摘要

"BIRD FEEDING DEVICE, ESPECIALLY PREGNANT BIRDS, PREFERRED CHICKENS". A feeding device for poultry reared in a nursery has at least one feed conveyor tube which is installed in the raised and lowered feedable nursery and has a series of branched openings each assigned to a set of shells suspended from the conveyor tube and which has a drop tube that originates from the branched opening as well as a feed shell that exists under the drop tube, with a shell dome formed of radially projecting lattice bars. The drop tube consists of an inner cylinder that protrudes from the branch opening as well as an outer cylinder surrounding the inner cylinder, in which the shell is so suspended by means of the truss bars that with the conveyor tube of ration lowered, it is deposited in the floor of the nursery. The outer cylinder is rotatable mounted on the inner cylinder can be raised and lowered and at least one stroke stop is provided to limit the lifting and lowering travel. The outer cylinder and the inner cylinder consist of reciprocally co-axial and neighboring cylindrical segments, with forward facing marginal regions of the cylindrical segment being interconnected by bridge organs that overlap a gap region and correspond to the distance between the cylindrical segments.
