ABSTRACT:
A device for contributing a sense of cooling relief for the body, especially during physical recreational/leisure activities, is provided which makes use of a water-permeable textile envelope containing a particulate resinous gel-forming material. The particulate resinous material, when hydrated by emersion in water, forms a soft pliable gel-like substance. The cooling effect of this device is provided by the evaporation of water from the surface of the textile envelope. The fibers of the textile envelope, by capillary action, wick water from the interstitial spaces in the water hydrated gel material, carrying the water to the textile/air/skin interface. The water evaporating from that interface results in the evaporative cooling effect. The device is simple and convenient to use in virtually any location, indoors or out and can be utilized during a variety of recreational and leisure activities to mitigate the uncomfortable effects of heat.
