Abstract
A novel encircling band is provided herein. The band includes a dual layer fabric of sufficient length to permit the band to encircle a selected part of the human anatomy.
A pocket is situated at a selected area of the encircling band between the two layers of fabric. A filling of a heat absorbent and water absorbent material is freely disposed within the envelope. The filling is a discrete material which is crystalline particulate when dry, and which has the property of swelling while maintaining its particulate form when combined with water. The filling is maintained permanently within the pocket while permitting the filling to adapt to the form and shape of the body part which it encircles.

Description
2121~
This invention relates to an encircling band, e.g., a scarf, a neck band, a wrist band, etc., having unique properties which can be imparted to a person wearing such encircling band. Such encircling band may be worn by an 5athlete during training to assist in his/her training program.
Such encircling bands are known in the patent literature which have structural features to increase their warmth or to provide moisture-absorbing properties. Thus, 10it has been proposed to provide scarves with linings to increase their warmth. Scarves with linings are subject to certain disadvantages which, in many instances, exceed the advantage of increased warmth. After washing or cleaning, it is difficult to iron such scarf properly. Hence such 15scarves frequently have objectionable folds or wrinkles.
Furthermore, unequal shrinking of the lining and the outer cloth is frequently responsible for loss of shape of the scarf. In-addition to the above objections, the lining generally imparts an undesirable stiffness to the scarf.
20Canadian Patent No. 370,649 patented December 21, 1937 by E. Buchman attempted to solve the problem of increasing the warmth of scarves without the use of a lining by providing a muffler or scarf in the form of a scarf com-prising: fabric stitched to form a comparatively long and 25narrow envelope of a length and width sufficient to permit the same to be looped around the neck of a person; a light, loose, filling of down in the envelope; and stitching extending through the envelope and dividing the scarf into 'k a plurality of sections for inhibiting movement of down from one part of the scarf to a distant part thereof.
- When training, athletes strive to con~inuously improve their muscular and respiratory systems. This is accom-plished by either exercising those systems during long training sessions which use the systems much more than is the normal experience of other people, or is accomplished by exerting those systems during shorter training sessions to a much higher level than do other people, or is accom-plished by both methods. When the muscular and respiratory systems are exerted to high level heat is produced by the body in correspondingly escalated levels and perspiration results. Perspiration is the body's mechanism for releasing the increased level of body heat, and is a measure of the exertion being produced. Wearing of a jogging suit or exercising in high temperature conditions forces the athlete's body to further exert itself.
Various types of headbands or sweatbands have been devised in the prior art for absorbing perspiration secreted by the sweat glands onto the forehead of a person.
Such bands are commonly worn to absorb perspiration. Such contemporary bands typically comprise elastic terry cloth or the like which is configured snugly to encircle the wearer's wrist or the upper portion of the user's head.
Flexible cold packs for use in therapeutic applications, such as to reduce swelling and inflammation to sprained joints, are likewise well known. Such cold packs typically comprise a freezable gel disposed within a liquid-impenetrable bag which may be cooled to a tempera-ture below the freezing point of water without becoming - rigid.
Moreover participants frequently attempt to cool themselves by applying a water spray to their such that evaporative cooling will occur. However, this technique is not particularly effective when the humidity is high.
In the patent literature solution to this problem, U.S. Patent No. 1,689,539 taught a hat pad comprising a cloth pad positioned between a band and the inner side of the hat crown. The cloth pad included a pocket for retaining a substance, e.g., diatomaceous earth, for absorbing moisture and oil.
U.S. Patent No. 2,265,530 taught a sweatband having a water-proof material stitched to a strip of leather with an absorbent wick material disposed between the waterproof material and leather. The wick extended away from the band to absorb moisture.
U.S. Patent No. 3,089,146 patented May 14, 1963 by W.F. Sterne, entitled "Sweat Band" taught a sweatband utilizing cellulose sponge granules within facing strips of a material, e.g., cheesecloth or gauze, for absorbing sweat secreted on to the skin and for evaporating the absorbed sweat back into the atmosphere to provide an evaporative cooling effect.
U.S. Patent 4,742,581 patented May 10, 1988 by D.H.
Rosenthal, entitled "Cooling Band System" provided a laminate comprised of an air-pervious mesh or foraminous 21~163~
first sub-layer of heat-conductive material covered by a sheet of approximately the same size, which may be a woven 100% cotton fabric connected in interfacial association and formed into an endless band. The band also included an outer layer of material, e.g., cotton and an inner mesh or screen layer of fibreglass or metal. The band could be in the form of a headband or wristband. The band thus extracted heat from the body and dissipated it, resulting in lowering body temperature.
U.S. Patent No. 4,815,144 taught headwear having freezable liquid or gel in a pouch which was positioned in a drain channel to collect the condensate.
U.S. Patent No. 4,856,116 patented August 15, 1989 by L.S. Sullivan entitled "Sweatbands" provided a sweatband which had a first component which was essentially inexten-sible and which had an elongated core fabricated from a porous, predominantly open cell, moisture absorbent, syn-thetic polymer. A permeable covering overlay the inner side of the core and was fabricated from a chamois material which was soft and pliable and was capable of promoting the transfer-of moisture from the user's skin to the core of the first component. A second, permeable covering overlay the outer side of the core, the second covering being made from a porous fabric which was capable of promoting the evaporation of moisture from the core into the ambient surroundings.
U.S. Patent No. 5,119,513 patented June 9, 1992 by W.D. McKay, entitled "Sports Band" provided a sports band which comprised a band of elastic absorbent material, generally hollow and torroidal in shape, which was configured to be worn upon a person's head or wrist. It had a slit formed upon its inner surface such that a flex-ible cold pack may be received thereby and disposed withinthe band. Such sports band both absorbed perspiration and cooled the user.
U.S. Patent No. 5,146,630 patented September 15, 1992 by R.J. Richard, entitled "Sweat Band" provided a sweatband formed of three fabrics, each having an elongated rectangu-lar shape, which was configured to fit about the head of a wearer. The periphery of the third fabric was partially secured to the second fabric, thereby forming a pocket having an opening to permit access into the pocket. A
removable package for holding granular, moisture-absorbing material which had an elongated rectangular shape which was configured to fit within the pocket. A securing means was employed to secure the fabrics to the head of the wearer such that they were pressed against the forehead of the wearer by tension generated by the securing means.
U.S. Patent No. 5,161,260 patented November 10, 1992 by J. Reynolds, entitled "Athletic Headwear" provided an athletic headwear including a body portion, an integral elastic headband and an integral sweatpad. The sweatpad was integral with the forward edge of the body portion on its inner or under surface and could be secured to the forward edge by stitching and the like.
Canadian Patent No. 1,203,952 patented May 6, 1986 by R.G. Parr provided neckwear comprising an elongated flex-ible support collar having a contour adapted to conform to the contour of the neck of a wearer of the neckwear. A
flexible insulating medium, e.g., which was perspiration-absorbed extended along at least one surface of the collar.
A tensioning belt was secured to the neckwear so as to extend parallel to the collar, the belt being adjustably tightenable after placement of the neckwear on the wearer so as to provide a uniform tension on the neck of the wearer. That neckwrap slowed heat loss from the neck area.
Thus, while the prior art provided means for increas-ing the warmth of a neckband or scarf and which provided moisture absorbing and evaporative cooling, no means of a cooling band which was not dependent upon evaporative cooling had been provided. Although the prior art has recognized to a limited extent the problems of absorbing perspiration and of cooling the participants, the proposed solutions have to date not been totally effective in pro-viding a satisfactory remedy. Thus, it would be desirable, and it is an object of one aspect of this invention, to provide an encircling band which would provide cooling to the user which was not dependent upon evaporative cooling, and which may also serve to absorb perspiration.
By one broad aspect of this invention an encircling wrap is provided for encircling a body part, the encircling wrap comprising: a main fabric in which an integral portion thereof includes a dual layer fabric constituted by two A
212163~
_ 7 layers of fabric; a pocket situated at a selected area of the portion of the encircling wrap between the two layers of fabric; a filling of a combination heat-absorbent and water-absorbent discrete material, which is crystalline particulate when dry and, which has the property of swell-ing while maintaining its particulate form when combined with water, the filling being freely disposed within the pocket; and means for maintaining the filling permanently within the pocket, while permitting the filling to adapt to the form and shape of the body part which it encircles.
By one variant thereof, the encircling wrap is in the form of an encircling band or scarf.
By another variant thereof, the filling is a water swellable, particulate aggregate made from particles of super absorbent polymeric material.
By another variant of this invention, the fabric is a wool fabric.
By a preferred variant, the fabric is a blend of 65%
polyester/35% cotton.
By other variants, the fabric is a worsted; a tweed;
a closely-woven cotton fabric; a closely-woven silk fabric;
or is a closely-woven synthetic fabric.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of an encircling band of one embodiment of the invention; and Fig. 2 is a section along the line II-II of Fig. 1.
A~
- 21216~5 As seen in the drawings, the encircling band is in the form of a scarf 10 which consists of a body of fabric 11 - folded upon itself to form a long, and~a comparatively narrow, dual fabric scarf, and which suitably lS stitched, e.g., at stitches 12, or otherwise held together. The two longitudinally-extending ends are cut at an angle 13 and are suitably stitched or otherwise held together, e.g., as illustrated at 14. The material used may be any closely woven cotton or silk fabric or synthetic fibre, or any other closely woven cloth material. One embodiment of the scarf 10 is made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35%
cotton. The cloth can vary from solid colours to patterns, and may be made in sizes suitable for children or adults to wear around the neck, or if desired, around the head or wrist. A pocket 15 is provided to accommodate heat- and moisture-absorbing crystals, which thus have the ability to absorb heat and that when placed in water expand up to 500 times in size. The limits of the pocket 15 is defined by any suitable means, e.g., stitches 17.
The heat- and moisture-absorbing crystals 16 are placed within the pocket 15 between the two layers 11 of the scarf cloth. One commercially-available such crystals are those known by the trade-mark SELSORB 9OTM of Allied Colloids Limited. SELSORB 9OTM is a water-swellable particulate aggregate made from particles of super absorbent polymeric material. The envelope 15 is conflned to the central regions 18 of the scarf 10 by hidden, fine close stitches 17. This divides the interior of the scarf 21216~
g into a central section indicated at 18, that section being closed off so that substantially no crystals can travel - along the length of the scarf section. A-suitable identi-fication name, or symbol or logo may be provided at the ends 19 (known as the tail) of the scarf 10, and/or be across the pocket section 15, only.
In one specific, although not necessarily a preferred embodiment, the scarf is 30-40 inches in lengths and is 2 inches in width. The central area may be from 13 to 18 inches long. The scarf is made of 65% polyester/35% cotton broadcloth.
This invention relates to an encircling band, e.g., a scarf, a neck band, a wrist band, etc., having unique properties which can be imparted to a person wearing such encircling band. Such encircling band may be worn by an 5athlete during training to assist in his/her training program.
