| 20120017839 | WATERING DEVICE FOR ANIMALS - One embodiment of the present disclosure may take the form of a watering device for animals with continuously flowing water to attract the attention of the animal. To create flowing water, a water screw device may be utilized within the watering device to move water from a lower bowl of the device to an upper bowl. The water screw may be configured such that the electrical components of the water screw remain separated from the water of the watering dish to remove the possibility of electrocution of the water. Rather, only the mechanical components of the water screw device may contact the water of the watering device while the electrical motor of the water screw remains safely out of the water. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110297096 | LITTER BOX WITH REMOVABLE FILTER HOUSING - A litter box for an animal. The litter box includes a base portion, a cover portion operably connected to the base portion and a removable housing operably connected to one of the cover portion and the base portion. The base portion includes a floor and a plurality of walls extending in an upward direction from the floor. The cover portion includes a ceiling and a plurality of walls extending in a downward direction from the ceiling. The housing is configured to receive an operating element. Also, one of the cover portion and the base portion is configured to receive the removable housing. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110247565 | ANIMAL BOWL WITH SPILL-RESISTANT RIM - Pet waterers and feeders are provided that have a spill-resistant rim. In particular, in one embodiment, a device for dispensing at least one of food and liquid to an animal is provided. The device includes a bowl and a coupler positioned over a first opening of the bowl. The coupler is configured to receive a bottle. Additionally, the device includes a spill-resistant rim positioned over a second opening of the bowl. The spill-resistant rim extends inwardly into the second opening to prevent spilling of the bowl's contents. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110239950 | AUTOMATIC LIQUID DISPENSING DEVICE FOR ANIMALS - A liquid dispensing device includes a container removably mounted to a tray such that an orifice in the base of the container is below a fill line of the tray. A flat-shaped cap that includes an opening is removably attached to the orifice. A cap adjustment member forces the cap into a concave shape when the container is removably mounted to the tray. If the cap is in the flat shape, surface tension of the liquid in the container prevents the container from dispensing liquid. However, forcing the cap into the concave shape disrupts the surface tension of the liquid and allows the container to dispense the liquid if the liquid is not already above a fill line. These features allow the orifice to be wide enough for cleaning while the cap is narrow enough for operation without the cap causing surface tension that hinders operation. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110226187 | DISPENSER FOR EDIBLE PELLETS FOR ANIMALS - An egg-shaped dispenser for edible pellets for animals includes a housing with a first portion lockably attacked to a second portion defining a cavity, openings into the cavity, and an opening control member. The first portion and second portion may be lockably detached to allow for edible animal pellets to be placed within the cavity and/or to allow adjustment of the opening control member. A weight disposed within the dispenser is operable to keep the dispenser vertical unless force is exerted and return the dispenser vertical after the force is exerted. Edible animal pellets contained within the cavity may be dispensed via the openings when the dispenser is moved out of the vertical position. The openings may be of different sizes. The opening control member may be rotated between different positions to adjust the size of one or more openings and may be operable to lock in place in the different positions. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110203528 | PET HOUSING ENCLOSURE - A pet housing having selectively coupleable parts is provided. In particular, in some embodiments, a pet housing having a top portion, a middle portion and a bottom portion is provided. Each of the top, bottom and middle portions are selectively coupleable with each other portion. In particular, the top portion and bottom portion may each be coupled to the middle portion to form a pet housing. Additionally, the top portion and bottom portion may be coupled together to form a cavity in which the middle portion may be stored. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110132268 | Pet Watering Device with Filter - An animal watering system including a water tank, interior container and base for connecting to a bowl.
