Combination canteen and flying disk

Abstract

The invention includes a container secured to a canteen body forming a bowl, with the container being selectively movable between a position in which water will flow and another position in which water will not flow from the container. Moving the container thereby allows water to fill the attached bowl for consumption by a pet. In one example of the invention, an additional dish is attached to the main dish body, with the additional dish being removable and useful as a flying disk.

1 . A canteen for delivering a fluid to an animal, comprising:
 a container configured to hold the fluid;   a canteen body having a recessed region configured to receive and hold fluid transferred from the container, the container being pivotally connected to the canteen body to enable the container to be pivoted to a first position in which the container is at least partially nested within the recessed region, a second position in which the container is not nested within the recessed region and water flows from the container to the recessed region, and a third position in which the container is not nested within the recessed region and water is blocked from flowing from the container to the recessed region; and   a removable dish secured to the canteen.   
   
   
       2 . The canteen of  claim 1 , wherein the third position further comprises an orientation in which the container forms an angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to the canteen body. 
   
   
       3 . The canteen of  claim 1 , further comprising a valve pivotally connected to the container, the valve having a first channel for communicating water flow out of the container and a second channel for communicating air flow into the container. 
   
   
       4 . The canteen of  claim 3 , further comprising a cap secured to the container, the container having a third channel and a fourth channel whereby when the first channel is aligned with the third channel and the second channel is aligned with the fourth channel water is able to flow out of the container and air is able to flow into the container. 
   
   
       5 . The canteen of  claim 3 , wherein the valve is mounted to the canteen body, the valve further comprising a stem extending from the first channel into a lower portion of the recessed region. 
   
   
       6 . The canteen of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle secured to the canteen body. 
   
   
       7 . The canteen of  claim 1 , wherein the dish is configured for use as a flying disk when in an inverted position. 
   
   
       8 . The canteen of  claim 1 , wherein the dish is secured to a bottom surface of the canteen body. 
   
   
       9 . The canteen of  claim 1 , wherein the dish further comprises a plurality of feet. 
   
   
       10 . The canteen of  claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a neck terminating at a mouth, the container further having a perimeter the perimeter of the container being substantially adjacent a perimeter of the recessed region. 
   
   
       11 . The canteen of  claim 1 , wherein the canteen body further has a rim and the container further comprises a neck terminating at a mouth, the container having a first side, a second side, and a bottom opposite the neck, the first side and second side each lying adjacent the rim, the bottom being offset from the rim to accommodate a hand of a user to facilitate pivoting of the container. 
   
   
       12 . The canteen of  claim 1 , further comprising a cap secured to the container, the cap further comprising a first surface to restrict movement of the container away from the second position, the cap further comprising a second surface to restrict movement of the container away from the third position. 
   
   
       13 . The canteen of  claim 1 , further comprising a strap secured to the canteen. 
   
   
       14 . The canteen of  claim 1 , further comprising a valve pivotally connected to the container, the valve having a first channel for communicating water flow out of the container and a second channel for communicating air flow into the container, the valve being mounted to the canteen body and further comprising a stem extending from the first channel into the recessed region, the canteen further comprising a shoulder on the canteen body abutting the stem to restrict pivotal movement of the valve.
