  • Patent number: 4834025
    Abstract: An automatic feeding machine having a pivotally supported gravity lever for controlling a pivotally supported feeding lever. One side of the gravity lever has a weight overlapping an arch on one end of the feeding lever, on the other side of the gravity lever there is mounted a water container for receiving water from a source. The feeding lever has a feeding stopper on the other end to seal the feeding bucket. The levers are pivotally supported by shafts mounted inside a housing, the levers lying along a common longitudinal axis. A predetermined amount of water in the water bucket will initiate pivotal movement of said gravity level to free the arch end and cause pivotal movement of the feeding lever to unseal the feeding bucket, which may also be provided with a damper to control the amount of feed being dispensed.
