[Prior art] Traditionally, it has been used to cool and preserve food and drinks during a vacation, to cool the head of a sick person with a fever at home or in a hospital, or to cool the head of a patient with a fever while fishing, attending sports, or at a construction site in the summer. A simple coolant is used to reduce the heat.

For example, a simple refrigerant for charging is manufactured by Johnson & Co., Ltd. in the United States.
It is already commercially available from Johngan and others for medical and recreational use. These simple coolants are made by sealing a thick, strong, water-impermeable outer bag with a powder of an endothermic substance and water separated by a water-impermeable inner bag or partition wall such as a plastic film. When used, by tearing the inner bag or partition wall, water and the endothermic substance are mixed when dissolved, and the entire outer bag is cooled.

Such conventional simple coolants are small and convenient to carry, and have the advantage of being able to be taken out and used at any time. However, because water is used to dissolve the cooling substance during melting, the endothermic substance dissolves quickly, and The reaction progresses rapidly and ends early. As a result, the M low temperature is reached in a short time, and the time to return to room temperature is also short, so the cooling effect usually lasts only 15 to 20 minutes. There was a drawback to not doing so.

However, inorganic salts such as inorganic sodium-filled inorganic potassium salts containing crystal water have low melting points.1For example, the melting point of sodium sulfate decahydrate, which is considered the most effective, is 32.3.
It is ℃. For this reason, in the summer when simple coolants are frequently used, the inorganic salts melt and become ice-like, resulting in a major drawback in that they are no longer effective in slowing down the dissolution rate of endothermic substances during melting. Further, the method of adding a thickener increases the viscosity of water, and the supply of water cannot be delayed, and the effect of sustaining the cooling time is not sufficient.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the simple coolant of the present invention absorbs a powder of an endothermic substance during dissolution that absorbs heat when dissolved, and an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt. It is characterized in that the moistened water-absorbing polymer is housed separately from each other so that they can be mixed during use.

Several methods are already known for separating and storing a powder of an endothermic substance and a water-absorbing polymer swollen by absorbing an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt when dissolved so that they can be mixed together during use, and the present invention also uses these methods. For example, as described above, both substances are sealed in a water-impermeable outer bag made of plastic or the like, separated by a water-impermeable inner bag or partition, and when used, the outer bag is rubbed by hand to remove the inside. The inner bag or septum of the container may be ruptured to allow mixing of both substances.

[Function] Water-absorbing polymers can absorb water 500 to 1000 times or more by weight, and the absorbed water does not release water even if some pressure is applied. The release of is extremely slow even when it comes into contact with an endothermic substance during dissolution. Furthermore, the water-absorbing polymer does not melt or release absorbed water at summer temperatures.

Moreover, since the inorganic salts are pre-dissolved in the water to be absorbed into the water-absorbing polymer, the higher the concentration of the inorganic salts, the slower the rate at which the endothermic substance dissolves in the aqueous inorganic salt solution.

Therefore, in the present invention, due to the synergistic effect of the water-absorbing polymer and the inorganic salt aqueous solution absorbed therein, when the endothermic substance during dissolution comes into contact with the water-absorbing polymer, This is because the rate at which endothermic substances dissolve when dissolved in an aqueous solution of free inorganic salts becomes extremely slow.

The concentration of inorganic salts in the aqueous solution is preferably 10% by weight or more, more preferably 50% by weight or more in order to obtain a long-term cooling effect.The higher the concentration, the longer the cooling effect lasts, so the desired cooling time can be determined. The concentration is adjusted as appropriate depending on the length of the inorganic salt, but as an upper limit concentration, the inorganic salt can be dissolved in hot water at 100° C. to a saturated state, and the inorganic salt can be absorbed into the water-absorbing polymer as it is.

The amount of the inorganic salt aqueous solution absorbed by the water-absorbing polymer varies depending on the concentration of the inorganic salt and the amount of the endothermic substance used during dissolution, but is usually 2.5 to 1 times the weight of the water-absorbing polymer.
It is preferable that the water-absorbing polymer is about 0 times more.It should be noted that the water-absorbing polymer absorbs an aqueous solution and swells, making it easier to agglomerate.It should be noted that a granule-like water-absorbing polymer does not become sticky even when it swells, and is an endothermic substance when dissolved. It has the advantage of being easy to mix with other powders.
