In alternative embodiment, inner casing 12 can use itFor example fixture of its suitable approach or adhesive and be secured to shell 14.

Bowl 10 also can comprise the non-slip feature portion of 16 forms of encircling. Ring 16 is arranged on shell 14, makesRing 16 basal surface 17 is to towards lower and contact surface 50, as shown in Figure 2.

Component orientations shown in seeing figures.1.and.2, such as " bottom ", " top ", " downwards "," upwards ", " level ", " vertically " directional terms are used. These terms are only for exampleObject is used, and is not intended to limit the scope of claims.

Ring 16 can be formed by the material of elasticity or other type, and (, this material is had laterally at bowl 10Level) provide anti-skidding when the External Force Acting of component. For example, ring 16 can be by synthesizing or natural rubber forms.Horizontal force component is represented by the Reference numeral in Fig. 2 " F ".

The basal surface 17 of ring 16 can have formation multiple concentric spine, projection or rib 18 thereon,As shown in Fig. 5-7. Rib 18 is not illustrated in Fig. 4 for the purpose of clear. Rib 18 is considered to energyWhen enough moistening on surface 50, increase the friction between ring 16 and surface 50. In alternative embodiment,Ring 16 can be configured to there is no rib 18.

Inner casing 12 has the sidewall 30 circumferentially extending, and in abutting connection with the end table of the substantially flat of sidewall 30Face 32, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Sidewall 30 and basal surface 32 limit and can hold for example animal useDrinking water or the open volume 33 of meal.

Shell 14 has the sidewall 36 circumferentially extending, and in abutting connection with the basal surface 38 of sidewall 36.

The corresponding sidewall 30 of inner casing 12 and shell 14 and sidewall 36 can be with respect to vertical direction upwards alsoOutward-dipping approximately 15 degree. In alternative embodiment, sidewall 30 and sidewall 36 can be vertically-oriented, orPerson can upwards and slope inwardly.

Ring 16 can be installed to be and allow ring 16 to be easy to remove and again pacify from shell 14 on shell 14Be contained on shell 14. For example, shell 14 can have the form that is formed the raceway groove 22 being located thereonAlmost circular towards under groove, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7. Raceway groove 22 is by first of shell 14Surface 24a, second surface 24b and the 3rd surperficial 24b limit. First surface 24a and second surface 24bUpwards extend from the basal surface 38 of shell, with one heart, and form the sidepiece of raceway groove 22. The 3rd surperficial 24cIn abutting connection with the first and second surperficial 24a, 24b, and limit the top of raceway groove 22.

The width of raceway groove 22 is by the symbol " W in Fig. 6₁" represent, and by first surface 24a and secondInterval between the 24b of surface limits. The width of ring 16 is by the symbol " W in Fig. 6₂" represent, and byInterval between inner circumferential surface 25a and the external peripheral surface 25b of ring 16 limits.

Ring 16 is maintained in raceway groove 22 by interference engagement. Particularly, ring 16 and shell 14 are joinedBe set to the width W that makes raceway groove 22₁Approximate or be slightly less than the width W of ring 16₂. Due to this structure, ring16 the first and second surperficial 24a, 24b by shell 14 and the corresponding inside and outside circumferential surface of ring 16Friction between 24a, 24b and being maintained in raceway groove 22.

The degree of depth of raceway groove 22 represents by the symbol in Fig. 6 " D ", and by the first surface 24a of shell 14With the height of second surface 24b or vertically size restriction. The height of ring 16 is by the symbol in Fig. 6 " H "Represent, and limited by the distance between the bottom of rib 18 and the top surface 27 of ring 16. Ring 16 and outerShell 14 is configured to make to encircle 16 height H and is slightly larger than the depth D of raceway groove 22. Due to this setting, ribBar 18 extends to below the plane of intersecting with the basal surface 38 of shell 14, and the basal surface 17 of ring 16Remainder approximate coplanar with basal surface 38 as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5. So rib 18 is at bowl10 rest on surface 50 on time contact surface 50.

Rib 18 and surface contacting between 50 increased and is subject to horizontal force component F at bowl 10 and does the used timeThe frictional force that opposing bowl 10 slides on surface 50. For example, this can occur in when dog or the examination of other animalFigure from bowl, drink water and by bowl surface 50 promote time marquis. Frictional force thereby can prevent that bowl from 10 movingMoving expectation or the selected place of leaving on surface 50.

Ring 16 can remove fast and easily from shell 14. For example, hope removes ring 16People can be by the lower limb of the external peripheral surface 25b of ring 16 and the hand that can catch relatively soft ring 16Finger, pocket knife or other object engage. Ring 16 can outwards promote, and away from raceway groove as shown in Figure 722, thus allow people to catch ring 16 until expose enough parts of ring 16. So whole ring 16 canBe drawn out raceway groove 22.

Before the remainder of bowl 10 is placed on dish-washing machine, ring 16 thereby can be with the minimum timeRemove from shell 14 with strength. Make to stand such as ring 16 anti-slipping mechanisms such as grade the shadow of multiple dishwasher cycleSound can cause anti-slipping mechanism and accessory tool performance thereof to reduce. Therefore, ring 16 is configured to removableCan eliminate the service life that this potential performance reduces source and therefore extends bowl 10.

A part for basal surface 17 for bowl and the basal surface of shell 14 38 are approximate coplanar, as Fig. 1 and TuShown in 5. This features is difficult to so that ring 16 is easy to the side removing from raceway groove 22 dog or other animalFormula is caught ring 16.

The plastic material that forms shell 14 can be accepted paint and ink. Therefore, ornamental feature portion 40Can paint or be printed on the outer surface of sidewall 36 of shell 14, as shown in figures 1 and 3. Compare itUnder, stainless steel surfaces generally can not be accepted paint or ink, thereby can not make suitable surface for quiltPaint or printed decoration features. And plastic housing 14 opposings bite.

Can use jet moulding or other suitable manufacturing technology with relatively such as raceway groove 22 features such as gradeMore approaching dimensional tolerance is formed in shell 14. Form the energy of raceway groove 22 with relatively approaching tolerancePower can be conducive to use interference engagement, so that ring 16 is remained on shell. And interference engagement can be kept awayExempt from ring 16 to be attached to the needed fixture of shell 14, pillar or other supplementary features portion. And,As mentioned above, the use of interference engagement is conducive to will encircle 16 from shell 14 by minimum time and strengthRemove. By contrast, use punching press or other metal operation technique, be difficult to or can not be conducive toEncircle the required necessary accuracy of 16 interference engagement and will be formed on stainless steel case such as raceway groove 22 features such as gradeIn.
