Bird feeder

摘要

A bird feeder of the tube-type having a vertically disposed hollow body portion formed of a clear plastic material. The body portion has a plurality of inverted, truncated funnel members or baffles positioned therein in a vertically spaced-apart relationship which maintain a certain amount of feed at that level even though the main feed supply has dropped below that funnel member or baffle. The baffles direct feed to feed openings formed in the body portion.

主权项

1. A bird feeder, comprising:
an elongated, hollow tubular member having a closed lower end, an upper end and an inside surface adapted to have bird feed placed therein; said tubular member being comprised of a transparent plastic material; said tubular member having a first row of vertically spaced-apart feed openings formed therein; said tubular member having a second row of vertically spaced-apart feed openings formed therein which are spaced from said feed openings in said first row of feed openings; said feed openings in said second row of feed openings being horizontally offset from said feed openings in said first row of feed openings but dwelling in the same vertical plane as said feed openings in said first row of feed openings; a plurality of vertically spaced baffle members positioned in said tubular member above said lower end thereof which maintain a certain amount of feed at that level in said tubular member even though the main supply of bird feed has dropped therebelow; each of said baffle members including a generally V-shaped skirt having first and second skirt portions with upper and lower ends; said first and second skirt portions of each of said baffle members being positioned closely to said inside surface of said tubular member; each of said first and second skirt portions of said V-shaped skirt of each of said baffle members also being V-shaped; said first skirt portion of said V-shaped skirt of each of said baffle members having a first elongated crease, with upper and lower ends, formed therein; said lower ends of said first elongated creases in said first skirt portions of said V-shaped skirt in each of said baffle members being positioned adjacent a feed opening in said first row of feed openings to direct feed towards that feed opening; said second skirt portion of said V-shaped skirt of each of said baffle members having a second elongated crease, with upper and lower ends, formed therein; said lower ends of said second elongated creases in said second skirt portions of said V-shaped skirt in each of said baffle members being positioned adjacent a feed opening in said second row of feed openings to direct feed towards that feed opening.
