| 20090194030 | Feeding mouthpiece - A feeding mouthpiece has a body and a tube. The body is hollow, a resilient material and has two ends, a teat and a seal. The teat is formed on one end of the body, has an opening and corresponds to a mouth of young. The seal is formed on the other end of the body and has a sealing surface. The tube is formed through and protrudes from the sealing surface of the seal, is tapered to a transverse ridge and has an outer surface, a proximal end, two gables and an air valve. The air valve is a slit and may be formed along the transverse ridge or longitudinally on the outer surface of the tube. When the feeding mouthpiece is mounted with a bottle, the air valve prevents leakage and is easily cleaned without tearing or breaking the feeding mouthpiece. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090205574 | Method and apparatus for nursing animals - A device for nursing animals is provided, generally having a form and size to simulate the mother of an animal that is to nurse from the device. The simulated animal nursing device has a body or torso area that defines a back, an underbelly and an opening that leads into an internal cavity. Holes or apertures extend through the underbelly of the body section. Nursing bottles having nursing nipples are positioned in inverted positions and supported within the internal cavity of the body section. The nursing nipples extend through the apertures, so that nursing animals can access the nipples and have a desirable nursing environment. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100083907 | Mammal nurser and method of use - A surrogate nurser for mammal infants, such as kittens and puppies or other infants without the ability to nurse from their mother for any reason is described that includes a furry exterior to provide the feel of the mother. Inside the surrogate is a reservoir with a flat bottom that houses a milk substitute that flows through protrusions that align with holes in the surrogate wherein the protrusions are equipped with nipples that allow the infants to suckle. The head of the surrogate includes a simulated heartbeat and in the case of cats, a simulated purring sound. Both the purring sound and the heartbeat are controlled by switches found on the head of the surrogate. The head is removable for easy cleaning of the body of the surrogate without damaging the electronics found in the head. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100224131 | AUTOMATIC SUCKLING SYSTEM FOR CALVES WITH MINIMAL WEANING STRESS - Disclosed is a suckling system wherein suckling of calves can be automatically performed and weaning stress of newborn calves can be minimized. The suckling system for calves with minimal weaning stress, includes a suckling unit and a milk feed unit to feed milk to calves, and a control module to control the units, wherein the suckling unit comprises a weight scale, and the control module measures the weight of calves and controls a feed amount of the milk feed unit, based on the weight. The milk feed unit uniformly supplies milk set to the temperature of the mother's milk to calves, the height of the teat member is controllable to a level suitable for calves, and after feeding, the teat member and the milk feed unit are automatically cleaned. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100313816 | Feeder - An animal feeder | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110139079 | Livestock nursing nipple - A livestock nursing nipple provides a base portion defining a reservoir neck orifice and having a generally triangular reservoir neck engaging lip, an annular accordion joint structurally interconnects the base portion with an axially extending elongated nipple to absorb deflection forces and deformation forces exerted on the nipple during use, the nipple defining a fluid channel between the base portion and a terminal end defining a fluid outlet. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110297094 | CALF FEEDING BOTTLE - A calf feeding bottle comprising a lower opening for connecting to a drinking teat, an upper opening for filling the feeding bottle and a lid for closing the upper opening, the lid being designed so that it may be pushed open by a filling device and is automatically closed again when the filling device is removed from the feeding bottle. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20130180457 | VENTING MEANS - A venting arrangement for a feeding teat closure | 07-18-2013 |
| 20140158055 | ADAPTOR FITTING - An adaptor fitting | 06-12-2014 |
| 20140261204 | Pet Feeder - An animal feeder comprising a body having one or more fabric pieces defining a closed space, and a bed. The body has a base and an opposing end. A flap is attached to the body and has a free end, with the flap defining openings proximal to the free end. Pockets are adjacent to the body and have open ends alignable with the flap openings. Fluid vessels occupy the pockets. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150013613 | Feeding Nipple - A feeding nipple comprising a dome-shaped crown having a convex-shaped outer surface and a lower region which is concentrically formed with the convex-shaped outer surface and which extends therefrom to form a shelf, wherein the crown provides a surface whereby an animal may knead on the feeding nipple while the animal is feeding from the nipple. The crown comprises a diameter sufficiently sized so as to prevent the nipple from being inhaled by the animal. The feeding nipple further comprises a collar which is contiguously formed with the lower region and which is recessed relative thereto. A mount is contiguously and concentrically formed with the collar and comprises a diameter that assists in securing the feeding nipple to a fluid source. A transverse interior wall is transversely positioned within an opening centrally formed through lower region, wherein transverse interior wall assists in securing the feeding nipple to a fluid source. | 01-15-2015 |
| 20150327511 | VENTING DEVICE - A venting device for an animal feeder which has a feeding teat is disclosed. The venting device has a chamber with an opening into the chamber. A vent opening is also connected to the chamber. A sealing element is retained freely moveable in the chamber. The sealing element has a first surface positioned relative to the opening such that, in use of the feeder, feed in the feeder will contact the first surface and cause the sealing element to move to a sealing position on seat to close the chamber from the vent opening. The surface is configured such that when a negative pressure in the feeder acts on the surface and is sufficient to overcome the weight of feed acting on the surface, the sealing element will be drawn into a position where the chamber can communicate with the vent opening and thereby vent the feeder to atmosphere. | 11-19-2015 |
| 20160135425 | Suction teat arrangement for an automatic feeder - Suction teat arrangement for an automatic feeder for feeding livestock, in particular calves, with a suction teat holder, which has a suction teat receiver for receiving a suction teat, a fastening device for fastening the suction teat holder on a feed stand and a supply connection for connection with a supply line, a valve, with which a liquid supply from the supply line to the suction teat can be released and blocked, and a branch connection for connection with a branch line, characterized in that the valve and the branch connection are integrated into the suction teat holder. | 05-19-2016 |
