Description

Tableware for pets with adjustable height and depth {HEIGHT AND DEPTH ADJUSTABLE PET BOWL}

The present invention relates to tableware for companion animals, and in detail, containers of different heights and depths can be easily combined into one structure in response to the size of the companion animal's body, so that companion animals can provide various types of food, such as water, feed, and snacks. It relates to a tableware for pets that can be adjusted in height and depth that provides various types of food in a comfortable position.

In general, as modern society becomes more and more nuclear family, the population that considers companion animals familiar to humans, such as dogs and cats, as if they are members of a family, is rapidly increasing. These companion animals are recognized as beings like friends and family, who live in the same space with people and give people psychological stability and intimacy.

In order to keep these companion animals healthy, special affection and management are essential. In particular, thorough management of nutritional deficiencies and overeating problems is required, such as supplying the right amount of food in a timely manner, while tableware for companion animals is also an important factor so that companion animals can eat in a more comfortable posture. there is.

However, tableware for companion animals currently sold in the market is manufactured in a uniformly simple structure with a height and depth, while most households do not consider the size of companion animals that have varied from small to large companion animals. Use utensils of the same size. In the case of feeding using standardized tableware for companion animals, the eating posture may be uncomfortable depending on the breed or habits of the companion animal and may show a tendency to vomit frequently.

In addition, most of the traditional tableware for companion animals currently sold in the market is simply a function to accommodate food, and when a companion animal eats food, it is always eaten with its head bowed, resulting in considerable discomfort and severe cases. It caused diseases such as herniated disc, and this phenomenon became more serious as the pet grew up.

Accordingly, the economic burden has been increased, such as having to purchase and use tableware suitable for the size of the companion animal each time it grows up. Accordingly, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0479734, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0488396, and Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0490026, etc., are proposed tableware for pets (rice bowl or dining table) that can be adjusted in height and rotated. became

However, although the tableware proposed in the above-mentioned prior documents can adjust the height, the depth of the tableware cannot be adjusted, so problems in the existing traditional tableware still occur. In particular, not only does the appearance greatly deviate from the shape of traditional tableware, but it also causes objection to companion animals, which is inconvenient to use and complicated to manufacture, which increases the manufacturing cost.

Accordingly, the present invention is proposed to solve the problems of the prior art, and it is easy to combine containers of different sizes, heights and depths, each manufactured to correspond to the body size of the companion animal, into one structure, and the body of the companion animal The purpose is to provide a tableware for companion animals that can be adjusted in height and depth, which can be selectively used depending on the size to provide various types of food, such as water, feed, and snacks, in a comfortable position.

The present invention according to an aspect for achieving the above object is a first container that can contain any one of the food, including water, feed, or snacks; And at least one of the height and depth of the first container is formed to be different from each other, is formed to contain any one of the food, and the bottom part is tightly and detachably coupled to the bottom part of the first container. It provides a tableware for companion animals capable of adjusting height and depth, characterized in that it includes a second container that forms a single structure.

Preferably, the first and second containers may be characterized in that magnets or metals are embedded in the bottom portion, respectively, and are coupled to each other by magnetic force.

Preferably, the first and second containers may be characterized in that screw grooves are formed on the bottom portion, respectively, and are mutually coupled to each other in a screw coupling manner.

Preferably, the first and second containers may be characterized in that each of the bottom surfaces is provided with Velcro and mutually coupled to each other in a Velcro coupling manner.

Preferably, the first and second containers may be characterized in that screw grooves are formed on the bottom, respectively, and are coupled to each other in a screw fastening manner.

Preferably, the first and second containers may be characterized in that an alignment groove and a locking protrusion are formed on the bottom surface to be coupled to each other in a fitting and locking manner.

Preferably, a seating groove is formed on the bottom of any one of the first and second containers, and the bottom part of the other container in which the seating groove is not formed has a shape corresponding to the inner surface of the seating groove, and the seating groove The first and second containers may be characterized in that they are coupled to each other in an interference fit manner.

Preferably, a seating groove is formed on the bottom surface of any one of the first and second containers, and a support protrusion is formed on the bottom surface of the remaining container in which the seating groove is not formed, so as to closely adhere to the inner surface of the seating groove It may be characterized in that it is inserted and male and female are coupled.

As described above, according to the tableware for companion animals according to the present invention, containers of different sizes, heights and depths, each manufactured to correspond to the body size of the companion animal, are easily combined into one structure, and the body of the companion animal is easily combined. By selectively using it according to the size, various types of food can be provided so that the pet can eat it in a comfortable position.

Therefore, the present invention has the effect of preventing diseases such as neck disc by minimizing neck fatigue when pets eat food by making it possible to adjust the height and depth as comfortably and safely as possible when feeding according to the size of the companion animal. can be obtained In addition, it is possible to adjust the appropriate height and depth each time the companion animal grows, so it is possible to obtain the effect of reducing the hassle and economic burden of purchasing tableware each time the companion animal grows.
