Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bird feeder, specifically refers to a small bird feeder or in primary stages of its growth.
- the presented feeder has the capacity to be coupled to an automatic feeding system, being a potential field of application a technified poultry production site, with the purpose of being used as a reservoir and feeding source, mainly for consumption birds that are found on the floor or inside a cage and that it is necessary to feed continuously.
- an automatic feeding system being a potential field of application a technified poultry production site, with the purpose of being used as a reservoir and feeding source, mainly for consumption birds that are found on the floor or inside a cage and that it is necessary to feed continuously.
- birds such as chickens their typical use includes a period of time that goes from the first week of age to the third week of age, having the option of being used in older birds and different avian species.
- the technified premises are the most used worldwide, with 75% of commercial farms worldwide, producing more than fifty billion birds per year to produce meat.
- the technified production sites have automation in all their systems necessary for intensive production, such as; feeder system, coupling trough system, suspension systems for feeders and troughs, air conditioning systems, among others.
- traditional or non-technical premises are rudimentary and conventional premises, they use manual equipment such as hanging feeders and hanging bell-type drinking troughs, manual ignition heaters, manual curtains, all of them totally depending on human supervision at all times for proper operation. .
- the production of the birds comprises between four to six stages.
- the production of poultry to produce meat usually ends between the fifth and ninth week of age depending on the specific type of poultry demanded by the market.
- the most important and critical stage of the bird's life is the initiation and growth stage (to which the present invention is focused), which comprises the first three weeks of life, being the first two weeks, the most important and representing up to a 30% of the bird's life, which is when the newborn birds leave the hatchery and arrive at the production site where they have to learn to eat and drink quickly and because of their body and immunological immaturity, it is required to provide strict environmental control and sanitary, which, otherwise, would result in a large delay in development and increased mortality in birds.
- the most important input in this industry is the food for the bird, which is provided in bulk, which represents 75% of the total production costs, being the most relevant factor to ration and that any action that is aimed at maximizing the use of food will result in greater productive efficiency, increasing the economic benefit for the poultry producer.
- the "floor feeding system” is the traditional way of feeding the chickens in their first weeks of life, which consists in supplying the food on the floor without any restrictions, presenting a number of disadvantages and problems, such as the high risk of contamination (and therefore of disease diffusion), food waste, low food consumption, low production efficiency and high production costs, impacting the efficiency of the poultry producer. It has been observed that the "Floor feeding system” is an important factor in the transmission of serious infections to humans, so it has taken a relevant interest as a public health problem. In spite of the fact that technified production sites have automatic feeding systems, through automatic feeders, these are not designed to feed the birds correctly during their first weeks of age, so much of the above-mentioned problems such as Food contamination and low productivity.
- Non-automatic type, not connected feeders which include plastic / cardboard trays, strips of paper mat, direct floor and cylindrical manual feeders.
- Feeders of the automatic type are generally rounded, although there are feeders of different shapes and sizes, oval, triangular, hexagonal, square and rectangular but none rectangular-rounded, that is, rectangular with rounded ends, such as shows the feeder of the present invention.
- a common problem is that automatic feeders occupy a large space within the production site, so a smaller number of birds per square meter is placed, reducing productivity.
- the feeders that have oval corners or edges cause a great conflict for the birds at the time of feeding since they are disputed and fight for the same space to eat, so that the food consumption is noticeably lower and therefore the Production results are not satisfactory.
- the plastic / metal / cardboard trays are generally rounded or rectangular, having a low height, suitable to allow birds from the first day of age, to easily climb and eat inside it, having contamination, food waste, disease spread by allowing birds to walk and even sleep inside the feeder, also stealing space for other birds to eat.
- the existing automatic feeders have the disadvantages of allowing the birds to enter the dish, to walk on the food (contaminating and wasting it), to rest or end up sleeping inside the dish.
- Patent ES 238,056 entitled “Improved Dosing Hopper, For Bird Feeding” which is a utility model, although it is in the state of the art of the present invention, the configuration and way of feeding the product to the hopper, differ significantly from those used in the present invention.
- Patent ES2, 1 17,148, entitled “Poultry feeding device” is also known. This device is circular in shape and the product is fed by an upper duct, but does not use a system like the one described in the present invention based on a choke.
- Patent ES2, 172,428, entitled “Poultry feeder” is of the type connectable to a horizontal tubular conduit (4), such as that of the present invention, for the bulk transport of poultry feed and comprises a main vertical tubular body (1), a feeding collar (6) integral, an outer cone (1), an inner cone (14), a vertical tubular distributor body (17) and a plate (20) integral with each other, all of them coaxially arranged and adapted so that the level change of the horizontal tubular conduit (4) causes the sliding of the main vertical tubular body (1) with respect to the distributor vertical tubular body (17) , producing the unloading of feed in the plate (20) through lateral openings (5, 6, 18) which are provided with the main vertical tubular body (1), the inner cone (14) and the vertical distributor tubular body (17), or alternatively through lower openings of the vertical tubular distributor body (17).
- the feeder can be placed in two positions, the feeding and cleaning.
- the present invention comprises a valve for feeding the product to the feeder, while the ⁇ 48 patent requires that the horizontal feeding tube be raised, which implies that the feeding is carried out at same time at each feeder regardless of whether it is required in any particular or not.
- the ES2,219,583 patent granted to Rouck refers to an oval feeder, the differences in the way of attaching the feeder to the feeding tube and the way of distributing the food to the plate are obviously different with respect to the present invention.
- the outer shape of the plate is similar to the shape of the plate of the present invention, however, as will be detailed below, the differences between both configurations are decisive for a better functioning of the feeder of the present invention.
- the feeder must have sufficient characteristics to be used under any type of use, such as in production premises where the birds are on the floor, in production sites where the birds are in a cage, such as "Complementary feeder", such as “Supplementary feeder” or when the feeder is used mixed, having the ability to achieve greater efficiency in the feeding and productivity of the birds, mainly during the first three weeks of life, although it can be used in later stages or other avian species , provided that their height is such that it prevents them from entering the feeder.
- Complementary feeder All such power supply is defined as: Plastic trays, paper strips, independent cylindrical feeders, etc. which is located between the automatic feeders either below the automatic feeding tube or next to it, so that food assortment is done automatically or manually as appropriate.
- a bird feeder of the type adjustable to an automatic feeding system, inside a technified production room, which prevents birds from entering the feeder and stepping on the food inside the feeder by contaminating it and falling asleep within him but they can feed.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a feeder with a mechanism by means of which it can be maintained in at least three fixed positions, above the level of the feeding tube once the birds have passed to higher growth stages.
- the feeder must also have the ability to be fixed in two different different positions, 130 ° to 150 ° and 150 ° -170 ° with respect to the horizontal.
- a bird feeder that can be used in birds that are both on the floor and inside a cage.
- a bird feeder that functions as a "complementary feeder that is defined as a feeder that is placed below the lines of automatic feeding between feeders automatic type of those already known and existing; as a “supplementary feeder”, which is defined as a feeder that is placed independently to the feeders of the automatic type of those already known and existing, suspended below its own automatic feeding lines; as a combination of the previous two options, that is, both as a "complementary feeder and a supplementary feeder”and; as a single feeder, which is defined as the only existing feeder within the single power supply production site, which is placed under its own automatic feeding lines and without any other feeder / dish being present.
- the feeder object of the invention is of the type connectable to an existing automatic feeding system, focused on the feeding of birds from the first day of life until 3 weeks or 21 days of age, approximately, although it can be used with older birds and in other avian species on condition that they cannot be introduced, due to their size, into the feeder plate.
- the bird feeder of the present invention comprises the following elements: clamp, clamp throat, shutter, hopper and plate.
- the plate of the bird feeder has a rectangular shape with rounded lateral and lateral ends occupying a smaller space inside the production room managing to place more birds per square meter thus increasing production.
- the feeder allows the birds a better distribution of birds around it and a greater feeding area among the birds, avoiding competition between them and stimulating food consumption.
- the feeder can be used in production premises with level floors, uneven floors or when accompanying as a complementary feeder to any type of automatic feeders of those already known and existing, since it has a sliding clamp throat that allows it to adapt to any surface and at any height when it accompanies the automatic feeders without hindering the operation of both.
- the feeder has a sliding shutter used to prevent or allow the passage of food to the feeder from the feeding tube.

- left, right, posterior, frontal, upper and lower are merely auxiliary to the description of the invention and should not be limiting the position of the feeder or its orientation.
- the front view of the feeder is a mirror image of the rear view and the side views are mirror images of each other.
- the bird feeder of the present invention refers to a device that will serve to store food and be a food metering component mainly for birds that are on the floor or in a cage, which require continuous, efficient, distributed feeding. hygienic and safe, mainly during its initiation period, which includes from the first day of age until twenty-one days of age, although it can be used in adult birds or other avian species.
- the feeder of the present invention can be placed on any type of floor, uneven, level and trellised floors, thanks to its rectangular geometry with rounded front and rear ends, it occupies a smaller physical space within the premises of technical production and at the same time offers a greater feeding area, managing to feed and produce a greater number of birds per square meter, which will result in a significantly greater production of birds and a greater production of meat per bird / food consumed.
- the bird feeder shown in fig. 1 comprises: a bifurcated clamp (100) shown in detail in figs. 6 to 13; a bifurcated clamp throat (200) shown in figure (14); a shutter (300) shown in detail in figs. 20 to 23; a hopper (400) shown in detail in figs. 17-19 and a food receiving plate (500), shown in figs. 15 and 16.
- the clamp (100) generally cylindrical shown in Figs.
- each half of the clamp comprises three sections: upper left side (101 a) lower left side (102a); upper central (101 b), lower central (102b); upper right side (10 c), lower right side (02c) see figs. 6, 8 and 13, for example.
- the central sections being the ones with the greatest width and diameter.
- the flanges (103) that divide the central sections are larger in diameter than the flanges of the lateral ends (103a, 103b).
- the flanges (103) comprise a projection or stop (103c) which serves as the maximum safety stop when the feeder must move to the rest / wash and disinfected position.
- a projection or stop (103c) which serves as the maximum safety stop when the feeder must move to the rest / wash and disinfected position.
- the flange (103b) in the lower part of the clamp has been omitted, just by the side where the shutter enters.
- the upper half (101) (fig. 3) of the clamp comprises two semicircular tabs (104), and the lower half (102) comprises two projections (105) with two slots each.
- Each flange (104) is inserted into each first groove (105a) of each projection (105), to be assembled and form the clamp (100), which is kept closed by means of corresponding nut threads or similar fasteners (no shown).
- the second grooves (05b) are used to allow the clamp to be completely closed by receiving the front edge of the flange. Both slots are separated by means of a bolt (105c), which also serves as a pivot axis for the flange (104).
- the upper central ratchet section (101 b) in turn comprises a central ratchet slot (106) that houses at least two, preferably three, ratchet-like projections (106a) and their corresponding depressions (106b). These ratchets work together with a projection (201 a) located on the inner side of the throat (200) (see fig. 14) in order to fix the feeder (100) in one of the two or three positions, for storage in site or cleaning.
- the upper central section (101 b) further comprises two completely smooth circular surfaces (107) having a diameter greater than that of the central ratchet slot (106). Both circular surfaces (107) serve as support areas of rotation for the clamping throat (200).
- the width of the upper central section (101 b) corresponds to the total external width of the parts (201, 202) of the clamping throat (200).
- the upper half (101) further comprises, in each of the upper end sections (101 a) and (101 c), a grooves (109), which have a rounded rectangular figure with lateral gaps, in these gaps are placed flexible material inserts (not shown) which make contact with the feeding tube and have the function of preventing the clamp from sliding when the feeding tube is of the smooth type. Similarly, it comprises two holes (1 10) to indicate the position of the clamp.
- the present feeder can be used in plain or eyebrow automatic feeding tubes.
- the eyebrow tubes have as an important feature the understanding of a side tube which serves as a means of dragging the feeder when turning the tube (if desired).
- a groove (11 1) is also incorporated so that it can be coupled to the side tube and can be used with this type of eyebrow tubes although the present feeder can also be used with plain tubes.
- Figs. 1 1 and 12 are views of the internal parts of the clamp, in them it can be seen that the internal configuration generally follows the external shape, that is, the projections and depressions seen on the outside are also observed in the part internal of the clamp.
- the numeral (300a) designates the slot through which the shutter (300) passes.
- the shutter comprising an aperture sized and configured to work together with the opening (1 12) of the clamp slides longitudinally through this slot.
- Figure 13 is a bottom plan view of the lower clamp where many structures already described are shown. The most important is the central part where the opening (1 12) is located in the center.
- the stop and rest (115) of the shutter can be seen. Once the shutter (200) travels all its way into the clamp, it rests on this stop so as to support it and prevent it from coming out of the clamp.
- the shutter serves to allow or prevent the passage of food to the trough. Another way to preventing the passage of food to the feeder is by turning the feeder so that the outlet (112) cannot be used.
- projections (108) are provided in order to hold the halves (101) and (102) in a removable manner. These projections each comprise a perforation (108a) so that, through them, a thyme is passed which will be threaded to a nut (not shown).
- One or both sides of the projections (108) comprise, in depression, the shape of the nut in order to decrease the number of tools used for the assembly of the clamp.
- the lower half of the clamp (102) comprises an opening (112) of rectangular, oval or cylindrical shape as required by the design of the feeder (see fig. 11), although rectangular or square perforations are preferred.
- the groove (111) runs parallel to the length of the feed tube and for the entire length of the clamp (100).
- Both the upper half (101) and the lower half (102) of the clamp comprise, in the respective intermediate sections (101b) and (102b), a depression (113), in the form of a rectangular wedge, located at the junction between the two halves (101) and (102), horizontally just between the projections (108).
- This depression (113) allows a clamping throat clamping screw inserted in the projections (205) to be screwed without interference by the outer body of the clamp.
- the hole (114) formed by the union of the two halves (101) and (102) has the dimensions to adapt to the feeding tube in an adjusted assembly so as not to allow free rotation of the clamp.
- the clamp can rotate if and only if the feed tube is rotated (if it is coupled to a tube with a drag line). But this is an inconvenience because it would imply that, if there are more feeders coupled to the feed line, then all must be turned in the same proportion and in the same direction, which is not convenient in practice since, as indicated,
- the feeders of the present invention can be feeders that are interspersed between bird feeders at later stages of development.
- the clamping throat (200) was developed. The functions of the clamping throat (200) are to hold the clamp, allow and control the passage of food to the plate and allow the feeder to rotate individually with respect to the rest of the feeders placed in the feeding tube.
- the throat (200) is divided into two parts: (201) and (202) throat.
- the first part (201) comprises an upper portion (203) of generally cylindrical shape and a second lower section (204) of generally rectangular shape, with an intermediate transition portion between the parts (203) and (204).
- the second part (202) also comprises an upper portion (203a) of generally cylindrical shape and a second lower portion of generally rectangular shape (204a), with a transition zone between the portions (203a) and (204a).
- the upper portion (203) hugs the central sections (101 b) and (102b) of the clamp (100), slidably, that is, clamps the clamp in the central sections but at the same time allows the rotation of such clamp with with respect to the throat (200).
- the surface area of this upper portion (203) covers approximately 75% + 25% of the surface of the central sections (101 b) and (102b) of the clamp although larger and smaller percentages can be used, provided that the process Assembly of the feeder and its assembly to the feeding tube are not affected.
- the lower portion (203a) hugs the same sections (101 b) and (102) but in the rest of the periphery not covered by the upper portion (203).
- both the upper (203) and the lower (203a) portions are limited by irregularly projecting flanges (206) in order to prevent the edges of these projections from overlapping with the edges (103) during operation. ) of the clamp.
- the flange (103) of the clamp comprises a projection (103c) which collides with a stop (206a) located at the side of the projection (206) so that when the feeder is rotated around the feeding tube, such rotation is limited in its maximum amplitude by the collision of these two elements.
- the feeder can rotate and remain in two positions. This rotation is limited from 130 ° to 150 ° and from 150 ° to 170 ° with respect to the horizontal.
- a ratchet system has been designed, where The teeth are located in the groove (106) of the clamp (100) and are represented by the teeth (106a) and their corresponding depressions (106b).
- the rectangular lower portion (204) has two pairs of staples or spikes (207) and two pairs of staples or spikes (208), which are inserted into respective slots (207a) and (208a) located in the lower portion (204a). It is preferred that the assembly (208-208b) be larger than the assembly (207-207a). This type of assembly has been selected between the portions (201) and (202) because in this way the base of this lower portion (204) can be introduced into a corresponding hole (401) located in the hopper (400) and arm the clamping throat with both portions (201) and (202) already inside the perforation (401).
- the throat (200) comprises, at the lower end, of each of the portions (204) and (204a) a semi-cylindrical projection (209) corresponding in shape and dimensions with a projection (402) located in the borehole (401).
- a semicircular shutter (300) has been placed (see figs. 2-4, 20-23, for example).
- the shutter is placed just below the clamp (100) and horizontally crosses the clamping throat (200), the position of the shutter is such that once in working position, it is just below the inner floor of the clamp ( 100) there being only the thickness of the wall of the clamp as a separation between the feeding tube and this plug, seeking that this separation be as small as possible, preferring to make contact with one another.
- the longitudinal axis of the plug (300) is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the clamp (200) and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the plate (500).
- the shutter is generally long with a semicircular cross-section, whose radius is such that an upper surface thereof coincides in shape and dimensions to engage with the external surface lower center of the clamp, specifically with the opening (1 12).
- the shutter comprises a generally flat and long semicircular body (301) with a window (302), a handle (303), front and upper side flanges (304), a stop means (305), an upper surface (306) and a lower surface (307).
- the window (302) is located at the longitudinal end opposite to the handle (303), and comprises the stop means (305) on one or both side flanges (304).
- the upper surface (306) is concave and smooth so that it slides smoothly through a groove located in the clamp, for this the lateral edges are rounded and coincide with the shape of such a groove (8) located in the transition zone between the semicircular portion (201) and the rectangular portion (202) of the clamp (200).
- the or stop means (305) are sized to meet a corresponding projection (1 12a).
- the shutter (300) stops its stroke by contacting the stop means (305) with the projection (1 12a) and releases the passage of the feed through the opening (1 12) and, conversely, when it is in a second "no-pass” position, into the clamp, there is no contact between the medium (305) and the projection (1 12a) prevents the passage of food.
- the window (302) coincides in dimensions and configuration with those of the opening (1 12) of the clamp (100), so as to allow free or total or partial closing of the food when desired.
- the pull (303) is detached from the lower surface (307) and is offset from its longitudinal axis so as not to interfere with the throat (200).
- the clamp (100) is firmly attached to the feeding tube (not shown) and to the throat (200); the throat is fastened by weight, to the set of pieces formed by the hopper (400) and to the plate (500), being the only means of Hold the weight of the pieces and the food between the throat and the hopper when the plate is full.
- Figs. 17-19 show isolated views of the hopper (400) with its perforation (401) and the semi-cylindrical tabs (402) whose function is to provide stability to the assembly and form a larger cone of food inside the hopper whose shape and size help the uniform distribution of food around the plate (500).
- the perforation (401) has the function of receiving the external-inferior contour of the throat (200).
- the perforation (401) and the projecting flange (402) are located in the upper wall (403) of the hopper, which also comprises two parallel side walls (404) perpendicular to the upper face (403). It also includes a first inclined front wall (405) and a second rear wall with the same inclination as the first.
- each of the inclined walls (405) a small horizontal face or wall (406) continues that maintains the same dimensions of the faces (405) to finally join at the front end to a vertical front wall (407) and a vertical rear wall (408), which join forming a single perimeter.
- the vertical front walls, the upper one (403) the inclined front ones (405), the front and back vertical ones (407, 408), the horizontal ones (406) and the lateral ones (404) are joined together to form the hopper body.
- a series of separating fins in the form of a rounded square (409) are joined perimeter. These fins serve to separate the birds while feeding and not allow more than one to be located in the same space, even if it does not allow two birds to put their heads in the same space of the feeder.
- a mark can be placed on one of the faces of the hopper, for example in the attached figures a button has been included in the rear horizontal wall (406).
- the horizontal walls have the same numeral since they are symmetrical.
- the fins are placed at the bottom of the hopper and its bottom edge is located below the bottom edge of the hopper so that there is always a tolerance in the separation between the bottom edge of the hopper and the floor of the plate (500 ) (see fig. 19 for example).
- the joining edges between the different walls of the hopper (400) are rounded in order to prevent the accumulation of food and facilitate cleaning of the feeder, the same happens with the fins (409).
- the upper edges of the fins make contact with the internal perimeter flange of the plate to "load” it when it is in working position, that is, feeding the birds.
- the plate (500) comprises (fig. 15) side walls (501), rounded front and rear walls (502) and a bottom (503). All the walls have an inclination towards the center of the plate, that is to say with an angle less than 90 ° (acute angle) with respect to the vertical one (for view see fig. 24 and fig. 25) and an upper flange (504) the which has an inclined flange (505) at an angle greater than 90 degrees (obtuse angle) with respect to the vertical.
- the purpose of this flange is to prevent birds from getting hurt, not throwing food and not climbing into the feeder.
- the base has the appropriate height so that birds in their early stages of growth cannot jump on the feeder but at the same time they can feed properly.
- the bottom of the plate comprises an extruded area (506) centered on the plate with a pyramidal and triangular shape in cross section.
- the height of this projection coincides with the height of the flange (505), all the edges (internal and external) of the projection and the plate, have a rounded finish and the front (507) and rear walls (508) reduce their width towards the upper flange (504) of the extruded area (506), see fig. 24 and fig. 25.
- a feeder is made to note that the feeder of the present invention surprisingly was found that an oval-shaped feeder, such as that of the ES2 patent, 219,583, presents a lower efficiency with respect to a rectangular shape with frontal edges and rounded back like the one of the present invention.
- the maximum amounts of birds placed one after the other have been listed and, as can be seen in such figures, the feeder of the present invention can accommodate the same perimeter as that of the state of the art feeder, two more birds per feeder.
- the feeder of the present invention has another technical advantage because it prevents the birds that are behind the birds that are fed from trying to "get in” in the spaces that remain between bird and bird because such spaces are reduced due to the very arrangement of the birds around the feeder of the present invention.
- This new form of feeder improves animal welfare through improving the system of food distribution, bird distribution around the feeder, delimiting feeding spaces and living space when birds are not eating and ultimately improves production efficiency of birds reducing production costs per bird that has a ratio of birds per unit area greater than any of the feeders known to date.
- Fig. 26 the birds are distributed in a more uniform way and there are no areas of conflict for the birds to eat since mainly at the ends they are perfectly distributed what is known in the middle.
- fig. 27 of the feeder of the state of the art it is noted that in the extremes the area is reduced and there is a great conflict in "the corners" involving 4 birds where only 3 fit, but mainly the two chickens that eat at the ends are those that more compete for the same food since their heads stick to each other and when you eat one, the other stops eating because it has no space. This problem reduces the food consumption of some birds which is the most serious because the bird does not gain weight.
- the spatial references: posterior and frontal, lateral, left, right, etc., are relative terms that depend on the position of the feeder and the observer so they should not be taken as limiting but as an example of the description of the invention.
