<p>A pet bowl (10) having an interior dished portion (14) for receiving pet food, water or the like has a rather large suction cup (16) held centrally to the underside of the pet bowl for securing the bowl to a surface such as a floor. The suction cup underlies at least a major portion of the lateral extent of the dished portion of the bowl, and may be held removably to the pet bowl by a bracket (18). The surface of the suction cup preferably has upstanding portions to engage the undersurface of the bracket to depress the suction cup assuredly upon downward movement of the bowl. The bracket may have a keyed opening, and a knob (22) with an enlarged end extends upwardly from the suction cup and may be fitted within the keyed opening to hold the suction cup removably to the bracket. Further, a tab (30) may extend from the rim portion of the suction cup to be accessed through an opening in the sidewall of the pet bowl for enabling the rim of the suction cup to be lifted and release the suction cup from the floor. <IMAGE></p> |
