(Example of the configuration of the cooling and heating device)
Hereinafter, a cooling and heating device 1 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The cooling and heating device 1 of the present embodiment is for cooling the breast for the treatment of maternal fever, mastitis and the like occurring during the lactation period, and for heating to promote blood circulation. is there. For example, the cooling / heating device 1 is cooled in a refrigerator or the like, and then placed in the same type of cloth bag and stored in a brassiere or the like (including a half top, a milk band, or the like).

  FIG. 1 is a front view of the cooling and heating device 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side view of the cooling and heating device 1 as viewed from the direction A in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the cooling and heating device 1 has a substantially oval central portion with a recessed shape, and is cooled inside a flat bag body made of a flexible water-impermeable sheet 30. It is filled with a heating gel (heat storage / cold storage material) and sealed. Any material may be used for the sheet, and for example, polyethylene or nylon may be used. The gel as the heat storage material / cold storage material is an antifreeze gel containing water, an antifreeze liquid, and a gelling agent.

  For example, the bag body may be formed by press-bonding the outer edges of two water-impermeable sheets having a substantially oval central portion as shown in FIG. Moreover, the cooling warming tool 1 may be formed by filling the sheet | seat formed in the bag shape with gel.

  The length of the cooling warming tool 1 in the horizontal direction (the length W in the left-right direction in FIG. 1) is, for example, 165 mm and may be in the range of 130 mm to 180 mm. The length in the vertical direction (length H in the vertical direction in FIG. 1) is, for example, 65 mm, and may be in the range of 55 mm to 90 mm. Further, the thickness T of the cooling and heating device 1 may be, for example, in a range of 10 mm to 15 mm. In addition, the numerical value shown here is an example to the last, and another magnitude | size may be sufficient.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a region 10 where the gel is filled and a recess 20 which is not filled are formed in the cooling / heating device 1. The concave portion 20 is a region formed so that the central portion in the lateral direction of the bag body is concave, and the gel is not pressed into the sheet by pressing the sheet with heat or the like from the thickness direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2). It is the area | region formed in.

  Specifically, the recess 20 is formed in a substantially arc shape from the end of the central portion in the lateral direction (longitudinal direction) of the bag body to the inside. The recessed part 20 is provided in one (upper end part of FIG. 1) of both end parts in the longitudinal direction of the bag body.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AB of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, in the region 10, the gel 11 can enter without the sheet 30 being pressed. On the other hand, in the recess 20, the sheet 30 is pressure-bonded so that the gel 11 cannot enter.

  Thus, the cooling warming tool 1 can be easily deformed so as to conform to the shape of the breast by providing the cooling warming tool 1 with the recesses 20 that are pressure-bonded to each other and not filled with gel. .

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the cooling / heating device 1 is deformed. As shown in FIG. 4, the recess 20 that is not filled with the gel is provided in the central portion in the lateral direction, whereby the portion filled with the left and right gels can be easily deformed in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the cooling and heating device 1 Is deformed in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a usage state of the cooling / heating device 1, and is a diagram illustrating a state in which the cooling / heating device 1 is brought into contact with the breast. As shown in FIG. 5, the cooling and heating device 1 is brought into contact with the maternal breast 40. Specifically, the cooling and heating device 1 is brought into contact with a portion from the outer edge 41 of the breast 40 to the teat 42 so as to surround the teat 42. Since the cooling warming tool 1 is provided with the recess 20 not filled with the gel, the cooling warming tool 1 can be easily deformed three-dimensionally. That is, the cooling / heating device 1 is easily deformed into a substantially conical shape with the concave portion 20 as the apex (deforms so as to easily fit the side surface of the cone). Therefore, it is easy to fit the cooling and heating device 1 to the shape of the breast 40, and the maternal breast can be wrapped.

  For example, in order to fit the shape of the maternal breast, it is conceivable to form the cooling warming device itself three-dimensionally, but when the cooling heating device itself is three-dimensionally formed, the size in the thickness direction increases. Inconvenient to carry. In addition, it is conceivable to form the cooling / heating device in a shape that wraps around the breast. However, the shape may be complicated and processing may be troublesome, and the sheet may be torn from a portion having a complicated shape. In addition, when the shape of the cooling and heating device itself is matched to the breast, it may be difficult to use depending on the size of the breast.

  However, in the cooling / heating device 1 of the present embodiment, it is formed in a simple flat shape and is not bulky when being carried, and is deformed so that the user himself fits the affected area by forming the recess 20. Can do. Moreover, since the recessed part 20 is formed by bonding sheets together in this embodiment, the strength of the recessed part can be increased.

  The size of the cooling and heating device 1 is determined by the average size of the maternal breast and the size of the breast at the assumed use time. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the cooling / heating device 1 is brought into contact with the breast, the lateral length W of the cooling / heating device 1 is about 1/4 to 1/2 of the outer circumference of the breast. There may be. Moreover, the length H in the vertical direction of the cooling and heating device 1 may be equal to or less than the length from the outer periphery of the breast to the nipple. Thus, the cooling / heating device 1 of the present embodiment is adjusted to a size that does not hit the nipple, and can be cooled or heated so as to wrap the breast.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the cooling and heating device 1 may be in contact with the outside of the breast, or may be in contact with the inside (inside of the left and right breasts). Further, it may be in contact with the lower side or the upper side.

  In addition, the cooling and heating device 1 may be put in a bag made of a cloth having the same shape and applied to the breast, or may be applied directly to the breast. Then, by attaching a brassiere or the like after the cooling / heating device 1 is applied to the breast, the cooling / heating device 1 is fixed while being applied to the breast.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, for example, after cooling the heating / warming device 1 with a refrigerator or the like, the breast can be cooled so as to wrap the maternal breast. Since the cooling / heating device 1 of the present embodiment is provided with the recess 20 into which the cooling / heating gel does not enter, the entire cooling / heating device 1 can be easily deformed and the breast can be easily wrapped. . In addition, the cooling and heating device 1 of the present embodiment can be rapidly heated with a microwave oven or the like, or cooled with a refrigerator, and can be used repeatedly. Moreover, since an antifreeze gel is used, it does not freeze solidly even if it cools with a freezer, and it is easy to use it to cool an affected part.

  The above embodiment is merely an example, and various modifications may be made as described below, for example.

  For example, the shape of the concave portion 20 not filled with the gel is not limited to the substantially arc shape shown in FIG. 1, and may be formed in, for example, a V shape or a quadrangular shape.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the recessed part 20 was formed by adhere | attaching the inner sides of a sheet | seat by thermocompression bonding, the recessed part which a gel does not penetrate | invade by other arbitrary methods may be formed in other embodiment. For example, the insides of the sheets may be bonded together with an adhesive or the like, or the recesses 20 may be formed by bonding the insides of the sheets together by sewing. Moreover, it is not necessary to adhere | attach a sheet | seat over the whole recessed part 20, and one part may adhere | attach so that a gel may not penetrate | invade.

  The cooling / heating device 1 is not limited to cooling or warming the breast, but may be used to cool or warm other affected parts.
