Abstract

The present invention provides a pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) to store and serve pet food. The storage apparatus ( 100 ) includes a container ( 10 ) having a bottom wall ( 12 ), a sidewall ( 14 ), and an opening ( 16 ) defining a hollow portion ( 15 ). An extruded portion ( 30 ) is radially extended internally from the sidewall ( 14 ). A first bowl ( 40 a ) is removably arranged on the extruded portion ( 30 ) of the sidewall ( 14 ). Further, a second bowl ( 40 b ) is removably arranged in a nested configuration over the first bowl ( 40 a ). A depressed cavity ( 44 b ) of the second bowl ( 40 b ) is used to store an accessory. The first bowl ( 40 a ) and the second bowl ( 40 b ) are removed from the container ( 10 ) to serve food or water to the pet. A lid ( 60 ) is provided to open or close the container ( 10 ).

Claims (22)

1. A pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) to store and serve pet food, the pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) comprising:

a container ( 10 ) having a bottom wall ( 12 ), a sidewall ( 14 ), and an opening ( 16 ) defining a hollow portion ( 15 ) to store pet essentials;

an extruded portion ( 30 ) radially extending internally from the sidewall ( 14 ) of the container ( 10 );

a first bowl ( 40 a ) removably arranged on the extruded portion ( 30 ) in such a way that an edge ( 45 a ) of the first bowl ( 40 a ) coaxially aligns with the extruded portion ( 30 ) to hold the first bowl ( 40 a ) thereon;

a second bowl ( 40 b ) removably arranged in a nested configuration over the first bowl ( 40 a ) in such a way that an edge ( 45 b ) of the second bowl ( 40 b ) coaxially aligns with the edge ( 45 a ) of the first bowl ( 40 a ), wherein the second bowl ( 40 b ) is adapted to store an accessory; and

a lid ( 60 ) removably attached to the container ( 10 ) to open or close the opening ( 16 ) of the container ( 10 );

wherein the container ( 10 ) has multiple vertically configured compartments below the first bowl ( 40 a ) and the second bowl ( 40 b ) to separately store the pet essentials, the multiple vertically configured compartments include a first vertical compartment ( 110 a ) to store water and a second vertical compartment ( 110 b ) to store pet food;

wherein the first vertical compartment ( 110 a ) and the second vertical compartment ( 110 b ) are having respective removable covers ( 115 a , 115 b ), and the first vertical compartment ( 110 a ) is having a secondary opening ( 105 ) to pour water into the second bowl ( 40 b ) without removing the first bowl ( 40 a ) from the container ( 10 ).

2. The pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the edges ( 45 a , 45 b ) of the first bowl ( 40 a ) and the second bowl ( 40 b ) extend radially outward from the corresponding bowls ( 40 a , 40 b ) such that the extruded portion ( 30 ) holds the first bowl ( 40 a ) and the second bowl ( 40 b ) coaxially.

3. The pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second bowl ( 40 b ) is adapted to store a dog leash ( 50 ).

4. The pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the extruded portion ( 30 ) is made of a rubber material to provide a leak-proof arrangement.

5. A pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) to store and serve pet food, the pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) comprising:

a container ( 10 ) having a bottom wall ( 12 ), a sidewall ( 14 ), and an opening ( 16 ) defining a hollow portion ( 15 ) to store pet essentials;

a first bowl ( 40 a ) removably arranged on the extruded portion ( 30 ) in such a way that an edge ( 45 a ) of the first bowl ( 40 a ) coaxially aligns with the extruded portion ( 30 ) to hold the first bowl ( 40 a ) thereon;

a second bowl ( 40 b ) removably arranged in a nested configuration over the first bowl ( 40 a ) in such a way that an edge ( 45 b ) of the second bowl ( 40 b ) coaxially aligns with the edge ( 45 a ) of the first bowl ( 40 a ), wherein the second bowl ( 40 b ) is adapted to store an accessory; and

a lid ( 60 ) removably attached to the container ( 10 ) to open or close the opening ( 16 ) of the container ( 10 );

wherein the container ( 10 ) has multiple horizontally configured compartments below the first bowl ( 40 a ) and the second bowl ( 40 b ) to separately store the pet essentials, the multiple horizontally configured compartments include a first horizontal compartment ( 210 a ) to store pet food and a second horizontal compartment ( 210 b ) to store water;

wherein the first horizontal compartment ( 210 a ) is having a removable cover ( 215 ), and the second horizontal compartment ( 210 b ) is having an inlet or outlet opening ( 205 ) to pour water into the second bowl ( 40 b ) without removing the first bowl ( 40 a ) from the container ( 10 ).

6. The pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the edges ( 45 a , 45 b ) of the first bowl ( 40 a ) and the second bowl ( 40 b ) extend radially outward from the corresponding bowls ( 40 a , 40 b ) such that the extruded portion ( 30 ) holds the first bowl ( 40 a ) and the second bowl ( 40 b ) coaxially.

7. The pet food storage apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second bowl ( 40 b ) is adapted to store a dog leash ( 50 ).
