DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1is a perspective view in which a pet bowl assistance bag according to an embodiment of the present invention is opened.FIG. 2is a perspective view in which a pet bowl assistance bag according to the embodiment of the present invention is closed.

Referring toFIG. 1, a pet bowl assistance bag100according to the embodiment may include: a rear support frame30formed in a rectangular shape having a predetermined size; a front support frame10extending from a lower portion of the rear support frame30and having a size corresponding to the rear support frame30; a folding portion40coupled to both side portions of the front support frame10and the rear support frame30, and folded such that the front support frame10is opened by a predetermined distance from the rear support frame30; and a bowl holder frame20having one end coupled to an upper portion of the front support frame10and an opposite end attached to an upper inner surface of the rear support frame30. The rear support frame30and the front support frame10may have rectangular shapes having mutually the same sizes and having four edges, and may be formed in a pocket shape in which at least one edge is connected to each other and the remaining edges are coupled to or separated from each other.

In order to configure the above shapes, teeth12and33, which are pathways through which a slide fastener (zipper)50moves, may be provided at both side portions and upper edges of the rear support frame30and the front support frame10. The zipper50may open or close the front support frame10with respect to the rear support frame30while moving from one lower ends of the rear support frame30and the front support frame10to the other lower ends thereof. Zippers50may be provided at the both lower sides of the rear support frame30and the front support frame10, respectively.

When the zipper50between the rear support frame30and the front support frame10is closed, a shape of a bag, such as a pouch, may be formed to provide a predetermined space therein.

One side of the bowl holder frame20may be coupled to an upper end edge portion of the front support frame10, and two through-holes22may be formed in an inner area of the bowl holder frame20to mount at least two bowls therein. One of the two bowls may contain feed and the other may contain water. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the bowl holder frame20may be configured to mount one or at least two bowls if necessary.

Sizes of the rear support frame30and the front support frame10are determined depending on a size of the bowl holder frame20. The drawings illustrate the case including two bowls.

In the embodiment, the bowl may have a cylindrical shape and be formed at an outer circumferential surface thereof with a step so as to be mounted and fixed to the through-hole22. In addition, the through-hole22has a step such that an upper diameter is greater than a lower diameter thereof. The through-hole22corresponds to the diameter corresponding to the lower portion of the outer circumferential surface of the bowl having the step, so that a lower portion of the bowl is inserted into the through-hole22. In addition, an upper portion of the bowl is supported on the upper surface of the through-hole22, so that the bowl may be stably fixed in a state in which the bowl is mounted on the through-hole22.

As described above, the bowl holder frame20may be formed with the through-hole22to which the bowl is mounted in a state where the bowl is inserted thereto. Instead, a configuration may be used such that an area corresponding to the through-hole22is formed as a groove having a predetermined diameter to allow the lower surface of the bowl to be mounted. The above example is advantageous in that a size of the bowl may vary since the size of the bowl may be selected depending on a type and a size of the pet.

In addition, an adhesive portion32may be provided on an upper surface of the rear support frame30, and an adjusting portion21may be formed at an opposite edge of the bowl holder frame20connected to the upper end edge of the front support frame10. The adjusting portion21may extend from the bowl holder frame20, and may be formed upward to have a predetermined width.

A hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro) scheme may be applied to the adjusting portion21and the adhesive portion32, in which the adjusting portion21may be formed as a hook area constituting the Velcro, and the adhesive portion32constituting the Velcro may be formed of loops to which the hook area is attached. In other words, the adjusting portion21is attached to the adhesive portion32provided on the upper surface of the rear support frame30so that a position thereof may be fixed.

As described above, when the pet bowl assistance bag is opened, the rear support frame30and the front support frame10may be opened by a predetermined distance to each other, and the bowl holder frame20coupled to the upper edge of the front support frame10may be attached and fixed to the upper area of the rear support frame30. In addition, the bowl may be mounted in the inner area of the bowl holder frame20.

When the bowl containing water and feed is mounted to the bowl holder frame20, a predetermined load is applied downward, so a high strength material may be used for the rear support frame30and the front support frame10to compensate for warpage caused by the load. In the embodiment, thermoplastic resin is used, and ABS resin may be used to minimize the warpage of the rear support frame30and the front support frame10due to weight of the bowl holder frame20.

FIG. 3is a perspective view showing an example of using the pet bowl assistance bag according to the embodiment of the present invention.FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b)are perspective views showing a configuration of adjusting a height of the bowl holder frame20in a state of opening the pet bowl assistance bag to reveal an inside thereof.

The bowl assistance bag according to the embodiment is provided with the bowl holder frame20extending from the upper edge of the front support frame10, in which the adjusting portion21having a predetermined width may be formed at the opposite edge of the bowl holder frame20.

When the bowl mounted inside the bowl holder frame20is required to be horizontally mounted, the adjusting portion21may be attached to the adhesive portion32by adjusting the position of the adjusting portion21as shown inFIG. 3 (a), so that an angle of the bowl holder frame20may be horizontally fixed.

In addition, as shown inFIG. 3(b), when the position of the adjusting portion21is adjusted and attached to the adhesive portion32, the bowl holder frame20may be raised upward and fixed by a predetermined angle based on the upper edge of the front support frame10.

In other words, according to the embodiment, the fixed angle of the bowl may be changed by adjusting the attached position of the adjusting portion21. Thus, according to the embodiment, options can be provided to enable a pet to conveniently eat the food and water contained in the bowl. For example, at an initial timing of supplying the pet with the food and water, the position of the adjusting portion21is adjusted such that the bowl holder frame20is horizontal. After the pet eats some food and water, the position of the adjusting portion21may be adjusted such that the bowl holder frame20has a predetermined angle, the pet can be fed more easily. Thus, the feeding action may be conveniently performed from a viewpoint of the pet. Further, from a viewpoint of the owner, because an amount of feed that escapes to the outside is reduced due to the convenience of the feeding action of the pet, additional effects of reducing the inconvenience of cleaning up surroundings can also be achieved.

FIG. 3(c)is a perspective view showing an inner appearance of the pet bowl assistance bag when the pet bowl assistance bag is not used. As shown inFIG. 3(c), the bowl holder frame20extending from the upper edge of the front support frame10may be positioned to come into contact with an inner surface of the front support frame10. In the above state, a periphery between the front support frame10and the rear support frame30may be sealed through the zipper. In other words, according to the embodiment, the bowl can be fixed through a frame attached to the inside of the bag without preparing for a separate bowl holder, thereby reducing the possibility of missing and increasing the portability.FIG. 4is a perspective view showing an example of using the pet bowl assistance bag according to another embodiment of the present invention.
