Device for feeding fish

The hiring relates to a device for feeding fish, especially ornamental fish, with a plate-shaped float and a tube-like magazine which is at least approximately vertically arranged and which is carried by the float and penetrates it and is used to receive feed bodies, in such a way that the Fish can grasp the food body lying below in the magazine by plucking xma.

In the known devices of this type, this is tubular Magazine made in one piece and firmly connected to the float. It has also been suggested that to arrange the float adjustable in height on the magazine.

The - renewal - is essentially based on the task ■ to improve the devices mentioned at the beginning in such a way that that they are produced simply and sweci-anäsiig as molded bodies can be, namely by joining individual moldings by hand, so under ¥ ericht auf Tools should take place.

To solve this problem, the magazine consists of two steakable sections due to the innovation, of the upper one or more longitudinal slits and the lower one at its lower end cross webs for holding the rutter body is up, and the

These three components of the feeding device can thus be produced individually; they are quickly and safely connected to each other by simply plugging them together, which can also be done by the aquarist. The upper section of the magazine also advantageously has slots, which allow control of the magazine -.- ^ ii63 Si "iirOgj.iCxi3ci J u.Sjcr UUIfSx ¹ S AuSCuniT ν criÄn uelijfiX

The essentially tubular magazine consists of an upper section and a lower section 2, the essentially plate-shaped float with an approximately square plan is denoted by 3.

The upper section 1 v / e is two over its circumference distributed longitudinal slots 4, which extend practically over the entire height of the magazine. At the lower brew of section 1 this is marked with a circumferential bead 5 provided as a stop for serves the lower section 2 of the magazine, v / elcher is pushed onto the lower connection 7 of the upper section without play and is pulled up under Yer [special fasteners often. Holds gate 1. At the lower edge of the section 2 this sit star-shaped cross webs 8 is provided.

The lower section 2 has elastic residual stress enclosed by the float 3.

for the purpose of assembly, but also disassembly e.g. to enable manual cleaning.

While the float 3 "preferably off a slightly Elastically deformable plastic foam or the like is produced, order sections 1 and 2 appropriately made of a plastic that can be processed by injection molding or the like, e.g. PYC.

The magazine can hold any putter body suitable; however, tablet-like chuck bodies are preferably used, which are stacked within the magazine be accommodated. The litter body below cannot escape into the water because he is prevented from doing so by the crossbar 8. The between the crossbars 8 located rooms are still, so big that the FIsclic from the putter corpsra is small Pluck off parts and then eat them.
