Abstract
A directable, portable appliance in combination with an adjustable set-point digital temperature controller for non-contact remotely monitoring infrared temperatures of a selected area of human skin and activating an electrical fan for directing cooling air over the selected skin areas of individuals experiencing episodes of thermal chaos, i.e., hot flashes.
Claims19
A portable, non-contact, infrared temperature activated cooling device for minimizing discomfort of an individual experiencing a hot flash, the device comprising:
- a cooling fan with blower motor for generating cooling air when activated;
- a power control relay for activating the cooling fan blower motor;
- a directable, non-contact, infrared sensing temperature transmitter probe for remotely sensing temperature of a target skin area of a human-being prone to experiencing hot or cold skin surface temperature variations;
- and
- a digital temperature controller in which a desired setpoint temperature can be set, wherein when the sensing probe senses a temperature of the target skin area at a temperature above the setpoint, cooling air is generated for cooling the individual until the temperature of the target skin area falls below the temperature setpoint of the digital temperature controller.
