Abstract
A static electricity discharging pet bed has a foam-like cushion pad, an inner cover fabricated of waterproof, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-urine material. An outer cover encompasses the inner cover. The outer cover is fabricated of an electrical conductive material designed to conduct static electricity from the pet bed through an electrical conductive conductor, to an electrical conductive ground wire, and then to a ground only plug connected to a grounded electrical outlet. The result is that when a dog or like furry pet is positioned on the pet bed, static electricity affecting the animal is drained to electrical ground. In this same manner, an “Earthing” effect provides a number of healthful benefits to the pet as well.
Claims9
A pet bed for discharging static electricity, said pet bed comprising:
- a foam-like cushion pad;
- an inner cover fabricated of waterproof, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal material, said cover being configured to encompass the foam cushion pad;
- an outer cover configured to encompass the inner cover, said outer cover fabricated of an electrical conductive material and having an electrical conductive connector attached to its outer surface;
- removable attachment means on the inner cover for securing the cushion pad within the inner cover, wherein when the attachment means is detached, the cushion pad can be removed from the inner cover;
- and
- an electrical conductive ground wire having two ends, a resistor at one end configured to be removeably attached to the electrical conductive connector nd a ground plug connected to the second end, whereby static electricity is collected by the outer cover and discharged to the ground wire and then to the ground plug for discharging static electricity from the pet bed and the ambient atmosphere around the pet bed.
