Abstract

A bird feeder comprising a cylindrical water tank and a drinking bowl, inside of which there is a coaxial cylindrical protrusion interacting with the open side of the water tank and provided with a tray recess located on the cylindrical surface of the protrusion, characterized in that the cylindrical protrusion is provided with a second tray recess located on diametrically opposite side of the surface of the protrusion.

Description

The utility model relates to poultry farming, namely to drinking bowls for poultry or other birds, and can be used in private and small farms.

Known drinking bowl for birds and small animals according to the patent of the Russian Federation for the invention No. 222121 (IPC: A01K 39/02, claimed 06.06.2003, published 20.12.2004). The specified drinking bowl contains a drinking bowl and connected thereto means for supplying water to the bowl, including a tank installed by means of racks on the platform. A hollow fitting is fixed in the lower part of the tank, in which a rod is connected, connected to a drinking bowl located in an opening made in the platform. A ball valve and a washer are fixed on the stem, and an adjusting nut of the valve position is installed on the thread in the lower part of the fitting, between which a compression spring is located on the stem and the washer. The rod is made with an axial channel and holes in the upper and lower parts, through which water from the reservoir through the cavity in the rod enters the drinking bowl.

The disadvantage of this drinker is the bulkiness and complexity of the design, the complexity of its maintenance. When operating the bowl, it is necessary to wash it from dust, feathers, feed particles that have settled in it, and the existing valve device makes it difficult to wash, which increases the service time.

Closest to the proposed design of the drinker is a bird drinker according to the patent of the Russian Federation for utility model No. 138126 (IPC: A01K 39/02, announced September 20, 2013, published February 27, 2014). The drinking bowl contains a cylindrical water tank and a drinking bowl, inside of which there is a coaxial cylindrical protrusion interacting with the open side of the cylindrical water tank. On the cylindrical surface of the protrusion there is a tray recess, which provides the flow of water from the tank into the bowl.

The disadvantage of this drinking bowl is that the filling of the drinking bowl is too slow and the level of water comfortable for birds is not sufficiently reliable when it is consumed simultaneously by several birds.

The objective of the claimed utility model is the development of a structurally simple drinking bowl that reliably maintains a constant water level in the drinking bowl, easily transported to any desired location, easy to maintain.

The problem is solved in that in a bird feeder comprising a cylindrical water tank and a drinking bowl, inside of which there is a coaxial cylindrical protrusion interacting with the open side of the cylindrical water tank and provided with a tray recess located on the cylindrical surface of the protrusion, the cylindrical protrusion is provided with a second tray a recess located on the diametrically opposite side of the surface of the protrusion.

The essence of the proposed technical solution is illustrated by drawings, which schematically show:

in FIG. 1 - a drinking bowl for birds in the context;

in FIG. 2 - drinking bowl, top view.

The drinking bowl for birds contains a drinking bowl 1 and a cylindrical container 2 for water. Inside the drinking bowl 1 there is a coaxial cylindrical protrusion 3 with a height within the height of the walls of the bowl 1. In the upper part of the protrusion 3 there is a girdle 4, the diameter of which is equal to the inner diameter of the cylindrical container 2. On the diametrically opposite sides of the lateral surface of the protrusion 3, tray recesses 5 and 6 are made for overflow of water from a cylindrical tank 2 into the bowl 1.

The proposed drinking bowl works as follows.

Water is poured into the cylindrical container 2. The bowl 1 is turned over and the container 2 is covered with it as a lid, combining the belt 4 of the cylindrical protrusion 3 with the open side of the container 2. Then, the drinker assembly is turned over and put in the desired place. Water flows through the tray recesses 5 and 6 into the bowl 1 to the level of the edge of the cylindrical container 2. When water is consumed by the birds, the bowl 1 is continuously replenished until all the water has been poured out of the cylindrical container 2. The presence of two tray recesses 5 and 6 for the overflow of water reduces the filling time for drinking bowls 1 and ensures the preservation of a constant water level even when it is consumed by several birds.

The proposed drinking bowl is reliable in operation, it provides a natural way of drinking, in which the bird scoops up the water with its beak from the tank, while the water surface level is lower than the bird's head and remains constant. The drinker allows several birds to drink water at the same time. The offered drinking bowl meets hygienic requirements. Due to the absence of water leakage, the flooring remains dry, eliminating the risk of bacterial, viral and fungal infections. The drinker is easy to maintain, requires minimal material and labor costs in the manufacture.
