Description

The utility model relates to a hygiene pad for living beings in transport containers or baskets, with a top and a bottom and an inner area consisting of a sewn cushion made of activated carbon fiber, which can be opened and closed at one or more edges by means of a Velcro fastener and is filled with natural zeolite is arranged between the top and the bottom (moisture and dirt protection), the top and the bottom each having one or more edges and being connected to one another at one or more of the respective edges.

Hygiene documents for living beings serve to be placed under a living being, e.g. a pet or farm animal, during transport or in a stable, in the house or enclosure of the living being and to transport and warm the living being dry, hygienically clean and odor-free, cool or otherwise positively support. This includes the drainage, absorption and filtering of moisture and other liquids such as urine and its metabolic products, bacteria and odors, using the activated carbon fiber cushion and the zeolite. In addition, there is also a certain amount of ventilation and padding and a secure hold during transport.

The activated carbon fiber cushion with its natural zeolite core, together with their special and unique properties and modes of action (catalytic and hygroscopic), form the binding and filter unit for hygienic and health-promoting effectiveness.

There are blankets known to be placed under a living being, which are made, for example, of cotton or another natural fiber and can partially absorb moisture. However, these blankets cannot bind the odor or the metabolic products that arise from urine or other liquids. Furthermore, the surface of such a blanket is very unpleasant for a pet, for example, if the blanket is damp and soiled with urine, hair and sand and the transport box or basket smells unpleasant.

Furthermore, materials are known that can absorb liquids and store them in themselves. Such materials are used, for example, as oil binders or cat litter. The disadvantage here is that either no natural materials are used or the odor binding does not take place reliably, they clump together, disintegrate and remain moist.

There are also known transport containers for living beings in the form of animal cages, which mostly comprise a waterproof lower shell made of a plastic and a mostly cage-like upper shell with holes. Moisture or even liquid (urine and bacteria) can collect and accumulate inside such transport containers, which is unhygienic and disadvantageous for living beings, as these can spread in the fur or wounds and cause infections.

By using activated carbon fiber and zeolite as filling material (inner core cushion), a double absorption capacity and binding for liquids, bacteria and odors is realized.

Zeolites are mostly in the form of granules and have a very high internal surface area in relation to their volume. Natural zeolite or natural clinoptiolite zeolite is a natural rock of volcanic origin. It occurs in numerous species in natural surroundings. Zeolite can absorb up to 300 times its volume in water (liquid) (hygroscopic) and also release it again, whereby it does not lose its solid structure and does not clump or dissolve. On the other hand, it adsorbs various pollutants and toxins such as urine components (bioamines), as well as bacteria, fungal spores and viruses (catalytic). Due to their basic properties, zeolites also act against the nesting of mites, fleas and ticks in the mat.

Activated carbon fiber has the same positive properties and effects as natural zeolite. This results in a 2-fold active absorption & binding.

Furthermore, the liquid stored in the zeolite, which can be blood, urine or sweat of the living being, can adsorb odors and various pollutants through its natural ability to selectively exchange ions and bind it inside and also release it again. Existing water can evaporate, whereby the pollutants and odors remain within the zeolite. Zeolite and activated carbon fiber have a natural catalytic and hygroscopic function. They release the absorbed moisture again.

By designing the top of the hygiene pad from a partially permeable material, the drainage for absorbing liquid into the interior of the hygiene pad is easily possible. Nevertheless, a macroscopically closed surface is created, which is well suited as a lying surface, e.g. for a transported pet. The surface is immediately dry again. Moisture from the fur (e.g. from rain) and possibly urine is immediately drained away from the animal.

On the one hand, a closed underside of the hygiene pad prevents moisture from rising from below. This prevents the zeolites from becoming saturated with foreign substances. On the other hand, excess liquid, which has been given off by the living being and which briefly exceeds the absorption capacity of the activated carbon fiber cushion & zeolite, cannot escape through the underside of the hygiene pad.

A flexible configuration of the upper side and / or the lower side of the hygiene pad is advantageous. This means that the underside can be cuddly for a surface and the upper side can be cuddly for the living being. In addition, unevenness can be leveled out in this way.

With an underside made of a plastic or an artificial leather, for example vinyl leather, an inexpensive and particularly easy-care underside can be created, which is insensitive to dirt and damage.

A honeycomb-like, funnel-shaped structure of the upper side is advantageous. This structure strikes a good balance between tear resistance, comfort, and the transmission of liquids. The structure of the top consists of a soft, flexible, funnel-shaped honeycomb structure.

It is particularly advantageous that the external moisture and dirt protection of the hygiene pad can be opened and closed by means of a Velcro fastener. This means that the inner core cushion can be removed, cleaned and, if necessary, replaced. The inner core cushion also has a Velcro fastener connection, which means that the natural zeolite can also be removed, cleaned and, if necessary, replaced.

The zeolite granulate can then be reactivated or regenerated using salt water. The activated carbon fiber can also be rinsed and washed by hand or in the washing machine.

The top and bottom (moisture and dirt protection) can either be washed and rinsed with soap and warm water or in the washing machine.

As in the embodiments described above, the hygiene pad can offer the same advantages as mentioned above as part of a transport container and limit or prevent an accumulation of liquid, bacteria, odors and pollutants within the transport container.

The hygiene pad ( 101 ) includes a liquid-permeable top ( 103 ) consisting of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) and a closed underside ( 105 ) made of synthetic leather. The top ( 103 ) and the bottom ( 105 ) are shaped in such a way that a common edge and are congruent on top of each other. The top ( 103 ) and the bottom ( 105 ) thus have almost identical dimensions and a very similar contour. The unit consisting of the top and bottom is called moisture and dirt protection.

The top ( 103 ) and the bottom ( 105 ) are rectangular and have rounded corners, but can also be shaped individually, e.g. half-round for cups and also foldable. The top ( 103 ) and the bottom ( 105 ) by means of one along the three edges ( 107 , 109 , 111 ) running seam ( 122 ) permanently sewn together. This means that there is an interior space within the hygiene pad ( 114 ) educated.

A common edge of the top and the bottom is by means of a Velcro fastener ( 115 ) connected to one another, the loop of the Velcro fastener being sewn on the underside and the hook tape of the Velcro fastener on the top (not shown). This means that the interior of the hygiene pad is accessible by opening the Velcro fastener.

An activated carbon fiber cushion ( 201 ) with a natural zeolite filling ( 219 ) as a common active unit (inner core cushion) ( 201 ) arranged. The sewn ( 222 ) Cushions made of activated carbon fiber can be attached using one or more Velcro fasteners ( 217 ) open and close so that the natural zeolite can be removed for cleaning and / or replacement.

The top ( 103 ) has a honeycomb-like ( 321 , 323 ), funnel-shaped structure ( 121 ) that taper towards the inside. This honeycomb-like structure with a large number of passages ensures that various liquids (sweat, urine, blood, feces), water from the fur, hair and sand from a living being (not shown) lying on the hygiene pad can enter the interior ( 114 ) can penetrate the hygiene pad and not be on the top ( 103 ) accumulates. The odor and pollutants from this liquid are then largely absorbed by the inner core cushion ( 201 ) bound and securely stored.

The bottom ( 105 ) is made of vinyl leather and is therefore soft, supple and resilient. In addition, the underside is robust and insensitive to moisture.
