Definitions
- This invention relates' to a device for feeding livestock, and in particular, to a device for distributing baled feed material to livestock in an autoinatcd manner.
- feed for livestock such as hay, silage or other stock feed material is generally prepared and stored in the form of round or square/rectangular bales.
- bales arc typically stored in barns, fields or hay stacks for later feeding to the livestock to supplement their dietary intake.
- bales Traditional methods; of feeding such bales involve dispensing the bales on an individual basis.
- the bales arc typically manually loaded onto vehicles, such as utility vehicles, pick-ups, trucks and the like and manually dispensed from the vehicle.
- Bales may be dispensed at pre-delermined intervals to provide a number of feeding sites for the livestock to access and feed on the bales. Any breakage of the bales into smaller pieces is also typically done manually prior to dispensing the bales from the truck.
- dispensing baled feed material can be very tiresome and labour intensive task, requiring a number of workers to perform the task. Due to the manual nature of thc task and the involvement of machinery, there is much potential for work place injury for individuals handling the bales.
- a number of mechanically operated feeders have been proposed to assist in transporting and dispensing baled feed material from the feeder.
- the feed material is typically dispensed onto a ground surface for the livestock to feed on.
- Many of these devices involve various complicated mechanical structures and machinery that dispense the bales by way of sliding or tilting movements of a variety of moving parts.
- other disadvantages with such feeders is that they arc typically dedicated towards unloading individual bales of feed material. As such, following dispensing of the individual bales it is often necessary to re-load the feeder.
- the first elongate spreader member may be movably mounted to the post such that the vertical position of the first elongate spreader member may be adjustable with respect the position of the second elongate spreader member. Such an arrangement may accommodate for a variation in the size of bales being processed by the bale feeding device.
- the first and second spreader members may comprise elongate tubular members configured to freely rotate about a longitudinal axis.
- the plurality of projections may be blades or wings arranged to extend radially from the elongate tubular members.
- the projections may be arranged in at least two regions along the length of the tubular members. Each of the projections located in each region may be substantially equispaccd about the periphery of the respective tubular member.
- a bale feeding device Cor feeding bales of feed material l ⁇ livestock, comprising; a substantially planar body configured to support one or more bales of feed material thereon; a pusher clement operable to push one or more of the bales from the substantially planar body for consumption by the livestock; and u spreader unit mountablc to said planar body and p ⁇ sitionable Lo engage with the one or more bales as each bale is being pushed by the pusher element, the spreader unit being configured to facilitate separation of the bale into smaller pieces for livestock consumption.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a feeding device employing a spreader unit in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- Figures 5 A and 5B are plan and top views respectively of the second spreader of Figure3.
- the pusher element 14 is received in a groove 16 provided along a central region of the body 12 and is moved along the groove 16 by way of a cable 17 connected to bi-directional winch(nol shown).
- winch By controlling the winch, the direction and speed of pusher clement 14 is controlled, thus controlling the rale in which the bales are dispensed from the distal end of the body 12.
- other motive means may be provided to control movement of (lie pusher element 14, and still fall within the scope oi'thc present invention.
- spreader unit 20 of the present invention is provided to extend across one or bolh of the chutes 13 so as to act on. the bale 5 as it is being dispensed i ⁇ om the distal end thereof.
- the spreader unit 20 is shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3.
- ⁇ vertical post 21 is mounted to an end of the body 12, adjacent Hie central region thereof, as shown.
- a first or upper spreader 22 is mounted to the post 21 so as to extend substantially horizontally therefrom, and is movably located with respect to the post 21.
- a sleeve 22a is provided to extend over the post 21 and a locating screw or pin is provided in a recess therein to engage with the surface oi ' the post 21 to secure or lock the first spreader 22 in vertical position.
- Each of the first spreader 22 and second spreader 24 is in the form of rollers that are able to freely rotate about a longitudinal axis thereof.
- Each spreader 22, 24 has a plurality of projections 22b, 24b respectively thatextend radially thcrclrom.
- the projections 22b, 24b are in the form of blades or wings located at two distinct regions along the length of (he spreaders 22.24.
- the projections 22b, 24b are in the form of triangular plates or reinforced wires that extend radially lr ⁇ ni the surface of the spreaders 22, 24 in an evenly spaced manner, however oilier arrangements are also envisaged.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne une unité d'épandage (20) permettant de distribuer des bottes (5) de fourrage en provenance d'un dispositif d'alimentation en bottes (10). Ladite unité d'épandage (20) comprend un premier élément épandeur allongé (22) monté sur ledit dispositif d'alimentation (10) et pouvant être positionné de façon à s'appliquer sur une première surface d'une botte (5) en train d'avancer. Un second élément épandeur allongé (24) est également monté sur le dispositif d'alimentation (10) et peut être positionné de façon à s'appliquer sur une seconde surface de la botte (5) en train d'avancer. Le premier élément épandeur allongé (22) et le second élément épandeur allongé (24) comportent une pluralité de prolongements (22b, 24b) à leur surface. Chacun de ces prolongements (22b, 24b) est conçu pour se prolonger respectivement dans la première ou la seconde surface de la botte (5), afin de faciliter la séparation de ladite botte en plus petits fragments plus homogènes au fur et à mesure de l'avancement de ladite botte (5).
