Claims17
A pet bed comprising peripheral support and a support material is connected to said peripheral support, said peripheral support includes a central opening, said peripheral support has a cross-sectional area along a longitudinal axis of said peripheral support, said central opening constitutes about 10-90% of a cross-sectional area of said peripheral support, said support material configured to cover at least 60% of said central opening, said peripheral support including a top surface on an outer peripheral edge of said peripheral support, said support material is formed of a flexible and stretchable material so as to create a trampoline-type effect when a pet rests on said support material, said peripheral support at least partially inflatable, said peripheral support configured to compress to a second compressed state when a downward force is applied to said peripheral support, said peripheral support configured to decompress to its original uncompressed state when said downward force is removed from said peripheral support, all of said support material is positioned above the floor surface while said peripheral support is fully inflated and in said uncompressed state, said support material is positioned above the floor surface while said peripheral support is fully inflated and in said second compressed state, said support material is connected to a top portion of said peripheral support, said support material includes a recessed portion, a central portion of said recessed portion is positioned below said top surface of said outer peripheral edge of said support material while said peripheral support is fully inflated, said recessed portion including an opening to enable liquid to pass through said support material, wherein said support material has an outer peripheral edge that is connected to a top portion of said peripheral support, said support material does not fully overlie said top surface of said outer peripheral edge of said peripheral support when said support material is connected to said peripheral support.
A pet bed comprising peripheral support, a support material, a bolster, and a cover pad;
- said peripheral support includes a central opening;
- said peripheral support has a cross-sectional area along a longitudinal axis of said peripheral support;
- said central opening constitutes about 10-90% of a cross-sectional area of said peripheral support;
- said peripheral support configured to decompress to its original uncompressed state when said downward force is removed from said peripheral support;
- said peripheral support is a single inflatable tube;
- said peripheral support includes a top surface on an outer peripheral edge of said peripheral support;
- said support material has an outer peripheral edge that is connected to a top portion of said peripheral support;
- said support material does not fully overlie said top surface of said outer peripheral edge of said peripheral support when said support material is connected to said peripheral support;
- said support material configured to cover at least 60% of said central opening;
- all of said support material positioned above a ground surface when said single inflatable tube is inflated and a bottom surface of said single inflatable tube positioned above a ground surface;
- said support material is formed of a flexible and stretchable material so as to create a trampoline-type effect when a pet rests on said support material;
- said support material includes a recessed portion;
- a central portion of said recessed portion is positioned below said top surface of said outer peripheral edge of said support material while said single inflatable tube is inflated;
- said recessed portion including an opening to enable liquid to pass through said support material;
- said bolster is positioned on or above said top surface of said peripheral support;
- said cover pad is configured to overlie said bolster and at least a portion of said support material.
