TOY MOBILE FISHBOWL DISPLAY AND TRANSPORT

CLAIM OF PRIORITY

[0001] This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.

63/112,671, filed on November 12, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present disclosure relates to a toy. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus for housing and displaying an aquatic pet in a mobile display unit.

INTRODUCTION

[0003] Fishkeeping is a hobby almost as old as civilization itself. Ancient Sumerians were known to keep freshwater fish in artificial ponds, often as a means of stocking fish for later consumption. It is believed that roughly two thousand years ago in China and Japan the selective breeding of carp brought about domestic koi and goldfish. Today, fishkeeping is a multibillion- dollar industry.

[0004] In particular, fish make great pets for children for a variety of reasons. First, fish are generally low maintenance compared to many other pets, especially when the aquarium is properly established. Second, pet fish provide children with a sense of responsibility. Whether it is feeding the fish, turning on lights, or cleaning the aquarium, a pet fish instills routine and responsibility in a child. Third, pet fish frequently have vibrant colors or interesting patterns that catch the attention of children.

[0005] Unfortunately, it is often difficult for children to interact with their pet fish. Although, some species of fish may show “character” and many others may swim to the waterline at feeding time, most fish do not have the capacity to be truly interactive with a child. Further, aquariums are unwieldy and very difficult to move. A 10-gallon aquarium (a standard small home aquarium), when filled with water, gravel, and decor, may weigh over 100 pounds. Thus, not only is it difficult for a child to interact with their pet fish, but it’s cumbersome to move the pet fish.

[0006] It is possible to transport a pet fish in a plastic bag, however thin plastic bags are prone to leaks. It is also possible for an individual to place the pet fish in a travel-size container with rigid walls. However, in doing so, the individual must still capture the fish in the aquarium, usually Attorney Docket No.: 1079.002PCT with a net. This may not only be a time-consuming and messy affair, but netting the fish also induces a great deal of stress in the pet fish.

[0007] It would be desirable, therefore, to provide an apparatus that solved the issue of interacting and transporting a pet fish. It is common that a child will want to interact with their pet and show it to friends and family.

[0008] It would further be desirable to resolve the issue of having to capture the fish before transport, with an apparatus that may function as both a display aquarium and a transportation aquarium.

SUMMARY

The apparatus may include a bowl including a bowl base, and an opening and a body, having a right axel, a left axel, and a fork having at least one tine. The body may further include one or more wheels attached to any of the right axel, the left axel, or the at least one tine. In an embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a bowl seating part, where the bowl base and the bowl seating part interface, and a handle attached to the bowl seating part.

[0010] In an embodiment, the apparatus further includes a lid, where the lid is attached at a point along a circumference of the opening, and/or where the lid covers at least a total surface area of the opening when in a closed position. The lid may further include a secondary opening located on a top surface of the lid.
