Title: Absorbent barrier sheet and method of making same
Inventor: CONWAY DAVID W
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1998-03-03
Granted: 2006-11-28
Abstract: An absorbent barrier sheet (10) includes an integral fabric web (12) and a vinyl barrier material (14) intimately connected to and across the integral fabric web (12). The web (12) includes an upper portion (16) and a lower portion (18), with the upper portion including a plurality of hydrophobic first yarns (20) and the lower portion including a plurality of fluid-retaining second yarns (22). In addition, the web (12) has a middle portion (24) which includes a set of ground yarns (26) and parts of the hydrophobic and fluid-retaining yarns (20, 22), with the ground yarns (26) integrating the hydrophobic and fluid-retaining yarns (20, 22) of the upper and lower portions (16, 18), thereby forming the integral fabric web (12). The vinyl barrier material (14) is intimately connected to and across the fluid-retaining lower portion (18) of the integral fabric web (12). In this fashion, fluid at the top of the absorbent barrier sheet (10) tends to wick downward towards the fluid-retaining portion (18), whereby the top of the sheet tends towards dry . And because the sheet (10) includes the vinyl barrier material (14), the bottom of the sheet (10) remains dry.

Patent CA-2299058-C (CA)
Inventor: BLAHNIK JOE
IPC: H05B3/34
Filed: 2000-02-17
Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: A heating pad for animals consisting of a plastic housing and an electric heating element. The base of the housing contains conical supports upon which the heating element rests. The heating element is supported in the housing to provide air gaps above and below the heating element, allowing an even temperature throughout the housing. This prevents regions of localized heat on the top of the bed, and also prevent unnecessary heating of the base. This temperature is regulated by a thermostat that shuts down the heating element if the temperature of the air within the chamber exceeds the preset limit. The conical supports also provide structural support, preventing the top of the bed from collapsing on top of the heating element when subject to the weight of an animal.
