Abstract:

An automatic animal feeder includes a housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and a peripheral wall having an opening therein. A plurality of food delivery assemblies is positioned in the opening. Each of the food delivery assemblies includes a food drawer slidably positioned in the opening. The drawer is selectively extended inwardly or outwardly of the housing when a rod threadably coupled thereto is rotated. A motor is mechanically coupled to the driving rod. A processor is mounted in the housing and is electrically coupled to each of the food delivery assemblies for selectively turning on the motors. A first time control is electrically coupled to the processor for selectively inputting a time and date when each of a selected one of the food trays will be extended outwardly from the housing. A cooling assembly is mounted in the housing for selectively cooling an interior of the housing.

Abstract:

An insert for a bicycle has a central portion and a contiguous outer portion to form a unitary elongated body, the body being dimensionable by reference to major and minor datum lines, the outer portion forming a flange. The body includes a first outer surface defined by the central portion, and a second opposing outer surface defined by the central portion and the outer portion. The central portion includes a through-hole that extends perpendicularly through the body from the first outer surface to the second outer surface, wherein the hole defines a hole axis. The central portion has a non-circular outer profile that encloses the hole axis, and the flange has a non-circular outer profile that encloses the hole axis, the outer profile of the flange being larger than the outer profile of the central portion. The hole is disposed asymmetric with respect to the minor datum line.
