[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 material. The material is artificial stone made of polymerized resin with a filler. The bowl and bowl are round. If a bowl with a replaceable insert is used, food or water for the pet is placed inside the insert.

[0005] The main disadvantage of the analogue is that, while the animal is consuming food or water placed in the replaceable insert, the animal may twist the replaceable insert in the round bowl with its muzzle or front paws or even push the replaceable insert out of the bowl, which can lead to stress for the animal and its owner.

[0006] Thus, the objectives of this utility model are:

[0007] - reducing the likelihood of stress in the animal and its owner;

[0008] - improving the animal's living conditions;

[0009] - reducing the amount of work required to care for the animal for its owner.

[0010] The technical result achieved through the use of the utility model consists of ensuring the possibility of reliable fixation of the replaceable insert when it is inserted into the bowl of the bowl.

[0011] To achieve the technical result required for a well-known pet bowl, comprising an outer surface, a bowl surface, and a lower surface, a laminated packaging of a specific standard with a hermetically sealed lid is used as a replaceable insert. The lid's tray replicates the round shape and diameter of the bowl.

[0012] The bowl is made of at least artificial stone - polymerized resin with filler and / or natural stone and / or thermoplastic and / or thermosetting material and / or one or more metals: stainless steel and / or cupronickel (copper-nickel alloy) and / or brass and / or tin and / or copper and / or nickel and / or aluminum.

[0013] It's worth noting that lamister, also known as steralcon (sterilisable aluminum packaging), is a durable yet flexible material. Therefore, if the tray of a lamister packaging becomes dented, the seal will not be compromised, and the tray will not damage the bowl surface with which the tray interacts when inserted or removed.

[0014] In this case, the laminated packaging is used with fatty, wet or liquid food already filled into the laminated packaging at the factory, which the animal has access to after opening the lid of the laminated packaging.

[0015] By using standardized laminated packaging for canned fatty, wet, or liquid pet food, there's no need to place the food inside a bowl or removable insert. Instead, the laminated packaging, containing pre-filled or factory-pre-filled fatty, wet, or liquid pet food, is inserted into the empty bowl.

[0016] In this case, no matter what material the bowl of the bowl is made of, at least the inner side surface of the round bowl of the bowl, which interacts with the outer side surface of the round tray of the laminated packaging, is made corrugated, either fragmentarily or over the entire diameter - rough, with regular and / or irregular rows of indentations and protrusions made by notching or stamping - for the reliable fixation of the laminated packaging when it is inserted into the bowl of the bowl.

[0017] Due to the fact that the ribbed design of the inner side surface of the round bowl of the bowl ensures the possibility of securely fixing the laminated packaging when it is inserted into the bowl of the bowl, it becomes possible to reduce the likelihood of stress in the animal and its owner, improve the conditions for keeping the animal, and reduce the amount of work involved in keeping the animal for its owner.

[0018] After inserting the laminated food container into the bowl, the owner simply opens the lid to allow the animal to access the food. Once the animal has lapped up all the food, remove the empty laminated food container from the bowl. This makes it easier for the owner to place fatty, wet, or liquid food into the bowl or insert, and minimizes food waste when preparing to feed or water the animal.

[0019] The implementation of the utility model is shown in the following drawings:

[0020] Fig. 1 - side view of a universal bowl for animals;

[0021] Fig. 2 - view of a universal bowl for animals from above.

[0022] 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:

[0023] A universal bowl for animals (Figs. 1 and 2) comprises an outer surface 1, a bowl surface 2 and a lower surface 3. The body 4 of the bowl, including its bowl 5, is made of at least artificial stone - polymerized resin with a filler and / or natural stone and / or thermoplastic and / or thermosetting material and / or one or more metals: stainless steel and / or cupronickel (an alloy of copper and nickel) and / or brass and / or tin and / or copper and / or nickel and / or aluminum. In the case of using a bowl with a replaceable insert, food or water for the animal is placed inside the insert. In this case, a laminated packaging 6 of a certain standard with a hermetically sealed lid 7, the tray 8 of which repeats the round shape and diameter of the bowl 5 of the bowl, is used as a replaceable insert.

[0024] The laminated packaging 6 is used with fatty, wet or liquid food already filled into the laminated packaging 6 at the factory, which is accessible to the animal after opening the lid 7 of the laminated packaging 6.

[0025] Before feeding or watering the animal, the laminar package 6 with its tray 8 is inserted into the bowl 5 of the bowl with a little force and secured there. Regardless of the material of the bowl 5, at least the inner side surface 9 of the round bowl 5, which interacts with the outer side surface 10 of the round tray 8 of the laminar package 6, is partially or over its entire diameter ribbed - rough, with regular rows of indentations and protrusions 11, made by notching or stamping - to securely fix the laminar package 6 when it is inserted into the bowl 5.

[0026] In this case, the laminated packaging 6 is protected from mechanical damage (creases and bends) by stiffening ribs 12 made on its tray 8. After inserting the laminated packaging 6 into the bowl 5, the sealed lid 7 of the laminated packaging 6 remains freely accessible above the surface of the bowl, which is fixed on the upper rigid rim 13 of the laminated packaging 6 and is in the closed position (Figs. 1 and 2).

[0027] The device works as follows.

[0028] Because the tray 8 of the laminated packaging 6 replicates the round shape and diameter of the bowl 5 in the bowl body 4, the pet owner no longer needs to place or pour fatty, wet, or liquid food into the bowl or removable insert. Instead, the empty bowl 5 simply requires inserting the laminated packaging 6, which contains pre-filled fatty, wet, or liquid pet food. This significantly simplifies the process of placing fatty, wet, or liquid food into the bowl for the pet owner, and minimizes food loss during feeding or watering.

[0029] Immediately before feeding or watering the animal, the laminar package 6, containing pre-filled fatty, wet, or liquid animal food, is inserted with its tray 8 into the bowl 5 in the body 4 of the bowl with a slight force and is fixed there. In this case, regardless of the material of the bowl 5, at least the inner side surface 9 of the round bowl 5 of the bowl, which interacts with the outer side surface 10 of the round tray 8 of the laminar package 6, is made fragmentarily or over the entire diameter corrugated - rough, with regular and / or irregular rows of depressions and protrusions 11, made by notching or stamping - for the secure fixation of the laminar package 6 when it is inserted into the bowl 5 of the bowl. In addition, the laminated packaging 6 is protected from mechanical damage (creases and bends) by stiffening ribs 12 made on its tray 8.

[0030] After inserting the laminated packaging 6 into the bowl 5, the sealed lid 7 of the laminated packaging 6 remains freely accessible above the surface of the bowl, which is secured to the upper rigid rim 13 of the laminated packaging 6 and is in the closed position (Figs. 1 and 2).

[0031] After which the owner only needs to open the lid 7 of the laminated packaging 6 to allow the animal to access the food.

[0032] 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, or liquid food (raw meat or fish, stews, jelly, soup, milk, etc.). This prevents the surface of 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. After the meal, the laminated packaging 6 is removed from the bowl 5 and then put away (discarded and disposed of). The bowl 5 then remains clean for the next feeding or watering of the animal.

[0033] Reliable fixation of the laminated packaging 6 in the bowl 5 of the bowl with the help of recesses and protrusions 11 made by notching or stamping, at least on the inner side surface 9 of the round bowl 5 of the bowl, ensures a reduction in the likelihood of a stressful condition occurring in the animal and its owner, improvement of the conditions for keeping the animal, and a reduction in the amount of work involved in keeping the animal for its owner.

[0034] 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.
