| 20090217881 | Pet water cooler - A water container for pets or other animals which has a container or reservoir for holding a supply of water. The container is secured to a bowl or tray into which the reservoir will feed water. The reservoir usually has only a single opening or orifice for the water to be released into the tray this orifice is usually placed in the tray such that water flows out of the reservoir into the tray until an equilibrium is reached between the level of the water in the tray and the remaining water in the reservoir. As the pet drinks water from the tray additional water is released from the reservoir to refill the container until a new equilibrium is achieved. This continues until all the water is removed from the reservoir and flows into the tray. The reservoir has double wall structure with an insulator between the walls to keep the water in the reservoir cool and, therefore, appealing to the pet. | 09-03-2009 |

The animal waterer may also comprise a valve in fluid communication with the reservoir. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100064977 | Livestock Waterer - A livestock waterer for use in frigid climates includes a lid which floats on the surface of the water in each basin of the waterer. The lid is hollow with a convex upper surface and with baffle walls depending from the underside of the lid. The baffle walls interrupt wave action on the surface of the water created by depression of the lid into the water when an animal presses down on the lid to gain access to the water. The floor of each basin is provided with an integrally formed mounting post to support a heater within the basin. The baffles walls prevent exhaustion of water within the basin thereby preserving submersion of the heater at all times. | 03-18-2010 |
