Abstract
A pet bowl is provided with a non-skid material attached to an outer wall and having improved frictional and drag properties. The non-skid material is molded over a portion of the bottom of the bowl. The non-skid material has components that extend downwardly along the outer wall and outwardly from the outer wall to contact a ground surface, with a gap defined along a contact surface between the downwardly extending and outwardly extending components of the material. The outwardly extending component of the non-skid material is preferably longer than the downwardly extending component for increased drag capabilities and to further inhibit movement of said pet bowl along a ground surface.
Claims28
A non-skid pet bowl for placement on a surface, comprising:
- a) an injection molded bowl made from a first material having an outer wall, an inner wall and a bottom, and
- b) a non-skid material differing from said first material and integrally injection molded over a portion of said bottom of said injection molded bowl.
A non-skid pet bowl for placement on a surface, comprising:
- a) an injection molded bowl having an outer wall, an inner wall and a bottom, and
- b) a non-skid material integrally injection molded over a portion of said bottom of said injection molded bowl,
- c) wherein a first component of said non-skid material extends outwardly from said outer wall so as to form a gap between said first component of said non-skid material and a surface contacting end of said outer wall.
A non-skid pet bowl for placement on a surface, comprising:
- a) an injection molded bowl made from a first material having an inner wall and an outer wall terminating in a rim, and
- b) a non-skid material differing from said first material and injection molded over said rim of said bowl, thereby providing the bowl with an overmolded non-skid rim.
A non-skid pet bowl for placement on a surface, comprising:
- a) an injection molded bowl having an inner wall and an outer wall terminating in a rim, and
- b) a non-skid material injection molded over said rim of said bowl, thereby providing the bowl with an overmolded non-skid rim,
- c) wherein said inner wall further comprises a bottom wall extending along a first plane, and said non-skid material extends along said outer wall above said first plane.
A non-skid pet bowl for placement on a surface, comprising:
- a) an injection molded bowl having an inner wall and an outer wall terminating in a rim, and
- b) a non-skid material injection molded over said rim of said bowl, thereby providing the bowl with an overmolded non-skid rim,
- c) wherein said non-skid material further comprises a first component extending along said outer wall and a second component extending outwardly from said outer wall and laterally spaced from said first component, and
- d) wherein said second component of said non-skid material is movable with respect to said first component.
A non-skid pet bowl for placement on a surface, comprising:
- a) an injection molded bowl having an inner wall and an outer wall terminating in a rim, and
- b) a non-skid material injection molded over said rim of said bowl, thereby providing the bowl with an overmolded non-skid rim,
- c) wherein said non-skid material further comprises a first component extending along said outer wall and a second component extending outwardly from said outer wall and laterally spaced from said first component, and
- d) further comprising an air gap formed between said first and second components of said non-skid material.
A method of fabricating a non-skid pet bowl, comprising the steps of:
- a) injection molding a bowl having a bottom formed of a first material, and
- b) injection molding a layer of non-skid material differing from said first material over a portion of said bottom of said bowl.
A non-skid pet bowl for placement on a surface, comprising:
- a) an injection molded bowl having an outer wall, an inner wall and a bottom, and
- b) a non-skid material integrally injection molded over a portion of said bottom of said injection molded bowl,
- c) wherein said portion of said bottom further comprises a rim portion, and
- d) wherein said non-skid material is integrally injection molded over said rim portion only.
A method of fabricating a non-skid pet bowl, comprising the steps of:
- a) injection molding a bowl having a bottom formed of a first material, and
- b) injection molding a layer of non-skid material over a portion of said bottom of said bowl,
- c) wherein said portion of said bottom further comprises a rim portion, and
- d) further comprising the step of injection molding a layer of non-skid material over only said rim portion.
