BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Conventional use of a “heatsink” or “Heat Sink” has been around for a long time. Commonly they are made of materials that dissipate heat quickly. The principle of use is for one side to be permanently fastened by screws or other clamping device to a heat source, with the opposing side slotted to create fins, in a manner that as cool air moves thru the fins a thermodynamic imbalance is created causing the heat to be drawn away from the heat source towards the cool air in the fins letting the air dissipate the heat from the fins.

Conventional use of a “heatsink” or “Heat Sink” are commonly related to mechanical or electric heat sources, where as a new use and improvements by additional use and additional components will make this an improvement on an existing “heatsink” or “Heat Sink” use.

The present invention is in the technical field of Medical, More particularly the present invention is in the technical field of burn and heat inflammation treatments caused by and/or influenced by internally hosted and/or external elements

Conventional devices and or solutions, such as Lotions, creams and/or sprays are typically used on the skin to provide comfort. These products are usually designed from a mixture of chemicals be it man made of natural. The embodiments of these chemicals are applied wet, prohibiting the use on or near an open wound.

Conventional treatments offer a form of relief by penetrating the skin by way of absorption, thus any relief is subject to the elapsed time needed to absorb such treatments.

Conventional treatments do not offer any method to remove heat from such burns or inflammation. They will hide, mask or deaden the sensation of burns and inflammation, but they do nothing to remove the physical heat

Conventional treatments do not offer any method to remove heat from such burns or inflammation that originate below the skin surface and only affects the skin as an unintentional target to reach a deeper treatment site. This might happen commonly in the treatment of cancer by the use of Radiation beam therapy systems of all types.

Conventional treatments might be the use of an ice bag or a bag full of some other form of frozen media; however the freezing cold temperatures of these Items can prove damaging if applied for an extended time frame. As these items return to their normal temperature they can become moist and sweat offering liquid that can enter an open wound

While these common heatsinks may be suitable for the purposes for which they were designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention, as hereinafter described.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The present invention discloses a new use for an existing patentable item commonly known as a “Heatsink” or “Heat Sink” in a common commercially available embodiment, plus with the additional components described in this application this invention will also provide additional new uses for this commonly known item “heatsink” or “Heat Sink”.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)

In order that the invention may be more fully understood, it will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which FIGS. 1 through 8 illustrate the present invention being an heatsink designed to remove heat from a living entity and/or the removal of heat caused by inflammation of tissue internal or external to a living entity.

This invention relies on prior inventions patentable features and claims. While this invention relies on these prior claims, it also will describe new uses and additions that will make it patentable. Conventional claims and uses for this type of invention might be known as a “heatsink” or “Heat Sink” FIG. (1.1). For this description I will use Heatsink as the common name and spelling as reference only and not to exclude those inventions that are spelled using “Heat Sink”. A heatsink is a block of non-ferrous metal that when cast or milled in a particular manner takes advantage of the thermodynamic properties of that material. By making one side a solid flat surface FIG. (1.4) and the opposing side having fins cut into that surface FIG. (1.2) we have the basic design and structure of a heatsink. Once an item is created, we have a heatsink that uses the principles of thermodynamics. As heat is applied to the flat surface of the heatsink and air is applied to the fins heat will travel from the flat surface to the fins in only one direction. Air moving thru the opposing fins pulls the heat to the fins and dissipates it into the air making the machined surface colder. Common embodiments of heatsinks are designed to protect Items producing high heat with a much cooler ambient temperature surrounding it. This invention addresses two new methods of use we can call out as such. The first new use for this item is to cool and or draw heat out of a living item. These items commonly might include human beings, animals, plants or any other kind of organic, biological item in this or other worlds (space). While the items listed in the prior statement can vary in size, this invention can be scaled to need by a simple calculation of. By making calculations involving side a the heat source side and b the fin side or cooling side we can always provide a minimum cooling factor of 3 to 1 ration. The square measurement unit of the fin surface must be three times minimum larger than the square measurement unit of the heat surface. A larger fin ratio to surface would result in a more powerful cooling and ability to pull heat. These results would appear to offer the following conclusion a unit with a 6 to 1 ratio would be twice as powerful as a unit with a 3 to 1 ratio. The common embodiment of a heatsink allows for a wide fluctuation in temperature between the heat surface and the cool ambient air. A Living item can have a range in the area of 20 degrees between the heat surface and the cool ambient air fin side making the above ratio a unique formula to create a new use for a heatsink. Commonly a heat sink is mounted to a like machined surface to allow for maximum contact with the heat source FIG. (1.3). As most but not all living items that might have need for a heat sink are soft and pliable the new shape and general geometry of the heat surface allows for a new way of making contact with a heat source. As this inventions heat source surface is ether slightly domed FIG. (2.1) to contour into a contour/pocket allowing the surface to have the heat removed to wrap around the heats source side having near 100% contact without a need to be mounted permanently. The other option for a heat source surface would be that of a slight dish shape FIG. (3.1) allowing for it to create a new use of wrapping around a positive contour or bump, again maintaining a near 100% contact without a need to be permanently mounted to draw heat out of living tissue. One key example of this unique new use would be for a woman having been treated and burned by radiation therapy to a breast for cancer. This would cup the breast and draw heat in a way that a commonly embodied heatsink could not do FIG. (3.1). The use of a plastic or rubber type material made as a ring FIG. (5.1) & FIG. (5.2) & FIG. (5.3) that will surround the exterior of this invention FIG. (4.1) & FIG. (4.2) will insulate the heat produced by holding the invention from affecting the efficiency of the unit's heat removal. For areas of a more cylindrical shape like a tube a plastic or rubber type material in a pliable sheet FIG. (6.1) can hold several of these new inventions or existing heatsinks side by side FIG. (6.2) allowing for the assembly to make contact in multiple places FIG. (7.1) while wrapping in a circular shape FIG. 7.3).By ether using the ring or pliable sheet as described above a commonly embodied heatsink might be retrofitted with one of these insolating handles, allowing for new uses without the need to mount it to a heat source making it more universal without the mounting limitations of commonly embodied heatsinks we see today.
