ABSTRACT:
An elongated vertically extended housing enclosing a hopper. Its lower end funnel connects to fittings extending to the exterior of housing into a feed dish. The pipe holds the dish in place. Dry feed material is controlled electrically by a solenoid operated valve incorporated into the lower fitting to hopper. Two timers control when and how much feed should be released. The first timer activates time of day, the second timer dispenses a feed portion. The second timer being adjustable in seconds per minute. The feed valve solenoid remains open releasing the feed material. The automatic dog and cat feeder can be used indoors and outdoors. Its exterior cabinet as well as the frame is sheet metal. The feeder as well as other feeders are to a degree fairly waterproof, but for outdoor use an inexpensive plastic cover as an accessory provides inclement weather protection.
