ABSTRACT:
A "spill-proof" bowl, particularly suitable for a child, for a dry, granular foodstuff to be eaten by hand, comprising a bowl having a hollow interior therein substantially covered over by a cover located on an open end of the bowl for substantially closing off the hollow interior. A tubular portion centrally located in the cover terminates with an inwardly curved edge at its lower extremity in a relatively small, open end for forming an open closure spaced in the hollow interior below the midpoint between the cover and the base to provide visual and selective access to the dry, granular foodstuff located in the hollow interior of the bowl when open. A portion of the tubular portion extends upwardly and terminates in an open, upper end spaced above the cover. A tubular passage depends downwardly through the tubular portion and communicates with the hollow interior of the bowl by means of the open closure means. A cap spaced above the bowl cover is removably located on the open, upper end, completely closing off the open closure and egress and access to the dry, granular foodstuff. The bowl, when suitably sized, can also be used by adults as a "spill-proof" bowl for foodstuff, and, in either event, the diameter of the tubular passage is just a little bit greater than the lateral dimension of the human hand for whom it was designed, the total opening to the hollow interior being otherwise no more than that necessary for hand access.
