ABSTRACT:
An animal food dispensing machine capable of being operated by a domesticated animal or pet includes a housing provided with a discharge chute, a food storage compartment, a free-wheeling external actuator, and a measuring dispenser mechanism complete the device. In one embodiment of the dispenser, a lower plate is rotatable about a boss and aligns an opening with the discharge chute to discharge a quantity of food therethrough to an outlet. An upper plate mounted in a fixed position guides the food to the lower plate. In another embodiment of the dispenser, a metering plate is included to control a measured quantity of the food to be dispensed. The free-wheeling external actuator assembly coupled to the internal dispenser mechanism is activated by the animal to effect discharge of the metered quantity of food through the discharge chute in the housing in relation to the angular distance through which the actuator assembly is moved by the animal.
