Abstract

Disclosed herein is a pillow having a filler contained therein for providing heat dissipation.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 30 November 2012 (30.11.2012). What is claimed is:
1. A cooling apparatus comprising:
an outer enclosure; and
a filler located in the outer enclosure, the filler comprising a mixture of: a viscous liquid with heat dissipation properties for dissipating heat away from a contacting object to the filler; and
a plurality of beads permitting the viscous liquid to evenly distribute the heat throughout the filler.
2. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the outer enclosure is formed from a nylon-woven fabric.
3. The cooling apparatus according lo claim I, wherein an inner surface of the outer enclosure comprises a polyethylene (PE) coating.
4. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the outer enclosure comprises a cotton fabric.
5. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the beads are circular polystyrene foam beads.
6. The cooling apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the beads have a diameter of approximately one millimeter.
7. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the viscous liquid is a m ixtu re of sod ium polyacratate and water.
8. The cooling apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the mixture comprises approximately 99% water and 1% sodium polyacralate.
9. The cooling apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the viscous liquid is propylene glycol.
10. A cooling apparatus comprising:
a pillow enclosure comprising a first filler; and
a cooling enclosure comprising a viscous liquid with heat dissipation properties;
wherein the pillow enclosure is attached to the cooling enclosure along a common edge to form the cooling pillow, and
wherein, when an object contacts the cooling enclosure, the viscous liquid dissipates heat away from the object to the second filler.
11. The cooling apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the first filler is a polyester fiber fill.
12. The cooling apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the second filler further comprises a plurality of beads mixed with the viscous liquid.
13 , The cooling apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pocket in the outer enclosure; and
a removable ice pack located in the pocket in thermal contact with the viscous liquid.
14. The cooling apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising:
a pocket located in the cooling enclosure; and
a removable ice pack located in the pocket in thermal contact with the viscous liquid.
