Abstract
A vessel assembly for holding and presenting solids, liquids or both, including a vessel body having a base portion and at least one wall member extending from the base portion and defining at least one cavity for containing solids, liquids or both; a stabilizer including a stabilizer body for ground engagement; and a fastener assembly for releasably retaining the body and the stabilizer in a mated relationship, the fastener including a first fastener portion operatively associated with the vessel body and a second fastener portion operatively associated with the stabilizer in a configuration for mating with the first fastener portion for stabilizing the vessel.
Claims19
A vessel assembly for holding and presenting solids, liquids or both, the vessel assembly comprising:
- a vessel body having a base portion and at least one wall member extending from the base portion and defining at least one cavity for containing solids, liquids or both;
- a stabilizer element including a stabilizer body for engagement with an underlying surface;
- and
- a fastener assembly for releasably retaining the body and the stabilizer in a mated relationship, the fastener including a first fastener portion operatively associated with the vessel body and a second fastener portion operatively associated the stabilizer in a configuration for mating with the first fastener portion when the second fastener portion for stabilizing the vessel.
A pet dish assembly for holding and presenting pet-related items the pet dish comprising;
- a dish body having a base portion and at least one wall member extending from the base portion and defining at least one cavity for containing pet related items;
- a support member including a generally elongate body for engagement with an underlying surface;
- and
- a fastener assembly for releasably retaining the dish and the support member in a mated relationship, the fastener including a first fastener portion operatively associated with the dish and a second fastener portion operatively associated with the support member in a configuration for mating with the first fastener portion for impeding relative movement of the dish body and the support member when the pet dish assembly is in use.
A method for stabilizing a pet dish assembly for holding and presenting pet-related items, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a pet dish including a dish body having a base portion and at least one wall member extending from the base portion and defining at least one cavity for containing pet related items;
- providing a support member including a generally elongate body for engagement with an underlying surface;
- providing a fastener assembly including a first fastener portion operatively associated with the dish and a second fastener portion operatively associated with the support member in a configuration for mating with the first fastener portion;
- engaging the support member with the underlying support surface;
- and
- placing the pet dish on the support member in a manner wherein the first fastener portion and the second fastener portion are in a mated relationship.
