| 20120160176 | TREAT DISPENSER AND TREAT DISPENSING SYSTEM - A treat dispensing system to dispense treats to animals, includes a treat dispenser controlled by a user controller. The treat dispenser includes a housing having an interior and at least one aperture to dispense treats. A treat advancer advances a treat from a storage area to a chute, for example via an actuator, controlled by an advancer controller. The advancer controller is controlled by a treat dispenser controller, which is in turn controlled by the user controller. The user controller may comprise a remote control, cordless telephone, cellular telephone, PDA, network connected desktop or laptop computer. The treat dispenser controller may include a camera and loudspeaker. The user can remotely initiate the advancer to align the treat storage with the chute so that a treat held within the treat storage area is dispensed via the aperture to the external environment. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20130186343 | Animal Feed Mechanism - An animal feed mechanism includes a manually operated slide valve interposed between a set of upper agitators and a set of lower screw conveyors. In some examples, two upper agitators are installed within a plastic funnel, and two lower screw conveyors are disposed within a metal auger housing. Each screw conveyor includes an auger driven by its own separate motor. Thus, there are two motors for rotating the two augers. The two motors can be energized individually to selectively rotate either auger or to rotate them concurrently. In some examples, a transmission coupling the two augers to the two agitators conveys power to rotate both agitators regardless of whether either one or both motor driven augers are operating. | 07-25-2013 |
| 20130319337 | Internet Canine Communication Device and Method - Enhanced methods and systems for human-pet communication are described. Example embodiments provide an Internet Canine Communication System (“ICCS”). The ICCS facilitates remote communication and interaction with between a dog and its owner, caretaker, trainer, family member, or the like. The ICCS may include a base station or similar device that is configured to deliver treats to a dog and to transmit audio/visual communication between the dog and a remote client device operated by a human user. The ICCS may also facilitate training the dog to utilize the ICCS to communicate with the user, such as by answering calls from or initiating calls to the remote client device of the user. | 12-05-2013 |

The ICCS may include a base station or similar device that is configured to deliver treats to a dog and to transmit audio/visual communication between the dog and a remote client device operated by a human user. The ICCS may also facilitate training the dog to utilize the ICCS to communicate with the user, such as by answering calls from or initiating calls to the remote client device of the user. | 12-05-2013 |
| 20150068463 | PET TREAT DISPENSER SYSTEM - A method of manufacturing a dispenser system includes: providing a housing including a front side; coupling a mechanism to the front side of the housing, the mechanism including a drive system and a storage unit; and connecting a circuit to the mechanism configured to dispense a consumable product contained in the storage unit after a remote command is received by the circuit. | 03-12-2015 |
| 20150320013 | HAY FEEDER FOR LARGE SQUARE BALES - A hay feeder for large square bales (e.g., 3′×3′×8′ ones weighting on the order of 700-800 pounds). The feeder is designed to be operable by one person to load the bale into the feeder and includes an elongated chute with four, vertical side members. In use, one of the side members can be pivoted downwardly to a substantially horizontal position and the elongated hay bale positioned on it. Thereafter, it can be raised back to its vertical position to lift the hay bale with it to a vertical position within the elongated chute. The chute and bale have respective upper and lower end sections and the chute has openings at its lower end section to provide access through them to the lower end section of the hay bale. Cover members are provided to selectively cover and uncover the openings to selectively permit and prevent access through them by the livestock. | 11-12-2015 |

| 20100147223 | PORTABLE LIVESTOCK FEEDER WITH BOTTOM DUMPING AND ADJUSTABLE WIDTH TROUGHS - A portable livestock feeder has a frame supported by a plurality of wheels with a trailer hitch at one end. First and second feed troughs are positioned on each side of a longitudinal center of the frame with racks positioned above the troughs. The feed troughs are supported at their front ends by a first pair of pin members and at their rear ends by a second pair of pin members. The feed troughs are pivotable by a hydraulic mechanism about the pin members between a normal feeding position and a bottom dumping position. One of the pin members is movable between first and second stops that limit lateral movement of the feed troughs toward and away from the longitudinal center of the feeder. An adjustable cam member is arranged to engage another one of the pin members for causing the troughs to move between narrow and wide width settings. | 06-17-2010 |
