- The detailed description particularly refers to the accompanying figures in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a upper front perspective view of a bowl in accordance with the present disclosure; -
FIG. 2 is a lower back perspective view thereof; -
FIG. 3 is a left elevation view thereof; -
FIG. 4 is a right side elevation view thereof; -

FIG. 10 is a cross-section view thereof, taken along lines 10-10 inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 11 is a cross-section view thereof, taken along lines 11-11 inFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view similar toFIG. 11 , but the view ofFIG. 12 shows two of the bowls stacked. - An open-top vessel embodied as a
bowl 10 according to the present disclosure is shown in various views inFIGS. 1-11 and is configured to improve the ability of a user to use a spoon or other similar utensil to remove material from thevessel 10. Thebowl 10 is formed to include a well 12 in a lower region of thebowl 10, thewell 12 providing an area where liquid or semi-liquid materials will collect due to the effect of gravity on the materials when thebowl 10 is positioned on a flat surface. As will be explained in further detail below, the structure of thebowl 10 allows thebowl 10 to be positioned in a normal orientation, while still improving the ability to remove the final fragments and/or liquid by collecting those materials in the well. As such, a person of limited dexterity may use thebowl 10 more effectively than a typical bowl having a flat bottom. Thebowl 10 is well suited for use by children as well as adults with limited motor functions. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , thebowl 10 is formed to include a generallycircular lip 14 which flares outwardly from anupper wall 16 and which is symmetrical about anaxis 24. Theupper wall 16 is annular with a larger diameter 18 at thelip 14 which decreases as theupper wall 16 descends vertically from thelip 14. For purposes of discussion, thebowl 10 may be considered to have anupper portion 20 which is that portion of thebowl 10 that lies above animaginary line 22 shown inFIG. 3 . Theupper portion 20 is symmetrical about thecentral axis 24 and includes theupper wall 16 andlip 14. Alower portion 26 is adapted to improve the collection of materials in thebowl 10 through the action of gravity such that materials are urged to thewell 12. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , thebowl 10 is formed to include an integratedstand 28 that is generally cylindrical and has a varying height to accommodate the presence of abowl bottom 30 which, when thestand 28 is positioned on a flat horizontal surface (not shown), defines anincline surface 32 with ahigher side 34 positioned opposite thewell 12 and alower side 36 adjacent thewell 12 as shown in the cross-sectional view ofFIG. 11 . - The
stand 28 extends from abottom surface 38 of thebowl 10 and forms acavity 40. Importantly, and as shown inFIG. 12 ,multiple bowls 10 are stackable when thebowls 10 regardless of the rotation of any of thebowls 10 about theirrespective axis 24. In this way, thebowls 10 nest and stack in an orderly fashion. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , a line ofinflection 46 that corresponds generally to theimaginary line 22 is eccentric when viewed alongaxis 24 as shown inFIG. 7 . Thelower portion 26 includes a first descendinginterior surface 48 that is generally concentric relative to theupper wall 16. The descendinginterior surface 48 intersects theincline surface 32 at aninflection line 72. Awell wall region 50 is defined by twoinflection lines interior surface 58 of theupper wall 20 into thewell 12. Thewell wall 56 provides asurface 60 which may be engaged by a utensil as the user moves the utensil toward thewell 12. The well 12 is formed to include aconvex surface 62 which intersects and extends from theincline surface 32 at aninflection line 70, providing a user clearance to place the utensil in the well 12 to gather liquid and other materials from thewell 12. - In working the utensil down into the well 12 and up against either the
well wall 56 or toward theincline surface 32, the action of the utensil, such as a spoon, for example, moves material out of the well 12, but the effect of gravity urges the material back toward and onto the utensil. In other words, a user may make use of the well 12 not just to gather materials, but also as clearance for the utensil and use the effect of gravity on thewell wall 56 andincline surface 32 to collect those materials. - While the disclosure has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and the foregoing description, such illustration and description are to be considered illustrative or exemplary and not restrictive. The disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. From reading the present disclosure, other modifications will be apparent to a person skilled in the art. Such modifications may involve other features, which are already known in the art and may be used instead of or in addition to features already described herein. In the claims, the word “comprising” does not exclude other elements or steps, and the indefinite article “a” or “an” does not exclude a plurality.
- Although this disclosure refers to specific embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the subject matter set forth in the accompanying claims.
