Patent number: 8904958Abstract: A feeding device for feeding poultry comprising a dish-shaped dispensing pan with an outer circumferential edge, a feed drop tube opening out above a central part of the pan such that a volume of feed transported to the drop tube is distributed over the bottom surface of the pan, and bars connecting the pan with the drop tube, in which openings are present between the bars for the poultry to have access to feed distributed in the pan, which openings are delimited by sides of parts of the device facing said openings. At least part of said sides of the parts facing said openings, in particular said bars, have a non-sharp-edged cross-section which is constructed circumferentially closed. The circumferentially closed parts are at least partly made out of a foam plastic.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2009Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Roxell N.V.Inventors: Philippe Hyppoliet Pia Maria Keirse, Jeroen Fiers

Patent number: 8381683Abstract: Feed dispenser for feeding birds, comprising a dispenser tray (1) having a center section (2) which is raised relative to the bottom surface (3). The raised center section interacts with a downpipe (7) in such a way that a supplied volume of feed (8) is distributed over the bottom surface of the dispenser tray. The center section of the dispenser tray is joined to the bottom surface which blends into a rising outwardly directed side wall (4). The side wall ends in an outer edge. The dispenser tray comprises at least two steep wall sections in the side wall at different height levels relative to the bottom surface. The steep wall sections extend in a direction parallel to the outer edge. In the vertical direction, the side wall has a top (4c) and a bottom half (4d). The bottom half comprises at least two steep wall sections.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Roxell N.V.Inventors: Philippe Hyppoliet Pia Maria Keirse, Koen Debruyne, Sofie Els Johanna van Zele

Patent number: 8347816Abstract: The invention relates to a feed dispenser for birds with a wear-resistant pecking area. This feed dispenser comprises a dispensing pan with a raised mid-section, that is surrounded entirely by a base plate. This base plate is built up of a plastic base material and a substantially impenetrable contiguous layer of material that is more wear-resistant than the plastic base material, for example a more wear-resistant plastic or metal. This achieves the advantage that the base plate is protected from perforation by the birds' beaks.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2008Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Roxell N.V.Inventor: Philippe Hyppoliet Pia Maria Keirse

Patent number: 6848393Abstract: Described is a water distribution system (1) with a continuous main line (10). Drinking cups (20) are placed on drinking segments (11) of the main line (10). Between the drinking segments (11) the main line (10) has intermediate segments (13), which are situated at a higher level than the drinking segments (11). The drinking cups are situated at a level suitable for drinking, and the intermediate segments are situated at a level suitable for allowing the birds to pass through unhindered underneath them. The complete line system can be cleaned by means of flushing, and has no dead-end branches. Top edges (22) of the drinking cups (20) are advantageously fixed to vertically directed line segments (13). The water distribution system (1) is modular.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2001Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: Roxell, N.V.Inventor: Christophe Roger Antoon Debonne

Patent number: 6786178Abstract: A feed distribution system with feed dispensers (20), dispenser trays (22) of which have a convex edge (27) with successive edge areas (61) which have a relatively large radius of curvature and edge areas (62) which have a relatively small radius of curvature; a suitable shape in this connection is an elliptical shape a triangular shape, a hexagonal shape. The invention provides improved animal welfare, inter alia through a larger feeding space and also larger living space when the birds are not feeding. The invention further provides improved economic efficiency for the breeder, inter alia by reduced costs per bird.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2003Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Roxell N.V.Inventor: Danny De Rouck

Patent number: 5964185Abstract: A feeding installation has at least two feed containers from which feeds of different composition are conveyed by means of a feed conveying device to feeding devices. The feeding devices are connected to the feed conveying device by way of valves. The valves have two or more slide elements which are slidable relative to each other and are provided with an opening, for allowing or blocking the passage of feed.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1997Date of Patent: October 12, 1999Assignee: Roxell, N.V.Inventors: Christophe Roger Antoon DeBonne, Antoine Achiel Vandaele

Patent number: 5765503Abstract: A feeding device for birds, in particular for breeders with a limited, predetermined daily ration of feed. The device has a dish-shaped pan with a bottom and upright peripheral wall, a drop tube with an open upper end which can be coupled to a feed supply system. The drop tube also has a lower end which is situated above the dish-shaped pan. The sum of the volume of the dish-shaped pan and the feed volume of the drop tube is at most equal to the volume of the sum of the daily rations of feed for the birds feeding at the device at the same time. A filling element may be provided in the drop tube, spaced from the inner wall of the drop tube.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1995Date of Patent: June 16, 1998Assignee: Roxell, N.V.Inventor: Antoine Achiel van Daele

Patent number: 5497730Abstract: A feeding device for poultry has a dish-shaped pan, above which a feed drop tube is centrally arranged. The upper end of the feed drop tube can be brought in open connection with a feed supply tube of a feed supply system. Between the feed drop tube and the pan a plurality of support arms is present which are connected to a rim of the pan by means of a snap connection with two transverse arms extending along the rim of the pan and having hook lugs and a supporting lip. The feeding device is connected to the feed supply tube by two yoke parts which, together, enclose the feed supply tube, the first yoke part having two yoke arms with hook parts directed towards each other for enclosing the second yoke part.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1994Date of Patent: March 12, 1996Assignee: Roxell, N.V.Inventors: Antoine A. van Daele, Jean-Paul A.

Patent number: 5113797Abstract: A poultry feeding device comprises an essentially dish-shaped pan, the bottom of which is provided with an upright part. A drop tube for the supply of feed can be moved over a limited, variable distance relative to the bottom of the pan to form a first feed supply opening of variable size. The drop tube has one or more second feed supply openings. In the bottom position of the drop tube the first feed supply opening is closed and the second feed supply opening(s) are opened, and in the top position of the drop tube this is reversed. The upright part of the bottom of the pan extends in the drop tube, and in the bottom position of the drop tube the top side of the upright part reaches to the second feed supply opening(s) and at that point shuts off the drop tube.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1990Date of Patent: May 19, 1992Assignee: Roxell, N.V.Inventor: Antoine A. van Daele
