ABSTRACT:
An animal feeder has a hopper provided with an adjustable dispensing valve which is operated by an animal. The lower part of the hopper terminates in a funnel forming a lower neck to which is attached a dispensing body consisting of a one-piece plastic part with a lower chamber in which a piston operates. The piston forms an integral part of a metal sluice which pivots about an axle which can be removed in order to disassemble the sluice. The sluice has a rear plate having a forward movement which is stopped by a vertically adjustable rod and a return movement which is stopped by a projection of the dispensing valve. An upper support for the rod consists of a small box provided with an upper slot along whose edge are provided reference marks which are pointed to by an indicator of a control mechanism. A plate which receives the feed is removably attached to a surrounding tubular body by means of a number of elastic tabs which are introduced into holes provided therein.
