A poultry feeder with double-directional rotation, characterized in that comprises:
- a substantially rounded rectangular plate with an outwardly curved peripheral ridge forming a coupling slot;
- a hopper comprising a plurality of lower fins joined at their free end by a grid, wherein said grid has a substantially concave shape with a coupling hook at its end configured to be fixedly coupled on the peripheral ridge to form a single element;
- wherein said grid comprises in one of its corners a release opening that forms two releasing sections, which allows the hopper to be released from the plate by pulling one of the two releasing sections, with which the plate and the hopper are quickly and easily uncoupled without effort;
- said hopper further comprises a plurality of side and upper openings to allow internal washing, and an upper hole with lateral reinforcements;
- a circular flange having lateral ends that couple releasably in its lower part a substantially square hollow throat with projections or stops at its lower end, wherein said flange and throat are divided into two parts to be inserted into said upper hole in said hopper and are held therein by said projections or stops, and wherein said flange comprises at its lower part right and left reinforcing ears each having a semicircular cutout;
- and
- a substantially cylindrical clamp conformed by an upper and lower half each in the shape of a half-round, wherein each of said upper and lower halves is divided into three sections front, central and rear, by peripheral ridges, wherein the lower half comprises an orifice for receiving food in the central section;
- wherein said upper half comprises in its front section retaining and coupling means of securing element;
- and a T-shaped curved tongue that slides through said peripheral ridges and over a groove in an outer surface of said lower half, wherein said tongue comprises adjacent to its rear end a through hole, and at its front end a tongue gripping media for better handling thereof, wherein said tongue has the function of opening and closing the passage of food through the food receiving orifice,
- wherein when the feeder is rotated, either clockwise or counter-clockwise, to be placed in its resting or washing position at approximately 160° or 70°, depending on the direction in which it is turned, said feeder is maintained and secured in said position by means of said securing element, by rotating the flange on the central section of the clamp, so that said the retaining and coupling means coincides with the respective semicircular cutout of the right or left reinforcing ear of said flange according to the sense in which the feeder is rotated and inserting said securing element through said retaining and coupling means and semicircular cutout.
