Definitions
- a hot or cold pack is provided in which two'materials are normally separated'from each other in separate compartments and in which the materials are mixed to produce a chemical reaction'between the materials when one of the compartments is ruptured.
- the pack includes a third material such as a form of starch which is stored in one of the compartments and which responds to the mixture of the two materials to produce a gel.
- the production of the gel has certain advantages.
- Another advantage is that the. gel prolongs the time during which the heat or c'old'can be applied to the desired position.
- This invention relates generally to hot and cold packs for generating heat or cold through the reaction of chemicals and more specifically to the addition of a material which forms a gel with the other materials in such packs.
- the formation of a gel in such-packs prolongs the period during which heat is transferred to or from the apparatus.
- the formation of a gel also prevents the heat-producing material in the packs from being displaced to insure that the heat or cold is applied continuously and efficiently to a desired object.
- Hot and cold packs are now in use for applying heat or cold to desired objects such as localized positions on a persons body.
- the hot or cold packs generally employ a first material in a first compartment and a material such as water in a second compartment which is sealed within the first compartment.
- the first and second materials have properties of reacting chemically with each other when the second compartment is ruptured as by a sharp blow to the pack.
- the first and second materials react chemically in an exothermic reaction.
- the first and second materials react chemically in an endothermic reaction.
- the invention includes a first sealed compartment containing particles of a first material such as calcium chloride or ammonium nitrate. Particles of a suitable material such as a starch are mixed with the particles of the first material in the first compartment.
- the first compartment is preferably disposed within ,a sealed second compartment containing a second material such as water and having rupturable properties.
- the materials in the two compartments become mixed.
- the first material in the first compartment reacts chemically with the water in the second compartment to generate heat if the reaction is exothermic and to. generate cold if the reaction is endothermic.
- the starch in the first compartment forms a paste when the temperature of the pack reaches a particular temperature such as approximately F.
- the pa'ste serves as a gel to partially solidify the pack.
- the gel allows the pack to. be bent to any desired shape such that it can be applied to objects of particular shape such as a persons knee.
- the gel prevents the material in the pack from moving downwardly to the bottom of the pack. This is important in insuring that the heat will be generated continuously at the position where it is desired to apply the heat such as a patients knee.
- the starch forms a gel and impedes the movements of the materials in'the pack, it does not prevent the chernicalreaction between the materials in the pack.
- the inclusion of the starch in the pack isadvantageous to the chemical reaction between the materialsin the pack since it slows the rate at which the chemical reaction occurs and thus prolongs the life of the pack.
- the starch is further advantageous since it is compatible with the other materials in the pack and does not react chemically-with any of these other materials in the pack to prevent thesematerials from reacting chemically with each other to produce heat or cold.
- a modified form of starch such as tapioca is included in the first compartment.
- the tapioca is precooked so that it will form a paste immediately when the materials in the two compartments react chemically. Because of this, the starch in the cold pack forms a paste immediately and without any requirement that the cold pack reach a specified temperature.
- the pack is capable of being applied to humans, animals, birds, reptiles, and inanimate objects.
- the pack 11 is composed of a container or bag 13 having walls 15.
- the container 13 will typically be formed from a flexible plastic such as polyethylene so that the container 13 canbe sealed by heat treating the walls 15.
- a rupturable bag 21 is preferably disposed within the container 13.
- a first chemical 19 is disposed within the container 13 and at least one second chemical 17 such as water is disposed in the rupturable bag 21.
- the first and second chemicals 17 and 19 react with each other upon contact to either give off or absorb heat in a temperature-altering reaction. At least one of the chemicals icals 17 and 19 be easily mixed so that the timing of the temperature-altering reaction can be predetermined and controlled.
- the chemicals 17 and 19 must also be compatible with the material used for the walls of container 13.
- the walls 15 must be capable of containing not only'the chemicals 17 and 19 but also any chemicals or compounds which are produced as a result of the temperature altering reaction.
- ammonium nitrate and water are particularly adapted for use in the rupturable bag 21 as the chemical 17 and the ammonium nitrate is disposed within the container 13.
- the pack 11 with the features described above may be constructed in a manner similar to that described and claimed in application Ser. No. 809,870 filedon Mar. 24, I969, by Thomas E. Cornwall and Maurice A. Lynch, Jr., now abandoned, and assigned of record to the assignee of this application.
- the bag 13 canbe struck, thereby rupturing the rupturable container 21 and releasing the water in one container to be mixed with the first chemical 19 in the container 13.
- the chemical reaction is facilitated by shaking the container 13 back and forth to expedite the mixture of the chemicals 17 and 19.-
- the first chemical l9 constitutes calcium chloride
- the reaction is exothermic so that heat is released.
- the first chemical l9 constitutes ammonium nitrate
- the reaction is endothermic so that heat is absorbed from the surrounding area and cold is generated in this area.
- Materials such as calcium chloride and ammonium nitrate are desirable as the first chemical 19 since they are inexpensive and since they release or absorb considerable heat per unit of volume.
- the use of water as the chemical 17 is desirable since it is plentiful and inexpensive and reacts fully and efficiently with the chemical'l9.
- The'chemicals l7 and 19 are further advantageous in that they are chemically neutral relative to their respective bags 13 and 21 before and after their chemical reaction with each other.
- a suitable material such as a starch 23 is mixed with the. chemical 19 in the container 13.
- the starch 23 inhibits the temperature-altering reaction by placing at least a portion of the chemicals 17 and 19 in suspension so that they are temporarily isolated from the temperature-altering reaction. As the isolated chemicals become available to the reaction, more heat or cold is developed. In this manner, the starch 23 is also a prolongingmeans which extends the period during which the temp'eraturealtering reaction effectively generates heat or cold.
- the starch 23 offers certain additional advantages.
- the starch 23 provides for an efficient transfer of heat between the pack and a contiguous object, particularly when the object has an individual shape. For example, when the object constitutes a persons knee or leg 25 such as shown in FIG. 5, the pack l1 may be wrapped over the leg 25.
- the starch 23 retains the material in the pack along the full length of the pack so that the leg 25 receivesheat from the chemical reaction of such materials along the full length of the pack. This is in contrast to the prior art where the material in the pack has tended to flow to the opposite ends of the pack because these opposite ends constitute the lowest positionsin the pack.
- the inclusion ,of the starch 23 in the pack also offers other advantages.
- the starch forms a gel with the other materials in the pack, it inhibits the opportunity of the water to reach the first chemical 19 immediately.
- the gel has characteristics which allow the first and second chemicals to reach each other to provide for a continued chemical reaction since the gel is physically consistent and does not coagulate. This tendsto prolong the time during which the chemical reaction between the firstchemical 19 and the chemical 17 such'as water occurs so that the operative life of the pack is accordingly enhanced.
- the operative life of the pack' has been increased by as much as 20 percent by including the starch 23.
- the starch 23 also serves the function of resisting the convection of heat from the interior regions 27 of the container 13 to the walls 15. This results from the fact that the gel formed in the pace prevents the material in the pack from sloshing around to present different material tothe surface of the pack. With the convection of heat thus inhibited, heat transfer from the interior regions 27 to the walls 15 is substantially accomplished by conduction. For example, heat which exists in amolecule at the interior regions27 of container 13 cannot be carried by that molecule to the walls 15. That heat must be passed between adjacent molecules until it reaches the walls 15.
- the starch'23 thereby prolongs the period of time in which the pack is able to transfer heat between the pack and a contiguous object to which the pack is applied.
- the transfer of heat is also prolonged because the starch provided the pack with an increased mass for the same volume withinthe pack 11 and for the same surface area of the pack so that the heat is retained within the pack for an increased period of time.
- the starch 23 When used in a hot pack, the starch 23 may be any suitable type of corn starch and may be included .in the pack in an amount of approximately l2 to 16 grams when approximately 66 grams of calcium chloride are used and approximately 100 grams of water are used.
- the starch 2'3 is preferably not precooked. Because of this, the calcium chloride and the water react chemicallyto produce a temperature of approximately 160F to cook the starch.
- the starchbecomes cooked it is able to form a paste with the water in a manner similar to that described above.'Be delaying the formation of the paste, the reaction between the calcium chloride and the water is facilitated for a limited period of time.
- tion constitutes a pregelatinized (precooked) tapioca starch which provides high water-binding properties and relatively high viscosity.
- a suitable amount of starch such as approximately 1 l to grams of tapioca may be used with approximately 127 grams of ammonium nitrate and lOO grams of water. Since the starch is precooked, it operates immediately to form a paste with the water. This in turn produces a gel wtih the other materials in the pack. This is desirable because ammonium'chloride reacts with water at a different rate in the cold pack than the rate atwhich calcium chloride reacts with water in the hot pack.
- the starch used in the cold pack is also precooked in the cold pack since the pack is not able to generate any heat to cook the starch.
- the starch in the hot and cold packs is in the form of particles rather than granules. This is desirable since granules would tend to accumulate at the position of sealing the container 13 and would tend to prevent the container from being effectively sealed.
- FIG. 2 A second embodiment of the pack 11 is shown in FIG. 2.
- the container or bag 13 is shown with a marginal region 29 around the periphery of the container 13 and a seam 31 connecting the marginal region 29 with'the 'bag 21.
- the container or bag 13 is typically cOnstructed of a flexible plastic such as polyethylene and the marginal region 29 and the seam 31 is typically formed by heat sealing.
- the seam 31 is weaker than the seals around the remaining portions of the container 13 and the bag 21.
- the first chemical 19 and the starch 23 are disposed in the container 13.
- the second 6 chemical 17 such as water is disposed in the bag 21.
- the bag 21 is typically struck, thereby opening seam 31 so that the first and second chemicals l9 and 17 can be mixed.
- the .opening in the seam 31 occurs so that the container 13' and the bag 21 form a single sealed compartment.
- the chemicals 19 and 17 react chemically when mixedand the starch 23 forms a gel with these chemicals in a manner similar to that described above.
- the material such as calcium chloride and ammonium nitrate may be mixed in a bag with the material such as starch I which is to form a paste when the pack is used.
- the material such as starch I which is to form a paste when the pack is used.
- water is poured through an opening in the container holding the chemicals.
- a clip may be provided in the bag 21 and may be removed to provide a mixing of the chemicals when the pack is to be used.
- said gel-producing means comprises particles of a material having properties of holdingat least one of said chemicals in suspension whereby said chemical is temporarily isolated at least-in part from said temperature-altering reaction and the time during which said chemical enters said reaction is prolonged.
- one of the chemicals is water and the gel-producing means has the property of absorbing water and.
- means are provided for separating the water from the other chemical and the gelproducing means and for providing for a mixing of the water with the other chemical and the gelproducing means when the pack is to be used to generate heat or cold.
