`ABSTRACT
`
`An air—conditioned pet bed wherein a portable unit is
`provided with an insulated bottom portion containing
`re-usable, pre-frozen, chemical ice-packs and atop por-
`tion which fits over the bottom portion and has a planar,
`perforated surface to provide an area for a pet to recline
`and prevent direct contact with the ice-packs, thereby
`providing cooling of the pet through the perforations in
`the top portion.

`AIR CONDITIONED PET BED
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

`prevent external heat from entering through these sur-
`faces. Re-usable, pre-frozen, artificial, ice-packs 3 are
`placed in this container and are the source of cooling of
`this device. The top portion 4 has a planar surface with
`perforations 5 therein and downwardly extending
`flanges which fit around end walls and side walls of
`bottom portion 1. The perforated planar surface pro-
`vides an area on which the pet reclines and simulta-_
`neously prevents direct contact with the aforemen-
`tioned ice-packs. The body heat from the pet passes to
`the ice packs through the perforations 5 in the upper
`portion 4.
`While in the foregoing specification a detailed de-
`scription has been set down for the purpose of explana-
`tion, many variations in the details herein given may be
`made by those skilled in the art without departing from
`the spirit and scope of the invention.

`I claim:
`
`1. An air conditioned pet bed comprising,
`a lower portion having sidewalls, end walls and a
`bottom wall,
`an upper portion having a planar perforated top sur-
`face and downwardly extending flanges sized to fit
`closely around said sidewalls and end walls of said
`lower portion, insulation material lining the inter-
`ior surfaces of said sidewalls, said endwalls and said
`bottom wall of said lower portion,
`cooling means in the form of re-usable, pre-frozen,
`chemical ice-packs adapted to fit within said insu-
`lated lower portion when covered by said upper
`portion to provide cooling through said perfora-
`tions to a pet reclining on said upper surface of said
`upper portion.
`
`Pet beds at present provide only a warm atmosphere,
`whereas, it is the object of this invention to provide a
`device useful in the hot summer months for cooling :1
`pct as it reclines on the surface of the device. It is a
`further object to provide a portable device having a
`re-usable, pre-frozen source of cooling removably con-
`tained within the device.
`These and other advantages of the invention may be
`seen in the details of operation and construction set
`down in the ensuing specification.

`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
`DRAWINGS
`
`The invention includes a lower portion 1 and an
`upper portion 4 as shown in FIG. 1. The lower portion 30
`1 is made of material such as wood or plastic, and is of
`sufficient strength to support the weight of a pct, as
`shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3. The interior side walls,
`end walls and bottom wall of lower portion 1 form a
`container and are lined with insulation material 2 to 35
