摘要： An on-demand feed actuator includes a sealing portion disposed within a feed reservoir and connected to a downwardly extending stem portion protruding a distance past a discharge opening. The sealing portion includes a first component and a second component that are adjustable relative to each other in order to define an overall static dimension of the sealing portion. A spring biases the first and second components away from each other while permitting the first and second components to be compressible relative to each other in response to movement of the actuator by the animal to provide the first and second components with a corresponding combined overall dynamic dimension that is less than the combined overall static dimension.

摘要： Each grain bin includes a data collector coupled to multiple capacitive moisture cables, each with multiple sensor nodes spaced along it. Each sensor node includes a pair of longitudinally extending capacitive plates of the capacitive moisture sensor positioned in side-by-side, spaced-apart relationship to form a longitudinally extending gap between the capacitive plates. Positioned within the longitudinal gap between the capacitive plates is a circuit board including a microprocessor, memory, and temperature sensor. An outer housing provides a sealed enclosure that surrounds the circuit board, the capacitive plates, and a longitudinal length of the moisture cable that extends through and seals openings in each longitudinal end of the housing.

摘要： A feeder assembly includes an elongated pan (104) in either a two intersecting circle or oval shape. The feeder assembly includes first and second fill ports for receiving feed from a feed supply conduit and for providing feed to the pan. Each fill port provides feed to a separate portion of the pan. The fill ports are defined through an outer grill which is operatively associated with the pan. The outer grill has an elongated rim which is shaped to match the pan. The outer grill defines apertures therethrough through which birds can eat the feed presented on the pan. First and second inner grills are provided within the outer grill which can be rotated to partially mask the apertures to effectively change the width of the apertures. The inner grills are connected such that rotation of one inner grill causes rotation of the other inner grill in the opposite direction.

摘要： A storage system having a plurality of interconnected base support members. The base support members have upper and lower horizontal rails spanning across and integrally connected by a plurality of transverse support columns. The rails include a longitudinally extending center segment and a stabilizing portion adjacent each end thereof. The stabilizing portions extend in opposite directions forming a non-planar self-supporting base support structure, a plurality of which support floor panels. The floor panels comprise a center support disposed between first and second support members. The center support is connected to the first support member by a first floor surface and to the second support member by a second floor surface.

摘要： A poultry drinker system (10) includes a number of drinker lines (12) each supplied from a common high pressure water supply (16) through a water pressure regulator (20). Each regulator (20) includes a reference spring (76) establishing a default minimum water pressure. A centralized remote control system (26) provides regulated low pressure air (36) to the water pressure regulators (20) to augment the reference spring force and remotely adjust the water pressure in the drinker lines (12). The remote control system (26) periodically applies higher pressure (34) to the water pressure regulators (20) to increase water pressure and flow rates and sequentially flush the drinker lines (12). The remote control system (26) includes a source of high pressure air (34), an air pressure regulator for supplying lower pressure air (38) and a stack of 3-way valves (32) for applying low or high pressure air to each water pressure regulator (20).

摘要： A feeder assembly (10) for birds or other animals having a pan member (26), a feeder tube (20) defining a channel (42) for receiving feed from a feed supply and defining a brood gate opening(38), a plurality of wing members (22) having a plurality of fingers (92) for adjustably engaging the feeder tube (20), and a cone member (24) disposed about the feeder tube (20) and slidably mounted to the plurality of wing members (22) by a plurality of engaging arms (110). The cone member (24) is adapted to slide relative to the feeder tube (20) between a raised position to open the brood gate opening (38) and a lowered position to close the brood gate opening (38). The pan member (26) and an end of the cone member (24) define a feed opening (30) for permitting feed to pass from the feeder tube (20) to the pan member (26) for presentation. The feed opening (30) can be adjusted in size either by adjusting the wing members (22) relative to the pan member (26) or by sliding and adjustably positioning the cone member (24) relative to the feeder tube (20) and the wing members (22). The brood gate opening (38) can be opened or closed in an adjustable manner by adjustably positioning the cone member (24) relative to the feeder tube (20) and the wing members (22). The elevation of the brood gate opening (38) can be adjusted by adjusting the wing members (22) relative to the pan member (26).

摘要： A unique feeder (10) for birds and animals of the type forming part of a modern automated feeding system (12) used to minimize the operating costs associated with commercial breeding. The feeder assembly (10) comprises feeder tube means (32), a pan member (38) and may include cone means (34) loosely surrounding the feeder tube (32) for controlling the pattern and amount of feed presented in the pan (38). Indexing means (75) and visual indication means (55) may also be provided for enabling the preselection of the size of a lower feed gate (62) which automatically results when the feeder (10) is suspended above a feeding surface (30) and providing constant indication of the size selected, respectively. A brood gate (60) may also be provided which is designed to automatically close upon elevation of the feeder (10) above a feeding surface (30), but which can also be locked open when so desired. The unique feeder (10) may also include rotatable coupling means (84) to engage and disengage the pan member (38) and a barrier means (36) by simply rotating one with respect to the other. The barrier means (36) is designed to facilitate the egress of birds or animals which might otherwise be trapped inside the feeder (10) and make ingress more difficult than egress. Moreover, the feeder (10) is preferably provided with a hanger means (102, 104, 106) to enable simultaneous suspension of the pan (38) from the barrier means (36) upon disengagement therefrom.
