Description

DESCRIPTION

ANIMAL DRINKER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a drinking trough for animals, fundamentally thought for birds but usable by other animals such as rodents and all kinds of pets, which has built-in means to function as a medicinal drinking trough to avoid contagion between animals when medicating them, and that it also preserves the medicine in better conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Drinking troughs for animals, particularly for poultry, are currently known, comprising a lower open bottle, and a lower lid with an individual tray-shaped nozzle, where one animal drinks at a time. They are ideal as medicinal drinkers because they only drink one animal at a time, minimizing the contagion from drinking, but they have the drawback that the medicine is applied when the drinker is filled, so any animal that drinks from the drinker will consume the medication, often without necessity. In addition, animals, especially birds, bathe in the water dispensing tray, wasting the medicine or contaminating it, with the result that we do not guarantee that the animal that needs to consume the medicine does so in the conditions of conservation and cleaning. adequate, and we are even supplying it to other animals unnecessarily.

This drawback is solved with the drinker of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The drinking trough for animals of the invention is of the type comprising a bottom open bottle, and a bottom cap with a nozzle in the form of an individual tray where one drink each time, which according to the invention, in its simplest embodiment and elemental comprises a dropper, the outlet of whose pipette is arranged inside from the bottle or the nozzle; the dropper knob being arranged on the outside of the drinker.

In this way, when it is appreciated that the sick animal in question is going to drink, the medicine can be dispensed in the water by pressing the dropper knob, preventing other animals from drinking thanks to the individual tray, and also preventing the medicine from being wasted if any animal bathes.

Needless to say, in case you do not need to dispense any medicine, the drinker can be used as a normal drinker, simply by not putting any medicine in the dropper.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The medicinal drinker (1) for animals of the invention is of the type that includes a bottle (2) open at the bottom, and a lower lid (3) with a mouthpiece (4) in the form of an individual tray where the animals drink, which according to with the invention it comprises a dropper (5) (see fig 2), the outlet (6) of whose pipette (7) is arranged inside the bottle (2) (see fig 1) or the nozzle (4) ; the dropper knob (8) being arranged on the outside of the sprue (1).

It is particularly preferred that the dropper (5) is mounted on the cap (3) and directed upwards through the interior of the bottle (2); the dripper knob (8) being arranged on the lower outer part of the cover (3), as seen in fig 1. This facilitates handling, reduces the size of the assembly, allows the use of commercial drippers simply drilling the lower cap -or molding it in manufacturing with a hole to place the dropper (5) -which can also be done during manufacturing-, and also allows the pipette (7) to be loaded with medicine without coming into contact with the Water, simply by ensuring that the water level (10) is below the outlet (6) of the pipette (7). Therefore, it is preferred that said outlet (6) of the pipette (7) of the dropper (5) is arranged in at least the upper inner third (20) of the bottle (2), since this is how it is best used. the capacity of both the dropper (5) and the bottle (2).

Furthermore, it is preferred that the bottle (2) is materialized in opa material to avoid the entrance of light and to better preserve the medicine loaded in the pipette, ideally then providing a level display window (21), which will ideally also comprise a measurement rule (22), that if it is graduated in drops or milliliters of medicine per level will facilitate the estimation of medicine (the dosage) that must be released into the existing water. In addition, it is preferred that the bottle (2) is made of aluminum, since it is an opaque, sterile and resistant material to corrosion and UV deterioration of sunlight.

Finally, indicate that it is preferred that the bottle (2) has dimensions of 15 cm high and 2 cm in diameter (about 50 cc capacity).

Once the nature of the invention has been described, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions previously indicated and represented in the attached drawings are subject to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
