An animal feeder includes a feed bin that is at least partially defined by a base, an interior panel extending upward from the base, and an exterior panel extending upward from the base. An intermediate structure is located between the interior panel and the exterior panel. The feed bin contains an opening that is covered by the intermediate structure when a predetermined weight is placed on the intermediate structure.

Squirrel-proof bird feeder

An animal feeder includes a feed bin configured to hold feed stock. The feed bin has a first feed port. The animal feeder also includes an outer housing positioned around at least a portion of the feed bin. The outer housing has a second feed port. The animal feeder further includes a magnet supported by one of the feed bin and the outer housing. The magnet magnetically couples the outer housing to the feed bin. The outer housing is movable relative to the feed bin between a first position, in which the outer housing is magnetically coupled to the feed bin such that the first feed port and the second feed port are at least partially aligned, and a second position, in which the outer housing is not magnetically coupled to the feed bin and the first feed port and the second feed port are out of alignment.

Selective animal feeder

An animal feeder includes a feed reservoir having a cavity for holding a feed material, and a feed dispensing assembly coupled to the feed reservoir. The feed dispensing assembly includes a check valve to allow selective access to the feed material. The check valve inhibits feed leakage from the feed reservoir during pressure fluctuations within the feed reservoir.

In some embodiments, lock assemblies are disclosed which have a housing, a barrel, and at least one tumbler. In some cases, the lock is codeable after the lock assembly has been assembled. Although not required, some embodiments can be re-coded to a new code with and without disassembling the lock assembly. The tumbler(s) can be pivotable, while in other embodiments the tumbler(s) move in a substantially linear fashion. The tumbler(s) can be comprised of two pieces or portions, wherein one piece/portion of the tumbler(s) either directly or indirectly engages the coded surface of a key while the other piece/portion is positionable to prevent rotation of the barrel with respect to the housing. In some embodiments, the tumblers are external to the barrel.

Vehicular lock apparatus and method

A module for a battery is disclosed. The module includes a power system in the container. The power system also includes a high voltage battery for powering high voltage loads. The power system also includes a low voltage battery for powering low voltage loads. The module also includes a converter at least partially in the container configured for directing power provided from the high voltage battery to the low voltage battery. The module also includes a device for disconnecting at least one of the high voltage battery from the high voltage loads and the low voltage battery from the low voltage loads. The container is configured to transfer heat from the battery system to an outside of the container. A module for thermal management of a battery system is also disclosed. An energy management system for a battery system is also disclosed.

Transfer switch

Bird feeder

A power transfer system for supplying electrical power to a plurality of load circuits, the system including a first input adapted to being electrically connected to a power source, and a first plurality of switches electrically connected to the first input, wherein each first switch has an ON state and an OFF state. The system also includes a second input adapted to being electrically connected to the plurality of load circuits, and a second plurality of switches electrically connected to the second input, wherein each of the second switches is associated with one of said first switches and is adapted to being associated with one of the load circuits, and wherein each of the second switches has an ON state and an OFF state. The system also includes a face plate through which each switch of the first and second pluralities of switches at least partially extends, and a movable lockout plate disposed behind the face plate that prevents the movement of a selected first or second switch from its OFF state to its ON state when the switch associated with said selected switch is in its ON state.
