ABSTRACT:
An animal feeder shown in two embodiments which incorporates a storage bin for receiving a supply of granular animal feed wherein the bin has a removable top to protect the animal feed from the elements, an opening at the bottom where the animal feed pours from the bin onto a plate. An auger extends across the plate. The auger is rotated at a controlled rate by a motor. The auger forces a controlled quantity of feed during an interval to advance along the auger to the edge of the plate to fall thereafter down a chute, dispensed for feeding in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the chute empties into a storage container which stores and dumps animal feed. The second embodiment also supplies all of the animal feed from the storage container at one instant while the first embodiment provides the animal feed continuously over an interval of time.
