ANIMAL FEEDING DEVICE Filed Nov. 5, 1952 WLZCJICAZM? INVENTOR BY W.
ATTORNEYS Patented Mar. 30, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ANIMAL FEEDING DEVICE William E. McAnly, Arcadia, Fla. Application November 5, 1952, Serial No. 318,905
1 Claim. (ol."119 54) I This invention relates to an animal feeding device or trough, especially designed for feeding dry feed, an important object of the invention being to provide a feeding device of this character wherein the dry feed will be retained against displacement under wind pressure, and at the same time protected against the elements.
An important object of the invention is to provide a feeding device of this character wherein a floating agitator or valve in the form of a vertically sliding board is employed for controlling the passage of dry feed from a bin which communicates with a trough also forming a part of the feeder.
Another object of the invention is to provide a valve in the form of a floating board with means for holding the valve or board slightly elevated so that animals feeding from the device may elevate the valve with their tongues, thereby releasing a quantity of feed into the trough of the feeder.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of an animal feeding device constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, with certain parts broken away.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 indicates the feeder base which is constructed preferably of concrete and in which one end of the post 6 is anchored, the opposite end of the post 6 being provided with the turn-table l which is secured to the bottom of the feeding device, indicated generally by the reference character 8, at a point near the rear wall thereof.
The feeding device 8 embodies an inclined top 9 and the bottom indicated by the numeral H,
between which the vertical rear wall 10 is secured, the rear wall being spaced from the rear endsof the top 9 and bottom II.
The front wall 42 of the feeding device is inclined inwardly towards the bottom 1 l providing a partial shield for the trough is which extends forwardly within the feeding device, the trough having the inclined bottom it so that feed will gravitate to the front end of the trough Where it will be easily accessible for the animals feeding from the trough.
The bottom it is also inclined forwardly and forms a continuation of the bottom it to direct material to the inclined bottom I4 of the trough.
Secured to the partition l2 adjacent to the lower edge thereof, is the member it which is spaced from the forward surface of the partition l2, and. held in such spaced relation by means of the spacing member H. The space between the member 86 and the partition l2 accommodates the floating board or valve !8, the floating board or valve [8 being of a thickness substantially less than the space in which it moves, to insure a loose fit between the board or valve and its guide, so that when the board is moving within its guide or space it will act to agitate the feed to cause it to discharge into the trough l3.
Pegs I9 extend downwardly from the lower edge of the floating board or valve l8 and rest on the bottom it of the trough l3, supporting the floating board or valve in such position that a space is provided under which the tongue of an animal may be positioned while feeding, to raise the float board or valve and allow the dry feed to pass from the bin of the feeder, into the trough I 3.
In the top of the feeder at a point directly over the bin, is the loading opening 26 which is closed by the hinged closure 2i which extends over the entire top 9 and is constructed to seal the opening against the elements, the closure being held closed by the latch 22.
The entire feeder is encased in the metal casing 23, which has its upper and lower edges secured to the top 9 and bottom H, respectively, providing an exceptionally light and durable feeder. As shown, the forward edges of the meta1 casing 23, are slotted inwardly as at 2 5, and then forwardly at 25, so that the animal feeding from the feeder may have lateral vision from both sides of the feed trough 13.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided a feeding device embodying a bin and a feeding trough in communication with the bin in which dry feed is fed to the trough from the bin. It will further be seen that because of the manner of mounting the board or valve, the board or valve will move laterally within its guide slot to cause the feed to be agitated and directed from the bin into the trough.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
In a cattle feeding open front, and having an inclined bottom, a substantially vertical partition dividing the body into a feed bin and a feed trough, the lower end of said partition being spaced from said inclined bottom providing a passageway between the feed bin and trough, a vertically movable floating board normally obstructing said passageway and lifted by an animal feeding from the bin, releasing feed to the trough, and pegs extending from the lower edge of said board, said pegs being arranged in spaced relation with respect to each other, the pegs contacting with the inclined bottom of the trough holding said board spaced device, a body having an ing animal is inserted,
lifting said board, re-
leasing a quantity of feed into the trough from said bin.
