ABSTRACT:
A timer-controlled animal feed dispensing device is provided with a rotary cam having trip pins to periodically displace a rocker arm to reciprocate in conjunction with a bias spring, a shuttle assembly. At one end position of the shuttle assembly, a metering chamber defined in the shuttle assembly receives feed material through an opening in the base of a container. The metered feed portion is delivered through another opening below the shuttle assembly, upon its movement to its opposite end position. An agitator for agitating and stirring the feed material in the container are affixed to the shuttle assembly. Spaced primary and secondary engagement surfaces on the rocker arm interact with the trip pins to deliver mechanical shock loading into the feed mass during the filling of the metering chamber.
