[0002] Universal bowl for animals

[0003] The utility model relates to portable devices for feeding or watering animals and can be used in everyday life when keeping a pet, for example, a cat or a dog.

[0004] The closest analogue of the claimed technical solution is a pet bowl described in patent RU 2465769, author Andrey Leonidovich Kuznetsov (RU), publication date November 10, 2012, IPC A01K 5 / 00 (2006.01). The bowl comprises an outer surface, a bowl surface, and a lower surface. The space between the surfaces is filled with a material. The material is artificial stone made of polymerized resin with a filler. When using a bowl with a replaceable insert, food or water for the pet is placed inside the insert.

[0005] The main drawback of this alternative is that the owner must place the animal's food or water inside the bowl or insert themselves. This can be labor-intensive and messy when using certain types of packaging for fatty, wet, and / or liquid foods (raw meat / fish, stews, jelly, soup, milk, etc.). Also, when transferring food from the packaging to the bowl or insert, a significant portion of the food is constantly lost, remaining inside some types of packaging (on the inner surfaces or in the folds of the packaging).

[0006] Thus, the objectives of this utility model are to improve the conditions for keeping a pet at home and to reduce the amount of work required for the owner to keep the animal.

[0007] The technical result achieved through the use of the utility model consists of facilitating the process of placing fatty, wet and / or liquid food into a bowl or replaceable insert for the owner, as well as minimizing the loss of food during preparation for feeding or watering the animal.

[0008] To solve the stated problems and achieve the technical result in a known pet bowl, comprising an outer surface, a bowl surface and a lower surface, the bowl bowl is made in the form of a rectangular tray of laminated packaging of a certain standard for canned fatty, wet and / or liquid animal food.

[0009] By designing the bowl as a rectangular tray for a standard-size, canned, laminated packaging for fatty, wet, and / or liquid pet food, there's no need to add or pour fatty, wet, and / or liquid food into the bowl or insert. Instead, the laminated packaging, pre-filled with fatty, wet, and / or liquid pet food, is inserted into the empty bowl. The owner then simply opens the lid of the laminated packaging to allow the pet to access the food, and after the pet has consumed all the food, removes the empty laminated packaging from the bowl. This makes it easier for the owner to add fatty, wet, and / or liquid food into the bowl or insert, and minimizes food loss during feeding or watering.

[0010] The implementation of the utility model is shown in the following drawings:

[0011] Fig. 1 - section of a universal bowl for animals;

[0012] Fig. 2 - view of a universal bowl for animals from above.

[0013] This utility model considers a universal pet bowl, as shown in all figures. This universal pet bowl includes the following elements and is illustrated by a specific example, discussed below:

[0014] A universal bowl for animals (Fig. 1 and 2) comprises an outer surface 1, a bowl surface 2 and a lower surface 3. The volume between surfaces 1, 2 and 3 is filled with artificial stone 4, which is, as an option, a polymerized synthetic resin, in which there is a large number of filler particles - stone chips or stone flour.

[0015] To enhance the bowl's aesthetic properties, pigments are usually added to the bowl material during its manufacture. Pigments are added during mixing or when pouring the artificial stone into a mold. The uneven coloring of the bowl's pigmented material makes it resemble a bowl made of natural stone.

[0016] When using a bowl with a replaceable insert, the animal's food or water is placed inside the insert. The bowl's bowl (5) is designed as a rectangular tray, and the replaceable insert is a standardized laminated packaging (6) with a hermetically sealed lid (7).

[0017] The laminated packaging 6 follows the rectangular shape and dimensions of the bowl 5. Before feeding or watering the animal, the laminated packaging 6 is inserted into the bowl 5 with slight force and is securely fixed there. The laminated packaging 6 is protected from mechanical damage (creases and bends) by stiffening ribs 8 formed in its body. After the laminated packaging 6 is inserted into the bowl 5, the sealed lid 7 of the laminated packaging 6 remains freely accessible above the surface of the bowl; it is secured to the upper rigid rim 9 of the laminated packaging 6 and is in the closed position (Figs. 1 and 2).

[0018] The device works as follows.

[0019] By shaping the bowl 5 as a rectangular tray within a standard-compliant laminated packaging 6 for fatty, wet, and / or liquid pet food, there is no need to place or pour fatty, wet, and / or liquid food into the bowl or removable insert. Instead, the empty bowl 5 simply requires inserting the laminated packaging 6, which contains the factory-filled fatty, wet, and / or liquid pet food. This significantly simplifies the process of placing fatty, wet, and / or liquid food into the bowl for the pet owner, and minimizes food loss during feeding or watering.

[0020] Immediately before feeding or watering the animal, the laminated packaging 6, containing pre-filled / pre-filled fatty, wet, and / or liquid pet food, is inserted into the bowl 5 with slight force and securely secured. The laminated packaging 6 is protected from mechanical damage (creases and kinks) by the reinforcing ribs 8 embedded in its body.

[0021] After inserting the laminate packaging 6 into the bowl of the bowl 5, the sealed lid 7 of the laminate packaging 6 remains freely accessible above the surface of the bowl, which is secured to the upper rigid rim 9 of the laminate packaging 6 and is in the closed position (Figs. 1 and 2).

[0022] After this, the owner only needs to open the lid of the laminated packaging (6) for the animal to access the food. While eating / drinking food, the animal applies lateral force to the bowl with its muzzle or forepaws. However, the bowl only moves across the floor when the lateral force exceeds the static friction force.

[0023] When the animal mechanically interacts with the bowl and food, using the laminated packaging 6 for feeding or watering the animal protects the bowl 5 from fatty, wet, and / or liquid food (raw meat / fish, stew, jelly, soup, milk, etc.). This prevents the bowl 5 from becoming heavily soiled and from forming a hard-to-remove crust, thereby freeing the pet owner from the additional hassle of frequent and time-consuming cleaning and washing of their pet's bowl.

[0024] After finishing feeding or drinking, the lamister package 6 is removed from the bowl 5 and then removed (discarded and disposed of). The bowl 5 then remains clean for the next feeding or watering session. The ability to quickly replace fresh food in the same bowl using lamister packages 6, without the time-consuming cleaning and washing of the bowl or the need to place the food in the bowl, prevents stress for both the animal and its owner.

[0025] This portable, universal bowl can be made in various sizes, allowing it to be successfully used for a variety of small, medium, and large animals, including those kept at home by cats or dogs.
