Abstract

Abstract An improved warming bed for pets generates different temperatures on two opposite sides of the bed to warm different pets in different climate conditions. The warming bed includes an upper panel and a lower panel. The inner surfaces of the upper panel and the lower panel have corresponding coupling struts and stubs and at least one press strut to form a gap of a selected distance between the upper panel and the lower panel. A heating sheet is bonded to the inner surface of the lower panel (or the upper panel) and passes through the coupling struts and stubs. When the heating sheet is heated, the lower panel in contact with the heating sheet has a higher temperature than the upper panel which is remote from the heating sheet. Thus the two sides of the warming bed have different temperatures to meet different requirements.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 269 words
An improved warming bed for pets, comprising: an upper panel having a first inner surface with a plurality of evenly spaced coupling struts and at least one press strut extending therefrom, said upper panel being circumscribed by a first outer flange and an inwardly spaced inner flange; a lower panel having a second inner surface which a plurality of evenly spaced coupling stubs extending therefrom and disposed in respective correspondence with said plurality of coupling struts, said lower panel being circumscribed by a second outer flange adjacent an outer edge thereof and an inwardly spaced trough; and a heating sheet bonded to said second inner surface of said lower panel to provide a higher temperature to said lower panel than said upper panel, said heating sheet having a power cord connecting to an external power supply for heating the heating sheet and respectively radiating heat evenly through the upper panel and the lower panel, said heating sheet being formed with a plurality of open areas formed therein for respective passage of said plurality of coupling stubs therethrough; wherein said upper panel is coupled to said lower panel to form a gap of a selected distance between the upper panel and the lower panel, said upper panel being secured to said lower panel by said plurality of coupling struts being respectively telescopically received within said plurality of coupling stubs, said at least one press strut being in contact with said heating sheet, said inner flange of said upper panel being received in said trough of said lower panel and said first and second outer flanges being disposed in abutting relationship.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 269 words
An improved warming bed for pets, comprising: an upper panel having a first inner surface with a plurality of evenly spaced coupling struts and at least one press strut extending therefrom, said upper panel being circumscribed by a first outer flange and an inwardly spaced inner flange; a lower panel having a second inner surface which a plurality of evenly spaced coupling stubs extending therefrom and disposed in respective correspondence with said plurality of coupling struts, said lower panel being circumscribed by a second outer flange adjacent an outer edge thereof and an inwardly spaced trough; and a heating sheet bonded to said second inner surface of said lower panel to provide a higher temperature to said lower panel than said upper panel, said heating sheet having a power cord connecting to an external power supply for heating the heating sheet and respectively radiating heat evenly through the upper panel and the lower panel, said heating sheet being formed with a plurality of open areas formed therein for respective passage of said plurality of coupling stubs therethrough; wherein said upper panel is coupled to said lower panel to form a gap of a selected distance between the upper panel and the lower panel, said upper panel being secured to said lower panel by said plurality of coupling struts being respectively telescopically received within said plurality of coupling stubs, said at least one press strut being in contact with said heating sheet, said inner flange of said upper panel being received in said trough of said lower panel and said first and second outer flanges being disposed in abutting relationship.
