Appl. No.:

8/117827

Inventors:

International Classification:

E05D 1526

US Classification:

Abstract:

A security and hurricane shutter of greater strength and stability than available shutters using blades which are longitudinally pivoted to each other. The angle between adjacent blades is adjustable to provide for greater strength and stability at smaller angles, i. e. , more blades per linear foot of the shutter, at smaller angles, and larger angles using fewer blades per linear foot for shutters, such as smaller width shutters which would require fewer blades per linear foot. The shutter can use either pulleys or direct mechanical drive mechanisms. The pulley systems or direct mechanical drive mechanisms can be powered by an installed electrical motor, a portable motor, or a hand crank for shutters of smaller size or to back up the installed electrical motor in case of power failure or motor failure.

Abstract:

An animal feeding and protective device comprising a housing with side walls enclosing a space adapted to receive a feeding dish for an animal. There is an access opening in one of the side walls so that the animal can reach the feeding dish. The side walls are preferably inclined at an acute angle for reception of a food dispenser which also has inclined sides, with the food dispenser being supported along the upper edge of the device. A lid is provided to prevent unauthorized access by an unauthorized animal. The preferred version of the invention is for use by a cat, although the invention clearly can be used by other small animals, effectively to prevent the taking of food by larger animals to the deprivation of the small animal.
