A fluid dispenser for use for birds and animals and for use to purify water for human consumption is described, the dispenser having a fluid container and a valve rod that move relative to each other to open and close valves to an inlet funnel at an upper end of the dispenser and to a fluid reservoir at a lower end of the dispenser.

A system and method for a no spillage pet bowl designed to hold and store large amounts of water or food as well as prevent pets such as dogs from spilling the contents across the floor, the system having two different configurations where in the first configuration the bowls may be used similar to a conventional bowl and in the second configuration a replaceable head guide may be positioned within the bowl to guide the pet into the bowl and prevent water from being displaced from the bowl.

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus to support transport of a pet in a self-contained expandable carrier. In some examples, the carrier may be worn by a user to support the pet in a proximate location. A pet carrier which may be worn may provide comfort to pet owners while they travel.

A pump system includes a submersible pump and a filter. The pump has a housing, an intake, and a discharge. The filter includes a filter housing that releasably engages the pump and that overlies the intake of the pump. The filter housing has an intake, an outlet located between the intake of the filter housing and the intake of the pump. A filter chamber is located upstream of the outlet of the filter housing and is configured to receive filter media. The outlet of the filter housing is disposed inline with the intake of the pump. The coupling may comprise a latch that clips or snaps onto part of the pump, releasably attaching the filter housing to the pump. The latch may engage with opposite sides of the pump when releasably attaching the filter housing to the pump. The latch may include a plurality of spaced apart snaps that snap onto the pump.

A bowl assembly has a bowl and a lid. The bowl assembly is adapted to store water or food for a pet. The bowl functions as a container to hold the water or food, while the lid functions in a first configuration to seal the water or food within the bowl. The bowl assembly is convenient to travel with and adapted for use in a vehicle where in the first configuration. The bowl assembly allows for the pet to access the water or food while in a cup holder. The bowl assembly is also stabilized by the lid in a second configuration, where placed on a ground or floor surface.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to a durable, magnetic cup holder having one or more magnets disposed in a housing, such as a metal or steel housing. The magnetic cup holder can have more than one opening or lumen, so as to be configured to house both a drink and a mobile phone.

The following invention creates a new line of tableware including disposables with at least one small notched, cavity opening or clip-on reserved for food, liquid and items. This tableware will become known as Buddyware™, Notch Top™ in which allows users to hold their food or items such as decorative or favorite objects, accessories, cocktail picks, magnetic cocktail picks, so that they never have to eat alone and where they'll never lose another olive or garnishes and pets will not need to eat off the floor.

A food and water dispensing assembly for pets including a food dispensing assembly, a water dispensing assembly, a storage assembly and a water draining assembly is disclosed. The food dispensing assembly holds and stores food. It continuously dispenses food in order to avoid food supplies getting low. The water dispensing assembly holds and stores water. It continuously dispenses water in order to avoid water levels ever declining. Thereby allowing the pet to be fed and provided water even when unsupervised. The water draining assembly is essential as it prevents overflow of water from the water assembly to ever occur. Any overflow of water in the system is disposed of through the water draining assembly, which aids in avoiding water damage that may result from water overflow due to a structural failure of the water dispensing system or otherwise. The water draining assembly is crucial to prevent emergency situations from arising.

An animal feed/water container mounting system is described that can be cost effective, safe for the animals, resistant to spillage, durable, and easy to manufacture/install. The container mounting system may be used to mount an animal feed/water container to a vertical member. The container subject to mounting may include a bail and a container lip. The vertical member may have a front surface. The mounting system may include a bail hanging unit for hanging the bail and may include a container mounting bracket. The container mounting bracket may include multiple mounting bracket retaining tabs interspersed along the length of the container mounting bracket. The tabs may be designed to support a container lip of the container at a plurality of locations along the length of the container mounting bracket.
