  • Patent number: 7055459
    Abstract: An animal feed dispenser is disclosed with a cabinet mounted feed support shelf pivots between a feed support and discharge positions. A release member can engage and disengage the feed support shelf to hold the feed support shelf in the feed support position and release the shelf to move to the feed discharge position. A frame mounts the shelf for movement between a substantially horizontal feed loading position and a substantially upright operative position. The shelves can be pivoted up from the feed discharge positions during loading with the frame in the feed loading position. In another aspect, plural shelves are mounted within the cabinet in an elevational array and are supported one against another until release members move to allow movement of each to the feed discharge position. A further aspect includes a manger that can be selectively mounted to the cabinet to face different directions.
