Description

The present invention relates to pet tableware used for feeding and watering pets.

Generally, when feeding pets such as dogs, cats, and small animals with food (food) or water, put dry food or wet food for pets or water in commercially available pet tableware such as dish-shaped or pot-shaped tableware. I'm doing it.

By the way, when pets eat food or drink water, if the above-mentioned general dish-shaped or pot-shaped tableware is used, the food and water in the tableware can easily spill and stain the surroundings. Become.

Various pet tableware have been proposed to solve such problems.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a tableware for pets, which is provided with a tableware body and a stand separately, and the tableware body can be placed by adjusting the angle of the tableware body with respect to the stand.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-212092

In the pet tableware described in Patent Document 1, the tilt angle of the tableware body is finely adjusted according to the size of the pet, and the hood housed in the tableware body is good and comfortable regardless of the size and type of the pet. It makes it possible to feed.

However, the tableware body of the pet tableware described in Patent Document 1 is a dish-shaped one having a concavely curved shape. Even if the tilt angle of the tableware body is adjusted according to the size of the pet, if the hood is housed in a simple dish-shaped tableware body, the pet will spill the hood out from the peripheral wall of the tableware body. Still occurs.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides pet tableware that is easy for pets to eat and that does not easily spill food or water around them.

The present invention is a pet tableware provided with an accommodating portion for accommodating a hood and water, and the accommodating portion is formed so as to be inclined so that the front side is lower than the rear side, and the front side of the accommodating portion is formed. It is characterized in that a band-shaped protrusion is formed in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral side surface excluding the central portion of the above.

According to the present invention, since the front side of the accommodating portion is formed so as to be inclined so as to be lower than the rear side, the hood and water accommodated in the accommodating portion collect on the front side. Therefore, pets can eat and drink food and drink water from the front side where food and water are collected, so that it is easy to eat and drink.

In addition, since a band-shaped protrusion is formed in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral side surface excluding the central portion on the front side of the accommodating portion, when a pet eats or drinks from the front side to the rear side of the accommodating portion, food and water are generated. You can eat and drink by hitting the tip and sandwiching food or water between the tip and the mouth (tongue). Therefore, pets can easily eat and drink food and water, and can effectively prevent spilling of food and water around them.

In the present invention, when the protrusion is formed in a crescent shape in which the wall thickness gradually increases from the front side to the rear side of the housing portion, the wall thickness of the rear protrusion portion becomes thicker. .. When a pet begins to eat or drink from the front side of the containment, a lot of food or water is pushed toward the rear side, and the food or water hits the thick rear protrusion. Therefore, when a pet eats or drinks food or water so as to be sandwiched between the protrusion and the mouth (tongue), the thickness of the protrusion is so thick that it is easy to pinch and even easier to eat and drink.

On the other hand, since the protrusion in the vicinity of the central portion on the front side is thin, the height difference between the central portion on the front side of the accommodating portion in which the protrusion is not formed and the protrusion in the vicinity thereof is very small. Therefore, for example, when the amount of hood or water contained in the storage portion is large, even if the hood or water enters the protrusion near the central portion on the front side, the pet moves from the front side to the rear side of the storage portion. You can eat and drink smoothly when you eat and drink.

Further, when the rising surface portion is above the position where the protruding portion is formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the accommodating portion, the rising surface portion serves as a barrier for the hood and water that have passed over the protruding portion. Food and water are returned inward. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively prevent the hood and water from spilling around.

When a support portion for supporting the storage portion is provided below the storage portion, the tableware can be stably supported. Therefore, when pets eat and drink, the tableware is stable and easy to eat and drink, and the food and water in the tableware are less likely to spill.

According to the present invention, pets can easily eat and drink, and it is possible to effectively prevent spills of food and water from the surroundings.

It is a perspective view which shows one Embodiment of the tableware for pets of this invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the other embodiment of the tableware for pets of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows an example of the state which put the hood in the tableware for pets of this invention. It is a plan view of FIG.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the pet tableware 1 of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the tableware 1 of the present embodiment viewed from diagonally above, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.

As pets using the tableware 1 of the present invention, various animals such as dogs, cats, and small animals are targeted.

The tableware 1 is made of pottery and includes a storage portion 2 for accommodating a hood and water (hereinafter referred to as "hood or the like"), and a support portion 4 for supporting the accommodating portion 2 is provided below the accommodating portion 2. It was done.

In the present invention, the material of the tableware 1 is not limited to pottery, and in addition to pottery and porcelain, non-metal materials such as plastic and metal materials such as aluminum and stainless steel can be used.

The accommodating portion 2 is formed in a circular dish shape in a plan view that is smoothly curved as a whole.

As the shape of the accommodating portion 2, any shape such as an ellipse as well as a circular shape can be adopted.

The accommodating portion 2 is formed so as to be inclined so that the front side 21 thereof is lower than the rear side 22. This tilt angle can be appropriately set depending on the type and size of the pet to eat and drink, but it is usually preferable to tilt it forward by about 5 degrees from the horizontal plane.

Since the accommodating portion 2 is formed so as to be tilted forward in this way, when the hood or the like is put in the accommodating portion 2, the hood or the like gathers on the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2. Therefore, if the pet eats and drinks food and the like from the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2, it is possible to start eating and drinking from a low position and also to start eating and drinking from the gathered food and the like. Therefore, pets are easy to eat and drink.

In the present specification, the "front side" means the front side when the tableware 1 is viewed from the front, and the "rear side" means the back side when the tableware 1 is viewed from the front.

Further, a band-shaped protrusion 3 is formed in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral side surface 23 excluding the central portion 21c of the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2.

The position where the protrusion 3 is formed is preferably slightly above the central portion of the inner peripheral side surface 23 of the accommodating portion 2 in the height direction. This is because a sufficient space for accommodating the hood or the like can be secured below the position where the protrusion 3 is formed.

The protrusion 3 is formed in a crescent shape so that the wall thickness gradually increases from the front side 21 to the rear side 22 of the accommodating portion 2. That is, the wall thickness of the protrusions 31 and 31 in the vicinity of the central portion 21c of the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2 is the thinnest, and the wall thickness gradually increases toward the rear side 22 of the accommodating portion 2, and the thickness is gradually increased toward the center of the rear side 22. The wall thickness of the protrusion 32 located at the portion 22c is the thickest.

Further, the protrusion 3 is smoothly and continuously formed on the inner peripheral side surface 23 of the accommodating portion 2. By forming the tableware smoothly and continuously in this way, it is possible to prevent the hood and the like from remaining, and it is possible to easily wash the tableware 1.

When the pet begins to eat and drink from the central portion 21c of the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2, many hoods and the like are pushed out toward the central portion 22c of the rear side 22 facing the central portion 21c of the front side 21. Then, the extruded hood or the like abuts on the protrusion 32 having the maximum wall thickness and the protrusion 3 having a wall thickness in the vicinity thereof.

On the other hand, the protrusions 31 and 31 in the vicinity of the central portion 21c of the front side 21 are thin, so that the thickness is thin.
The height difference between the central portion 21c of the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2 in which the protrusion 3 is not formed and the protrusions 31 and 31 in the vicinity of the central portion 21c is very small. Moreover, the protrusions 31 and 31 and the inner peripheral side surface 23 of the accommodating portion 2 are smoothly continuous.

Therefore, for example, when the amount of the hood or the like accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 is large, even if the hood or the like also enters the protrusions 31 and 31 near the central portion 21c of the front side 21, the pet is contained in the accommodating portion 2. When eating and drinking from the front side 21 to the rear side 22, you can eat and drink smoothly.

Further, above the position where the protrusion 3 is formed on the inner peripheral side surface 23 of the accommodating portion 2, the rising surface portion 24 is set. For the hoods and the like that have passed over the protrusions 3, the rising surface portion 24 serves as a barrier and the hoods and the like are returned inward. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively prevent the hood and the like from spilling around.

The rising surface portion 24 of the present embodiment constitutes an edge portion of the accommodating portion 2 and is formed so as to rise smoothly and continuously, but is formed so as to raise the rising surface portion 24 inward. You may.

A support portion 4 for supporting the accommodating portion 2 is formed below the accommodating portion 2. In the present embodiment, the support portion 4 is formed by an annular support leg 41.

A notch (not shown) may be formed in the support portion 4. In this case, the fingertip can be inserted into the back surface side of the support portion 4 through the notch portion, which makes it easy to carry.

Further, a plurality of non-slip members made of rubber or the like may be provided on the lower surface of the support portion 4 at intervals in the circumferential direction. In this case, the tableware 1 does not move easily when the pet is eating and drinking.

In the present embodiment, the support portion 4 is integrally molded with the accommodating portion 2, but the support portion 4 and the accommodating portion 2 may be separated from each other. Further, the support portion 4 may have a shape that covers the outer peripheral side surface of the accommodating portion 2.

By providing the support portion 4 in this way, the tableware 1 can be stably supported.

As the shape / size of the accommodating portion 2 and the height of the support portion 4, various shapes, sizes and heights can be adopted depending on the type and size of the pet or the type of the hood. For example, various tableware 1 can be provided for wet foods, dry foods, large dogs and cats, small dogs and cats, small animals, and the like.

Further, various patterns such as an embossed pattern, a striped pattern, and a hemp leaf pattern may be engraved on the outer peripheral wall of the tableware 1. By engraving the pattern in this way, it is possible to prevent the tableware 1 from slipping off when setting a meal or washing the tableware 1. Further, in addition to engraving the pattern, the outer peripheral wall may be colored or painted separately, and by doing so, it is possible to provide the tableware 1 which is not slippery and has excellent design.

FIG. 3 shows tableware 1 having a different configuration.

The tableware 1 shown in FIG. 2 described above is a type of tableware 1 suitable for dry food. On the other hand, the tableware 1 shown in FIG. 3 is a type of tableware 1 suitable for wet food.

In the tableware 1 for dry food shown in FIG. 2, the depth of the accommodating portion 2 is deep and the height of the support portion 4 is low.

Since the dry food is granular and has a larger volume than the wet food, the storage unit 2 is deeply set to prevent the dry food from spilling to the outside when the required amount of dry food is stored in the storage unit 2. be.

In the tableware 1 for wet food shown in FIG. 3, the depth of the accommodating portion 2 is shallow and the height of the supporting portion 4 is high.

Wet foods include low-viscosity soup-like foods, and pets eat such wet foods by putting their faces inside the tableware 1 and licking such wet foods. This is because it is easy and the pet's face is not easily soiled.

Next, a case where a pet eats and drinks using the tableware 1 configured in this way will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example in which the hood F is housed in the tableware 1, and FIG. 5 is a plan view of FIG.

First, the hood F is put into the accommodating portion 2 constituting the tableware 1, and the tableware 1 is presented in front of the pet from the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the hood F is accommodated in the tableware 1, the hood F gathers on the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2 because the accommodating portion 2 is tilted forward. Therefore, the pet can start eating the food F from the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2 where the food F is gathered, so that it is easy to eat.

Further, since the crescent-shaped protrusion 3 is formed on the inner peripheral side surface 23 excluding the central portion 21c of the front side 21 of the accommodating portion 2, the pet can hood from the front side 21 to the rear side 22 of the accommodating portion 2. When F is eaten, the food F hits the protrusion 3. Since the pet can eat the food F so as to be sandwiched between the protrusion 3 and the mouth (tongue), it is easy to eat.

Further, since the food F that has passed over the protrusion 3 is returned inward by the rising surface portion 24, the pet can eat the food F that was missed again. Since the hood F that spills out is only the one that cannot be completely prevented even by the protrusion 3 and the rising surface portion 24, the amount of the hood F that spills out is extremely reduced.

Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the hood F from spilling around.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented in various other forms. Therefore, the embodiment is merely an example in all respects and should not be construed in a limited way. The scope of the present invention is shown by the claims. Nothing is bound by the body of the specification. Further, all modifications and modifications that fall within the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention.
