Abstract:
A device for installing in a cap and dispensing a cooling medium onto the head of its wearer. The device includes a dispensing portion installed on the interior of the cap, and a cooling medium reservoir that contains and dispenses the cooling medium. The dispensing portion includes a plurality of conduits that are in fluid communication with each other, with their outer walls having a plurality of throughbores. The plurality of conduits have a shunt in fluid communication therewith. The inner walls of the plurality of conduits have thereon a layer of adhesive for attaching the plurality of conduits to the interior of the cap. The dispensing portion further includes a release sheet that cooperates with the layer of adhesive to protect the layer of adhesive prior to attaching the plurality of conduits to the interior of the cap, and as a result of its card stock, provides a simple compact configuration for the dispensing portion. The cooling medium reservoir includes a container for containing the cooling medium, a tube in fluid communication with the cooling medium and the shunt, and apparatus for selectively dispensing the cooling medium from the container, which when activated with the valve of the cooling medium reservoir open, causes the cooling medium to be drawn up through the tube, into the shunt, and through the plurality of throughbores in the plurality of conduits, onto the head of the wearer. The apparatus includes either a bulb pump or gas.
