Abstract
An apparatus for restraining, feeding, and watering an animal is provided. The apparatus comprises a bowl assembly, a rod, a ring element, and a ground securing element. The bowl assembly comprises a base component connected to a feeder component comprising a bowl for containing food and water. The animal may be chained or leashed to the ring element which freely pivots around the rod between the bowl assembly and the ground stabilizing element when the rod is secured within the ground. The ground stabilizing element help the apparatus resist lateral forces that occur when the animal pulls on the leash, thereby keeping the rod upright.
Claims20
An apparatus for feeding and restraining an animal comprising:
- a bowl assembly comprising:
- a base component comprising a closed bottom extending upward into a perimeter sidewall terminating in a top rim;
- wherein the closed bottom comprises a center shaft extending upward out of the bottom;
- and
- a feeder component comprising a bottom rim extending upward into an annular sidewall encompassing a bowl bisected with a divider configured to receive the center shaft of the base component, wherein the bottom rim of the feeder component abuts the top rim of the base component;
- and
- a rod comprising a first end for engaging the ground and a second end for engaging the center shaft of the base component;
- and
- a ring element freely pivotable around the rod.
A apparatus for feeding and restraining an animal comprising:
- a bowl assembly comprising:
- a base component comprising a planar closed bottom extending upward into a perimeter sidewall terminating in a top rim;
- wherein the planar closed bottom comprises a center shaft extending upward out of the bottom;
- and
- a feeder component comprising a bottom rim extending upward into an annular sidewall encompassing a two-well bowl bisected by an integrated divider configured to receive the center shaft of the base component, wherein the bottom rim of the feeder component abuts the top rim of the base component;
- and
- a rod comprising a first end for engaging the ground and a second end for engaging the center shaft of the base component;
- and
- a ring element freely pivotable around the rod;
- and
- a ground stabilizing element comprising a planar disc, a plurality of fins extending out of the disc terminating in a vertex, and a center bore, wherein the second end of the rod runs through the center bore.
