COOLING FLUID CONTAINER

摘要

The invention is a cooling pillow container insert (10) which provides a continuous cool pillow surface and absorbs a pillow user's lost metabolic heat. Preventing thermal discomfort which causes pillow flipping and tossing and turning is the primary goal of the invention. The container (10) slides between a conventional pillow (12) and pillow case (11). The container (10) is composed of a soft vinyl bag (13) which snugly surrounds a fluid saturated porous foam core (15). A resealable valve (29) allows fluid to be added or removed at will and the container's temperature to be adjusted. The container (10) promotes heat transfer from the pillow user (60) to the container (10). The heat is then dispersed uniformly throughout the container's fluid ensuring a uniformly cool pillow surface. Heat is also continuously lost to the surrounding environment. A pillow user's sleep is enhanced in warm temperatures without using an energy source. The container insert (10) can also be used with or without a pillow, as a cooling bed for an animal or a pet (71).
