Abstract
A collapsible dish assembly for carrying a water dish on a collar of an animal includes a dish that has a plurality of collapsible sections. The dish is positionable in a flattened position. Additionally, the dish is positionable in an expanded position to contain water. A coupler is coupled to the dish and the coupler engages a collar on an animal when the dish is in the collapsed position. In this way the dish can be suspended from the collar for transporting the dish.
Claims8
A collapsible dish assembly being configured to be worn on a collar of an animal thereby facilitating the animal to be watered at a remote location, said assembly comprising:
- a dish having a plurality of collapsible sections, said dish being positionable in a flattened position, said dish being positionable in an expanded position wherein said dish is configured to contain water;
- and
- a coupler being coupled to said dish, said coupler engaging a collar on an animal when said dish is in said collapsed position wherein said dish is configured to be suspended from the collar for transporting said dish.
A collapsible dish assembly being configured to be worn on a collar of an animal thereby facilitating the animal to be watered at a remote location, said assembly comprising:
- a dish having a plurality of collapsible sections, said dish being positionable in a flattened position, said dish being positionable in an expanded position wherein said dish is configured to contain water, said dish having a basal wall and an outer wall extending upwardly therefrom, said basal wall having a perimeter edge, said perimeter edge being continuously arcuate about a center point of said basal wall such that said basal wall forms a disk, said outer wall being coextensive with said perimeter edge, said outer wall having a distal edge with respect to said basal wall, said outer wall having a plurality of fold lines, each of said fold lines extending around an entire circumference of said outer wall, said fold lines being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said basal wall and said distal edge of said outer wall to define said plurality of collapsible sections, said outer wall being collapsed at each of said fold lines having said distal edge being aligned with a top surface of said basal wall, said outer wall being expandable at each of said fold lines having said distal edge being spaced from said top surface of said basal wall, said outer wall angling outwardly from said perimeter edge of said basal wall such that said distal edge of said outer wall forms a circle having a circumference being greater than a circumference of said basal wall;
- a lip being coupled to and extending laterally away from said outer wall, said lip being coextensive with said distal edge of said outer wall;
- an engagement extending away from said lip;
- and
- a coupler engaging said engagement such that said coupler is coupled to said dish, said coupler engaging a collar on an animal when said dish is in said collapsed position wherein said dish is configured to be suspended from the collar for transporting said dish, said coupler having a gate being positionable between an open position and a closed position, said coupler being extendable through said engagement when said gate is in said open position, said coupler being retained on said engagement when said gate is in said closed position.
