity 14 and the cooling pack 18. In some embodiments, the second layer of material 16 can have a thickness 73 that is larger than the thickness (e.g., 71 in FIG. 1D) of the layer of material 16 so that the second layer of material 16 can be more thermally insulating than the layer of material 16. Referring to FIG. 1G, the second layer of material 16 can be removably attached to the top cushion surface 45 of the cushion 12 via fasteners 40, 40.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 2, a user 90 can position any part of their body, such as, for example, their head 92 on the cooling treatment device 10. The user 90 may desire to lay their face on the layer of material 16. In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can create a temperature barrier between the cooling pack (e.g., 18 in FIG. 1D) and the user 90 to extend the time during which the cooling pack 18 is colder than an ambient room temperature. In some embodiments, the layer of material 16 can be hypoallergenic and add comfort to the user 90 supporting their head 92. While FIG. 2 shows the user 90 supporting their head 92 with the cooling treatment device 10, the cooling treatment device 10 can be used to support any part of the user's 90 body such as, for example, their back, leg, arm, knee, foot, etc.
