US Patent:
8468977, Jun 25, 2013
Filed:
May 16, 2011
Appl. No.:

Inventors:
Joseph P. Markham - Golden CO, US
Assignee:
The Kong Company, LLC - Golden CO
International Classification:

US Classification:
119709, 446184
Abstract:
A pet toy includes a noise making feature that can be selectively activated and deactivated by the pet owner. The noise making feature is in the form of a squeaker incorporated within the pet toy by an internal holding pocket that is integrally molded when the pet toy is manufactured.

Pet Food Bowl With Integral Protrusion For Preventing Aspiration Of Food

US Patent:
7895975, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Dec 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/612684
Inventors:
Joseph P. Markham - Golden CO, US
Assignee:
The Kong Company, LLC - Golden CO
International Classification:
A01K 1/10, A01K 5/00, A01K 5/01, A01K 39/00
US Classification:
119 615
Abstract:
A pet food bowl is provided with an integral protrusion that helps to prevent inadvertent aspiration of food by the animal. Particularly for dogs, some feeding behaviors are characterized by swallowing large amounts of food. The protrusion in the bowl separates the food into a peripheral channel within the bowl, and the dog therefore cannot simultaneously secure large amounts of food into its mouth. The protrusion is centrally oriented and extends from the base of the bowl, thereby causing the food to be uniformly distributed within the channel.
