## Abstract

An anti-slip bowl is described herein. A bowl can include a rigid first shell including a base and an outer wall continuously attached to the base, a rigid second shell including a base and an outer wall continuously attached to the base, wherein the base of the rigid second shell includes a number of non-continuous openings, and an anti-slip material positioned between a lower side of the base of the rigid first shell and an upper side of the base of the rigid second shell.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bowl, comprising:
a rigid first shell including a base and an outer wall continuously attached to the base;
a rigid second shell including a base and an outer wall continuously attached to the base, wherein the base of the rigid second shell includes a plurality of non-continuous concentric openings; and
an anti-slip material having the same radius as the base of the rigid first shell and positioned between a lower side of the base of the rigid first shell and an upper side of the base of the rigid second shell,
wherein the anti-slip material includes a plurality of non-continuous concentric protrusions, and wherein the plurality of non-continuous concentric protrusions protrude through the plurality of non-continuous concentric openings in the base of the rigid second shell.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the rigid first shell is a stainless steel material.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the rigid second shell is a plastic material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the anti-slip material is an elastomeric rubber material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein a diameter of the base of the rigid second shell is larger than a diameter of the base of the rigid first shell.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the outer wall of the rigid first shell and the outer wall of the rigid second shell share a same angle relative to the base of each respective rigid shell.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein a portion of the rigid first shell is positioned within the rigid second shell.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the plurality of non-continuous protrusions of the anti-slip material is the same amount as the plurality of non-continuous openings of the base of the rigid second shell.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

The bowl of claim 3, wherein the plurality of non-continuous protrusions are the same height.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the plurality of non-continuous protrusions of the anti-slip material include grooves.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein an upper edge of the outer wall of the rigid second shell includes a ledge extending away from the rigid first shell.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The bowl of claim 11, wherein an upper edge of the outer wall of the rigid first shell includes a lip that encircles the ledge of the rigid second shell securing the rigid second shell to the rigid first shell.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the base of the rigid second shell is larger than the base of the rigid first shell.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The bowl of claim 1, wherein the outer wall of the rigid first shell and the outer wall of the rigid second shell are adjacent.

### Claim 15

A method of manufacturing a bowl, comprising:
placing, on a base of a rigid second shell, an anti-slip material having a same radius as the base of the rigid second shell, wherein the base of the rigid shell includes a plurality of non-continuous openings, and wherein the rigid second shell includes a ledge located on the upper edge of an outer wall of the rigid second shell;
placing a rigid first shell within a rigid second shell; and
folding an upper edge of the rigid first shell around the ledge of the rigid second shell to form a lip securing the rigid second shell to the rigid first shell;
aligning a plurality of non-continuous protrusions located on the anti-slip material with the plurality of non-continuous openings located on the base of the rigid second shell; and
applying pressure in opposite directions to the rigid first shell and the rigid second shell so as to force the plurality of non-continuous protrusions on the anti-slip material to protrude through the plurality of non-continuous openings at the base of the rigid second shell.
