Temperature control pouch attachment systems

Abstract

Temperature control pouch attachment system, Frio, is a backpack (or other item) attachment with an insulated pouch, a gel ice pack, and heating pack. The device may be attached to a backpack or other item using various methods of attachment and it is removably coupled to, a backpack, car seat, suit jacket, police, military, and K9 vests. The pouch has 3 layers; the inside layer being waterproof; the second layer consists of an insulation material to keep the coolness or heat inside, and the outside layer is a polyester fabric material that will wick away any moisture created by the user wearer.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . A temperature control pouch comprising:
 a pouch with:
 a body having a back body and a front body; 
 a side fastener; 
 a top surface; 
 a bottom surface; 
 and 
 an inner volume flanked by two nylon fabric layers with fastener holes; 
   an end fastener;   a temperature insert comprising
 a double-sided cooling pack with a gel-pack side and a hard-pack side and fastener holes, 
 or 
 a heating pack with fastener holes, 
   and   a fastener inside of the pouch attached to the fastener holes in the nylon fabric layers and the fastener holes in the temperature insert,   wherein the side fastener reversibly closes the inner volume.   
     
     
         2 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 1  wherein the fastener is a two piece grommet fastener inside of the pouch having:
 a male piece extending through the grommet holes in the nylon fabric layers and the grommet holes in the temperature insert; 
 and 
 a female grommet piece that locks onto the male grommet piece and thereby secures the temperature insert between the nylon fabric layers. 
 
     
     
         3 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 2  wherein the heating pack is microwavable. 
     
     
         4 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 2  wherein the temperature insert comprises creases that facilitate bending or form-fitting. 
     
     
         5 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 4  further comprising dog-harness-type straps. 
     
     
         6 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 5  further comprising mounts arranged to engage a modular carrying pouch. 
     
     
         7 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 4  further comprising backpack-type straps. 
     
     
         8 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 4  further comprising mounts arranged to engage a modular carrying pouch. 
     
     
         9 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 8  wherein the front body comprises or sits adjacent to a moisture wicking fabric layer. 
     
     
         10 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 3  further comprising an aluminized mylar layer. 
     
     
         11 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 10  further comprising a foam insulation layer. 
     
     
         12 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 11  further comprising an insulating fabric layer. 
     
     
         13 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 8  wherein the first nylon fabric layer divides the inner volume from the moisture wicking fabric layer. 
     
     
         14 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 13  wherein the second nylon fabric layer divides the inner volume from the back body. 
     
     
         15 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 14  wherein the insulating fabric layer sits between the first nylon fabric layer and the moisture wicking fabric layer. 
     
     
         16 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 15  wherein the mylar layer sits between the second nylon fabric layer and the back body. 
     
     
         17 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 15  wherein the foam insulation layer sits between the second nylon fabric layer and the back body. 
     
     
         18 . The temperature control pouch of  claim 17  wherein the side-fastener comprises a zipperable-fastener. 
     
     
         19 . A temperature control pouch comprising:
 a pouch with:
 a body having a back body and having a front body that comprises or sits adjacent to a moisture wicking fabric layer; 
 a side fastener; 
 a top surface; 
 a bottom surface; 
 an end fastener; 
 an inner volume flanked by two nylon fabric layers with grommet holes; 
 an insulating fabric layer between the first nylon fabric layer and the moisture wicking fabric layer; 
 a mylar layer between the second nylon fabric layer and the back body; 
 foam insulation layer between the second nylon fabric layer in the back body; 
 backpack-type straps; 
 mounts arranged to engage a modular carrying pouch; 
 and 
   a temperature insert comprising creases that facilitate bending or form-fitting and
 a double-sided cooling pack with a gel-pack side and a hard-pack side and grommet holes, 
 or 
 a microwavable heating pack with grommet holes, 
   and   a two-piece grommet fastener with a locking configuration inside of the pouch having
 a male grommet piece that extends through the grommet holes in the nylon fabric layers and the grommet holes in the temperature insert, 
 and 
 a female grommet piece that locks onto the male grommet piece and thereby secures the temperature insert between the nylon fabric layers, 
   wherein the side fastener reversibly closes the inner volume.   
     
     
         20 . A method of using a temperature control pouch comprising:
 providing the temperature control pouch of  claim 1 ;   installing a cooling pack in the inner volume;   and   wearing the item.
