Abstract
A chew toy product is made of multiple layers of silicone. Liquid silicone layers are vulcanized to a solid silicone layer to form a unitary solid silicone chew toy. Each of the layers can include a silicone colorant, so the chew toy can have multiple colors.
Claims23
A silicone chew toy comprising:
- a base layer, made from a solid silicone material of a first color, comprising a first side and a second side, a thickness of at least 16 millimeters between the first and second sides, a minimum width of at least 38 millimeters, and a minimum length is at least the same as the minimum width;
- and
- a first layer, made from a liquid silicone material of a second color, formed and vulcanized on the first side of the base layer, the first layer having a thickness of at least 0.5 millimeters,
- wherein the first color is different from the second color, and
- the silicone chew toy comprising the base and first layers can withstand at least 100 pounds of bite pressure for at least 10 seconds without breakage.
