A B S T R A C T
This invention consists of an automatic fish feed-
ing device which is controlled and operated electrically and
which can be set to go on and off at predetermined times, thus
eliminating personal attention when such attention is not avail-
able. The feeding mechanism consists of a hopper which con-
tains the fish food, and a conveyor screw at the bottom of the
hopper for carrying the food to, and discharging it into an
aquarium to which the device is attached. The "ON" and "OFF"
timing can be controlled by means of a standard household timer
or by any one of a number of more sophisticated time control
devices at present on the market, and the R.P.M. of the con-
veyor determines the quantity of food delivered to the aquarium,
during a predetermined period of rotation.
