Bowl

Abstract

A bowl may be configured to include an outer body that has a u-shaped cross section, and the outer body may have a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface, the bottom also including a circular groove around a circumference of the bottom and a bracket within the circular groove, wherein a foot is inserted within the groove, and wherein the foot is secured to the circular groove by the bracket. The bowl may include an inner body, wherein the inner body is concave and dome-shaped. The inner body may hold a liquid or solid, and the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body. An internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body, and the internal cavity is insulative. The connection formed by the upper edge of the outer body and the inner body may be seamless.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bowl comprising:
 an outer body of a bowl, the outer body having a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface;   an inner body of the bowl, wherein the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body, wherein a connection formed by the upper edge of the outer body and a lip of the inner body is seamless, wherein the upper edge of the outer body is welded to the lip of the inner body; and   an internal cavity, wherein the internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body.   
     
     
         2 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein the internal cavity is insulative. 
     
     
         3 . The bowl of  claim 2 , wherein the internal cavity is a vacuum chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The bowl of  claim 2 , wherein the internal cavity further includes an insulating material. 
     
     
         5 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom comprises a circular foot. 
     
     
         6 . The bowl of  claim 5 , wherein the foot comprises a rubber or other polymer. 
     
     
         7 . The bowl of  claim 5 , wherein the foot is secured to the bottom by friction fit. 
     
     
         8 . The bowl of  claim 5 , wherein the foot is secured to the bottom by an adhesive. 
     
     
         9 . The bowl of  claim 5 , wherein the foot is secured to the bottom by a mechanical device. 
     
     
         10 . The bowl of  claim 5 , wherein the foot is recessed into the bottom. 
     
     
         11 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein the outer body is stainless steel, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, titanium, a titanium alloy, or a polymer, and wherein the inner body is stainless steel, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, titanium, a titanium alloy, or a polymer. 
     
     
         12 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein the outer body or the inner body further comprises a sound deadening material. 
     
     
         13 . The bowl of  claim 1 , wherein the outer body has a u-shaped cross section and wherein the inner body is concave and dome-shaped. 
     
     
         14 . The bowl of  claim 1 , further comprising a powder coating. 
     
     
         15 . A method of forming a bowl comprising:
 forming an outer body of a bowl, the outer body having a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface;   forming an inner body of the bowl, wherein the inner body is concave and dome-shaped, the inner body configured to hold a liquid or solid, wherein the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body, wherein the inner body further comprises a lip, wherein the inner body lip is welded to an upper edge of the outer body, wherein a seamless connection is formed between the upper edge of the outer body and the inner body lip; and   forming an internal cavity, wherein the internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the outer body is stainless steel, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, titanium, a titanium alloy, or a polymer, and wherein the inner body is stainless steel, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, titanium, a titanium alloy, or a polymer. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the internal cavity is insulative, and wherein the internal cavity is a vacuum chamber. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the bottom comprises a circular foot, and wherein the foot comprises a rubber or other polymer. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the foot is secured to the bottom by an adhesive, friction fit, a mechanical device, or combination thereof. 
     
     
         20 . A bowl comprising:
 an outer body of a bowl, wherein the outer body has a u-shaped cross section, the outer body having a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface wherein the bottom comprises a circular foot and wherein the foot is a rubber or other polymer;   an inner body of the bowl, wherein the inner body is concave and dome-shaped, the inner body configured to hold a liquid or solid, wherein the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body, wherein a connection formed by the upper edge of the outer body and a lip of the inner body is seamless, wherein the upper edge of the outer body is welded to the lip of the inner body; and   an internal cavity, wherein the internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body.
