- Cloaks with a cooling liquid existing cloak can be applied particularly quickly and easily by being dressed like a normal garment.
- 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 shoulder pads are formed of foam.
- the cape in order to ensure a cooling of the arms, includes corresponding sleeves.
- the person can also wear the cape in the manner of a poncho over the arms and thus also cool the arms accordingly.
- the cape can also have a hood with cooling elements contained therein.
- this can have at least one preferably closable opening.
- the opening as usual with garments, be provided continuously over only a portion of the length of the cape or over the entire length from top to bottom.
- At least one opening may be formed by a corresponding zipper. This ensures a rapid opening and closing of the cape and thus a quick application.
- At least one opening can also be closed by a hook-and-loop fastener.
- 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.
- a billboard can be inserted in the transparent bag or a Velcro or the like on the back provided
- 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.
- ultrapure water is preferably used.
- the heat of fusion in water that is, the heat that the ice absorbs to become liquid, is relatively high at 335 kJ / kg.
- a heat-insulating layer can be arranged on the side of the cooling elements facing away from the body. This heat-insulating layer may be formed of suitable materials having poor thermal conductivity, which are easy to process.
