Abstract
Present disclosure provides a cooling device with safety features and methods for controlling temperature of the cooling device for safe cooling of target surface.
Claims15
A method of controlling temperature of a handheld cooling device to safely cool a target surface, the method comprising:
- i) providing the handheld cooling device, wherein the handheld cooling device comprises a cooling medium;
- ii) cooling the cooling medium to reach a standby temperature;
- and
- iii) cooling the cooling medium to a target temperature when a) a contact with a target surface is detected within a standby contact time, b) an actuation is detected within a standby trigger time, or both, wherein the target temperature is lower than the standby temperature.
1 more element
A handheld cooling device for safely cooling a target surface, the device comprising:
- i) a cooling medium;
- ii) a target surface contact element;
- iii) a target surface contact detection module configured to detect contact of the target surface contact element with the target surface;
- iv) an input element;
- v) an input element detection module configured to detect actuation of the input element;
- and
- vi) a control module configured to receive a standby temperature, a standby contact time, a standby trigger time, and a target temperature, wherein the control module comprises a temperature control member configured to cooling the cooling medium to a target temperature when a) a contact with a target surface is detected within a standby contact time, b) an actuation is detected within a standby trigger time, or both, wherein the target temperature is lower than the standby temperature.
