  • Patent number: 7798098
    Abstract: The animal feeder has an elevated container, a food distributor and a collector around the distributor. Feed placed in the container exits through the container lower opening and falls onto the distributor spinner plate. When activated, the spinner plate throws the feed into a bin of the collector. The feed falls from the collector bin into a conduit, where it travels to a trough. The collector is removably coupled to the feeder to allow the feeder to dispense feed either on the ground (without the collector) or into the collector trough. The length of the conduit is adjustable to allow the trough to bear on the ground. The collector bin is provided with a transparent hatch to allow access to the distributor.
