20090199771 | FEEDING APPARATUS - The present invention discloses a feeding apparatus connectable to several feeding ducts and includes a first turntable, a fixing plate and a second turntable under a storage bin. The bottom of the storage bin is fixed to the fixing plate, and has several discharge holes, and the first and second turntables can be rotated synchronously, and several outlet holes are built corresponding to the discharge holes. When the first and second turntable are rotated, the positions of the discharge holes and the outlet holes interlaced and superimposed intermittently, so that the feed stored in the storage bin can be dropped intermittently. With a feeding air current, the feed is delivered to the outside in a high speed from each feeding duct, such that each feeding duct can distribute the feed to several feeding points, and the feeding apparatus is particularly suitable for an aquatic farm with high-density breeding tanks. | 08-13-2009 |
20090255474 | Automatic aquarium feeder - A digital, automatic feeder for aquarium and pond animals for positioning above an aquarium tank or pond for distributing a pre-measured amount of feed into the tank or pond on a pre-determined schedule. The feeder includes a digital system and display that allows users to input either a schedule of feed amounts and days/dates, or input a variety of tank conditions and allow the system to select an appropriate schedule and amounts of food. | 10-15-2009 |
20090277391 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FEEDING AQUATIC ANIMALS - Method and system for feeding aquatic animals. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including submerging, at least partially, a chamber in a water reservoir, the chamber comprising a bladder comprising food for aquatic animals, periodically pumping water from the water reservoir into the chamber, exterting, by the pumping, a force on the bladder, and thereby dispensing the food into the water reservoir. | 11-12-2009 |
20100242846 | Food Dispensers and Aquaculture Systems - A food dispenser ( | 09-30-2010 |
20110056437 | MAGNETICALLY COUPLED WALL ATTACHMENT DEVICE - A magnetically coupled device for an aquarium wall. The device may include an inner member and an outer member. The inner member may include a main body portion and an inner magnetic or magnetically attractable element coupled to or disposed within the main body portion. The outer member may include an outer magnetic or magnetically attractable element and a polymer static cling layer. The outer magnetic or magnetically attractable element may be magnetically attracted to the inner magnetic or magnetically attractable element. The polymer static cling layer may be configured to allow the outer member to be removably attached to an outer surface of the aquarium wall. The inner member may be removably attached to an inner surface of the aquarium wall by magnetic attraction with the outer member. The device may provide, for example, a feeding point for aquatic life contained in the aquarium. | 03-10-2011 |
20110067634 | Fish feed dispenser - An apparatus for storing, grinding, and dispensing flake style fish feed for the purpose of feeding fish in an a aquarium. The apparatus having an upper hopper for receiving a quantity of flake fish feed, a grinding mechanism in the lower portion of the upper hopper for breaking down the larger feed flakes into smaller, more uniform flakes. A method of separating out the smaller flakes and depositing them into a lower hopper where the feed can be stored or fed directly to the fish | 03-24-2011 |
20110168100 | Method of feeding aquatic organisms - A method of feeding aquatic organisms with an artificial food. The food is in the form of microcapsules having an outer permeable polymeric shell of chitosan or alginate and an inner core of liquid food for the aquatic organism. The method involves introducing the microcapsules into an aquatic environment where they are available to be consumed by the organism. The shells of the microcapsules consist of a single polymer, the liquid food has a dry matter content comprising water-soluble, hydrolyzed proteins, peptides and amino acids, and the capsules are arranged to leak the liquid food into the aquatic environment through the shell such that at least 40% of the dry matter content remains in the capsules once the leakage has substantially ceased. | 07-14-2011 |
20120227670 | Automatic Fish Food Dispenser - Disclosed are fish food dispensers for aquariums, which are automatic and may be utilized to feed fish in the absence of the aquarist. The dispensers typically utilize a replaceable fish food container. | 09-13-2012 |
20130174786 | AQUATIC FEEDING DEVICE - An aquatic feeding device includes a hollow body having an exterior wall, the exterior wall including an exterior surface defining an external shape of the feeding device and an interior surface defining an inner cavity of the feeding device. The hollow body includes an upper end and a lower end. An air tight chamber is formed within the inner cavity of the feeding device adjacent the upper end of the hollow body. A plurality of feeding apertures are formed within the exterior wall adjacent the air tight chamber. The plurality of feeding apertures are shaped and dimensioned to permit pets with access to the inner cavity of the feeding device. | 07-11-2013 |
20140360433 | Fish feeding device - A fish feeding device featuring an elongated shaft component with a first end portion formed into the shape of a helix for holding foodstuffs below the level of water in a fish tank and with a stopper component held by the shaft, keeping the shaft away from the inner walling of any panel portion of the tank and with the shaft component being bent about a vertically inclined central axis of symmetry of the shaft component for purposes of holding the invention about upper edging of the given panel portion and featured by further bends of the shaft component serving to hold the device fast in place about the exterior walling of and accordingly the panel portion of the fish tank. | 12-11-2014 |
20150313189 | ADJUSTABLE DOSAGE MICROPARTICULATE FEEDER FOR LARVAL AND JUVENILE FISHES - A feeder for larval and juvenile fishes is capable of delivering an adjustable dose of microparticulate feed to selected locations, via pneumatic conveyance and control. A source of low-pressure dry gas is used to blow microparticulate feed through a manifold and into a selected one of a number of tubes. In order to adjust the portion dispensed by the feeder, an adjustable portion control is provided. Instead of a fixed sized ration cup a threaded recess is provided. Within the recess is provided a mating nylon set screw with an Allen hex head socket. By screwing the set screw in, or out, a user may increase, or decrease the volume of each dose. | 11-05-2015 |
