Abstract

The device for the provision of fodder to animals consists of a container (1) to receive the fodder, with an open upper surface (2) which is smaller than the surface of the container base (3). A slot (4) is formed, just below the top edge of one of the side walls of the container for the introduction of a grill (5). The grill can be slid across the open upper surface, within the edges of the opening. The container has two fixing points (7) which allow the feeding container to be attached to a wall at a convenient height for feeding, and an opening (8) in the bottom surface to allow the container to be emptied.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la distribution de fourrage aux animaux, et plus spécialement aux chevaux. The present invention relates to a device for distributing fodder to animals, and more particularly to horses.

Traditionnellement le fourrage est distribué aux animaux soit dans des râteliers, ou le plus souvent à même la litiére. Dans les deux cas, surtout le dernier, il existe un gaspillage souvens important, et parfois consommation de foin souillé. Traditionally the fodder is distributed to animals either in racks, or more often in the litter. In both cases, especially the last, there is considerable wastage, and sometimes consumption of soiled hay.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

n comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique une capacité destinée à recevoir le fourrage, dont la surface de l'ouverture supérieure est inférieure à la surface du fond ; avec dans une partie latérale haute une fente permettant l'introduction d'une grille de dimensions légèrement inférieure au fond de la capacité. Cette grille pouvant ainsi coulisser dans la capacité sans pouvoir en sortir par l'ouverture plus petite que la grille. n indeed has, according to a first characteristic, a capacity intended to receive the fodder, the surface of the upper opening of which is less than the surface of the bottom; with a slot in the upper side allowing the introduction of a grid of dimensions slightly smaller than the bottom of the capacity. This grid can thus slide in the capacity without being able to leave it through the opening which is smaller than the grid.

L'ensemble du dispositif dispose d'un moyen de fixation sur une paroi verticale, et le fond de la capacité d'un orifice de vidange pour le nettoyage. The entire device has a means of attachment to a vertical wall, and the bottom of the capacity of a drain opening for cleaning.

1l suffira de disposer une ration de fourrage dans la capacité d'introduire la grille au des du fourrage sur lequel elle reposera, la grille ne pouvant sortir par le haut, descendra au fur et à mesure de la consommation du fourrage par l'animal au travers de celleci, sans qu'il puisse en gaspiller. 1l will suffice to have a ration of fodder in the capacity to introduce the grid at the top of the fodder on which it will rest, the grid not being able to come out from the top, will go down as the fodder is consumed by the animal at through it, without him being able to waste it.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation, la capacité pourra être de formes diverses de dimensions aptes à contenir une ration de fourrage. According to particular embodiments, the capacity may be of various shapes of dimensions capable of containing a ration of fodder.

Les dimensions de l'ouverture seront réduites soit par un rebord intérieur, ou une pièce fixe tout autour de la face interne. The dimensions of the opening will be reduced either by an internal rim, or a fixed part all around the internal face.

Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention, la figure 1 représente le dispositif selon l'invention
En référence à ce dessin, le dispositif comporte une capacité (1) dont la surface de l'ouverture supérieure (2) est inférieure à la surface du fond (3) une fente latérale (4) permet l'introduction d'une grille (5) de dimensions très légèrement inférieurs à la surface du fond (3) qui pourra coulisser dans la capacité (1) sans pouvoir en sortir grâce au rebord (6) inteme de l'ouverture de la capacité (1).The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention, Figure 1 shows the device according to the invention
With reference to this drawing, the device comprises a capacity (1) whose surface of the upper opening (2) is less than the surface of the bottom (3) a lateral slot (4) allows the introduction of a grid ( 5) of dimensions very slightly smaller than the surface of the bottom (3) which can slide in the container (1) without being able to exit therefrom thanks to the inner rim (6) of the opening of the container (1).

L'ensemble du dispositif dispose d'un moyen (7) de fixation et le fond de la capacité (1) d'un orifice de vidange (8) pour nettoyage. The entire device has a means (7) for fixing and the bottom of the capacity (1) of a drain orifice (8) for cleaning.
