ABSTRACT:
A platform actuated feeder apparatus including a storage and delivery assembly interconnected to a platform and access lid assembly by an actuator linkage assembly. The storage and delivery assembly includes 1) a hopper material storage assembly which is open at the top providing easy access for replenishment of material contained therein; 2) a hopper lid assembly to enclose the hopper material storage assembly; and 3) the storage and delivery assembly is elevated to a practical height by a hopper support assembly. A stored material, such as pet food, is dispensed to a discharge section of the hopper material storage assembly and is covered at that point by an access lid assembly. A user, such as a pet, would stand on a hinged actuator platform assembly engaging an articulated actuator linkage assembly thereby raising an access lid member which will reamin open for as long as the pet remains on a portion of the actuator platform assembly.
