Patent ID: 7631613

Claim:
A device for dispensing dry food in the form of pellets or cubes to animals which roll it on the ground, characterised in that it comprises a central part ( 1 ) consisting of two horizontal cylinders nested one inside the other, of the same length, free of each other, in mutual contact throughout their area, an inner cylinder ( 2 ) containing the pellets to be distributed, the other outer cylinder ( 3 ), both provided on the surface with holes ( 4 ) in a different number, and identical diameter, carefully positioned to be superimposed in a desired number thanks to an adjustment obtained by manual rotation of the outer cylinder around the inner cylinder, thereby forming channels enabling the pellets inside the inner cylinder to flow to the outside of the central part, which further comprises at the ends of the central part two wheels ( 7 ) which are fixed to the ends of the inner cylinder by exerting pressure on the ends of the outer cylinder in order to secure it to the inner cylinder so as to maintain the channels as previously adjusted.
