Definitions
- the invention relates to a feeding device for pets, which protects against pollution of the surrounding living area.
- feeding bowls with a “moat” surrounding a central feeding bowl were also presented, which are intended to protect the feed and especially the domestic animals from vermin, such as ants, which try to get into the bowl from outside. This principle stems from this the idea of the moats at old water castles.
- the vessel can be tilted more easily by a greedily eating animal.
- the circumferential channel, filled with water when used as intended, is lower in its outer edge than the inner feed bowl. With this construction, feed or liquid can therefore easily escape through the outer rim of the bowl and contaminate the feeding area. Due to the solid bottom as a common base plate of the food bowl described in US Pat. No. 5,113,798, space-saving stacking of similar containers is not possible and thus additionally increases the costs for transport, storage and sales.
- the fact that the inner feed bowl with its comparatively smaller radius is higher than the outer rim of the bowl also makes it impossible to offer bowls according to US Pat. No.
- the aim of the present invention is to construct a feeding device which prevents the spilling of feed and liquid from the
- a feeding device Prevents the feeding device and thus prevents the feed area from becoming dirty. Its shape takes into account the habits of pets, it is easy to manufacture, it is torsionally rigid even with low material thicknesses, it is stackable, it is easily accessible and cleanable everywhere and is therefore easy to handle is that it is widely used.
- This aim is achieved in a feeding device according to the invention in that an inner trough for receiving the feed is surrounded by a second trough surrounding the inner trough with an outer functional edge. In its entire course, the outer functional edge is equal to or higher than the inner hollow edge. It is thus achieved that the feed or liquid emerging from the inner feed trough spills into the outer trough and is returned there at the functional edge into the bowl.
- the height levels of the two troughs are arranged so that the deepest depression of the outer trough is higher than the deepest depression of the inner trough.
- the aim is also achieved in a feeding device according to the invention in that the outer functional edge, which is the same or higher in its entire course than the edge of the inner trough, in the areas of the feeding bowl where experience has shown that food and liquid are more often over the rim of the bowl be pushed, its height is adjusted according to the degree of danger.
- the functional edge in a frontal area of the bowl where the animal approaches and experience shows that the risk of spillage is low is relatively lower than in the lateral areas of the bowl.
- the functional edge according to the invention is designed even higher in the rear area of the bowl, in which animal habits spill particularly frequently.
- the aim is also achieved in that the outer trough, inner edge and inner trough consist of one piece of the inner wall of the feeding device. Due to the continuous corrugation of this wall inwards and downwards in an alternating folding from concave to convex surfaces, a circular torsional stiffness is achieved. This has the consequence that the feeding devices according to the invention can be formed from thinner material thicknesses with the same stability.
- the feeding device Due to the fact that in an embodiment of the feeding device according to the invention the lowest point of the outer trough is higher than the lowest point of the inner trough, the feeding device is easily accessible in all areas. A good possibility of cleaning the device according to the invention is thus ensured the effect of the torsional stiffness is further improved by the different levels of the two troughs.
- the goal of the stackability of uniformly shaped feeding devices according to the invention is achieved by the design of the walls in a conical shape. As a result, repackaging can be dispensed with and the transport, storage and sales area can be kept minimally and inexpensively.
- two separate types of forage can be applied simultaneously in one feeding device. Protection against contamination of the feeding place is in turn ensured by the combination of the functional edge surrounding the outer height and at different heights.
- the area of the functional edge which is higher at the rear is designed in a two-dimensional and spatial manner. This area can thus be used to increase the versatility and individuality of the feeding device.
- the functional edge is shaped in comic scenes or realistic shapes, such as a bone or an animal contour.
- the inner trough can be shaped oval in a particularly practical embodiment in the mesial-distal direction with the same effectiveness. This has the advantage that, with the same external dimensions of the feeding device, the inner feed trough is enlarged and is therefore suitable for larger animals.
- the outer trough is flatter and narrower in the region of the rear raised functional edge than in the rest of the course in favor of the oval Expansion of the inner trough.
- the circular shape of the rear functional edge is flattened. This shape is particularly suitable for animals who like the food bowl push against a wall of the food compartment, since the food bowl with its flattened rear wall and the flattened functional edge is supported on the wall and its position is stabilized.

- Fig. 2 shows in a cross section the bottom of the inner feed trough (1), inner edge (2), depression of the outer trough (3), the functional edge (4) and the conical outer wall (5).
- Fig. 3 shows in longitudinal section the inner feed trough (1), the inner edge (2), the outer trough (3) and the functional edge (4) running at different heights with the area (6) lowered towards the front and the area raised towards the rear (7).

- FIG. 6 shows a top view of a feeding device according to the invention with an oval inner feed pan (1), a flattened functional edge at the rear and a bowl wall (8) and, in this area, a narrower and flatter outer trough (9)
