Definitions
- the present invention describes a universal holder for different shapes and different sizes of feeding bowls.
- pets especially dogs and cats
- the reasons for this can always be seen in the same processes that have to do with the species' own behavior of the pets and that show recurring processes.
- dogs absorb both liquids and food in quasi “licking movements" of the tongue, the tongue sliding along the edge of the bowl and very easily pushing food over the bowl
- the bowl moves very often due to the rolling movements of the tongue and spills liquid or solid food.
- the rubber stoppers attached to the underside of the bowls cannot prevent this in medium to large dogs.
- the problem is different when feeding cats. Observed If you eat cats, you can see again and again that cats, like in the wild, try to "disassemble” the food and take particularly tasty pieces out of the bowl and then eat it on the floor next to the bowl.
- this aim is achieved by a device which consists of a non-slip base plate which extends beyond the well-known feeding bowls.
- the base plate has a zone which carries at least two fixing points at a distance from one another, which limit the freedom of movement of any feeding bowls to this zone. The distance between the fixing points is at least so large that the outer wall of any feeding bowl can be pushed in between.
- a feeding bowl is inserted between the outer and the inner fixing point of the device according to the invention, a partial area of the outer surface of this bowl is close to the outer fixing point and the corresponding inner surface of the bowl wall is close to the inner fixing point of the base plate.
- the distance between the outer and inner fixing point is dimensioned so that it offers enough space for the wall thickness of a bowl that is as thick as possible and can accommodate it tension-free in between. While it is sufficient for the inner fixation point to offer a punctiform stop, the outer fixation point is so wide that it supports the wall of any cup at least at two points.
- the function of the outer fixation point is to restrict any bowl in its freedom of movement to this inner zone of the base plate
- the function of the inner fixation point is to minimize the possibility of movement of the feed bowls within this inner zone of the base plate, the bowl has between the outer and the inner Fixation point the possibility to move. If the bowl is moved through the snout of the animal while the food is being picked up, the bowl can initially slide until the space between the internal fixation, the bowl wall and the external fixation point has been used up by touching these three parts and the bowl in this position is self-supporting with further pressure locked.
- the play between the outer fixation part, the inner fixation point and the wall of the food bowl is essentially independent of the size of the bowl radius, so that the effect of "self-locking" occurs after a short sliding movement in the same way for each bowl. There are therefore no further complex adjustable holding mechanisms for different bowls.
- the base plate is either formed from a metal plate or a plastic part or else from a rubber mat or from a combination of these materials. At a distal edge region of the base plate, this is in one
- the rear plate is raised vertically and thus also offers protection against possible splash marks on a nearby wall.
- the underside of the base plate is at least partially rubberized, so that it offers effective protection against slipping.
- the fixie points can be plugged into the base plate.
- the inner fixation point is provided with slightly asymmetrically arranged holes, so that a different distance from the outer fixation point is achieved depending on the direction of insertion into the base plate.
- the outer fixation point can also be changed. Since one side has a smaller curve radius than the other side, a better adaptation to bowls with a particularly small and particularly large radius is possible at any time in this embodiment by rotating the outer fixing point.
- the vertical rear plate can be inserted into the base plate of the device via a hinge or plug fit.
- the plateau-shaped or trough-shaped surfaces of the base area or the rear wall of the device can be varied with characterization parts which can be plugged on or stuck on.
- the rear wall of the device can be structured as a stone wall or provided with an animal cartoon, and in another case the base plate can be partially designed as an artificial turf or a carpet structure.
- the entire device is made of rubber.
- the outer fixing part is shaped as a circular elevation. This increases the torsional strength of the base plate. At the same time, this embodiment can be cleaned particularly well and can easily be stowed away again after use in a small space.
- this device can easily in the car on trips and medium in hotel rooms taken '.
- the device itself is optimally non-slip due to the rubber material used and the outer ring-shaped fixing part and the inner fixing point result in a particularly good locking for each bowl used due to its rubber coating.
- the height of the inner fixing point can be reduced in this version due to the high friction so that it is in a flat knot or when in use a soft gum with maximum frictional resistance can be formed into a flat structure that fills the area within the ring-shaped outer fixing part.
- the base plate is formed from a non-slip hollow body which can be filled at least partially with granules or sand or water. Due to the additional weight that can be achieved, this form of the device is particularly suitable for very thin-walled and very light feeding bowls and especially for feeding large dogs who like to move the bowls.
- the base plate consists of a piece of carpet which is circularly punched out in a central zone and is permanently attached to a continuous rubber mat.
- the inner fixing part is attached near a pronounced front, from which the animal approaches the device. This has the advantage that the distance of all feed bowls to the front edge of the device is always kept the same and particularly small bowls are easily accessible for small animals.

- Fig. 10 Oblique view of a device according to the invention with central round fixing parts and a circular recess
- Fig.l shows a device according to the invention in supervision, with the
- Base plate (1) an inner fixing point (2), an outer fixing part (3), the back plate (7) and the surrounding bead (6).
- the Fig la is without a feed bowl, at lb a feed bowl (5) is used.
- 2 shows a device according to the invention in section, with which
- FIG. 3 shows a round device according to the invention made of rubber with the circular outer fixing part (12), the base plate (1), the bead (6), an inserted feed pan (5), the outer (3) and inner (2) fixing part and the rear wall (7).
- 4 shows a device according to the invention on which the effect of self-locking on different bowl radii is illustrated on two very different sized (4) feed bowls.
- Fig.5 shows in section a device filled with granules (15).
- FIG. 6 shows a section of an inventive device outer (3) and inner (2) fixing part in 6a with the edge of a large and in 6b with the edge of a small feed bowl (4).
- the outer fixing part (3) has one side with a small (9) and another side with a large (10) curvature. Both fixing parts can be repositioned so that the small and the other the large curvature comes to rest on the feed bowl.
- the inner fixing part (2) can be repositioned so that the distance between the inner and outer fixing part changes.
- FIG. 7 shows a rear wall of a device according to the invention with a characterization (13).
- FIG. 8 shows a device according to the invention in a turf structure (14) with an inner fixing part (2) which is arranged towards the front and thus holds each feed bowl as close as possible to the feed.
- 9 shows a device according to the invention, in which the outer fixing part (3) is designed in the shape of a ring and the inner fixing part (2) is designed with a large area due to the use of soft rubber with a maximum high frictional resistance.
