ABSTRACT:
An automatic fishfood dispenser includes a food container, a dispensing mechanism, and a battery pack. A transparent plastic food container is provided with a removable cover and is integrally formed with a channel through which an outflow of fishfood is communicated to an egress provided in said dispensing mechanism. A grooved spindle positioned in the channel when stationary blocks a flow of fishfood from the channel, but when rotating distributes a quantity of fishfood to the egress. A battery powered motor operating in conjunction with a timer controls the rotation of the grooved spindle. A quantity of fishfood to be dispensed and a time interval preset by the user by means of the timer allows for the automatic dispensing of a quantity of fishfood at predetermined time intervals.
