The present invention relates to a feeder or a regulation of the level of the feed, for large breeding birds, such as, in particular, turkeys. The problem that forms the basis of the invention is how to make a tunable feeder in series, in lines of distribution of the feed, in poultry houses, which is of high resistance and with which time is possible_%ef_%ec *** * tuar the regulation of the level of food with a simple tombstone maneuver achievable in a centralized position of the installation. This problem is solved with the bto jeto feeder of the present, which comprises a container plate suspended, supported by supporting arms joined '31 ·. * r \, straight to the horizontal tubular conduit of transport'íffsl · • ·· · + · feed, and an organ of distribution of the feed to the plate ^ / A ·? which is equipped with a regulator element of the level of the OS, operable by means of cables from a central position of the installation.

The object of the present invention constitutes a feeder for breeding birds and, more particularly for

twenty. you, of the type constituted by a circular plate, with regulation of the level of the feed, usable in series along the lines of distribution of the feed in poultry facilities. As is known, such distribution lines are each constituted by a tubular conduit 25. horizontal suspended on the ground, within which the feed is transported, by means of devices in snail configuration or the like, from a feed tank, aligned in series under it. The bowl of the eater is fed by a distribution organ of 30. I think, communicated with the tubular duct, constituted -: 'í^:¿^;i: ///: '///} i /

Currently, the regulation of the level of the feed * in the dish is carried out by intervening singularly in qad ^, ****** distribution body of each feeder, with evident time dispensed by the labor force employed and with ^ -talo. the consequent economic disadvantage.

twenty. Feed distribution den is made of plastic material.

An essential object of the present invention is, therefore, to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, with respect to the technique known until now, by performing a co25. Medero particularly intended for large-scale breeding volatile, which offers great strength and in which, at the same time, it is possible to adjust the level of the feed with a quick and simple maneuver, achievable from a central point of the installation poultry

30 This and other objects are achieved, together, with

the feeder object of the present, for birds of particular, turkeys, of the type usable in series, breeds, in - along lines of distribution of the feed in the installation, and that comprises a container plate, suspended, sustained -

At the level of the feed, in a position to make vertical displacements between a lower position, close to the bottom of said plate and a higher level position, it is supported and operated by means of peanut cables.

Other features and sales will become apparent25. The present invention, in the course of the detailed description that follows, in a preferred embodiment, represented by way of example and not limitation in the accompanying drawings, in the cuaJ.es:

das, in order to show the others;

- Figure 2 represents a schematic, side view of a feed distribution line, provided with feeders according to the present;

- Figures 3a, 3b and 3c, schematically represent - three characteristic positions of the feeder, with respect to the land and of the feed level regulator, 'resz x *:

pecto to the container plate, depending on the size of the air carriers.

With reference to the attached plans, we will say that «· it is indicated in 1, as a whole, the feeder object is present. It is constituted by a suspended container plate 2, of a type known per se, equipped with - *** support arms 3, as well as a feed dispensing organ 4, connected to a horizontal tubular duct ·. · ^ ·, Suitable for the transport of feed, from a dejjtJéi. to, not represented.

More particularly, as evidenced by fig. 1, the support arms 3 are constituted by a pair of profiled metal half rings, each of them folded in an inverted U-shape, in the same central area 3 ', so that it constitutes a clamp that surrounds the tubular conduit 5, and provided with ends 3 "radially spaced from the vertical axis (A) of the device

I »os ends 3' * 'or © the arms 3 are partially retracted and inserted into corresponding eyelets 6, arranged at along the raised edge of the plate 2. It should be noted that, being the arms 3 constituted by half metal rings, they behave - elastically, so that they can disintegrate from the eyelets—

·»*·

More in detail, we will say that the element distri'K ^ tt.

fifteen. dor 10 is formed by a substantially cylindrical body • # z · and hollow 12, provided with a quadrangular head 13, with a convex vertex 14, and then a ring portion 15, larger than the diameter. - body 12, attached to said body 12 by means of plates

twenty. radial 16. The vertex 14 is provided with a support 17 in which the traditional electric conductive wire 18 is inserted, which is suitable to prevent the birds from perching on the conduit 5. The regulating element 11 is configured substantially in the form of a cylindrical sleeve, with a cusp 25. 19 Trunk conical and equipped with a bottom 20 also externally truncated and provided with a lower end 21, cylindrical cylindrical, suitable to prevent the insertion of the bird's beak in the area between the inner wall of the bottom 20 and the traditional conical surface 22 planned in the center

30 of the container plate 2.

The level 11 regulating element is thus able to slide along the element 10, and is supported and actuated in such movement by a maneuvering cable constituted by a retracted cord 23, with

5. its ends 24 fixed at the top of the element and inserted slidably into a pair of len *

Perforated gouges 25 »that act as the * forwarding organs, arranged under the head 13» in a diametrically opposite position with respect to the axis (A). Cord 23 is fixed ··

10. by means of clips 26 to a main cable 27 disputed parallel to the conduit 5 and below it, which is operated by a suitable device 28, centralized. . · / «.

zado, with which it is thus possible to carry out the regulation&gt; i \, ~ ··· * · tion of the level of the feed simultaneously throughout the runner ^ · 15. ro 1 (fig. 2). It should be noted that the main cable is slidably inserted into the head 13 by a piercing hole 29 perpendicular to the axis (A) and - configured in the form of a half moon or half - point window, to allow possible oscillations of the feeder 1 20. around the axis of the conduit 5, without tensioning the cable 27, with the consequent unwanted displacement of the level regulating elements in the adjacent feeders 1.

As illustrated in fig. 1, the outer surface

25. na of the cylindrical body 12 is provided with a pair of vertical guides 30, arranged in a diametrically opposite position with respect to the axis (A), each defined by a molded rib 31, within which some reliefs are housed in sliding arrangement. 32 planned on the super

30 internal cylindrical fiction of the regulating element 11. A proxi

7.

Since the top of each guide 30, the corresponding rib 31 has a recessed area 33, suitable for the disintegration of the relief 32. Such disconnection (and similarly the assembly) is carried out by rotating the element 5, regulator 11 around the axis (A); For this purpose, it should be noted that at the top of element 11 it has *

provided a pair of cavities 34 conveniently located * with respect to the reliefs 32 provided, to allow the passage of the tabs 25 during assembly (or disconnection) 10. of the elements 10 and 11. -The connection between the support arms 3 and ·· the distribution member 4 is realized by a series' · · tt · of molded projections 35, arranged on the head 13'Sr, r * proximity of the respective inlet openings and of '; § ^.' •

It is obvious that the invention will be able to assume in its practical realization different forms from that illustrated.

twenty. In particular, numerous modifications of a practical and constructive nature may be made that appear as - evident to the technicians of the sector, without thereby leaving the scope of protection of this patent.

In addition to all the details, they can be replaced
