Animal Pad Bed Cover Extension

Abstract

A bedcovering with an expandable center extension of fabric for accommodating an animal pet while sleeping. The bedcovering accommodates a pet, such as a dog, in sleeping on the bed without depriving human occupants of bed coverings. The bedcovering is comprised of two side panels affixed longitudinally to a central panel extension. Further, on each side panel, proximal to the center panel extension is a longitudinal attachment means. The two attachment means mate together to allow the center extension to be collapsed and hidden beneath the two side panels, giving the appearance of a standard bed covering. Non-pet owners who desire extended bed coverings may also use the present invention.

1 ) An expandable bed covering comprising:
 two side panels of bed covering permanently joined by a central extension panel to form a single expandable bed covering, wherein each of said side panels and said central extension panel has a top surface and a bottom surface;   said side panels each having attachment means disposed along said top surfaces running proximally to said central extension panel;   said attachment means capable of affixing proximal edges of said top surfaces of said side panels to one another to fold and obscure said central extension panel beneath said side panels during storage.   
     
     
         2 ) The bed covering defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a central extension panel made of a material or design specifically fabricated for pets. 
     
     
         3 ) The bed covering defined in  claim 1 , wherein said side panel's combined width is sized for a given bed width when said central extension panel is stowed. 
     
     
         4 ) The bed covering defined in  claim 1 , wherein said attachment means comprises of hook and loop fastening.

         8 ) An expandable bed covering comprising:
 two side panels of bed covering permanently joined by a central extension panel to form a single expandable covering wherein each of said side panels and said central extension panel has a top surface and a bottom surface;   said side panels having the same material construction;   said side panels each having attachment means disposed along said top surfaces running proximally to said central extension panel;   said attachment means capable of affixing proximal edges of said top surfaces of said side panels to one another to fold and obscure said central extension panel beneath said side panels during storage.
