DESCRIPTION

Combination furniture for pets

Object of the invention

The present invention refers to a piece of furniture for pets, which combines several modules in a single element such as a bed, a storage space, a cat litter box, a feeder, etc., which presents important technical advantages compared to other similar systems. As is known in the pet sector, there are upholstered beds, canapés without internal volume, upholstered and non-upholstered mattresses.

In many cases, pet beds are not used and end up sleeping on the owner's bed or sofa. Pet beds are usually almost at ground level, which is why they will be more uncomfortable due to their hardness and ground temperature.

On the other hand, there is no specific place in homes to store pet objects, but they end up storing their things in places intended for the owners' things (the leash on the coat rack or furniture at the entrance, their shampoo and towels next to ours, his food in the pantry). Hopefully, you have some auxiliary furniture for it.

The combined furniture for pets object of the present invention comes to propose a solution when it comes to having organized all the domestic environments associated with the pet, such as their resting place, feeder, sandbox (in the case of cats), space storage for your objects (toys, leashes, etc.), all in one piece of furniture.

Said furniture can be configurable and customizable depending on the needs of the pet, made of different materials, fabrics and elements, available in different sizes. These modules can be available to be used all the time, such as the bed being on top, or they can be made up of different drawers and compartments that can be folded away when not in use (for example, a folded bed in a folding compartment, or a second bed, or trough).

The industrial application of this invention is within furniture and accessories for pets, and more specifically, furniture combined with different modules for pets. Background of the invention

Although no invention identical to the one described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related to it. Thus, the document ES1271809 refers to a bed for pets, characterized by having inside a cover configured to resist humidity, as well as having sufficient resistance to withstand the activity and damage that the pet may cause and in which Inside there are a series of vibrators, configured to generate a vibration that, synchronized with the movement of other vibrators, produces a massage effect on the pet.

ES1281829 proposes a massage and relaxation bed for pets, characterized by the fact that it is made up of a platform, to whose upper base is attached a matrix of protruding elements in the shape of a pyramid with a rounded upper vertex, a surface on which a sheet is placed. covering or mattress, having foreseen that the platform rests on a series of legs that are linked to it through a motorized mechanism, in which each motor is integral to the platform and is linked to the leg through a cam eccentric or mechanism for generating vibrations, a mechanism that can be activated through a general switch.

MXPA/A/2001/012923 describes a lightweight portable pet bed having an open platform with a hollow ring around the periphery of the platform. This ring can trap air which provides a thermal barrier for the pet. A thermoelectric unit mounts to the bottom of the pet bed with appropriate channels for air circulation, depending on the electrical connection (heating or cooling) that is provided to a manifold or receiver that is integral with the bed. in the pet bed. The pet bed can also be provided with holes in the platform to ensure a proper mat for the pet to lie on and to cover the sump forming part of the platform. Various shapes are contemplated, including rectangular, round, oval, and the like. The thermoelectric device or other heating or cooling units can be controlled either manually or by means of a thermostat.

PE2019-0749 claims a house for pets with a system for controlling the opening and closing of the door according to different conditions or detected needs that pets could have, such as detection of the sound emitted by the pet, temperature detection , motion detection, daily timing, etc., also, monitoring and manual operation of the pet house door is allowed at all times through communication with a webcam and mobile device and temperature protection and humidity through sensors and a thermal insulating material for the elaboration of the house.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solve the problems posed as does the proposed invention.

Description of the invention

The combined furniture for pets object of the present invention is constituted from a rectangular prismatic body, which can be open at the top, where the upper panel functions as a box spring and attaches a mattress or padded element as a bed.

Said upper panel can be fixed, and can also be opened comfortably, like a sofa to access its interior volume as a compartment to store and store objects related to the pet, toys, hat, food, etc., since it has built-in some pistons or hinges to facilitate its opening.

In the case in which the upper panel is fixed, the furniture will have different drawers and compartments to access: either to store the elements mentioned above, to convert the furniture into a feeder, sandbox, to store the main bed or a second bed , or combination of several provisions.

In cases where the bed is located in the upper panel of the furniture, and this has a considerable height to be accessed by the pet, the furniture will have an access ladder attached to it.

The structure of the rectangular prismatic body or cavity to store objects is made mainly of wood, with fittings to fix some parts to others, although it can be made of metal or plastic, and be lined with fabrics or decorative panels.

The opening of the upper panel, like a sofa, can be motorized for its automatic opening.

Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning that is usually understood by a normal person skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. Similar or equivalent procedures and materials to those described herein may be used in the practice of the present invention.

Throughout the description and claims, the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages, and features of the invention will emerge in part from the description and in part from the practice of the invention.
