摘要:
A bird feeder in which different varieties of seed can be stored and distributed through an invertible loading tube (12) into a manifold (17) to which the tube (12) removably connects in various rotational positions and thence through chutes (25, 26, 27) to selected seed access stations, the feeder being of modular construction to permit disassembly for washing.
摘要:
A bird feeder is shown in Figure 1 comprising a bottle-like container adapted to be hung from a tree with a reversible cap engageable with the container. In one position the cap closes the container against egress of contents, for example in transport and storage, and in the reversed position allows controlled discharge of contents for bird feeding purposes.

A dispenser for holding bird food has apertures which may be opened and closed by pivotable perches 122. The bird food is prevented from escaping through the opened aperture by an internal cowl 140 and a ledge 129. In a modification (Fig. 8 not shown) the dispenser comprises relatively movable upper and lower sections (11, 12); movement apart of the two sections permits bird food to fall through an aperture at the base of the upper section into a bird feeding area of the lower section.
摘要:
A feeder is provided, in particular for feeding poultry, comprising a polygonal feeding pan defined by a base and a plurality of side walls depending from the base. The side walls define an outer peripheral edge of the feeder having a plurality of substantially straight outer edges. The feeder provides increased feeding space and feed volume with respect to a circular feeder having a radius equal to the apothem of the polygonal feeding pan.
摘要:
Feeding trough for poultry farming with automatic dispensing of the feed from a vertically displaceable horizontal dispensing tube (T), formed by just three pieces (1, 2, 3). The plate (3) is formed in one piece with a ring (9) which in the lowered position of the bell-like housing (1) opens a crown of apertures (12) and in the raised position of the bell-like housing (1) closes the crown of apertures (12) so as to reduce the amount of feed transferred to the plate (3). The feed trough is also configured to facilitate periodic rinsing thereof by providing a dome (7) formed in one piece with the plate (3), which plate (3) is rotatable relative to the bell-like housing (1), said dome (7) extending within the bell-like housing (1) so as to define therewith an annular chamber (8) for the passage of a liquid under pressure introduced into said annular chamber (8) through an inlet hole (11) of the bell-like housing (1), and a plurality of substantially helical projections (10) formed on the dome (7).
