  • Patent number: 7549395
    Abstract: A portable drink container includes a fluid vessel having an upwardly extending neck with an outlet opening. A removable cap has a central aperture and a cavity that engages the vessel neck. A drinking bowl includes a bottom wall with a central opening defined by an internal edge of the bottom wall. A lower peripheral channel of the cap slidingly receives the bottom wall edge to connect the cap and the drink bowl, whereby the cap extends through the central opening of the bowl. A flexible conduit is positioned within the vessel and extends the cap and the central opening of the drink bowl. The conduit defines a passageway for fluid to travel from the vessel into the drink bowl. An elastomeric plug may be secured within the cap to stabilize the conduit. The pet owner applies a compressive force on the vessel to increase the hydrostatic pressure thereby forcing liquid through the conduit and into the drink bowl.
