The extension member of the inner drop tube member is capable of extending through the oval-shaped opening The reinforcing members , are preferably positioned on either side of the oval-shaped opening It should be noted that the configuration of the inner drop tube actuator [] a maybe formed to fit over and move linearly over various types of feed supply conduits.
Attention is directed to inner drop tube actuator [] b and FIGS. When the inner drop tube actuator b is moved arcuately, the inner drop tube member is forced to rotate within the outer drop tube member for reasons which will be discussed further herein.

The inner drop tube actuator [] c includes a first fastening member and a nut member The first fastening member [] includes a base portion , a threaded shank portion , and a snap-in extension The base portion preferably has a first face and a second face The second face is provided perpendicular to the first face The threaded shank portion [] extends outwardly from the first face of the base portion The threaded shank portion has a slot provided therethrough which extends from an end thereof toward the first face of the base portion The snap-in extension [] extends outwardly from the second face of the base portion such that the snap-in extension is perpendicular to the threaded shank portion At an end of the snap-in extension opposite of the second face of the base portion , the snap-in extension has a pair of flexible prong members , which are separated from one another by a crevice Each of the prong members , has a protrusion , extending perpendicularly outwardly therefrom proximate to the end of the snap-in extension opposite the second face of the base portion , such that shoulders , are provided on each of the prong members , The aperture is sized such that the threaded shank portion of the first fastening member can be inserted therein and engage with the aperture wall The structure and parts of the feeder assembly [] as described hereinabove have numerous advantages over feeder assemblies of the prior art which will be discussed in connection with the operation of the feeder assembly hereinbelow.
In order to utilize the feeder assembly [] , the parts of the feeder assembly must first be assembled to that as best illustrated in FIGS. The inner drop tube member [] is positioned within the aperture of the member of the outer drop tube member with the bottom surface of the ring member of the inner drop tube member being positioned on the ledges of the outer drop tube member The fifth portion of the inner drop tube member is positioned around the inner cylindrical portion of the outer drop tube member The conduit acceptor member [] of the outer drop tube member is positioned around the feed supply conduit with an opening not shown in the feed supply conduit being in communication with the apertures , , of the outer drop tube member When the inner drop tube actuator [] a is utilized see FIG.
The extension member extends through the aperture of the outer drop tube member and through the oval-shaped opening of the inner drop tube actuator a. When the inner drop tube actuator [] b is utilized see FIGS. The threaded shank portion of the first fastening member is then inserted through the aperture of the L-bracket and into the aperture of the extension member such that the threaded shank portion engages the aperture wall of the extension member The threaded shank portion is inserted into the aperture of the extension member until the head portion of the first fastening member abuts against the first member of the L-bracket Thus, the L-bracket is secured to the inner drop tube member The threaded shank portion of the second fastening member is then inserted through the aperture of the second member of the L-bracket until the head portion abuts against the second member of the L-bracket The nut member is then threadedly attached to the second fastening member with the extension member of the nut member being positioned within the slot of the second fastening member When the inner drop tube actuator [] c is utilized see FIG.
The prong members , of the inner drop tube actuator c are flexed inwardly and inserted into the aperture of the extension member The protrusions , of the prong members , are configured to fit within the wider diameter portion of the aperture of the extension member such that the prong members , are unflexed and are secured within the aperture of the extension member with the shoulders , of the prong members , being abutted against the shoulder of the extension member The nut member is then threadedly attached to the threaded shank portion of the first fastening member with the extension member of the nut member being positioned within the slot of the threaded shank portion The grill member [] is positioned around, and connected to, the outer drop tube member The helical thread of the grill member is positioned between the helical threads , of the outer drop tube member such that the grill member can be rotatably moved relative to the outer drop tube member The protrusions on the outer drop tube member are temporarily locked into position within the grooves of the grill member The grill member [] is connected to the pan member The upstanding outer portion of the pan member is positioned within the pocket of the grill member and is locked to the pan member by the tab member of the grill member being positioned within the recess of one of the extensions of the pan member As there are a plurality of extensions around the circumference of the pan member , the tab member can be positioned within the recess of any one of the extensions on the pan member , thus allowing for the easy connection of the grill member to the pan member as the grill member and the pan member need not be rotated relative to one another by more than sixty 60 degrees, in the preferred embodiment, in order to connect the grill member to the pan member The upstanding inner portion [] of the pan member extends up into the aperture of the inner drop tube member and the aperture of the outer drop tube member The wing members [] of the outer drop tube member are preferably positioned above the base portion of the pan member such that the apertures , of the inner and outer drop tube members , , respectively, are in communication with the pan member to define a first or lower gate G- 1 which is preferably always provided for in the feeder assembly The positioning of the wing members [] which extend over the pan member helps to reduce the amount of feed presented in the pan member which the birds are capable of raking as the raking of feed can potentially cause the feed to become contaminated.
Thus, because the birds cannot rake feed presented in the pan member as freely as they could in some pan members of the prior art, the birds cannot rake the feed out of the pan member onto the feeding surface of the poultry house where the feed will come into contact with waste and dirt, thus contaminating the feed.
Thus, the positioning of the wing members [] within or on the pan member provides a number of advantages and benefits to the overall growth and health of the birds, and to the poultry grower's costs and expenses involved in growing the birds. In accordance with the invention, the feeder assembly [] can be used to present feed to birds of any size, whether they be young, small, immature birds, or older, larger, more mature birds. When birds are young and small, the birds typically require a generally high feed level in the pan member so that the birds can find the feed and gain access to the feed.
As the birds grow older and larger, the birds are able to find and gain access to the feed from interior portions of the pan member and can obtain feed from raised pan members if necessary. Thus, it is very desirable to be able to configure the feed level within the pan member to any number of different heights, regardless of whether the feeder assemblies are positioned on the feeding surface or are raised off of the feeding surface.
The height of the lower feed gate G- [] 1 can be adjusted, as desired by the poultry grower. The indicators on the grill member , when in alignment with the arrow indicator from the outer drop tube member , identify the height of the lower feed gate G- 1. The arrow indicator and the indicators allow for the easy sight adjustment of the height of the lower feed gate G- 1 by the poultry grower, as well as also ensure to the poultry grower that the feeder is positively locked in such a position.
It should be noted that if the wing members were not provided on the outer drop tube member , and if the helical threads , , were configured properly, the lower feed gate G- 1 could be closed as the bottom end of the member could be positioned on the base portion of the pan member In order for the poultry grower to increase the height of the lower feed gate G- [] 1 to provide more feed within the pan member and to provide a higher feed level within the pan member , the poultry grower rotates the grill member relative to the outer drop tube member , which is rotationally stable, such that the helical thread of the grill member rotates downwardly within and between the helical threads , of the outer drop tube member , thus rotating the grill member downwardly relative to the outer drop tube member At the same time, the protrusions on the outer drop tube member are capable of being flexed inwardly and out of the grooves of the grill member , as it is provided for on a retractable portion of the outer drop tube member As the grill member is rotated downwardly relative to the outer drop tube member , the protrusions will again protract into other grooves of the grill member to help retain the outer drop tube member in the desired position based on the desired height of the lower feed gate G- 1.
The adjustment of the lower feed gate G- [] 1 is performed without the lowering of the feeder assembly to the feeding surface or the raising of the feeder assembly off of the feeding surface.
Rather, the poultry grower need only manipulate an exterior portion of the grill member in order to change the size of the lower feed gate G- 1.
Thus, adjustment is facilitated and possible injuries to the poultry grower are eliminated as the poultry grower does not need to reach within the feeder assembly.
With the feeder assembly [] , the poultry grower has the option of presenting the feed in the pan member to the birds anywhere from a high feed level to a low feed level.
The low feed level is presented to the birds in the pan member [] when the windows of the inner drop tube member are not in alignment with the windows of the outer drop tube member Thus, when the windows , are not in alignment with one another, the windows are sealed off by the first, second and third portions , , of the inner drop tube member , forcing the feed to flow only through the lower feed gate G- 1.
In order to present a higher feed level to the birds in the pan member [] , a second or upper feed gate G- 2 is provided in the feeder assembly by aligning the windows of the inner drop tube member with the windows of the outer drop tube member The upper feed gate G- 2 is preferably a variable or adjustable feed gate as the feed level presented by the upper feed gate G- 2 can be transitioned from a high level of feed to a low level of feed, with the low level of feed still being higher than the feed level provided by the lower feed gate G- 1.
The upper feed gate G- 2 , however, could be provided such that it is not a variable feed gate by changing the configuration of either of the windows , Preferably, for the highest feed level to be presented in the pan member [] , the inner drop tube member is rotated within and relative to the outer drop tube member such that the windows of the inner drop tube member 10 are positioned into alignment with an upper portion of the windows of the outer drop tube member , proximate to the first, second, third, sixth and seventh edges , , , , such that feed flows through the upper feed gate G- 2 and into the pan member , as illustrated in FIGS.
The highest feed level will typically be utilized for very young and small birds. In order to lower the feed level from the high feed level, but still provide a feed level that is higher than the feed level provided by the lower feed gate G- [] 1 , the inner drop tube member is again rotated within and relative to the outer drop tube member such that the windows of the inner drop tube member are positioned into alignment with a lower portion of the windows of the outer drop tube member , proximate to the third, fourth, fifth and sixth edges , , , such that feed flows through the upper feed gate G- 2 and into the pan member , as illustrated in FIGS.
By lowering the feed level even further, the inner drop tube member [] is again preferably rotated within and relative to the outer drop tube member such that the windows of the outer drop tube member are not in alignment with the windows of the inner drop tube member , thus forcing the feed to flow through the lower feed gate G- 1 and into the pan member , as illustrated in FIGS. This level would typically be utilized as the birds grow older and larger. Thus, the upper feed gate G- 2 is preferably closed from the top down, although the rotation of the inner drop tube member relative to the outer drop tube member could be caused to close the upper feed gate G- 2 from the bottom up.
No matter what position the upper feed gate G- [] 2 is positioned in, i. Of course, as the inner drop tube member can be selectively adjusted to precisely position the amount and location of feed in the pan member in a plurality of different positions, other than those heretofore discussed and which are merely representative positions for discussion and illustration purposes, relative to the outer drop tube member , the upper feed gate G- 2 can thus, likewise, have a plurality of different positions such that the upper feed gate G- 2 is, in essence, a variable feed gate such that the poultry grower can provide a smooth transition of feed from a high feed level to a low feed level.
Of course, more positions of the inner drop tube member relative to the outer drop tube member can also be provided by changing the shape or configuration of the windows , to provide different feed levels in the pan member It should be noted that the configuration of the windows [] of the outer drop tube member could be provided for on the inner drop tube member , in place of the windows thereof, while the windows of the inner drop tube member could be provided for on the outer drop tube member , in place of the windows thereof, if desired, as the same function would be performed and the same result achieved as the described preferred embodiment.
Thus, the adjustable upper and lower feed gates G- [] 2 , G- 1 provide numerous advantages and benefits over feeder assemblies of the prior art. For instance, the windows of the outer drop tube member allow poultry growers to utilize a smooth transition from a high feed level, where feed flows through the variable upper feed gate G- 2 and the lower feed gate G- 1 , to a low feed level, where feed flows only through the lower feed gate G- 1.
Prior art feeder assemblies having upper feed gates did not have practical means to allow for the poultry grower to make a smooth transition from a high feed level to a low feed level in accordance with the size and age of the birds.
Contrarily, prior art feed assemblies, as a practical matter, only allowed for either a high feed level or a low feed level by vertically moving parts of the feeder assemblies to either open or close the upper feed gate. The upper feed gate G- [] 2 can also be utilized regardless of whether the feeder assembly is raised off of, or lowered to, the feeding surface.
Contrarily, prior art feeder assemblies typically activated the upper feed gate by removing the feeder assembly from the feeding surface.
This feature of the feeder assembly allows for a number of different management styles to be utilized by the poultry growers depending on their preferences. For instance, in some parts of the world, poultry growers typically prefer to raise feeder assemblies off of the feeding surface prior to the closing of the upper feed gates.
In contrast, in the United States of America, poultry growers typically prefer to close the upper feed gates prior to the raising of the feeder assemblies off of the feeding surface. In any event, the poultry grower has numerous possibilities and configurations of how to present the feed to the birds, regardless of the size or age of the birds, with the upper feed gate G- 2 being variable and adjustable, the lower feed gate G- 1 being adjustable, and the feeder assembly capable of being raised off of the feeding surface, all of which function independently of the other.
The poultry grower could also open the upper feed gate G- [] 2 to any desired position, when it would normally be closed, in order to stimulate the eating of the feed by older birds, as it would give them a short term high feed level. Also, in the preferred embodiment, by providing the feeder assembly [] with a lower gate G- 1 which is always open, feed is always allowed to flow through the feed supply conduit , into the apertures , of the outer drop tube member , into the aperture of the inner drop tube member , and through the lower feed gate G- 1 to the pan member Prior art feeder assemblies that utilized both upper and lower feed gates typically only allowed the feed to flow through one of the gates.
The upstanding cone or inner portion [] of the pan member extends higher from the base portion of the pan member than do cones of many prior art pan members. The cone of the pan member preferably extends to a height that is higher than the height of the windows , of the outer and inner drop tube members , in order to promote a high level of feed out of the upper feed gates G- 2 as the feed will cascade downwardly and outwardly toward the upper feed gates G- 2 after it comes into contact with the cone of the pan member , as best illustrated in FIGS.
As explained hereinabove, three different types of inner drop tube actuators [] a , b , c can be used to rotate the inner drop tube member With regard to inner drop tube actuator [] a , and as explained hereinabove, the extension member of the inner drop tube member extends through the aperture of the outer drop tube member and through the oval-shaped opening of the inner drop tube actuator a.
The inner drop tube actuator a is also capable of being linearly moved along the length of the feed supply conduit , but linear movement of the inner drop tube actuator a along the feed supply conduit is limited by the conduit acceptor member of the outer drop tube member , as best illustrated in FIG. In order to actuate the rotation of the inner drop tube member [] to adjust or vary the position of the upper feed gate G- 2 , as described hereinabove, the poultry grower moves the inner drop tube actuator a linearly along the length of the feed supply conduit Linear movement of the inner drop tube actuator a forces movement of the extension member of the inner drop tube member within the aperture of the outer drop tube member As the aperture of the outer drop tube member is arcuate, the extension member rotates around the aperture of the outer drop tube member , thus, forcing the remainder of the inner drop tube member to rotate.
The rotation of the inner drop tube member provides for the adjustment or varying of the position of the upper feed gate G- 2 by forcing the windows of the inner drop tube member to be in or out of alignment with the windows of the outer drop tube member The actuation of the inner drop tube member [] to control the positioning of the windows relative to the windows of the outer drop tube member can be done in a number of manners.
In a first manner, a poultry grower can string cables from the circular cylindrical members of the first and second end members , of the inner drop tube actuator a. The cables can then be moved to different positions to force the inner drop tube actuator a to be linearly moved to different positions to force the inner drop tube actuator a to be linearly moved along the feed supply conduit , thus rotating the inner drop tube member Such an operation would be preferably used mainly in connection with the movement of a single feeder assembly In a second manner a lever can be connected to the inner drop tube actuator a to actuate the inner drop tube member Such an operation would be preferably used mainly in connection with the movement of either a partial or total system of feeder assemblies In a third manner, the inner drop tube actuator a can be connected to an electronics module that would be preprogrammed to linearly move the inner drop tube actuator a along the feed supply conduit in a desired manner.
Such an operation would be preferably used mainly in connection with the movement of an entire system of feeder assemblies With regard to the inner drop tube actuator [] b , and as explained hereinabove, the first fastening member secures the L-bracket to the extension member of the inner drop tube member Thus, in order to actuate the rotation of the inner drop tube member to adjust or vary the position of the upper feed gate G- 2 , as described hereinabove, the poultry grower moves the inner drop tube actuator b.
The actuation of the inner drop tube member [] to control the positioning of the windows relative to the windows of the outer drop tube member is preferably done by the poultry grower stringing cables through the slots of the second fastening member , inserting the threaded shank portion of the second fastening member through the aperture of the second member of the L-bracket , and then securing the nut member over the threaded shank portion of the second fastening member By securing the nut member over the threaded shank portion of the second fastening member , the extension member contacts the cable strung through the slot and secures it within the slot The cables can then be moved to different positions to force the inner drop tube actuator b to be moved to different positions, thus rotating the inner drop tube member Of course, it is to be understood that other similar constructions of the inner drop tube actuator b could also be utilized to rotate the inner drop tube member With regard to inner drop tube actuator [] c , and as explained hereinbelow, the prong members , secure the fastening member to the extension member of the inner drop tube member Thus, in order to actuate the rotation of the inner drop tube member to adjust or vary the position of the upper feed gate G- 2 , as described hereinabove, the poultry grower moves the inner drop tube actuator c.
The actuation of the inner drop tube member [] to control the positioning of the windows relative to the windows of the outer drop tube member is preferably done by the poultry grower stringing cables through the slots of the threaded shank portions of the fastening members , and then securing the nut member over the threaded shank portion Bisley Office Furniture.
