Protective blanket
The invention is in the field of child, human, or animal or unnatural protective covers for beds, furniture, car seats, floors, or any surface that needs to be protected from spills, or waste or bedwetting or accidental discharges of any type. The invention is washable, and has patterns that look nice and can be varied. In its preferred form, there are about five layers, with the top pleasing to the human eye and skin, which is quilted or otherwise attached to the second layer that is substantially absorbent such as a batting type of material that allows some liquid or other material to pass to the third set of liquid catching layers, which is typically a polymer having bonded thereto two cotton type fabric layers. All layers are bound together in some fashion.
1. A soft leak-proof protective blanket comprising:
a first layer that allows a liquid to pass through and having a first length and a first width and having a first thickness,
a second layer that is absorbent and having a second length and a second width substantially equal to the first length and first width and having a second thickness greater than the first thickness;
the first layer being bound to the second layer in a fashion consisting of stitching wherein the stitching forms a quilted pattern of the first layer to the second layer;
a third layer that stops the liquid and having a third length and a third width substantially equal to the first length and first width and having a third thickness less than the second thickness, the third layer comprising three sub layers stacked on top of each other, the middle sub layer less absorbent than the other two sub layers, wherein the other two sub layers are cotton sheetings adhered on both sides of the middle sub layer to completely cover both sides of the middle sub layer, and the middle sub layer is rubber sheeting; and
a border material sandwiching the entire perimeter of the three layers, and overlapping the top of the first layer and bottom of the third layer to create edges of the border material inside edges of the top and bottom of the first and third layer, respectively and affixing the quilted first layer and second layer with the third layer, wherein the border material traps liquid at the edges of the first, second and third layers.
2. The soft leak-proof protective blanket of claim 1 wherein the second layer is a cotton or polyester batting.
3. The soft leak-proof protective blanket of claim 1 , wherein the middle sub layer of the third layer becomes adhesive on both sides when activated by pressure.
4. The soft leak-proof protective blanket of claim 1 , wherein the middle sub layer becomes adhesive on both sides when activated by heat.
