Definitions

  • the invention relates to a feeding device for animals, in particular for dogs.
  • Feeding devices for animals in particular for pets, such as dogs, generally consist of a simple feeding bowl which holds the commonly used wet and dry food and is supplemented by a further container for holding liquid.
  • special feeding devices within a highly technical environment which serve to produce a chronological sequence of feed portions in the absence of the caregiver. In such feeding devices, predetermined portions are released to the animal once or several times a day for a limited period of time. Feeding devices of this type only include the possibility of producing a chronological sequence of individual feed portions.
  • the invention has for its object to propose a feeding device that allows convenient feeding.
  • the feeding device is used in particular for pets, such as dogs, and comprises a basic element to which a holding device for receiving at least one feeding bowl can be attached.
  • the base element has at least one base with a base and at least one attachment element extending perpendicular to the base.
  • the holding device can be fastened to the attachment element in such a way that the feeding bowl in the holding device is at an angle of up to approximately 45 ° relative to the standing surface. Such an inclination of the food bowl makes it easier for the pet to take up the entire contents of the bowl.
  • the at least one holding device can be locked in predetermined angular steps.
  • a desired angle of inclination can be set, which can also be made dependent, for example, on whether there is dry food or water in the food bowl.
  • a stepless attachment of the holding device e.g. is provided with a clamping screw.
  • the feeding device further comprises a weighing device which can be attached to the base element.
  • the weighing device can be positioned relative to the holding device in such a way that a feeding bowl accommodated in the holding device rests with the entire weight on the weighing device.
  • the weighing device can be arranged relative to the holding device in such a way that a feeding bowl accommodated in the holding device stands completely on the surface of the weighing device provided for detecting the weight. In this way, the exact amount of food in the bowl can be measure and set a precisely specified amount when filling the feed.
  • the advantage of the weighing device is that the optimal amount of feed for the respective animal can be provided. In the case of a complete feed, this can be both the total amount and, when putting together various feed components, the respective individual amount of the components with a view to the best possible, balanced diet.
  • the feeding device can of course also be used for dietary purposes, in order to throttle the daily amount of feed over a longer period of time or to keep it at a reduced level.
  • the amount of food the animal has consumed can also be determined from the use of the scales. This can give the veterinarian information about the condition and course of the disease, in particular in the event of an animal disease.
  • the weighing device can be fastened to the at least one attachment element. In this way, the weighing device can be conveniently brought into the desired relative position in relation to the holding device in order to weigh a feeding bowl received by the holding device.
  • the holding device is preferably adjustable in height relative to the base element and can be fixed to the base element at a desired height. In this way, adaptation to individual needs can be achieved. In this way, the height of the feeding bowl can be adjusted in order to provide a suitable height depending on the animal to be fed. At the same time, the height adjustment of the holding device can of course also be used so that the user does not have to bend down too deeply when filling the feed into the feed bowl and can easily read the display on the weighing device. Finally, the height adjustment of the holding device also serves to produce the desired relative position to the weighing device. Depending on the geometry of the feeding bowl accommodated in the holding device, a different height distance between the weighing device and the holding device may be necessary, which can be easily adjusted in this way.
  • the weighing device is height-adjustable relative to the base element and can be fixed at a desired height relative to the base element. This measure also makes it possible to adjust the relative position between the holding device and the weighing device. In the same way, it is of course also possible that both the holding device and the weighing device can be adjusted in height.
  • the holding device receives two feeding bowls and has two appropriately dimensioned openings for this.
  • the openings of the holding device can be dimensioned such that the feeding bowls are hooked into the openings from above and cannot pass through the correspondingly dimensioned opening due to a corresponding thickening on the circumference.
  • the thickening on the circumference can be a flanged edge of the feeding bowl.
  • the opening of the holding device serves at least to ensure lateral guidance and fixation of the food bowl so that the animal cannot move the food bowl.
  • the weighing device is preferably adjustable in a plane parallel to the base of the base relative to the attachment element to which it is attached. In this way, with a single weighing device, the weight of not only an individual feeding bowl, but also another feeding bowl accommodated in the holding device can be weighed after the weighing device has been adjusted accordingly.
  • the feeding device further comprises a splash guard which can be attached to the base element.
  • the splash guard extends from the base of the base element upwards to such an extent that a feed bowl arranged at a maximum distance from the base is still adequately shielded from the surroundings by a splash guard. In this way it can be avoided that the animals eat a larger area around the base element.
  • a handle is provided on the attachment element with which the entire feeding device can be conveniently raised.
  • the feeding device can be carried from the kitchen near the dining table.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of the invention
  • Feeding device with weighing device
  • FIG. 2 shows a feeding device with two separate holding elements during feeding
  • Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of a feeding device.
  • a feeding device for pets and especially for dogs is shown.
  • the feeding device consists of a base element 11, which in turn comprises a base 12 and a columnar attachment element 14.
  • the pedestal is sufficiently dimensioned to stand safely even under the loads that occur during feeding.
  • a holding device 16 for receiving feeding bowls 18a and 18b is arranged on the columnar attachment element.
  • the holding device in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 has receptacles for two feeding bowls, but the feeding device according to the invention can also have only one holding device for a single feeding bowl in the same way.
  • one food bowl could be filled with dry food, while the second food bowl could contain water.
  • the holding device can also be designed such that one or both sides can be pivoted about an essentially horizontal axis. The pivoting can take place by pivoting the holding device relative to the attachment element or by pivoting the attachment element relative to the base.
  • the pivot connection can be carried out in a manner customary in the art.
  • This measure can be used, for example, to pivot the side into which the feeding bowl is inserted forward, while the receptacle on the opposite side, which is used for inserting a liquid container, remains in the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • Swiveling forward is understood to mean a rotation about an essentially horizontal axis, in which the side closer to the splash guard 22 in FIG. 1 is raised and the side facing away from the splash guard 22 is lowered.
  • Such pivotability should be limited to a maximum dimension of approximately 45 °, so that it is possible for the animal to eat more comfortably, but the feed cannot fall out of a feed bowl or the feed bowl can fall out of the holding device 16.
  • the limitation of the swiveling can be realized by a suitable stop.
  • the holding device 16 has an opening which closely surrounds the column-shaped attachment element 14 and is dimensioned such that the holding device 16 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the column-shaped attachment element 14 relative to the latter.
  • a suitable fixing device (not shown) is provided, with which the preselected height position of the holding device 16 can be fixed on the columnar attachment element 14.
  • this can be a manually operated one Act screw that passes through a threaded opening in the holder and extends into the opening that surrounds the columnar attachment member 14. By tightening the screw, the screw tip can be pressed against the column-shaped attachment element, whereby the position of the holding device 16 is fixed relative to the column-shaped attachment element 14.
  • the holding device 16 has two further openings into which the feeding bowls 18a and 18b can be inserted.
  • the food bowls are shaped so that their outer radius increases upwards so that they are inserted from above into the corresponding openings of the holding device 16 and automatically, i.e. without further fixation.
  • the feeding bowl 18b arranged on the left in the drawing plane is held completely by the holding device 16, while the feeding bowl 18a arranged on the right in the drawing plane stands on a weighing device 20 with which the weight of this feeding bowl can be determined.
  • the feeding bowl 18a is no longer held by the holding device 16, but is merely guided through the corresponding receiving opening, so that the holding device does not take up any weight.
  • the weighing device 20 also has an opening through which the column-shaped attachment element 14 passes and is additionally height-adjustable relative to the column-shaped attachment element.
  • the weighing device 20 can also be pivoted within a horizontal plane, so that the weighing device 20 can be arranged both under the feeding bowl 18a and, after a corresponding pivoting in a plane parallel to the base 12, under the feeding bowl 18b. Due to the additional function of the height adjustment of the Weighing device can be moved towards the feeding bowl from below until the weight of the feeding bowl rests on the weighing device.
  • the weight of the food bowl can be compensated and the weight of the food filled in the corresponding food bowl (in the present example, the food bowl 18a) can be measured in a convenient manner.
  • the scale can either have a display (not shown) for the optical transmission of the measured weight and / or an acoustic display with which the user is easily shown if he exceeds the desired amount of feed specified by the user when filling the feed.
  • the feeding device is provided with a splash guard 22 which, in the present exemplary embodiment, extends to the height of the column-shaped attachment element, but can also have a greater or lesser height.
  • the entire feeding device can be made of different materials, such as plastic or metal, according to the needs of a user.
  • the feeding device according to FIG. 2 is shown while feeding a small dog A and a larger dog B.
  • two holding devices 16a and 16b are provided on the attachment element 14, which are each held in height-adjustable manner on the attachment element 14.
  • the holding devices can be fixed at a desired position on the attachment element 14 by hand screws 24 which are easy to operate by the user.
  • the holding device can be pivoted at individually adjustable angles of inclination.
  • the Holding device 26 each have a locking button 26, the actuation of which moves a locking pin from an engagement position into a position allowing the giving away. If the locking button 26 is actuated, the corresponding holding device can be pivoted by hand until the holding device engages automatically in the rest position following the release of the locking button 26. In this way, different, defined locking positions can be specified.
  • the feeding device according to FIG. 2 is also provided with a splash guard 22.
  • the feeding device according to FIG. 3 differs from that according to FIG. 2 both with regard to the attachment element 14 and also the fastening of the holding devices to the attachment element 14.
  • the attachment element consists of two bars 14a and 14b arranged parallel to one another and perpendicular to the base 12 which are connected to one another on the side facing away from the base 12 by an arcuate section 28 serving as a handle.
  • the holding devices 16a and 16b are fastened to a slide 30, with the aid of which the holding devices are attached to the attachment element 14 in a height-adjustable manner. With the aid of a locking screw 32, the slide 30 can be fixed on the attachment element 14 after setting a desired height.
  • the holding devices 16a and 16b consist of a bar 34a, 34b which is pivotally attached to the carriage 30 and to which an annular receptacle for inserting the respective feeding bowls 18a, 18b is firmly attached.
  • the respective holding devices are adjusted in angle by pivoting the spars 34a, 34b relative to the horizontal plane.
  • a plate 38a, 38b is provided on the slide 30 for each holding device, which plate is predetermined accordingly in coordinated positions Tilt angles have locking holes to snap a detachable locking pin into place.
  • the spars By pulling the locking pin out of the engaged position using a suitable release device, the spars can be adjusted with respect to their angle of inclination and then the desired angle of inclination can be fixed by snapping the locking pin into the corresponding opening in the plate 38a, 38b.
  • the associated holding device must first be set so that the food bowl is in a horizontal position, i.e. is not inclined. After completing the weighing process, the scale can be moved downwards sufficiently to allow the subsequent setting of the desired inclination angle unhindered. Alternatively, the weighing device can also be pivoted to the side in the horizontal plane in order not to hinder the subsequent inclination of the holding device with the feeding bowl.
