Protective blanket for hoofed and domestic animals, in particular horses and dogs, to protect against the influences of cold in cold weather or due to evaporation of the skin moisture after physical exertion, and for thermal treatment of certain ailments, e.g. influenza or kidney trouble. Woolen or linen blankets have the disadvantage of not giving off the evaporation moisture and do not provide warmth when wet. The protective blanket according to this invention provides better heat protection and has a therapeutic effect due to the fact that it consists of two mutually movable layers of a knit fabric (6) made of nonhygroscopic synthetic fibers fit for generating static electricity and with a mesh of 50-125/cm2. For choice, the blanket contains a synthetic foam lining permeable to air between the two layers of fabric (6). The drawing shows the outside of a horse blanket with a neck rim (31) at the head end and a rear rim (32) with a loop (40) to accommodate the tail. The cutout (41) at the neck rim produces two blanket ends to fit around the breast (FIG. 5 ). |
