  • Patent number: 6691641
    Abstract: A feeder including a seed platform, a plurality of end panels, a plurality of side panels and a roof structure. In one embodiment, roof panels and chimneys fitted with removable chimney caps form a roof structure for the feeder. Feed may pass through the chimneys and feeder throats before reaching the seed platform. The feeder throats can have access ports that include feed regulators. In one aspect of this embodiment, a bin separator is located bilaterally between at least two of the end panels, the bin separator fixedly secured to two throat keepers and at least one of the side panels. In a further aspect of this embodiment, an anchor block can secure the seed platform and the plurality of feeder throats.

  • Publication number: 20030005888
    Abstract: Embodiments of a new repairable wooden bird feeder are disclosed, permitting easy replacement of any part while retaining its structural form. It allows virtually hands off filling of large quantities of birdseed quickly and with little waste. The roof structure and associated parts are designed so that water will not penetrate into the seed bins. Seed is dispensed from two separate bins with four independent seed access ports that can be volume and size regulated. The chimney caps have four independent moisture vapor venting air channels that keep the seed in the bins dry and moisture from condensing on the interior seed bin walls. The bin separator compensates for the expansion and contraction of the wood structure, so that bird feeder maintains its structural integrity.
