A puzzle pet toy and treat dispenser comprising of a housing, a lid, an inner chamber, a drum aperture, a motor assembly, and an external chamber. The inner chamber is divided by a plurality of vertical radial walls, creating a plurality of containers formed by the inner surface of the vertical radial walls, a plurality of tangential walls parallel to the vertical surface of the drum aperture, the inner surface of the drum aperture, and the lid. The plurality of containers hold non-liquid pet treats, and an opening on the drum aperture aligned vertically with the tangential walls allows the pet treat on a given container to be released into the external chamber, where said treats can be dispensed outside of the pet toy and treat dispenser during play. A motor assembly rotates the drum aperture to the next opening, creating a revolver action to dispense the contents of the next chamber. The toy can be programmed to rotate the aperture at given time intervals, so the pet can receive treats on a predetermined schedule while the owner is away. The motor assembly also contains a means of noise generation during the rotating action to attract the pet to come and play with the toy. |

1. A puzzle pet toy and treat dispenser, comprising:
a. A motor assembly at the base of said pet toy and treat dispenser, said motor assembly having a power source, said power source having connected to at least one motor, said motor having connected to a printed circuit board (PCB), said PCB further having a power switch, LED indicator, and timer settings, said motor further having connected to a drivetrain, said drivetrain having connected to a clutch, said clutch having connected to a driveshaft; b. An inner chamber, said inner chamber having a base, said base having connected to a plurality of vertical radial walls dividing said inner chamber into separate containers, said separate containers each having a tangential wall, and said each tangential wall having an opening; c. A drum aperture, said drum aperture having a base and vertical wall with a substantially cylindrical shape, said base further having a drive shaft receiver and a plurality of actuators on the external surface of said base, said vertical wall further having an opening vertically aligned to the height of the radial wall of said separate containers; d. A lid, said lid having a plurality of dividers on the internal surface of the lid that is aligned with said vertical radial walls in said inner chamber; e. A housing, said housing having a receptacle at the base of the housing to receive said motor assembly, said housing having at least one opening to allow treats to be dispensed from the toy; f. An external chamber, having formed by the internal surface of said housing and the external surface of the drum aperture. |
