A head cooling implement capable of covering the human skull like a cap for medical treatment. It comprises a main body consisting of a cooling piece for covering the top of the head and a plurality of cooling pieces radially arranged around the first-mentioned cooling piece for covering the front, sides and back of the head, each cooling piece being in the form of a sealed bag containing a coolant; a stretchable belt applied to the chin so as to bring the head top cooling piece of the main body into close contact with the top of the head; another stretchable belt adapted to bring the other cooling pieces of the main body into close contact with the skull at suitable places therearound; and a heat insulating cap to be put over the main body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is a head cooling implement comprising a main body consisting of a unit cooling piece polygonal or circular in shape for covering the top of the head and a plurality of unit cooling pieces radially arranged around the first-mentioned unit cooling piece for covering the front, sides and back of the head, a peripheral belt for bringing the plurality of unit cooling pieces of the main body, i.
e.
, those unit cooling pieces which cover the front, sides and back of the head, into close contact with the periphery of the skull, a vertical belt applied to the chin to bring the head top cooling piece into close contact with the head top, and a heat insulating cap to be put over the main body to prevent the cold provided by the main body from escaping to the outside and to shut off the outside air.
The heat insulating cap principally intended to retain cold, in contrast with the main body principally intended to effect cooling, may be in the form of a cap having a chin strap or fastener-equipped belt attached thereto for fixing.
Further, in order to produce a stronger clamping action on the main body and hence on the skull, it is advantageous to provide the heat insulating cap with a size adjusting band adapted to engage a locking portion wherein the central portion is provided on the forehead region and the opposite end portions are provided on the opposite sides of the heat insulating cap.
The main body of the head cooling implement of the present invention is arranged so that when put on it is capable of covering the entire skull and so that it is mounted on the skull at all times.
Further, prior to being mounted, the main body is powerfully cooled in a refrigerator.
Thus, if the coolant held inside is of such a nature as will freeze as a whole upon cooling, it would give pain to the patient or other wearer and can hardly be closely contacted with the skull.
Thus, it is preferable that the coolant used in the main body of the present invention be of such a nature as will not lose its suitable degree of softness as a whole even if cooled in a refrigerating chamber
