Claims15
A cold pack device for cooling a portion of a human body comprising:
- a band member configured to encircle said body portion in a self-supporting manner;
- a cold pack housing adjustably connected to the band member, having an outer layer for contacting the body portion and an inner layer, the cold pack housing defining an interior chamber containing a cold pack, the housing having an opening in a side extending through the outer and inner layers;
- the housing having a thickness such that the cold pack is recessed from the outer layer;
- wherein when said band member encircles the body portion in a self-supporting manner, said outer layer contacts the body portion and said cold pack is maintained in a position spaced from said body portion, with said opening located between the cold pack and the body portion, thereby allowing thermal migration from said cold pack through said opening directly to said body portion.

A cold pack device for cooling a human head comprising:
- a band member configured to encircle said head in a self-supporting manner;
- a plurality cold pack housings adjustably connected to the band member, each housing having an outer layer for contacting the head an inner layer,and an interior chamber containing a cold pack, each housing having an opening in a side extending through the outer and inner layers and having a thickness such that the cold pack is recessed from the outer layer;
- wherein when said band member encircles the head in a self-supporting manner, each housing is oriented such that the outer layer contacts head and said cold pack is maintained in a position spaced from said head, with said opening located between the cold pack and the head, thereby allowing thermal migration from said cold pack through said opening directly to said body portion.
