Pet Bowl Handle by dmann99

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is a pet bowl handle that can be used by folks with back problems. It allows you to access the bowls for refilling/cleaning without bending over.
I used a $3.99 plastic double pet bowl from Target, a $2 1/4"x20 threaded rod (24"-36" length depending on preference) and two 1/4"x20 nuts.
Assembly:
Drill a 1/4" hole near the intersection of the wall and divider.
Screw the 1/4"x20 threaded rod into the pyramid base. The base has a 6mm hole while will allow it to grip the 1/4" rod very firmly.
Thread the rod from the bottom of the bowl until the pyramid base nests between the outside wall and bowl wall.
Thread first nut and make sure is securely holds the rod in place. Test the bowl to make sure it doesn't tip over.
Add 2nd 1/4x20 nut and use two wrenches to lock the nuts together.
Screw the sphere knob on to the top of the threaded rod. The knob has a 6mm hole which will allow it to grip the 1/4" threaded rod very firmly.
