Abstract
An improved splash and spill-resistant container for holding a fluid for consumption by an animal is disclosed. The container forms a cavity with a top access aperture which defines an inverted channel. A partition divides the cavity into first and second chambers. The partition curves downward from the periphery substantially to the floor of the container and is provided with a flow aperture, thereby allowing fluid communication between the first and second chambers. A valve is also provided to release air from the second chamber. After filling the container with a volume of fluid, the container may be subjected to lateral jarring or inverted without spilling the fluid contained therein.
Claims20
A splash and spill-resistant container for holding a fluid for animal consumption, comprising:
- a base having a side wall defining a cavity for holding the fluid;
- an inverted frusto-conical partition mating in sealing engagement with said side wall of said base and dividing said cavity into first and second chambers, said partition having a flow aperture providing fluid communication between said first and second chambers;
- and
- a housing having an inverted channel and an aperture for accessing the fluid in said first chamber, said housing sealingly coupling with said base.
A splash and spill-resistant container for holding fluid for animal consumption, comprising:
- a base having a side wall defining a cavity for holding the fluid;
- a partition mating in sealing engagement with said side wall of said base and dividing said cavity into first and second chambers, said partition having a flow aperture providing fluid communication between said first and second chambers and a valve to permit air to escape from said second chamber;
- and
- a housing having an inverted channel an aperture for accessing the fluid in said first chamber, said housing sealingly coupling with said base.
A splash and spill-resistant container for holding fluid for animal consumption, comprising:
- a body having an upstanding side wall defining an interior chamber, said side wall terminating in an inverted channel forming a flange, said flange defining an access aperture;
- a frusto-conical partition mating with said upstanding side wall of said body, said partition dividing said interior chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber, each of said chambers being in fluid communication through a flow aperture in said partition.
