## Abstract

A cap defines a cap body with a coolant reservoir. The cap is configured with side pockets that receive coolant packs; or the cap carries the coolant reservoir integrated into the cap structure. A cap configured as a swim cap protects and cools the user's hairdo in humid situations and carries a surface décor concealing the traditional austerity of a swim cap design.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cooling cap, comprising:
a cap body;
a first coolant reservoir contained within said cap body; and
a chemical characterized by high enthalpy of fusion contained within said coolant reservoir for, in use, cooling a user's head when the coolant is chilled and the user wears the cap.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cooling cap according to claim 1, wherein:
said cap body defines a plurality of peripheral pockets;
at least one of said pockets extends from a base edge of the cap body to a dome thereof;
said first coolant reservoir is sized to fit into at least one of said plurality of pockets;
said cap further comprises a plurality of additional coolant reservoirs containing a chemical characterized by high enthalpy of fusion, sized to fit into additional pockets selected from said plurality of pockets;
wherein at least one of said coolant reservoirs, selected from said first coolant reservoir and said additional coolant reservoirs, is sized to fit into said pocket extending from the base edge to the dome of the cap body;
whereby the cooling cap is adapted, in use, to cool both the periphery and the dome of the user's head.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cooling cap according to claim 1, wherein:
said cap body is formed of an inner layer and an outer layer and defines said coolant reservoir there between; and
said inner and outer layers of the cap body are formed of a waterproof material, such that the cooling cap is suitable for use as a bathing cap.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cooling cap according to claim 1, wherein:
said cap body is formed of a plurality of at least first and second panels combined at least at a first junction; and
said first coolant reservoir is at least a first conduit that is attached to said cap body at said first junction.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The cooling cap according to claim 4, wherein:
said first conduit is attached intermediate said first and second panels at said first junction, such that the first panel is attached to a first portion of the first conduit and the second panel is attached to a second portion of the first conduit, thereby exposing the first conduit on both faces of the first junction.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The cooling cap according to claim 1, further comprising:
a belt located around the base of the cap body for, in use, drawing closed the base around the head of the user to mitigate against loss of internal cooling during use.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The cooling cap according to claim 1, further comprising:
an outer surface fastener on said cap body;
a wig sized to fit over the outer surface of the cap body, wherein said wig includes an inner surface fastener positioned to mate with said outer surface fastener on the cap body when the wig is applied over the cap body in a preselected relative position suitable for wear.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

Cool Cap can contain, a water-resistant padded liner in addition to the special designed, coolant reservoir contained within said cool cap, according to claim 1, within the cap body.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

Cool cap, has special exclusively designed coolant tubing's strips and special designed wrap-around like coolant tubing which can continually wrap within the cool cap. Both coolant tubing's are filled with coolants as to the first coolant reservoir within in claim 1.

### Claim 10 (depends on 2, 4, 5)

Cool cap, has created special designed pockets are implemented for coolant tubing's as in, claims 2, claim 4, claim 5.

### Claim 11

Cool cap, and its coolant solution properties also has other functions, has capability to transfer and transform the coolant Agents properties into heat, for a warm cap, if deemed.
