PELLETIZED ANIMAL FEED DISPENSER

摘要

This invention relates to a dispenser for pelletized animal feeds characterized by an overhead open-topped feed storage hopper opening into a hollow cylindrical bucket mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis above a discharge chute. The bucket has an elongate inlet opening in the top thereof having an inclined trailing edge that cooperates with an adjacent edge of the hopper wall to produce a scissor-like shearing action adapted to easily cut through any pellets trapped therebetween. The lower edge of the opposite hopper wall bordering the bucket is foreshortened to provide a gap which is bridged by a brush wiper.
