Feed scoop

Abstract

A feed scoop has a container, a cylindrical tube and a cap. The container is hollow and has an open distal end. The cylindrical tube is hollow, is formed integrally with and extends perpendicular out from the container and communicates with the hollow container. The cylindrical tube has a closed distal end and a hole in the closed distal end. The cap is mounted rotatively on the distal end of the cylindrical tube and has a top and an opening in the top that selectively aligns with the hole in the cylindrical tube to dispense feed in the container. Alternatively, feed can be poured directly out of the open distal end of the container. The feed scoop can pour feed in a variety of sizes of feed containers without spilling any feed.

1 . A feed scoop comprising: 
 a hollow container having 
 an open distal end; and  
 a closed proximal end;  
   a hollow cylindrical tube extending from the hollow container and having 
 an open proximal end formed integrally with and extending perpendicular out from the closed proximal end of the container and communicating with the hollow container;  
 a distal closed end having a top;  
 an annular channel formed around the closed distal end of the cylindrical tube near the top of the distal closed end of the cylindrical tube; and  
 a hole formed in the top on the closed distal end of the cylindrical tube; and  
   a cap mounted on the distal closed end of the cylindrical tube and having 
 a proximal open end;  
 a distal closed end having a top;  
 an annular lip extending radially in from the proximal open end of the cap and slidably mounted in the annular channel in the cylindrical tube; and  
 an opening formed in the top of the distal closed end to selectively correspond to the hole in the hollow cylindrical tube.  
   
   
   
       2 . The feed scoop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the container is a parallelepiped.  
   
   
       3 . The feed scoop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the open distal end of the container is inclined relative to the closed proximal end.  
   
   
       4 . The feed scoop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hole of the cylindrical tube is semicircular and the opening of the cap is semicircular.  
   
   
       5 . The feed scoop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical tube further have multiple annular ribs extend radially out from the closed distal end of the cylindrical tube adjacent to the annular channel toward the open proximal end of the cylindrical tube.
