ABSTRACT:
A feeder for supplying fish food has a container for storing food which is dispensed at desired times by rotating the container through one revolution. The container is rotatably mounted on a housing having a rotary dial containing time indicia. A manually turnable lug is mounted on the housing and coacts with the time indicia on the dial to indicate time. One or more pins are detachably connected to the dial to set predetermined times at which the food is to be automatically dispensed. As each pin rotates past the lug, a motor is turned on to rotate the container one revolution to thereby dispense a given amount of food at the predetermined time. The time-indicating lug may be manually turned to turn the motor on in order to dispense food at any desired time.
