  • water can be used as the cooling liquid.
  • the transition of the cold to the body of the person or the absorption of the heat of the body of the person from the cooling device is relatively slow, so that cooling in a very short time is not possible.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an above-mentioned cooling device with which efficient cooling of the body of a person or the like is possible in a very short time. Disadvantages of known cooling devices should be reduced or avoided.
  • the cooling device should be as easy to handle and allow rapid application. The manufacturing costs should not be too high.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by an above-mentioned cooling device in which a material which is thermally highly conductive in comparison with the cooling liquid is contained within the cooling elements for receiving the cooling liquid.
  • a material which is thermally highly conductive in comparison with the cooling liquid is contained within the cooling elements for receiving the cooling liquid.
  • the thermally highly conductive material contained within the cooling elements the usually poor thermal conductivity of the cooling liquid, such as water, bridged and achieved by the good conductivity of the material arranged in the cooling element, that after application of the cooling device very quickly the melting temperature of the cooling liquid is achieved.

  • the fact that the cooling elements are movably connected to each other, the cape of the invention has sufficient flexibility for a high level of comfort.
  • the cloak is used in a cooling device, e.g. Freezer, stored to cool the coolant in the cooling elements accordingly. Before the application, the cloak is removed from the freezer and the person or the like. dressed. In this way, an athlete, for example, in the break between game units cool the body by wearing the cape over certain times, for example, a few minutes and increase the performance for the subsequent exercise. An application even with workers before performing particularly strenuous activities is also conceivable.
  • a cooling device e.g. Freezer
  • spacers may be arranged on the body-facing side of the cooling device. These spacers ensure a certain minimum distance between the body surface and cooling elements, so that the cooling of the body takes place only by radiation from the cooling elements. In addition, the body surface is aerated and dehumidified by the air circulating between the spacer elements.
  • the spacer elements may be formed of foam.
  • the spacer elements may be formed of plastically deformable material. Given the use of appropriate materials, at certain locations, if desired, the spacer can be overcome by applying appropriate pressure, thus reducing the distance between the cooling element and the body surface. Furthermore, the spacer elements can be arranged removably, so that an individual adjustment of the cooling of certain body regions is possible.
  • the spacer elements can be connected by Velcro fasteners with the inside of the cape and arranged as required at certain points on the inside of the cape.
  • shoulder pads can be arranged in the cloak. Since the weight of the cape due to the cooling elements with the cooling liquid disposed therein is relatively high and may for example be in the range of 10 to 20 kg, such shoulder pads distribute the force acting on the shoulder.

  • the body-facing side of the cape may be colored black.
  • the cloak may have ventilation holes at suitable locations.
  • the cape is printed on the outside, it can function as an advertising medium, which is of enormous economic importance, in particular in the field of sports.
  • printed areas of the cloak can also on the outside of the cape facilities for receiving advertising or the like. be provided.
  • Such receiving devices may for example be connected by a pocket of transparent material with at least one opening for insertion of the advertising medium or the like or by Velcro fasteners or the like.

  • the cape may comprise an indicator for indicating the temperature.
  • a temperature indicator is preferably designed without a battery and can be formed, for example, by a color indicator which changes color as a function of the temperature.
  • the cooling liquid is formed by water. Since water has a melting point of 0 0 C, it can not come on the body surface to temperatures below 0 0 C and thus not to burns of the skin when applying the cooling device to the skin.
