Description
UK PATENT SPECIFICATION 1
Title: TOY PILLOW ANTIBACTERIAL
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Babies and young children use such items as dummy, rags, blankets and cuddly toys to provide them with comfort and protection when they are away from home, travelling or sleeping. The background for this invention is that from a young age some babies need to be comforted by their mother generally through breastfeed or their presence. As they grow older and sleep in their own cot and start going to nurseiy they need an external element that identifies with the comfort that they receive from their parents/carers.
The aim of this Toy Pillow Antibacterial is to provide them with a cuddly toy that they carry everywhere they go and at naptime or when they need to put their head to rest then they use it as a pillow which has been made of Velour Bamboo fabric and has the extraordinary qualities of being antibacterial, antifungal and anti-static acting as a gentle and natural form of health protection when babies and young children use it to sleep or for a cuddle away from home in an environment such as the nursery or childminder where they interact with other children.
One side has got the abstract and contemporary look and shape of an Animal Soft toy, e.g.: animal character like a cat, dog, monkey, etc. to play with.
This animal soft toy will take any baby or young child into the world of imagination in which they will travel with their petlfriend.
This character has the qualities of stimulating the baby's attention and learning development by the colourful mixture of fabric applique shapes, textures, patterns and threads used on its jumper, which will make it an ideal toy for babies, as it is soft and harmless. The material used on the animal's body is 5mm or less soft boa fabric. This animal soft toy doesn't contain dangerous hazards, which could be dangerous or threaten the safety of a baby or toddler as it is purely made of fabrics. The stuffing is 2' grade polyester, which is recycled and more environmentally friendly. This is the most used in the manufacturing of any soft or plush toy, cushions or pillows.
The baby will develop and learn to identify the character as an animal and a toy with who to play with., as well as feeling safe.
Toddlers will grow their confidence on this animal soft toy identifying it as their close friend or pet whom they will take with themselves when they need to go to sleep or go away on their own to the nursery, childminder, carer or relative's house, etc to be looked after.
To make the sleeping time very special the soft pillow has an opening at the bottom side that will be sealed with a zip for security and safety of the baby and young child, ,....
from which aromatherapy sachets, ayurvedic herbal sachets can be introduced or removed easily and to be used for calming and relaxing when used at naptime or resting time. In addition the inside of the invention can contain an small device or mechanism that will play soft music or lullabies when the baby or young child needs to take the Toy Pillow Antibacterial for naptime or resting and will help them to fall sleep peacefully.
The other side is the shape of a flat pillow where the baby or young child can rest his/her head and use it for sleeping. The side of the pillow where the baby or young child will rest his/her head is made of organic bamboo velour fabric. Bamboo fabric has many and positive characteristics which make this product extraordinarily different and special: 1. Bamboo is a sustainable, renewable resource and the fabric from bamboo is amazingly soft and silky.
2. Bamboo is antibacterial, forever. By killing almost all bacteria, bamboo stays fresher and odour-free for longer, is more hygienic and healthier.
3. Bamboo fabric stays around 2 degrees cooler in hot weather and also keeps you significantly warmer in the cold. Which is ideal when using this pillow in hot or cold weather when is used by the baby or young child during travelling.
4. Bamboo absorbs and evaporates sweat in a split second. It doesn't stick to the skin and it's extraordinary natural breath ability keeps you comfortable and dry for longer.
5. For sensitive or allergy prone skin, bamboo is perfect. In production, there is a lack of harsh chemical treatments, which can irritate skin. Bamboo fibre is smooth and round, so is a non-irritant. It contains a naturally occurring antibacterial (bamboo kun') that resists the spread of bacteria on the skin without any adverse effects, such as abrasion or irritation.
6. Bamboo fabric is 3-4 times more absorbent than cotton. It wicks' away moisture from the body, which then evaporates, keeping you naturally drier and more comfortable.
7. Bamboo is antibacterial, antifungal and anti-static. In the wild, bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilizers. It is seldom eaten by pests or infected by pathogens. Why? Scientists found that bamboo owns a unique anti-bacteria and bacteriostasis bio-agent named "Bamboo Kun". This substance bonds tightly with bamboo cellulose molecules during the normal process of bamboo fibre growth. This natural feature is retained in fabric form.
8. Bamboo clothing has particular natural anti-bacterial functions, bactenostasis and deodorization value. Its test results show over 70% death rate after bacteria was incubated on bamboo fibre fabric. In addition, tests by the Japanese Textile Inspection Association found that, even after fifty washings, bamboo fabric still possessed these flmctions.
