KR-20260062654-A - A cold and hot pack with a handle and a method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a heat pack for delivering heat or cold to the general public as well as to patients and the elderly, comprising: a non-metallic inorganic material, heat storage stone, and silicon resin selected from vermiculite, feldspar, illite, zeolite, red clay, kaolin, charcoal, palm, bamboo, maifan stone, jade, tourmaline, germanium, marble, and granite, or a mixture of two or more thereof, formed using a silicon resin, divided into equal intervals by vertical grooves (13) and horizontal grooves (14), and having upper and lower contact surfaces (11) (12) formed to increase the contact rate with the body; and a handle (20) integrally formed on the body (10) and provided to make it easy to grip by desensitizing heat or cold. Accordingly, the present invention provides high thermal conductivity and skin adhesion, so that cold and heat are clearly transmitted, and a handle is attached so that the user can easily grip it, and there is almost no breakage of the hot pack and the contents are not discharged to the outside at all, thereby clearly reducing surrounding contamination and aversion, and provides an effect of providing a temperature beneficial to the body through a soft contact surface.

In configuring a hot/cold pack for delivering heat or cold to patients and the elderly as well as to the general public: a non-metallic inorganic material selected from vermiculite, feldspar, illite, zeolite, red clay, kaolin, charcoal, palm, bamboo, maifan stone, jade, tourmaline, germanium, marble, and granite, or a mixture of two or more thereof, and a heat-storing stone and silicone resin, formed using a flat body (10) which is divided into equal intervals by vertical grooves (13) and horizontal grooves (14) and has upper and lower contact surfaces (11)(12) formed to increase the contact rate with the body; and A hot and cold compress pack with a handle attached, characterized by comprising: a handle (20) integrally formed on the body (10) and provided to make it easy to grip by desensitizing heat or cold.

Description

A cold and hot pack with a handle and a method of manufacturing the same The present invention relates to a hot and cold compress pack equipped with a handle and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, it relates to a compress pack that is effective in providing a temperature beneficial to the body through a soft contact surface, and a method for manufacturing the same, which has high thermal conductivity and skin adhesion so that cold and warm air are clearly transmitted, has a handle attached so that the user can easily grip it, has almost no breakage rate of the compress pack and does not leak the contents out at all so as to clearly reduce surrounding contamination and aversion. Generally, unlike the Western lifestyle where people prefer a simple bathing culture such as taking a light shower at home every day, Koreans have a widely popularized practice of saunas due to the influence of ondol culture. With the improvement of living standards, this popularized form of sauna is now widely used not only for simple fatigue recovery but also for pain relief and treatment purposes—such as muscle pain, bruises, back pain, joint pain, and neuralgia—in places like Korean medicine clinics and physical therapy rooms in hospitals. Consequently, numerous sauna packs have been developed and are in use. Figure 1 is a front view showing the actual usage of a conventional hot pack. It can be seen that the adhesion rate to the body is significantly lower in the case of a conventional hot pack. When looking at the hot/cold pack (100) developed in this way, there are many cases where the product is completed by separately injecting contents such as gel, ceramic, alkamo, sand, and liquid water into the inner part formed by laminating the upper and lower surfaces of the outer shell (101) formed of materials such as cotton, soft PVC, or urethane. The biggest problem with the conventional hot pack in which contents (102) are filled inside the outer shell (101) is that when the outer shell (101) is damaged or torn by impact, the contents (102) inside burst out, soiling or contaminating the user's clothes and skin, and in some cases, even causing burns. A more frequently raised problem is that the part of the hot pack that adheres to the body is hard or does not adhere widely, so the transmission power of cold or heat is extremely low. Furthermore, when listening to the usage patterns of physical therapists, it is reported that hot and cold compresses are made into warm or cold compresses by actions such as putting them in a microwave, boiling water, or putting them in a refrigerator, and then used on multiple users. As a result of using a single compress thousands of times, the worn outer shell (101) becomes even more worn or thin due to high or very low temperatures, and eventually, there are numerous reports that the contents (102) are expelled. In addition, according to professional users of hot packs, there are frequent problems where, when the contents (102) burst, the foul odor permeates the bed or the user's clothes, and even if washed, it does not come off, so the entire bed cover must be replaced. Another problem is that when touching a hot pack for the first time, the user often endures the fact that it is too hot or too cold, and holds the entire pack to use it on the necessary area, which frequently results in burns. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the heat treatment effect is low because the contact area with the skin is not very large, and if one examines the cross-section of a conventional hot pack (see Figure 1), it is curved in a ‘∩’ shape, so the contact area with the necessary area of the skin is narrow, the heat transfer path is weak, and the heat treatment effect is somewhat reduced. Meanwhile, looking at an embodiment of Korean Utility Model Registration No. 374080, it presents a ‘sand pack for hot compresses characterized by being formed with a surface layer (100a) and a back layer (100b), wherein a plurality of seam portions (110) are formed between the surface layer (100a) and the back layer (100b) to divide the pack into multiple pockets (120), and a heating element (200) made of coarse sand or sand is placed in each divided pocket (120) and sealed, and used in a heated state of about 50°C to 60°C.’ However, these sand packs for hot compresses are constructed by simply using a surface layer and a back layer to form multiple pouches and filling them with sand for hot compresses. While this configuration may provide a high-temperature effect through the sand inside, the outer shell formed by the surface layer and back layer can easily tear or break due to frequent use, causing the sand contained inside to escape or be discharged, rendering the pack unusable. Additionally, the hardness of the contained sand can cause discomfort to the body.
