PET FEEDING BOWL

Abstract

A pet feeding bowl may include a main body and an inner portion. In one embodiment, the main body is bowl-shaped with a receiving space. The main body also includes a holding portion at the bottom thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the inner portion is also bowl-shaped with a receiving space. The inner portion is configured to dispose in the receiving space of the main body. The inner portion can be further secured at the main body when a predetermined amount of liquid is placed on a back side of the inner portion, so when the back side of the inner portion is in contact with the bottom portion of the receiving space, a surface tension will hold the inner portion to the receiving space to further secure it thereon.

Claims

1. A pet feeding bowl comprising: a bowl-shaped main body with a first receiving space; and a bowl-shaped inner portion with a second receiving space, wherein the inner portion is configured to be received in the receiving space of the main body, and a predetermined amount of liquid is placed on a back side of the inner portion, so when the back side of the inner portion is in contact with a bottom portion of the receiving space, a surface tension is generated to hold the inner portion to the receiving space to further secure it thereon.

2. The pet feeding bowl of claim 1, wherein the main body has a holding portion at a lower edge of the main body.

3. The pet feeding bowl of claim 1, wherein a dent is formed on the top edge of the main body so the inner portion can be lifted up easily to overcome the surface tension between the main body and the inner portion.

4. The pet feeding bowl of claim 3, wherein a dent is formed on the top edge of the main body so the inner portion can be lifted up easily to overcome the surface tension between the main body and the inner portion.

5. The pet feeding bowl of claim 1, wherein the inner portion is plastic.

6. The pet feeding bowl of claim 1, wherein the inner portion is made by edible materials, so the owner of the pet does not to worry if the pet accidentally consumes the inner portion.

7. The pet feeding bowl of claim 4, wherein the inner portion is made by edible materials, so the owner of the pet does not to worry if the pet accidentally consumes the inner portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The detailed description set forth below is intended as a description of the presently exemplary device provided in accordance with aspects of the present invention and is not intended to represent the only forms in which the present invention may be prepared or utilized. It is to be understood, rather, that the same or equivalent functions and components may be accomplished by different embodiments that are also intended to be encompassed within the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0016] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although any methods, devices and materials similar or equivalent to those described can be used in the practice or testing of the invention, the exemplary methods, devices and materials are now described.

[0017] All publications mentioned are incorporated by reference for the purpose of describing and disclosing, for example, the designs and methodologies that are described in the publications that might be used in connection with the presently described invention. The publications listed or discussed above, below and throughout the text are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that the inventors are not entitled to antedate such disclosure by virtue of prior invention.

[0018] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of “a”, “an”, and “the” includes reference to the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the terms “comprise or comprising”, “include or including”, “have or having”, “contain or containing” and the like are to be understood to be open-ended, i.e., to mean including but not limited to. As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of “in” includes “in” and “on” unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0019] It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element could be termed a second element, and, similarly, a second element could be termed a first element, without departing from the scope of the embodiments. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0020] In one aspect, referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a pet feeding bowl 200 may include a main body 210 and an inner portion 220. In one embodiment, the main body 210 is bowl-shaped with a receiving space 212. The main body 210 also includes a holding portion 211 at a lower edge of the main body 210.

[0021] In an exemplary embodiment, the inner portion 220 is also bowl-shaped with a receiving space 221, and the food for the pet can be placed therein. The inner portion 220 is configured to be smaller than the main body 210 and can be disposed in the receiving space 212 of the main body 210. The inner portion 220 can be further secured at the main body 210 when a predetermined amount of liquid is placed on a back side 222 of the inner portion 220, so when the back side 222 of the inner portion 220 is in contact with a bottom portion 2121 of the receiving space 212, a surface tension is generated to hold the inner portion 220 to the receiving space 212 to further secure it thereon.

[0022] When in use, the inner portion 220 can be removed and thrown away after the pet finishes eating, so the main body 210 does not have to be washed every time. A dent 213 is formed on the top edge of the main body 210 so the inner portion 220 can be lifted up easily to overcome the surface tension between the main body 210 and the inner portion 220. In one embodiment, the inner portion 220 is plastic. In another embodiment, the inner portion 220 is made by edible materials, so the owner of the pet does not to worry if the pet accidentally consumes the inner portion 220.

[0023] Having described the invention by the description and illustrations above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as limited by the foregoing description, but includes any equivalents.
