Abstract

A spill resistant bowl is provided having a lip to reduce a likelihood of contents spilling over a rim of the bowl. The bowl may include a base, wall, rim, lip, and optionally one or more handles. The lip may cover an opening at the top of the bowl to reduce a likelihood of spillage.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A spill resistant bowl comprising:
 a base;   a wall extending upwardly from the base, the wall being substantially seamless;   a rim of the wall located at a distal end of the wall from the base, the rim forming a perimeter around an opening to an interior space of the bowl;   a lip attached to the rim and extending inwardly toward a center of the bowl, the lip covering at least a portion of the opening;   wherein the lip reduces a likelihood of spillage of contents held in the interior space.   
     
     
         2 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein at least part of the lip extends inwardly and upwardly approximately toward the center of the bowl. 
     
     
         3 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein at least part of the lip extends inwardly and downwardly toward the center of the bowl. 
     
     
         4 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein the lip comprises a first lip portion adjacent to the rim and a distal second lip portion, wherein the first lip portion extends from the rim upwardly, and wherein the second lip portion extends from the first lip portion downwardly. 
     
     
         5 . The bowl of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle. 
     
     
         6 . The bowl of  claim 5 , wherein the handle is approximately planar with the wall, the handle being defined via a recessed portion of the wall. 
     
     
         7 . The bowl of  claim 5 , wherein the handle extends outwardly from the wall. 
     
     
         8 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein the rim has a rim perimeter that is larger than a base perimeter of the base, and wherein the wall progressively widens from the base to the rim. 
     
     
         9 . A spill resistant bowl comprising:
 a base defined by a base perimeter;   a wall extending upwardly from the base;   a rim defined by a rim perimeter, the rim being located at a distal end of the wall from the base;   an opening to an interior space of the bowl substantially surrounded by the rim;   a lip comprising a first lip portion attached to the rim and a distal second lip portion, the first lip portion extending from the rim upwardly, and the second lip portion extending from the first lip portion downwardly;   wherein the lip covers at least a portion of the opening;   wherein the lip reduces a likelihood of spillage of contents held in the interior space.   
     
     
         10 . The bowl of  claim 9 , further comprising a handle. 
     
     
         11 . The bowl of  claim 10 , wherein the handle is approximately planar with the wall, the handle being defined via a recessed portion of the wall. 
     
     
         12 . The bowl of  claim 10 , wherein the handle extends outwardly from the wall. 
     
     
         13 . The bowl of  claim 9 , wherein the rim perimeter is larger than the base perimeter, and wherein the wall progressively widens from the base to the rim. 
     
     
         14 . A spill resistant bowl comprising:
 a base;   a wall extending upwardly from the base, the wall being substantially seamless;   a rim of the wall located at a distal end of the wall from the base, the rim forming a perimeter around an opening to an interior space of the bowl;   a lip attached to the rim and extending inwardly toward a center of the bowl, the lip covering at least a portion of the opening;   a handle;   wherein the lip reduces a likelihood of spillage of contents held in the interior space;   wherein the bowl is cleanable.   
     
     
         15 . The bowl of  claim 14 , wherein at least part of the lip extends inwardly and upwardly approximately toward the center of the bowl. 
     
     
         16 . The bowl of  claim 14 , wherein at least a part of the lip extends inwardly and downwardly toward the center of the bowl. 
     
     
         17 . The bowl of  claim 14 , wherein the lip comprises a first lip portion adjacent to the rim and a distal second lip portion, wherein the first lip portion extends from the rim upwardly, and wherein the second lip portion extends from the first lip portion downwardly. 
     
     
         18 . The bowl of  claim 14 , wherein the rim has a rim perimeter that is larger than a base perimeter of the base, and wherein the wall progressively widens from the base to the rim. 
     
     
         19 . The bowl of  claim 14 , wherein the handle is approximately planar with the wall, the handle being defined via a recessed portion of the wall. 
     
     
         20 . The bowl of  claim 14 , wherein the handle extends outwardly from the wall.
