Abstract
A pet bed may include a structure with an outer shell that is configured to wick moisture away from a wet animal. The outer shell may have hydrophobic properties that permit a horizontal flow of moisture across a surface of the outer shell and the horizontal flow of moisture may lessen a concentration of a vertical flow of moisture. The pet bed may include a first padding layer, a second padding layer, and four or more absorbing layers positioned between the first padding layer and the second padding layer.
Claims20
A pet bed comprising:
- an outer shell configured to wick moisture away from an animal such that, after a period of time, one or more portions of the animal in contact with the outer shell have less retained moisture than a maximum amount of retained moisture possible for the portions of the animal in contact with the outer shell, the outer shell including hydrophobic properties that permit a horizontal flow of moisture across a portion of the outer shell, the horizontal flow of moisture lessening a concentration of a vertical flow of moisture;
- an absorbent pad disposed within the outer shell, the absorbent pad comprising:
- a first padding layer and a second padding layer;
- and
- four or more absorbing layers positioned between the first padding layer and the second padding layer, each layer of the four or more absorbing layers having a thickness of about 1/16 inch to about ⅛ inch and configured to absorb the moisture wicked away from the animal;
- wherein the absorbent pad has an absorption capacity of about 0.25 gallons per each layer of the four or more absorbing layers.
