Abstract
Disclosed herein are rotatable bird feeders. The bird feeders are composed of a generally planar surface having one or more containers positioned about the perimeter of the generally planar surface. In one embodiment, the containers have a first well coupled to a second well. The bird feeder also includes an axle having a first and second end where the first end of the axle is pivotally coupled to the generally planar surface and the second end is coupled to an adapter. The adapter may be coupled to a post or rod or the like to mount the bird feeder in a desired location.
Claims20
A rotatable bird feeder comprising:
- a substantially planar surface including at least one container pivotally coupled thereto, said at least one pivotally coupled container having at least two bird feed wells;
- a first member adapted to support said substantially planar surface;
- an axle projecting from said support member to terminate at a free first end pivotally coupled to said substantially planar surface, said axle including a second end affixed to said first support member via an adapter said adapter having a substantially tubular portion engaging a terminal end of said first support member in ensleeved manner and
- a hub cap configured to cover the pivotal coupling between said first end of said axle and said substaintially planar surface.
A vertically orientated rotatable bird feeder, comprising:
- a generally planar holding structure in the form of a sheet for at least one bird feed container:
- a first member configured to support said holding structure for rotational movement in a vertical plane said first support member being generally rigid and having a substantially inverted-T cross section and being adapted for elevational adjustment;
- and
- an axle projecting from said support member to terminate at a free first end pivotally coupled to said holding structure, said axle including a second end secured to said first support member via an adapter, said adapter having a substantially tubular portion engaging a terminal end of said first support member in ensleeved manner, said second secured end of said axle being disposed at an angle to said adapter.
