Abstract
The present disclosure provides a feeder port system with a tubular body. In some embodiments, feeder port may include a tubular body with an entry portion and an exit portion. In some aspects, the feeder port may include a collar and an external threading. In some implementations, the feeder port system may include a gate mechanism configured to provide and deny access to the entry portion of the feeder port. In some aspects, the feeder port system may include a support structure, a sliding door, and a platform. In some aspects, the feeder port system may be configured to provide access for farm animals to consume feed while blocking access to rodents and pests.
Claims18
A gate mechanism configured to provide and deny access to the entry portion of a feeder port, wherein the gate mechanism includes:
- a support structure that is vertically oriented with an aperture to connect to a collar of a feeder port, wherein the support structure includes one or more stabilizing mechanisms and one or more tracks configured to receive a sliding portion;
- the sliding portion attachable to the one or more tracks, wherein the sliding portion is configured to allow and block access to the feeder port;
- and
- a pressure mechanism attachable to the sliding portion, wherein pressing the pressure mechanism is configured to move the sliding portion downwards on the one or more tracks to allow access into the feeder port, wherein the one or more tracks includes a leash mechanism configured to wrap around a holding mechanism above the one or more tracks;
- wherein the leash mechanism is attachable to a portion of the sliding portion that protrudes through one or more tracks, wherein the leash mechanism is pulled by the holding mechanism.
A feeder port system configured to provide an entryway for a feeder including:
- a feeder port with a tubular body with an entry portion and an exit portion,
- wherein the feeder port further includes:
- a collar that protrudes around the tubular body between the entry portion and exit portion;
- an external threading on the tubular body between the collar and the exit portion;
- a gate mechanism configured to provide and deny access to the entry portion of the feeder port, wherein the gate mechanism includes:
- a support structure that is vertically oriented with an aperture to connect to the collar of the feeder port, wherein the support structure includes one or more stabilizing mechanisms and one or more tracks configured to receive a sliding portion;
- the sliding portion attachable to the one or more tracks, wherein the sliding portion is configured to allow and block access to the feeder port;
- and
- a pressure mechanism attachable to the sliding portion, wherein pressing the pressure mechanism is configured to move the sliding portion downwards on the one or more tracks to allow access into the feeder port.
