ABSTRACT:
An automatic dry food feeder for animals is described. The feeder consists of a housing with a hopper fitted in the housing having sloping members terminating in a rectangular section at the bottom of the hopper. An electric motor having a gearbox attached thereto is located outside the rectangular portion of the hopper. The gearbox shaft extends into the rectangular portion with a sleeve fitted over the shaft. Attached to the sleeve are segmented flexible vanes that rotate in accordance with the signal provided by an electronic programmable controller. Rotating the segmented flexible vanes a prescribed amount in response to a programmed timer dispenses a measured amount of dry animal food into a tray.
