<p>The self-closable food container assembly for an animal with a muzzle, has a food container provided with a top opening properly sized to give the animal access to food contained in the food container. The food container assembly further has a lid tiltably mounted about a pivot axis onto the food container. The lid is movable between a closed position where the lid covers the top opening of the food container, and an open position where the lid uncovers the top opening of the food container. The lid has a front edge that is generally parallel to the pivot axis and is embossed to define an upwardly projecting cavity into which the animal may insert its muzzle to lift the lid and thereby have access to the food contained in the food container. The food container assembly further has a mechanism for returning the lid to its closed position as soon as the animal removes its muzzle from under the lid. The food container has a front upper edge that is generally parallel to the pivot axis and is embossed to define a rearwardly projecting complementary cavity contiguous to the upwardly projecting cavity of the lid when the lid is in its closed position.</p> |
