Abstract
Far infrared ray (FIR) suits for animals, such horse or dog. The suits incudes textiles that incorporate natural and thermo active materials, which is used to cover an animal (e.g. whole body or half the body of an animal). In use, the FIR suit is applied to an animal to enhance thermal energy and general wellbeing by way of increased local blood flow to the areas where the suit is applied to the animal. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is well known that Athletes and Doctors have been using many different types technologies to try to increase circulation and blood oxygen availability in their or their patient's bodies. Recently we are seeing clothing being manufactured to help assist/enhance blood flow, more commonly its compression garments, but lately we have also seen magnets, natural minerals and/or ceramic materials used to assist them with their performance and or recovery. It has been widely believed that these types of clothing can all reduce the risk of injury and/or increase the athlete's performance. In addition, infrared clothing has been believed to enhance or expedite recovery in humans many years. However we have not yet seen these types of full or half body FIR garments used thus far in any Veterinary Surgeries and/or clinics nor have we seen them use to treat sick or lame animals. It is also indeed fact, that we have not seen full or half body FIR suits used to help the performance and recovery of high performance sporting animals, namely horse and dogs (but not limited too) anywhere in the world. 1 b

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In general, this invention relates to far infrared ray (FIR) Suits for animals. The suits will be used commonly during: dr post surgery, when active/duririg competition, when recovering ahd/or when travelling. The clothing is configured to increase circulation and blood oxygen levels in the body of the animat.
Applicant recognized that including a fabric that is capable of absorbing light emitted by the wearer of the garment and re-emitting the absorbed light may achieve additional benefits. In particular, Applicant recognized that by incorporating such material into a animal garments/suits, oxygen levels in the blood may be increased.
In some embodiments, a fiber or yarn: which may or may not be known as or similar to Celliant® fiber, which can be obtained from ffoiureifox, LLC, of Newport Beach, California, is incorporated into the animal garments/suits. Celliant:* fiber contains a polyester fiber that is infused with natural minerals. In particular, Celliant® fiber is manufactured from active materials in the form of a powder that contains one or more of aiuminum. oxide (AUOs), quartz (SiOfl, and titahi urn dioxide (T1O2) in rutile form. The powder has a dry weight ratio of active material of titanium dioxide, quartz, and aluminum oxide of 10:10:2.
Cettiant® fiber further includes a resin, such as a polymer. Examples of polymers include polyesters, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The powder form of the active materials can: be dispersed into the resin, and may constitute about 0.5 percent to about 20 percent of the resin/powder mixture, or between 1 percent to 10 percent of the mixture. In some embodiments, the powder constitutes from about 1 to 2 percent of the total weight of the mixture. In some embodiments, one half ton of fiber can be produced: using: 100 pounds of the powder combined with about 1000 pounds of P ET,
In some embodiments, the powder form of the active materials is introduced into the resin by compounding. In some embodiments in which the active materials: are introduced by compounding, 100 pounds of the powder may be combined with about 250 to 300 pounds of PET.
The composition that includes the powder active material and the resin can then be extruder' into fibers or be blended with acrylic, acetate, lycra, spandex, polyester, nylon, rayon and cotton. Additional information about Celliant*' fiber is provided in U.S. Patent No.
7,074,499: which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Celliant* fiber is a specially formulated fiber or yarn that is infused with natural minerals that act to increase oxygen levels in the body. Increased blood oxygen levels in the body have been demonstrated to help:
1. Increase strength and build endurance;
2. Promote healing:
3. Reduce recovery time/accelerate recovery;
4. Regulate body temperature.
2019204737 02 Jul 2019
5. Increase thermal energy.
By incorporating a product such as or similar to Celliant® technology or yarn into fabric used to make a full or half body animal garments, the animal may benefit both from the above advantages associated with Celliant® fiber, such as but not limited to minimizing swelling, tissue damage and improving overall circulation. Thus, incorporating a product such as or similar to Celliant® fiber into full or half body animal garments will create previously unseen performance and recovery benefits professional sporting horses and dogs.
Turning now to the technical details of products such as (e.g.)Celliant® fibre, it is understood that Celliant® fibre works with ambient light and energy emitted from one's body to increase blood oxygen levels in the body. There are specific cells in the body that are responsible for the transportation of oxygen and it is believed that Celliant® fiber stimulates those cells.
As a general background, all living beings emit heat via an electromagnetic field as a result of the body's metabolic processes. This light is not visible to the naked eye, but may, for example, be visible with an infrared (IR) camera. It is also known that light may have a beneficial effect on a animals body. Thermo active fabrics such as Celliant® fiber technology works with light and the body in a unique way. Light that is emitted by the body passes through the thermo active material and is absorbed and re-emitted back to the body in a manner that allows the body to work more efficiently.
In some respects, these type of thermo active technologies such as (e.g.) Celliant® fiber is analogous to many light therapy devices that are approved by the FDA to treat aches and pains and improve blood flow. However, these devices must be powered by a battery or wall socket. In contrast, with Celliant® fiber, this process is powered by the body. The light energy that is emitted from the body passes through material made with Celliant® fiber, which absorbs and re-emits the light energy allowing the resulting energy to be reabsorbed by the body.
The fiber infused yarn may be knit or woven into the fabrics to enhance blood oxygen levels in the animals body. The fabric may have (but not limited too) a four-way stretch, and in one embodiment, the clothing is made with a warp/circular/tubular knit, and may for example, be made with a 50 denier circular knit with a four- way stretch.
The FIR full or half body suit 1 can be worn prior to exercise in increase energy and warm the animals muscles or after exercising to facilitate in the animals recovery. The garments 1 can be worn for a period of at least 30 minutes (e.g., at least 90 minutes, at least 5 hours, about 30 minutes to about 5 hours, about 6 hours to about 12 hours). In some cases, the garment is worn by a animal whilst travelling internationally for periods of up to and above 40 hours. Wearing the full or half body suit 1 for the extended periods of time noted above allows recovery to be sped up, reduce muscle fatigue over the entire body can reduced the animals pain. The full or half body garment, by increasing the blood oxygen levels in the animals skin, tissue, can also help promote a more restful and relaxing sleep for the animal.
Each of the garments discussed above may also include strategically placed Velcro tab and/or plush elastic bands in hem regions to give maximum comfort to the animal.
Due to the treatment of the fabric with anti-microbial/soil release/insect repellent/wicking agents in the finishing process, the full or half body suit also offers other advantages including the prevention of odor from bacteria that may otherwise thrive in a moist and warm environment, increasing the level of comfort for the animal by also reducing sometimes harmful and deadly insects, better breathability etc.
