Continuous automatic feeding apparatus

Automatic continuous feeding apparatus for fluent material comprising;

• (a) first and second hopper means;
• (b) means for determining the weight of said first and second hopper means;
• (c) means for discharging said first and second hopper means when said hopper first and second hopper means reach a predetermined weight;
• (d) feeder means discharging said material into said hopper means, said feeder means coincidently discharging said material at first and second discharge rates;
• (e) first and second deflector means associated with said first and second hopper means, each of said deflector means having first, second and third positions, at said first position said deflector means preventing any discharge of said feeder means into said associated hopper, but deflecting said discharge into the other of said hoppers;
• at said second position said deflector permitting said material discharging at said first discharge rate to enter its associated hopper and deflecting said material flowing at said second discharge rate into the other of said hoppers;
• at said third position said deflectors permitting all of said material to be discharged into their associated hoppers;
• and
• (f) means for displacing said first and second deflector means into said first, second and third positions.
