Abstract:
An ice cooling apparatus and method therefor that comprise a number of ice pockets slideably attached to an adjustable strap for securing them in place around a wearer's body. By positioning the ice pockets on the painful areas, a wearer is assured of continuous contact and cooling effect, with the attendant benefits resulting from ice treatment. Because the apparatus is strapped around the wearer's body, it is not necessary to use one's hands to keep it in place, thus allowing the wearer to be freed from the usual constraint of having to hold the ice bag on the sore site.
Several embodiment of a telephone device having a cradle and a headset assembly are disclosed. Each headset has spring biased members to firmly hold the headset on a person's head which device frees the hands when listening thereto or talking therein. In one embodiment, the headset has first and second resilient, spring-biased retractable bars having respective outer ends fixedly connected to respective first and second ear speakers. Other embodiments use bar shaped or square shaped elements to hold the speakers and mechanical arrangements to extend or retract the bar shaped or square shaped elements. The headset embodiments are disclosed for use with conventional telephone systems that have telephone lines or cords to cradles or for use with remote or cordless systems that can be used for cellular or non-cellular telephone systems.
