摘要： A conveyor system for delivering feed to a plurality of animal cages arranged in rows said system comprises an endless conduit extending along a conduit run past at least one of the rows of cages and through a feed trough disposed adjacent the faces of the row of cages. An elongate, continuous, endless material moving element extends through the endless conduit run and is longitudinally movable therethrough, and a driver element advances the endless material moving element along and through the conduit run. The material moving element comprises an elongate helical member defining a longitudinal helix axis and bendable about this axis for following the endless conduit run. Cooperating structure on the driver element and on the helical member rotates the helical member about the helix axis thereof while simultaneously axially advancing the helical member along and through the conduit run.

摘要翻译： 一种输送系统，用于将进料输送到排成行的多个动物笼中，所述系统包括沿着导管延伸的环形导管，该导管延伸穿过至少一排笼状物，并通过邻近该排笼的面设置的进料槽。 细长的，连续的环形材料移动元件延伸穿过环形管道，并且可纵向移动通过其中，并且驱动元件使环形材料移动元件沿着并穿过管道行进。 材料移动元件包括限定纵向螺旋轴线的细长螺旋构件，并且围绕该轴线可弯曲以跟随环形管道运行。 驱动元件和螺旋构件上的协作结构使螺旋构件围绕其螺旋轴线旋转，同时沿螺旋构件沿着并穿过导管行程轴向前进。
