Abstract
A poultry feeder (10) is disclosed comprising a generally vertically disposed feed tube (18) adapted to be installed on a generally horizontal feed conveyor tube (14) for receiving feed from the feed conveyor tube. The feed tube has an upper portion (26) fixed with respect to the feed conveyor tube and a lower portion (27) movable axially with respect to the upper portion between an extended position (as shown in Fig. 5) and a collapsed position (Fig. 6). A feed pan (23) is disposed below the bottom end of the feed tube for receiving feed. A lost motion connection (32) is provided between the feed pan and feed tube, with the lost motion connection including a generally vertically disposed rim (46) surrounding the outer portion of the feed pan and permitting relative movement between the feed pan and the feed tube between an extended position in which the feed tube is in its extended position and in which the rim extends up above the level of the feed pan thereby to aid in containing feed withing said feed pan and a lowered position in which the feed pan rests on the floor and in which the rim is lowered with respect to the feed pan thereby to lower the height of the feed pan so as to permit young chicks or the like to readily view feed deposited within the feed pan and to have access to the feed therein.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 13 October 1994 (13.10.94); original claim 6 amended; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages)]
feeder further comprising an outer control tube received on the exterior of said lower drop tube, said control tube having a lower edge and being axially adjustable with respect to said lower drop tube so as to selectively cover and uncover some or all of said discharge openings in said lower drop tube thereby to regulate the amount of feed discharged from said feed tube via said openings.
5. A poultry feeder having a drop tube adapted to be operatively connected to a feed conveyor such that said drop tube receives feed from said feed conveyor, a feed pan for receiving feed from said drop tube, a grill carried by said drop tube, said grill mounting said feed pan for movement relative to said grill between a raised position in which a portion of said grill extends up above the level of said feed pan thereby to aid in preventing poultry from raking feed from said feed pan and a lowered position in which said portion of said grill is moved down with respect to said pan such that the effective height of said feed is such that young poultry can readily see feed within said feed pan, said feed pan being carried by said grill in such manner as to not only permit movement of said feed pan relative to said grill between its raised and lowered positions, but also to permit angular movement of said feed pan with respect to said grill such as when said feed pan bears on a non-even floor, said grill being mounted on said drop tube in such manner as to permit limited rocking movement of said grill relative to said drop tube.
6. A poultry feeder which maximizes the amount of feed visually displayed to young baby chicks and yet which minimizes the quantity of feed stored within said feeder, said feeder having a feed pan, a drop tube for receiving feed from a feed conveyor and for discharging said feed into said feed pan, at least portions of said drop tube being engageable with said feed pan, said drop tube having at least one discharge slot in the bottom end thereof for discharging feed from said discharge slots and from the bottom of said drop tube into said feed pan, said drop tube being carried by said feed conveyor and having a first portion in fixed position with respect to said feed conveyor and a second portion in engagement with said feed pan with said first and second portions of said drop tube being telescopically movable relative to one another, said first portion of said drop tube being movable toward said second portion as said feed conveyor is lowered toward said feed pan thereby to minimize the amount of feed contained within said drop tube and being further movable away from said second portion of said drop tube as said feed conveyor is raised away from said
-40-
feed pan thereby to maximize the amount of feed contained within said drop tube, a control collar installed on said second portion of said drop tube and being adjustably movable in axial direction on said drop tube for regulating the flow of feed from said discharge slots in the bottom of said drop tube such that regardless of the relative position of said first and second drop tube portions relative to one another, upon said birds eating feed from said pan, all of said feed within said drop tube is delivered into said feed pan via said discharge slots in the bottom of said drop tube.
7. A poultry feeder (10) adapted to be installed on a feed conveyor
(14) in a poultry house (H) or the like, said feeder having a drop tube (18) adapted to be operative connected to said feed conveyor for receiving feed therefrom, a feed pan (23) for receiving feed from said drop tube, said feed pan having a feed pan base (34) and an upwardly extending sidewall (38), and a grill (25) received on said drop tube, said grill having a collar (44) adapted to receive said drop tube and a plurality of grill ribs (48) extending downwardly from said collar, a rim (46) carried by the lower ends of said grill ribs, said drop tube including an upper drop tube (26) and a lower drop tube (27) which are telescopic relative to one another, said lower drop tube having openings (22) therein for delivery of feed from said conveyor into said feed pan, said telescopic connection between said upper and lower drop tubes constituting a first lost motion connection (29) thereby to permit relative movement of said feed pan and said conveyor toward and away from one another, a second lost motion connection (32) between said feed pan and said grill for enabling relative vertical movement of said feed pan and said grill between a raised position and a lowered position, and a third lost motion connection (52) between said collar and said drop tube to permit relative vertical and rocking movement between said collar and said drop tube thereby to accommodate unevenness in the level of the floor of said poultry house.
8. A poultry feeder to be installed on a feed conveyor, the latter comprising a feed conveyor conduit through which feed is conveyed to one or more of said feeders, said feeder comprising a feed pan, a drop tube in communication with said feed conveyor conduit for receiving feed therefrom and for depositing said feed in said feed pan, means for supporting said feed pan, and means for adjusting said feed pan between a shallow depth pan position in which the depth of said feed pan facilitates a young chick to readily see feed deposited in said feed pan and a
