Abstract
An automatic animal feeder includes a housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and a peripheral wall having an opening therein. A plurality of food delivery assemblies is positioned in the opening. Each of the food delivery assemblies includes a food drawer slidably positioned in the opening. The drawer is selectively extended inwardly or outwardly of the housing when a rod threadably coupled thereto is rotated. A motor is mechanically coupled to the driving rod. A processor is mounted in the housing and is electrically coupled to each of the food delivery assemblies for selectively turning on the motors. A first time control is electrically coupled to the processor for selectively inputting a time and date when each of a selected one of the food trays will be extended outwardly from the housing. A cooling assembly is mounted in the housing for selectively cooling an interior of the housing.
