Patent ID: 7543548

Claim:
A game feeder, comprising: a container having a container interior divided into a well positioned between first front bins and first rear bins, where the container includes a container bottom and where each bin includes a gate connected to the container bottom through a hinge such that the gate seals a bottom of the bin when closed and unseals the bottom of the bin when the gate is rotated about the hinge to a position that is remote from the container bottom; latches attached to the container within the well, where there is one latch for each gate, where each latch is configured to retain the gate in a closed position and configured to rotate away from the gate to permit the gate to open; cables attached to each latch within the well; trip dogs attached to each cable within the well; and a tripper positioned within the well, where the tripper is configured to move automatically past each bin to engage each trip dog such that, on engaging a trip dog associated with a bin, the tripper causes that trip dog to pull on the cable connected to that trip dog, where pulling on that cable causes the latch connected to that cable to move far enough away from the gates so that a previously closed gate associated with that bin opens.
