Abstract

THE INVENTION CONCERNS A FEEDER PROVIDED WITH ADJUSTING THE LEVEL OF THE DOUGH, A LOWER EXIT. THIS FEEDER INCLUDES A DISPENSER 4 AND A TIP 3, JOINTLY WITH A CONTAINER TRAY 1. THE DISPENSER 4 IS EQUIPPED WITH A PLURALITY OF SUPPORT NOTCHES 6 ENGAGING WITH CORRESPONDING TEETH 8 SO THAT THE TIP 3 CAN BE MOVES ALONG DISTRIBUTOR 4 BY A ROTATION AND ENGAGEMENT MANEUVER AT EACH LEVEL. THE INVENTION APPLIES TO THE FARMING OF POULTRY.

Description

Currently the feeders provided with level adjustment of the mash, to

  bottom outlet, include a suspended container tray

  and a vertical cylindrical dispenser, within which

  the mash coming from a horizontal tubular conduit to which the same distributor is connected and by which it is supported. It is known that the level of the mash in the container tray (high level in case of chicks and low level in the case of chickens) is determined by the relative distance between the cylindrical distributor and the tray

container placed below.

  In known type feeders this relative distance can be varied in turn according to different requirements, given

  the container tray is provided with metal hooks of

  port, introduced into holes at different heights,

  on the outer surface of the vertical cylindrical distributor.

  The main drawback of these known type feeders is

  presented by the fact that the setting of the level of the mash in the

  container often leads to difficulties in considering

  also because the holes on the dispenser are

  frequently because of garbage and debris deposits, which

  results in a considerable loss of time on the part of the

  tor. The essential object of the present invention is that of providing a manger for obtaining a very simple and very fast adjustment of the level of the mash in the container tray. This goal is achieved by

  the feeder with level adjustment of the mash

  the subject of the present invention, of the type comprising a suspended container tray provided with a metal grid hooked

  a vertical cylindrical distributor connected to a tubular duct

  Cylinder Scorer is provided on its outer surface with a

  support notches arranged reciprocally on different levels of

  fers, an integral endpiece of said metal grid to which -2 -

  erst attached the container tray, being further provided; this tip, es-

  sensibly cylindrical, with teeth capable of engaging

  Mutually with the aforementioned notches and mounted coaxially on the-

  said distributor, externally to it, is able to reach

  place prefixed positions at a variable height by performing

  displacements on the longitudinal development of said distributor.

  Advantageously and according to another characteristic of the invention the above-mentioned notches are essentially L-shaped and are provided

  on their horizontal part, interruptions capable of permitting

  be the evacuation of the deposits that eventually piled on them.

  In this way, a manger is provided, provided with adjustment of

  veal of the mash in the container tray, of simple construction

  quick adjustment and easy disassembly for

nance.

  Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge

  more clearly from the following detailed description of a pre-

  illustrated by a simple example of a nonlimited

  FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the trough; - Figure 2 shows a front view of the cylindrical distributor and the tip; - Figure 3 is a front view of the cylindrical distributor which highlights the mutual engagement position between a tooth tip and a notch; - Figure 4 shows the dispenser illustrated in Figure 3, highlighting two possible positions of the nozzle and the container tray placed below; - Figure 5 is a plan view of the tip; FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the nozzle according to the line VI-VI

of Figure 5.

  Referring in particular to Figure 1, there is indicated in 1 -3- a suspended container tray provided on its contour, a grid

  made of plastic. The tip 3 is mounted coaxially on a vertical cylindrical distributor 4 (the latter also made of plastic material) by which it is supported, connected to its upper part to

  a tubular conduit 5 for transporting the mash.

  In this way, the container tray 1 is hooked, by means of
