Abstract:
A gravity feeder with a weighted ball includes a hopper having a conical configuration that may be hung from a tree branch. The hopper includes a funnel shaped configuration and defines an open top into which granular feed may be deposited into an interior area of the hopper. A plurality of tubular distribution sections extends from a mouth of the hopper to near the ground for depositing the feed thereon. The gravity feeder includes a heavy spherical ball situated atop the feed in the hopper that pushes the feed downward into the conduit and, in fact, can descend into the distribution sections to ensure the feed is completely deposited.

Claim (Index 11):
The gravity feeder apparatus as in  claim 9 , wherein:\n said rim has an open top; said mouth has an open bottom; said rim has a diameter that is larger than a diameter of said mouth such that said continuous side wall has a conical configuration.
