FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

This disclosure relates generally to interior wall protection device and, more particularly, to a method, a device, and/or a system of a wall-mounted pet accessory to prevent liquid and residue accumulation behind a feeding container.

BACKGROUND

A dog is a domesticated animal bred over centuries from a wolf (e.g., a wild carnivorous mammal living and hunting in packs). The dog may live inside a home of an owner (e.g., a person, a family) and serve as a loyal companion to the owner. The dog may be bred and sold in a variety of sizes and shapes based on the preference of the owner. As a result, the dog may not be able to survive in a wilderness because its adaptations may not match natural selection. Specifically, the dog may be bred to have traits that are desired by the owner (e.g., long hair, long snout, short snout, short legs, long legs, etc.), but which would otherwise not enable the dog to survive in the wilderness because those traits may not lead to self-sufficiency in hunting prey, protecting against diseases and predators, and/or finding shelter.

For example, a snout of the dog may include a projecting nose and a mouth that is derived from the wolf. However, unlike the wolf, an anatomy of the snout of the dog may not be ideally suited for survival. An inefficient mouth size, tongue shape, and/or leg height of the dog may lead to some food and water particles not entering a stomach cavity of the dog, but rather exiting outward onto a floor and/or a wall in the home when the dog is attempting to consume foods or liquids from a feeding tray (e.g., a water bowl, a food bowl, etc). This can lead to unsightly smells, odor, and stains caused on the wall of the home when the feeding tray is placed next to the wall of the home. The home may lose value because the mold formed within the home may lead to structural damage. In addition, food and water particles not being wiped from the wall of the home may lead to long-term odors which may be difficult to eliminate. Over time, bacteria and mold may form in the home, which can be deleterious to the health of the owner, and possibly lead to allergies in the owner that may be difficult to resolve. In extreme circumstances, black mold may form in the home, which can even lead to death of the owner.

SUMMARY

Disclosed are a method, a device, and/or a system of a wall-mounted pet accessory to prevent liquid and residue accumulation behind a feeding container.

In one aspect, a pet accessory includes a rectangular surface, a first double-headed pin, and a second double-headed pin. The rectangular surface may be molded from silicone material for use having a width that is wider than a height. A first hole is formed on an upper-left corner of an upper surface of the rectangular surface along the width of a left side of the pet accessory and a second hole is formed on an upper-right corner of the upper surface of the rectangular surface along the width of a right side of the pet accessory. The first double-headed pin includes a lower circular base portion, an upper circular base portion, a cylindrical spacer, and a long cylindrical shaft pin.

The lower circular base portion of the first double-headed pin is separated from its upper circular base portion by approximately half the width of the upper circular base portion. The cylindrical spacer is fixed in place centrally positioned between the lower and upper circular base portions of the first double-headed pin resulting in the creation of a first indentation area. The lower circular base portion of the first double-headed pin having the long cylindrical shaft pin is used to insert in a vertical surface.

The second double-headed pin includes the lower circular base portion, the upper circular base portion, the cylindrical spacer, and the long cylindrical shaft pin. The lower circular base portion of the second double-headed pin is separated from its upper circular base portion by approximately half the width of the upper circular base portion. The cylindrical spacer is fixed in place centrally positioned between the lower and upper circular base portions of the first double-headed pin resulting in the creation of a second indentation area. The lower circular base portion of the second double-headed pin having the long cylindrical shaft pin is used to insert in the vertical surface.

The pet accessory may be mounted on a wall of a home and washable in a dishwasher. The pet accessory may prevent liquid and/or residue accumulation behind a feeding container in the home. The pet accessory may be designed for a domesticated canine animal such that when the domestic canine animal feeds itself from the feeding container placed immediately in front of the pet accessory which is perpendicularly hung on a vertical surface, the pet accessory may capture splattered a food and/or a liquid which inadvertently exits the feeding container when the domesticated canine animal is accessing the food and/or the liquid from the feeding container.

The first double-headed pin may be penetrable into the vertical surface through the long cylindrical shaft pin of the first double-headed pin that extends from the lower circular base portion of the first double-headed pin. The lower circular base portion of the first double-headed pin may flush against the vertical surface when the long cylindrical shaft pin is fully inserted into the vertical surface, such that the cylindrical spacer and/or the upper circular base portion of the first double-headed pin protrudes from the surface of the wall.

The second double-headed pin may be penetrable into the vertical surface through the long cylindrical shaft pin of the second double-headed pin that extends from the lower circular base portion of the second double-headed pin. The lower circular base portion of the second double-headed pin may flush against the vertical surface when the long cylindrical shaft pin is fully inserted into the vertical surface, such that the cylindrical spacer and/or the upper circular base portion of the second double-headed pin protrudes from the surface of the wall. The first hole of the rectangular surface may be slightly larger in area than the first upper circular base portion, such that the rectangular surface can be placed on the cylinder spacer between the lower circular base portion and the upper circular base portion of the first double-headed pin.

The second hole of the rectangular surface may be slightly larger in area than the second upper circular base portion, such that the rectangular surface can be placed on the cylinder spacer between the lower circular base portion and the upper circular base portion of the second double-headed pin. The first indentation area created by the cylindrical spacer of the first double-headed pin may allow for secure attachment of the rectangular surface to the first double-headed pin preventing accidental dislodging and/or detachment. The second indentation area created by the cylindrical spacer of the second double-headed pin may allow for secure attachment of the rectangular surface to the second double-headed pin ensuring stability and/or preventing movement during use.

The upper circular base portion128may be the topmost disc-shaped support segment of the first double-headed pin124and/or the second double-headed pin136. The upper circular base portion128may help the first double-headed pin124and/or the second double-headed pin136to securely hold the rectangular surface104in its position after installation onto vertical surface202. The upper circular base portion128may prevent dislocation and/or accidental removal of the rectangular surface104from its position.

The cylindrical spacer130may be a barrel-shaped segment of the first double-headed pin124and/or the second double-headed pin136created between the lower circular base portion126and the upper circular base portion128. The cylindrical spacer130may create a specific gap and/or a distance between the lower circular base portion126and the upper circular base portion128of the first double-headed pin124and/or the second double-headed pin136such that the rectangular surface104is placed on the cylindrical spacer130to hang it on the vertical surface202.

The puncturing pin132of the first double-headed pin124and/or the second double-headed pin136may be a thin piece of metal with a sharp point at one end and a round head forming the lower circular base portion126at the other end. The puncturing pin132may penetrate into the vertical surface202to create a small hole in the vertical surface202. The first double-headed pin124and/or the second double-headed pin136may be inserted in the small hole created in the vertical surface202by the puncturing pin132.

The first indentation area134may be a deep recess and/or a notch created in the first double-headed pin124between the lower circular base portion126and the upper circular base portion128. The first indentation area134may be used to hang the rectangular surface104by inserting the first double-headed pin124in the first hole110and positioning the first hole110in the recess formed by the first indentation area134of the first double-headed pin124.

The second indentation area138may be a deep recess and/or a notch created in the second double-headed pin136between the lower circular base portion126and the upper circular base portion128. The second indentation area138may be used to hang the rectangular surface104by inserting the second double-headed pin136in the second hole118and positioning the second hole118in the recess formed by the second indentation area138of the second double-headed pin136.

FIG.2is another conceptual view350of the pet accessory102ofFIG.1Aillustrating the installation method of the pet accessory102, according to one embodiment. As shown in “D” ofFIG.2, the rectangular surface104may be installed in its position onto a wall and/or a vertical surface202by hanging it behind a feeding tray206using the first double-headed pin124and the second double-headed pin136for a domesticated canine animal (e.g., a dog208). The rectangular surface104may capture the food and liquid splatter306accidentally exiting the food bowl204while the dog208is consuming food and/or liquid from the food bowl204of the feeding tray206.

In another embodiment, the rectangular surface104may be installed at varying heights from the floor and/or the ground behind the feeding tray206and/or the food bowl204depending on the height and/or size of the dog. For example, the rectangular surface104may be installed directly above the floor if the food bowl204is kept on the floor so that the rectangular surface104may capture the food and liquid splatter306accidentally exiting the food bowl204while the dog208is consuming food and/or liquid from the food bowl204. Alternatively, the feeding tray206may be of varying height depending on the size of the dog, e.g., small, medium, and/or large. Accordingly, the rectangular surface104may be installed directly above the floor for a small-sized dog such that the rectangular surface104captures the food splatter from the food bowl204placed directly on the floor. Correspondingly, the rectangular surface104may be installed at varying heights from the floor and/or the ground behind the feeding tray206and/or the food bowl204depending on the height and/or size of the dog in elevated and/or low positions.

Sectional view C-C shown in “E” ofFIG.2, illustrates the exposed cut surface of the rectangular surface104when installed in the hanging position onto the vertical surface202as indicated by section line C-C shown in “D” ofFIG.2. As shown in the sectional view C-C, the lower circular base portion126of the first double-headed pin124remains flush with the vertical surface202and the rectangular surface104is positioned in the first indentation area134formed between the lower circular base portion126and the upper circular base portion128such that it does not dislocate from its position when in use. The upper circular base portion128and the first indentation area134may remain projected from the exterior plane of the vertical surface202such that the rectangular surface104is installed in its position using the first double-headed pin124. The rectangular surface104may be hung in the second indentation area138by inserting the second double-headed pin136in the second hole118and positioning the second hole118in the recess formed by the second indentation area138of the second double-headed pin136analogous to the first indentation area134.

FIG.3is an implementation view350of the pet accessory102ofFIG.1Aillustrating the removal and washing of the pet accessory102using a dishwasher machine304, according to one embodiment.

As shown in “F” ofFIG.3, the rectangular surface104may be uninstalled from its position by removing the first hole110and the second hole118of the rectangular surface104from the first double-headed pin124and the second double-headed pin136. The rectangular surface104may be placed in a dishwasher machine304to wash out the food and liquid splatter306accumulated on the rectangular surface104. Thus, the rectangular surface104may be easily cleaned using the dishwasher machine304and further help protect the vertical surface202from getting stained and/or forming unsightly patches on the wall.

Alternatively, the rectangular surface104may be cleaned in its installed position by wiping out the food and liquid splatter306accumulated on the rectangular surface104. The nonstick silicone material forming the rectangular surface104may make it easy to wipe clean and dishwasher safe.

An example embodiment will now be described. Jane Doe and her family may have a pet dog at home. Jane's family may treat their dog with love and care. In turn, her pet dog may offer her family companionship, protection, and a sense of joy when they are around. Jane's family may have provided her pet dog with a feeding tray placed beside an interior wall of her entrance hall.

Jane's pet dog may remain very playful and active the whole day while with the family. Her mealtime may be its best time when it will consume its food excitedly and in a hurried manner. Jane's pet dog may have an inefficient mouth size and a long tongue. While consuming food from the feeding tray, the inefficient mouth size and long tongue of the pet dog may lead to food and water particles falling off from the mouth and exiting outward onto a floor and/or a wall instead. This may lead to unsightly smells, odor, and stains caused on the wall of her entrance hall. Jane and her family may have to wipe the wall clean a number of times before the stains get dry and form unsightly patches.

Jane's family may have brought the new pet accessory102as described in various embodiments ofFIGS.1-3. The pet accessory102described in various embodiments ofFIGS.1-3may prevent liquid and/or residue accumulation behind a feeding container (e.g., food bowl204) in the interior wall of her entrance hall of their home.
