Thermal Safety Helmet

Abstract

A pliable padded thermal safety helmet that conforms to a patient's head. The helmet has an exterior layer that protects a patient from impact injuries, has an interior surface that secures a removable thermal packs that provide hot or cold therapy depending on the treatment intended for an injury, infection, etc. The thermal packs are removably attached to the inside surface of the thermal safety helmet at any desired location inside the thermal safety helmet to provide heat or cold to specific areas of a patient's head.

I Claim: 
     
         1 . A thermal safety helmet for treating head conditions, comprising:
 an exterior layer of impact resistant material that provides protection from the external impacts;   an interior lining, the interior lining fabricated from material suitable for attachment to a thermal pack;   at least one thermal pack, each thermal pack having a first side suitable for attachment to the interior lining, and a second side fabricated with material similar to the interior lining;   whereby, the thermal safety helmet provides impact protection to a patient and provides thermal packs for the application of heat or cold to specific areas of a patient's head.   
     
     
         2 . A thermal safety helmet, as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the interior lining is attached to the exterior layer by hook and loop material.   
     
     
         3 . A thermal safety helmet, as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the exterior layer is fabricated from foam material.   
     
     
         4 . A thermal safety helmet, as in  claim 3 , wherein:
 the foam material is Poron.   
     
     
         5 . A thermal safety helmet, as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the exterior layer is fabricated from EVA material.   
     
     
         6 . A thermal safety helmet, as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the exterior layer is fabricated from pliant material.   
     
     
         7 . A thermal safety helmet, as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 a exterior layer is fabricated substantially from EVA.
