The present disclosure discloses a pet feeder, and relates to the field of pet feeding equipment. The pet feeder includes a main unit structure; an inner side of the main unit structure is provided with a division structure used for guiding pet food; a side wall of the division structure is connected with a distribution tube used for food division; a bottom end of the main unit structure is provided with a supporting base; a side wall of the supporting base is provided with a food plate structure; and the food plate structure and the supporting base are both provided with adjustment slots used for adjusting a height of the feeder.

A pet feeding device (10) for supplying, opening and disposing filled containers (12), with a pusher for flattening or compressing empty containers In a method for supplying, opening and disposing filled containers, empty containers are flattened or compressed by a pusher.

A pet feeding device (10) for supplying and opening filled containers (12) has at least one stamp for indenting and/or bending an edge (46) of the container (12). In a method for supplying and opening filled containers an edge of the container is indented and/or bent before opening about at least one substantially horizontal axis.

A feeder unit for pigs has an elongate trough with a hopper mounted over the trough for depositing feed downwardly and a feed dispensing control system at a bottom of the hopper so as to supply feed downwardly to make up feed taken by the pigs. The hopper includes four upstanding side walls forming an elongate rectangular open top edge with an open upper guide mouth located centrally above the top edge for locating a downspout of a feed supply system. The open top is covered by two inclined walls each extending upwardly from a long top edge of a respective one of the side walls and inwardly of the side wall of the hopper toward the open upper guide mouth and by two hinged dust covers extending from the short edges to the mouth.

An animal feed trough that includes a base having a triangular configuration defined by a central ridge extending along a length of the base, tapering downwardly and outwardly from the central ridge to define a plurality of feed dishes extending along the length of the base. A body having a side wall panel and opposing, spaced-apart end caps defining an interior for storing a supply of grain is adapted for being mounted on and supported by the base and having an open bottom for gravity flow of grain from the body onto the base and into the plurality of feed dishes. An opening is provided in the body for introducing grain into the interior of the body, and a lid panel is provided for covering and closing the opening in the body.

An animal feeder apparatus includes a hopper defining a cavity configured to store granular animal feed; a cup mounted with respect to the hopper and defining a concavity; and a spout defining a passageway. The spout and passageway are positioned such that, when the cavity contains the granular animal feed, the granular animal feed flows from the cavity, through the passageway, and into the concavity of the cup. The cup, hopper, and passageway are configured and arranged such that the animal feed does not flow as a result of granular friction when the concavity contains more than a predetermined amount of feed.

A feeding apparatus for deer and other large wildlife. The feeding apparatus comprises a generally cylindrical feeding chamber with a splitter positioned within the feeding chamber for directing a flow of feed. The feeding apparatus further comprises a plurality of hollow tubular legs that penetrate the feeding chamber through openings positioned to allow the flow of feed out of the feeding chamber and into each leg. A feed pan is connected to each leg through a feed path opening cut in the outward facing side of each leg. Each feed pan directs the flow of feed out of each leg vis a feed path diverter and into a pan base for consumption by the deer.

A feeder including: a) a base portion having a serving area; b) a chamber portion supported by the base portion and configured to retain a granular material within a chamber interior; c) a dispenser configured to segregate a portion of the granular material from the chamber interior and transfer the portion of the granular material from the chamber portion to the serving area, wherein the dispenser includes: i) a rocker body; and ii) one or more fins projecting from the rocker body; and wherein the feeder includes one or more of: i) the fin(s) are flexible; ii) sensing device(s) part of a sensing tower configured to sense the presence, distance, and/or amount of the granular material within the chamber portion; and/or iii) sensing device(s) configured to sense the presence, distance, and/or amount of the granular material within the serving area.

The present abstract refers to an utility model patent application for a dosing dispenser (1), belonging to the field of equipments for dosing and timing the dispensing of animal feed, comprising: a cabinet (2) with compartment (3) that houses the hopper (6) whose outlet (7) opens to a compartment (4) with a vertical outlet pipe (10) and that houses a batch dosing dispenser (20) comprising: a dosing chamber (21); movable carriage (24) whose top wall (25) and bottom wall (26) slide on walls (8) and (9) and between these is mounted the dosing chamber (21) whose upper inlet (22) and lower outlet (23) remain against the walls (8) and (9) and the wall (25) constitutes the closing drawer (28) of the lower outlet (7); the dosing device (20) also comprises a drive mechanism (30) that moves the carriage (24) between the position in which the inlet (22) aligns with the lower outlet (7) of the hopper (6) and the outlet (23) is closed against the bottom wall (9) and position in which the outlet (23) aligns with the outlet pipe (10) and the drawer (28) closes the outlet (7) of the hopper (6).

The disclosure relates to a feeder (1) for spreading feed, the feeder (1) comprising a housing (10) having an upper feed compartment (11) and a lower feed compartment (12), and a partition wall (16) between the upper feed compartment (11) and the lower feed compartment (12), the partition wall (16) comprising an upper plate (21), a lower plate (22) and a disc (23) with through-going openings (21a-c, 22a-c, 23a-d), the feeder further comprising a spreader motor (50), a rotatable spreader plate (54), a spreader shaft (52) between and connected to the spreader motor (50) and to the rotatable spreader plate (54), the spreader shaft (52) extending at least partly through the lower feed compartment (12) and a lower agitator (60) being positioned inside the lower feed compartment (12) and being connected to and extending from the spreader shaft (52) such that when the spreader shaft (52) is rotated the lower agitator (60) will sweep around the second axis (A2) inside the lower feed compartment (12).
