Abstract
A leg wrap for wrapping a leg of an animal includes an inner wrapping sheet of flexible material, an outer wrapping sheet of flexible material, and soft, resilient filler material disposed between the inner wrapping sheet and the outer wrapping sheet. Stitching extends through the inner and outer wrapping sheets and the filler material securing the inner and outer wrapping sheets and the filler material together. The stitching forms a plurality of rectangular pillows having primary axes disposed perpendicular to the top edges and the bottom edges of the inner and outer wrapping sheets. Securement strips are releasably attached together to secure the leg wrap to the animal leg. The securement strips extend in the same direction as the lines of stitching and are placed to provide uniform tension along the leg whenever the leg wrap is used.
Claims8
A leg wrap for wrapping the leg of an animal, said leg wrap comprising, in combination:
- an inner wrapping sheet of flexible material of generally rectangular configuration having an inner wrapping sheet top edge, an inner wrapping sheet bottom edge, and spaced first and second inner wrapping sheet side edges extending between the inner wrapping sheet top edge and the inner wrapping sheet bottom edge;
- an outer wrapping sheet of flexible material of generally rectangular configuration having an outer wrapping sheet top edge, an outer wrapping sheet bottom edge, and spaced first and second outer wrapping sheet side edges extending between the outer wrapping sheet top edge and the outer wrapping sheet bottom edge, said inner and outer wrapping sheets being in registry over substantial portions thereof with the respective top and bottom edges thereof in substantial registry;
- soft, resilient filler material disposed between said inner wrapping sheet and said outer wrapping sheet;
- stitching extending through said inner and outer wrapping sheets and said filler material securing said inner and outer wrapping sheets and said filler material together, said stitching including spaced, substantially parallel lines of stitching located between the top edges and the bottom edges of the inner and outer wrapping sheets and extending substantially perpendicular thereto to define a plurality of substantially rectangular pillows separated by said lines of stitching, said substantially rectangular pillows being elongated and having primary axes, and said primary axes disposed perpendicular to the top edges and the bottom edges of the inner and outer wrapping sheets;
- and
- securement means for securing the leg wrap about the leg of an animal with said plurality of pillows surrounding the leg and the primary axes of the plurality of pillows oriented with the primary axis of the leg and at least some of the plurality of pillows in overlapping condition, said securement means comprising at least two securement strips of releasably securable fastener material affixed to at least one of said wrapping sheets, said securement strips being spaced from one another, each of said securement strips having a strip primary axis and extending between the top edge and the bottom edge of a wrapping sheet with the securement strip primary axis substantially perpendicular to the top edge and bottom edge and substantially parallel to said lines of stitching.
