  • Patent number: 11840374
    Abstract: Various implementations include a container system that includes a first and second bowl. The first bowl has a resilient wall that is urgable radially outwardly from a resting position to an expanded position. The edge of the resilient wall spaced apart from a first bowl base has a resting perimeter length and an expanded perimeter length. A rigid wall of the second bowl has a first edge spaced apart from a second bowl base and a second edge opposite the rigid wall first edge each have a perimeter length. The perimeter lengths of the rigid wall are both greater than or equal to the resting perimeter length and are less than or equal to the expanded perimeter length. A groove is defined by the resilient wall and/or rigid wall. A protrusion extends along the other of the rigid wall and/or resilient wall. The protrusion is engageable within the groove.

  • Patent number: 11788345
    Abstract: Various implementations include an animal kennel door system. The system includes a door frame and a door. The door frame includes a frame body and one or more connecting flanges. The frame body defines a frame opening, and each of the one or more connecting flanges extends from the frame body away from the frame opening. The one or more connecting flanges has at least one coupling surface. The coupling surface has at least a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion. The door is hingedly coupled to a portion of the frame body. A portion of the first and second flange coupling portions each lie in a different plane, and the planes are transverse to each other.

  • Publication number: 20220136277
    Abstract: Various implementations include a tent system that includes a cover and base. The cover includes a cover frame and a canopy. The cover frame includes two or more cover frame members that are removably couplable to each other. The canopy is couplable to, and extendable between, the cover frame. The base includes three or more legs, a base frame, one or more base hubs, and a base support. The base frame includes two or more base frame members. The legs are removably couplable to the base hubs. Each of the base frame members are removably couplable to each other and/or to one or more base hubs. The base support is couplable to the base frame such that the base support is extendable between base frame members. The cover frame members are removably couplable to the base hubs such that a chamber is defined by the canopy and the base support.
