Personal cooling system

Abstract

This invention relates to a device for personal cooling, warming and general hygiene. More particularly, it relates to the use of thermo-electric technology for personal cooling or warming to give relief from heat or chills and perspiration to anyone, anywhere. The system of this invention comprises a thermo-electric module that which in turn comprises a solid-state thermo-electric chip. The system also includes a heat sink, a cold sink and a direct current power source a well as a switch and associated hardware.

1 . A personal cooling/warming system comprising: 
 a thermo-electric module further comprising a solid state thermo-electric integrated chip;    a cold sink connected to said solid state thermo-electric integrated circuit chip,    a direct current source connected to said thermo-electric module;    a heat sink connected to said thermo-electric module;    a thermally conductive pad thermodynamically contacting said heat sink whereby said pad comes into contact with the skin of a user; and    a switch connected in series with said direct current source.    
   
   
       2 . The personal cooling/warming system of  claim 1  wherein said direct current source comprises pairs of cells in a round first housing which also may serve as a foldable handle via a hinge connected between said first housing and a second rectangular housing around the said thermo-electro module.
