MULTIPURPOSE COOLING AND BODY SECRETION ABSORBING GARMENT
AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING AND USING THE SAME
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Absorbent towels are commonly used for effective wiping and drying the skin
during periods where
increased body temperature or physical exertions cause the body to secrete
oils, perspiration and other
substances. Typically, a towel can be worn around the body, or it must be
carried until used to wipe and
remove said secretions. However, towels are generally insulating in their
nature and can become
increasingly warm and uncomfortable around the body areas that remain covered
or contacted with a
towel until used. Therefore, it is the intent of the present invention to
address the warming and/or
increasing body temperature issues associated with the wearing andlor storage
locations of garments or
articles possessing insulating properties on or around parts of the body, by
providing cooling relief with
convenient utilitarianism of wiping and absorbing bodily secretions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The multipurpose functionality and benefits of the present invention include
supplying users with a
sectional garment comprising one or more comfortable body heat absorbing and
heat dissipating
evaporative cooling sections) which remain in comfortable contact with a user,
that may remain attached
to two body secretion wiping andlor drying, moisture and body heat absorbent
sections, which lightly
cover, but do not remain in tight contact with the user which further provide
flexible options of being
attached or released from each other, thereby supplying users with additional
options of carrying or
hanging said fabric sections wherever convenient, while simultaneously and
continuously benefiting from
enhanced body heat absorption and dissipation resulting from heat energy
transferring processes
occurring on and within said sections) remaining in contact with the body
during use.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present art includes two absorbent fabric sections that are similar in
size and appearance, each
comprised of one absorbent fabric length in the shape of a rectangular apex,
utilised for wiping and
absorbing bodily secretions, and due to their positioning in relation to
utilising the present invention, to
further facilitate evaporation of absorbed moisture, thereby lowering actual
temperatures of each said
absorbent fabric section.
Said two absorbent fabric sections that promote evaporation may further
function to protect a user from
light and heat energy and display graphical images and messages.
The vertex of each said absorbent fabric section can be joined to or released
from the vertex of its'
complimenting absorbent fabric section by utilising compatible findings such
as, but not limited to, snap
fasteners, Velcro or buckles affixed to said vertex of each absorbent fabric
section thereon.
A pocket including congruently affixed findings functioning to secure and
store small articles such as coins
or credit cards, may be attached to either or both said absorbent fabric
sections) thereon, or fashioned
with each said absorbent fabric length therefrom.
Said elongate sealed capsule section is constructed from a flexible material
such as, but not limited to,
polyester, cotton, or any combination of natural and synthetic fibres,
provided said fabric utilised to
manufacture said capsule promotes rapid moisture penetration and conductance
of heat energy into and
out of a core of permanently contained granulated moisture and heat absorbent,
distensible copolymer.
One or more said compatible findings identical to those affixed to the vertex
of each said absorbent fabric
section will be affixed to each end of said capsule component, each finding
further functioning to
permanently seal each end of said capsule. Materials utilised to produce said
capsule section might
further be printed upon to display light reflective or non-light reflective
graphics or messages.
Said absorbent fabric sections' vertexes may be joined to or released from one
end of said elongate
capsule section thereon, through incorporating similar said compatible
findings affixed to said vertex of
each absorbent fabric length.
Intentional uses of said present invention, relating to all forthcoming
embodiments include releasing both
said absorbent fabric lengths from said ends of said capsule section, if so
presently joined, wherethen
CA 02472410 2004-06-28
said capsule section is soaked in potable water, whereby said water penetrates
said capsule section's
fabric exterior, thereby contacting said encapsulated core of granulated
absorbent copolymer. Said
granulated absorbent copolymer then absorbs said water, which in turn causes
said granulated copolymer
to swell and fill the entire volume of said capsule section, thus causing said
capsule's distension in both
length and radius.
Upon said encapsulated absorbent copolymer attaining maximum water absorption,
said capsule section
is removed from said water, whereon said vertexes of each absorbent fabric
length may then be re-
attached to each end of said capsule section by joining together said findings
affixed to each absorbent
fabric length's vertex thereon, resulting a first variation of said garment
which may be draped on or hung
around the neck or shoulders, or tied around the head of a user, during which
time said fabric components
comprising said garment continuously promote enhanced heat absorption through
voluntarily wiping warm
bodily secretions, involuntary conductance and dissipation of absorbed heat
energy via evaporation of said
moisture absorbed within each of said garment's sections therein, while
simultaneously providing shielding
and protection from light and heat energy to those parts of the user's anatomy
which are being covered or
contacted by said absorbent fabric lengths and said capsule component
respectively.
An additional embodiment of said present invention may be realised by joining
together each end of said
elongate fabric capsule via a second set of findings that may be affixed
juxtaposed to said first set of
findings affixed said capsule's ends thereon, thereby transforming said
elongate fabric capsule into a
closed loop that may encircle and adapt to parts of a mammal's anatomy, during
which time said
absorbent fabric lengths remain attached to said ends of said elongate fabric
capsule through joining said
first set of findings affixed thereon, while said absorbent fabric lengths and
said elongate capsule
components continuously promote enhanced heat absorption and dissipation
through evaporation of said
moisture and heat absorbed within each said garments' components, while
continuously providing
shielding and protection from light and heat energy to those parts of the
user's anatomy currently covered
or lightly contacted by said absorbent fabric lengths and said capsule
component respectively.
A further embodiment of said present invention may be realised by wearing said
elongate fabric capsule
independently as a closed loop that encircles and adapts to selected parts of
a mammal's anatomy by
joining together each end of said elongate fabric capsule with one or both
sets of said compatible findings
affixed to each end thereon, after detaching said two absorbent fabric lengths
from each end of said
elongate fabric capsule, if so presently joined. Said compatible findings
affixed to said vertexes of said
absorbent fabric lengths may then be joined together to facilitate their
hanging from any user convenient
location such as, but not limited to, the belt loop of a pair of pants, a golf
bag or purse strap, during which
time said elongate capsule component continuously promotes heat absorption and
dissipation through
evaporation of said moisture and heat absorbed within each of said garment's
components, while
continuously shielding and protecting parts of a mammal°s anatomy from
light and heat energy that either
of said garment's components may cover or contact.
An additional and further embodiment of said present invention may be realised
by wearing said elongate
fabric capsule as an independent closed coop that encircles and adapts to
selected parts of a mammal's
anatomy, wherethen said vertexes of each absorbent fabric length are joined
together by said compatible
findings affixed thereon, so as to facilitate their hanging over said closed
loop which currently encircles
part of a user's anatomy, during which time each said absorbent fabric
component(s), and said elongate
capsule component, continuously promote enhanced heat absorption and
dissipation through evaporation
of said moisture and heat previously absorbed within each of said garment's
sections, white continuously
shielding and protecting parts of a mammal's anatomy from radiated heat and
light energy that said
garment's components may cover or contact.
While a user wears either of the aforementioned embodiments of said garment,
said fabric comprising
said elongate capsule section will contact, conduct, and draw body heat from
the user, during which time
said interior volume of said encapsulated and water-imbued copolymer contained
opposite said surface
area of said elongate capsule section's exterior currently contacting said
user absorbs said conducted
body heat. At this time, the exterior surFace areas of said elongate capsule
section not in direct contact
with said user, and said volume of encapsulated, water-imbued copolymer
interior contained opposite said
surface of said elongate capsule section's exposed exterior will become cooler
as a net effect of
evaporative refrigeration.
During use, said elongate capsule is rotated intermittently which exposes said
exterior surface areas
which have been contacting said user to the atmosphere, which have therefore
been warmed thereon and
therein, thus encouraging evaporative refrigeration of said water previously
absorbed within said volume of
CA 02472410 2004-06-28
imbued copolymer situated beneath said semi-permeable fabric capsule's
surface. In addition, as said
rotation of said cooled surface of said elongate capsule again contacts said
user, said volume of
encapsulated copolymer contained opposite said exterior surface of said
elongate capsule is again
permitted to absorb additional body heat conducted through said semi-permeable
fabric comprising said
capsule component.
The evaporative effectiveness of said volume of water imbued within said
elongate capsule section is
enhanced proportionally by elevated temperatures of said water absorbed within
said absorbent
copolymer resulting from body heat conducted within. As said warmed volume and
exterior surface of
said capsule section is exposed to said atmosphere, additional heat is
radiated away from said elongate
capsule section, thus resulting in an elevated dew-point of said atmosphere in
the immediate and effective
vicinity of said elongate capsule section's exterior. As variances between
said local dew-point within said
immediately effected atmosphere and the actual dew-point of atmosphere beyond
said immediately
effected atmosphere surrounding said elongate capsule section increase, said
water imbued within said
absorbent copolymer core will evaporate at proportionally elevated rates
through said semi-permeable
fabric capsule, and into said immediately effected atmosphere, carrying with
said evaporating water,
proportionally elevated joules of said absorbed body heat.
DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
Headbands, or commonly known as sweatbands, have been used for many years in
hot environmental
conditions for absorbing pore secretions. Conventional handkerchief or
neckerchief scarves and
sweatbands are formed from thin fabrics of silk, cotton, rayon or the like.
Various classes of headbands,
sweatbands and scarves have been devised in the prior art that are worn
congruently on a user's body to
absorb oils and perspiration secreted from the pores of a human, which also
provide cooling through
evaporation of water or perspiration. These bands are typically manufactured
with absorbent materials, or
contain absorbent materials that accommodate congruent flexibility around
contours of the body parts that
the bands may encircle or contact. Thus, it has been proposed to provide both
elasticised and non-
elasticised absorbent fabric bands that remain in firm contact with the skin,
while absorbing and containing
andlor evaporating water andlor perspiration.
Canadian Pat. No. 2,121,635 dated December 26, 1995 to FOWLER teaches an
encircling fabric band
with a pocket situated between a selected area, containing a freely disposed
heat and water absorbent
material used to absorb perspiration and moisture, which in turn becomes cool
through evaporation. The
user will apply the fabric band by tying each end of said band together in a
knot around a part of the body,
such as the neck, thereby reducing the likelihood of involuntary band removal,
thereby promoting
absorption and evaporation of perspiration.
A typical sweatband use; described in U.S. Pat. No. 1,434.,854. dated November
27, 1922 to STALL
employs absorbent pads held in place in a pouch upon one's forehead. A user
will apply the elasticised
band upon the head to absorb perspiration therefrom.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,062,157 dated November 5, 1991 to MUTA teaches a towel that
serves additionally as a
headband and head covering held in place by extended elasticised strips that
fasten together at the back
of the head. This band is pulled forward over the head, and is used to remove
perspiration and grime
from the face and neck areas.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,016,287 dated May 21, 1991 to HARRIS relates to a cloth hood
of a towel like material. It
is claimed that the intended use is to wear the towel like hood by a worker or
exerciser when exposed to
heat andlor the rays of the sun, so as to provide covering and absorb
perspiration.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,742,581 dated May 10, 1988 to ROSENTHAL teaches a multi-
layered cooling band
system in the form of an elasticised headband or wristband laminate with
fibreglass or metal mesh or
cotton layers. The single-unit band is claimed to evaporate water with
concurrent cooling of a person's
body and absorption of perspiration.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,502,156 dated March 5, 1985 to WISHMAN relates to a moisture-
absorbent band,
comprising a strip of non-woven fabric, including a plurality of staple
polypropylene fibres as a means
suitable for use within the crown of a hat or the like. This band is claimed
to provide for removal of
perspiration and the like from the skin of human beings.
These and other items in the prior art relate principally to absorbent bands
or headbands, that provide
either insulating utilitarianism, perspiration andlor moisture absorption
andlor cooling functionality.
Canadian Pat. No. 1,182,251 teaches a garment convertible from scarf to mitts
including pockets situated
CA 02472410 2004-06-28
at each end thereon. The scarf is claimed to be used for warmth and the
display of printed matter, while
the pockets accommodate the placing of a user's hands therein for warmth, and
the taught support of said
scarf, so as to display graphics or messages.
Canadian Pat. No. 2,062,586 demonstrates a sock with an integrally formed
pocket claimed to be used for
storage of small articles therein.
Canadian Pat. No. 2,121,635 consists of a pocket containing a freely disposed
heat and water absorbent
polymeric material claimed to be used for the absorption of perspiration
secreted from a person's body.
Although said absorbent polymer used in this application is effective in
absorbing water, if utilised in the
absorption of perspiration, said absorbent polymer will also absorb salts
secreted from the sweat glands of
the person. This absorbent polymer is proven to disintegrate upon absorbing
water with salts dissolved
therein. As such, the polymer will be rendered useless over a short period of
time, thereby proportionally
reducing the volume of polymer and thus its' ability to absorb perspiration.
Furthermore, as this absorbent
polymer disintegrates and reduces in volume, the net volume of water available
to evaporate is reduced
proportionally, thereby reducing the claimed cooling effects.
Moreover, demands of tying and untying a knot to apply band-type garments
equate to additional effort
from users. This added effort is cumbersome to those lacking dexterity
resulting from physically impairing
limitations. In addition, potential safety hazards exists of articles tied in
knots around the neck, should the
encircling bands) become entangled with other objects and require safe and
rapid removal.
Additionally, said bands described in the prior art-forms with said foregoing
specifications that are to be
secured firmly to a wearer through elasticised application result in a net
objectionable effect of discomfort
due to reduced airflow and increasing temperatures to surface areas of a
user's skin where said bands)
remains in firm contact, coupled with impeded blood circulation within
capillary arteries resulting from
contact pressure, thereby reducing internal body cooling normally experienced
through proper and
unimpeded blood circulation.
These and other items in prior art forms relate principally to absorbent bands
or headbands that are
provided as separate articles, comprising various means of cooling for humans,
that are and are not
dependent on evaporative cooling, that provide insulating utilitarianism and
increased warmth, that allow a
user to store small articles, and that further provided perspiration and oil
absorbing functions for humans.
However, there remains a need for a single, variable, sectional garment of
this invention which provides
enhanced quality of life for any mammal, including humans and their pets,
which provides a safe and
rapidly removable evaporative and non-evaporative cooling means particularly
for use in hot weather or
during physical exertion, which is convenient and comfortable to wear and
carry, which does not require
the tying and untying of knots, combined with attachable and releasable freely-
hanging body secretion
wiping and absorbing components that do not remain in firm contact while
maintaining a comfortable
position in relation to a user, which addresses and solves issues of impeded
blood flow within the capillary
arteries, while continually shielding parts of a user's body from light and
heat energy, further providing
functional storage of small articles, combined with an innovative graphical
display means.
