Abstract: A feeding device includes a casing with a bottom and a container above the bottom. The bottom has a first opening extending therethrough while the container has an outlet adjacent to the bottom which lies on a straight line drawn across the first opening of the bottom. A food-carrying plate is provided between the container and the bottom and has a second opening which is aligned with the outlet of the container. An inverted U-shaped covering member includes a base disposed above the plate and has two arms connected to the bottom. The container is mounted on the base of the covering member. The covering member has a third opening formed through the base. The third opening is communicated with the outlet of the container and is aligned with the second opening of the food-carrying plate when the latter is not activated.

Abstract: A casing has a rotary plate which divides the casing into an upper portion and a lower portion and a driving unit to rotate the rotary plate. The rotary plate has a first opening formed through it. The upper portion has a container holding a feeding stock and the lower portion has a top plate with a second opening through it. The container has an outlet which aligned with the first opening of the rotary plate when the rotary plate is rotated to a first position and a second position where the first opening of the rotary plate is aligned with the second opening of the top plate of the lower portion.
