Description

[0001]l PET BED COVER Description Object of the invention The invention, as the title of this specification establishes, is a pet bed cover, it is an innovation that provides advantages unknown until now within the current techniques. The cover allows to protect the bed where the pets rest, in such a way that we can wash them more easily than if we have to wash the entire bed, which is usually very bulky. Technical sector Therefore, this invention is limited to the sector of manufacturing of pet accessories, specifically in the manufacture of accessories for pet beds.State of the art State of the art The state of the art in the field of pet accessories reflects a growing trend in pet ownership. With the increasing number of people choosing to have pets, there is a need to provide them with comfort, especially with regard to their resting areas. It is common for owners to purchase specific beds for their pets, designed to offer a soft and cozy place to sleep. These pet beds are usually voluminous and fluffy, providing animals with comfort similar to that of humans.However, this design poses practical drawbacks: they become easily soiled due to constant use and natural pet behaviors, such as shedding, dirty paws, or even occasional accidents. Cleaning these beds becomes a chore. Their volume often exceeds the capacity of standard household washing machines. Their fluffy texture prolongs drying time, which can be a problem, especially in colder or humid climates. Given this situation, the innovation consists of developing a pet bed cover that is easy to remove, wash, and dry, ideally adapted to household washing machines and quick-drying. Furthermore, the integration of a non-stick fabric would facilitate cleaning and daily maintenance, as it would repel pet hair and prevent its accumulation on the fabric.The implementation of such a cover would significantly transform the current pet bedding market by offering a practical solution to cleaning and maintenance problems. This development would be a considerable improvement over existing options, providing convenience and efficiency to pet owners and hygienic comfort for the pets themselves. The existence of any product with the same technical characteristics as the invention presented here is unknown. Description of the invention The object of the present invention is the creation of a pet bed cover that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently collected in the final claims that accompany this description.The cover allows the bed used by pets to be fully or partially covered, thereby protecting the bed from stains or even wear and tear. To this end, the cover comprises a cover-like body that fully or partially covers the pet bed. The body will be flexible to adapt to different bed designs and will generally have an elastic band around its perimeter to properly secure it to the bed and prevent the cover from being removed when the pet moves. Explanation of the figures To complete the description being provided and in order to aid in a better understanding of the features of the invention, this specification is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by some figures in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented. Figure 1 shows a view of an exemplary embodiment of the cover.Figure 2 shows a side view of an exemplary embodiment of the cover. Preferred Embodiment of the Invention The present invention describes a pet bed cover that responds to the growing demand for accessories for pets, providing an innovative solution to improve the hygiene and ease of maintenance of pet resting areas. The pet bed cover comprises a body (1) designed as a cover which is adapted to fully or partially cover the pet bed (2). This cover is designed to fit the variety of beds existing on the market, offering protection and facilitating cleaning. Preferably, the body (1) of the cover is made of a textile material that is waterproof and breathable.This combination of properties ensures that, while liquids do not penetrate the bed, air can circulate properly, preventing the build-up of moisture and odors, and contributing to the pet's comfort. It is also preferable for the material to be "anti-hair", preventing hair from sticking to the cover. To do this, its ability to store electrostatic charge will be reduced by using an anti-static fabric. In the embodiment in which the body (1) partially covers the bed (2), the cover incorporates an adjustment elastic around its perimeter. This elastic ensures that the cover remains fixed in place, even when the pets move or change position, providing a secure fit and maintaining the aesthetics and shape of the bed. In the embodiment in which the body (1) completely covers the bed (2), the body (1) will have an opening (1.1) with a means of closing.In this way, the body (1) can be more easily adapted to the different shapes and dimensions of the beds, since it only has to completely wrap the bed (2) and can be slightly loose. The closing means can be a zipper, snaps or a hook and loop joint among others. This design offers a significant contribution to the field of pet accessories, since it considerably improves the practicality of maintaining pet beds, allowing simple and efficient cleaning, in addition to reducing the frequency of necessary deep washes, and extending the life of the original beds. With the introduction of this pet bed cover on the market, it is intended to satisfy the needs of both pets and their owners, making everyday life more pleasant and less laborious.Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to explain it further so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essence, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
