Abstract:
A cooling device, comprising:a substantially flat flow passage formed at a side of the cooling device which contacts a human body; a blowing means for causing ambient air to flow through the flow passage to thereby increase a temperature gradient between the human body and the flow passage so as to cool the human body, with moisture due to perspiration from the human body being discharged into the flow passage; a cooling device aimed spacer forming the flow passage, said spacer comprising: a plurality of projecting portions arranged in a state where said projecting portions are upstanding in a thickness direction of the flow passage, said plurality of projecting portions being integrally formed of plastics to be physically continuous, each of said plurality of projecting portions having a width along a direction perpendicular to an air-flowing direction, the width being between 0.1 mm and 2 cm when viewed from the thickness direction of the flow passage, said plurality of projecting portions having an opening ratio within a plane perpendicular to the air-flowing direction of at least 30%, and an opening ratio at the side of the cooling device aimed spacer which contacts with the human body of at least 20%; and a meshed member provided on said plurality of projecting portions.
