    摘要: A feeding system for feeding animals, in particular cows, includes a feed storage system for keeping feed for the animals in store, and a feed loading device for loading a batch of feed from the feed storage system into a receptacle of an autonomous feeding device in order to teed the animals. The feed loading device is provided with a feed grabber including two grab buckets which are hingeable between an open position and a closed position. The feed grabber includes an actuation device for actuating the grab buckets from the open position to the closed position. The actuation device includes a rotatably drivable winding-up body which is connected to one of the grab buckets and includes a winding circumference, and an arm which is connected between the winding-up body and the other grab bucket. The arm includes a plurality of mutually, hingeably connected arm sections which are made from stainless steel or a material having substantially the same strength and corrosion-resistant properties as stainless steel. The arm sections, in the open position of the grab buckets, extend substantially in line with one another. The arm sections, from the open position of the grab buckets, when the winding-up body is rotatably driven, are wound about the winding circumference of the winding-up body in order to pull the grab buckets towards the closed position. The arm sections are configured in such a way that the winding circumference of the winding-up body can be covered substantially in its entirety by at most 8 arm sections, preferably at most 6 arm sections, in particular 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 arm sections.

    摘要: An automatic pet feeding device includes a grain storage bin including a grain leaking member formed at a lower portion thereof and connected with a pushing granary, the pushing granary arranged below the grain storage bin and including a grain delivery member, and a grain pusher slidably arranged between the pushing granary and the grain storage bin; the grain pusher configured to push pet food in the pushing granary out of the grain delivery member, and open or close the grain leaking member and the grain delivery member. The feeding device provides that pet food can flow out of the grain delivery member through the grain pusher, and both the grain leaking member and the grain delivery member can be sealed at the same time, to prevent insects and ants from entering inside the feeding device from the grain delivery member, to breed bacteria and endanger health of pets.

    摘要: An automated terrarium feeder assembly includes a cover that is longitudinally elongated thereby facilitating the cover to be positioned on top of a terrarium to inhibit a reptile contained in the terrarium from escaping. A feeder is movably integrated into the cover to release a pre-determined amount of the reptile food into the terrarium to feed the reptile while an owner of the reptile is not present for extended periods of time. A heat lamp is integrated into the cover to warm the reptile. A light emitter is integrated into the cover to illuminate the terrarium. A touch screen is attached to the cover and the touch screen is in communication with the feeder for programming operational parameters of the feeder, the heat lamp, the light emitter and the blower.
