ABSTRACT:
An automatic fishfood dispenser includes a container having a flexible base, a dispensing mechanism, and a battery pack. The base has a channel through which the outflow of fishfood is communicated to an outlet in the dispensing mechanism. A grooved rod is disposed in the channel for feeding the food from the container to the outlet. The rod has a semi-cylindrical member or eccentric mounted at one end thereof which causes the base to vibrate when the grooved rod is rotated by a battery operated motor at its other end. The base also includes a cavity in which a vibration motor is located which rotates an eccentric to vibrate the base. A quantity of fishfood to be dispensed and a time interval is preset by a user for the automatic dispensing of a quantity of fishfood at predetermined time intervals.
