Description

      The present invention relates to a tableware for pets, and more particularly, to a tableware provided with an obstacle inside to prevent fast eating.

As a conventional pet tableware, the bottom surface of a typical dish-shaped tableware or bowl-shaped tableware has a flat surface. However, as a dedicated tableware for a pet, for example, 5 on the bottom surface of a tableware to increase the taste of a dog. Some have a plurality of bulging protrusions having a height of about 8 mm.

JP 08-131006

However, taking pets, especially dogs, as an example, there is a tendency to eat fast and eat when eating. A plurality of conventional bulging protrusions also have no height that can be an obstacle, so it does not make any sense to prevent fast eating. Currently, there is no investigation of tableware that assists correction to prevent fast eating.

        Taking pets, especially dogs, as an example, there is a tendency for food to scatter around the dishes because of eating quickly. However, it is not currently considered to be a tableware that assists in correction to prevent it.

Unlike humans, dogs use tongues to feed, but this tongue tends to catch food on the bottom of the dishes. The current mainstream dry food is circular, so it has the disadvantage of being easy to roll and easy to eat, leading to quick eating, but there are obstacles inside the pet tableware to reduce the space for pets to eat food Tableware that aims to prevent pets from eating quickly.

        In addition, by suppressing fast eating, it can be eaten only slowly, so it also has the effect of preventing food from splashing around.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention proposes a tableware according to claim 1, which is formed of a bottom surface and a frame plate, and is provided with an obstacle inside. Further, in the present invention, in claim 2, a pet tableware is proposed in which the internal obstacle secures a space in the tableware so that the pet can eat food, and has smoothness that does not damage the tongue.

Since the present invention adopts the above-described configuration, when eating food stored in the tableware body, the tip of the nose of the pet and the tip of the tongue are caught by an obstacle inside the tableware, and this obstacle prevents the pet from eating quickly. It will also prevent food from splashing around.

        The present invention will be specifically described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

1 and 2, the tableware provided with obstacles is composed of, for example, earthenware, and has a tableware body 1 made of earthenware having a stable weight as a whole. The tableware body 1 is composed of a base 2, an obstacle 3 and a frame plate 4. The tableware body 1 for pets can be porcelain as well as pottery, and can be a metal such as synthetic resin, stainless steel, and aluminum.

      Moreover, the obstruction 3 is formed in the bottom plate 2 of this invention toward the inside of the tableware main body 1. FIG. The size and number of obstacles 3 can be changed as appropriate. However, the obstacles are designed as a drawing with a smoothness that does not hurt the tongue, ensuring a space in the tableware that allows pets to eat food. The diameter is about 20 to 40 mm, and the height is about 40 to 60 mm. Further, the number of obstacles 3 is three, and the obstacles 3 are formed on the bottom surface 2 at an appropriate interval with a good balance.

      The obstacle 3 exists so that the bottom surface 2 is not smooth, and the obstacle inside the tableware causes the dog's nose and tongue to get caught by the obstacle inside the tableware when the dog eats food. Fast eating is suppressed. (Putting a large amount of food into the stomach at once and exercising immediately after drinking water causes gas to ferment and cause torsion in the stomach, causing sudden gastric dilatation and torsion syndrome and twisting the stomach. Reduce the risk of terrible illnesses that fall into shock and die if left unattended in a few hours)

    This obstacle prevents pets from eating quickly and splattering food around them.

    There is also an effect of feeling full by eating slowly

      Example 1

    Ten dogs (regardless of type and size) were randomly divided into two groups. The first group was fed with dishes with obstacles to prevent pets from eating quickly. The same amount of food was given in a conventional flat tableware with no obstacles.

When this experiment was continued for one month, the first group was overwhelmingly long, and there were no dogs eating fast, and there was no scattering of food around. However, the second group noticed dogs that eat quickly and dogs that scatter food around.

It is a top view of the tableware which provided the obstruction for the quick eating suppression of the pet of this invention. It is AA sectional view taken on the line of the previous figure.
