Benefits of technology
This patent describes a liquid retaining bowl that can be folded flat for easy storage and transportation. It is also affordable to manufacture and dispose of after use. Additionally, this bowl is environmentally friendly.
Problems solved by technology
However, there is a deficiency in the prior technology in that the solutions proposed require relatively expensive materials and methods of fabrication causing the resulting bowls to be expensive enough that they cannot be used as a single use, disposable item.
Additionally, although the bowls do fold into a relatively flat format for storage and transport, they are not small enough to be easily carried in one's pocket or purse.
Finally, the prior technology does not lend itself to be easily recycled and therefore are not ecologically friendly.
