Patent number: 6536373Abstract: An animal feeder for delivery of feed to at least one animal. The animal feeder includes a pair of opposed, downwardly sloping sidewalls and a pair of opposed endwalls coupled to the opposed, downwardly sloping sidewalls. The pair of opposed, downwardly sloping sidewalls and the pair of endwalls defining an opening. A dust cover covers at least a portion of the opening, such that opposed peripheral edges of the dust cover are supported by contact with opposed inside surfaces of the pair of opposed, downwardly sloping sidewalls, such that the dust cover reduces airborne particulates generated by receiving feed through the opening.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2001Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: Staco, Inc.Inventors: Paul J.
