Abstract: A container for holding edible material is bowl-shaped and capable of maintaining the edible material held therein while an animal is consuming such edible material. Simply stated, in the preferred embodiment, the bowl resembles a cereal bowl bottom with an inverted cereal bowl top; with the top having a central opening. The container includes an inward and upwardly extending, smooth walled circular access aperture which assists an animal in consuming edible material by directing such edible material into a mouth and onto the tongue of the animal while preventing ears of the animal from coming into contact with the food in the container and ensuring food does not accidentally escape the bowl while the animal is licking the inside of the cavity. The container also includes a base that maintains the container in a stable and stationary position.

Abstract: An article of jewelry comprises a thin chain necklace surrounding the neck of the wearer. A simple mechanical closure or clasp allows the wearer to don and remove the necklace in a conventional manner. At the bottom of the front of the necklace is a pendant anchor which holds a suspended pendant and, at the same time, the pendant anchor and the pendant, minimize rotation of the necklace and its mechanical closure or clasp to remain behind the neck of the wearer. The pendant anchor is no more than the geometrical thickness of the necklace at its point of attachment and is integrally secured to the descending ends of the front of the neck segments. Preferably, the pendant anchor is in the shape of an “O,” a “W,” a “V,” or a “U.” In some embodiments the pendant anchor is provided with protrusions for further maintaining the suspended pendant on the pendant anchor. In some embodiments, the pendant anchor is welded by small “o” rings to the end links of the chain of the necklace.
