PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feeder that can be secured in the state of easily feeding a rearing animal even in a zero-gravity space and that hardly gets out of order while easily achieving cost reduction and miniaturization.SOLUTION: A feeder includes: a storage container for housing food a feeding port for discharging the food to the outside an elastic body that is provided within the storage container and that pushes the food toward the feeding port and a stopper that is fixed to the storage container in such a manner as to cover a part of the feeding port and that suppresses discharge of the food while exposing the food from the feeding port.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】無重力空間においても飼育動物が餌を食べやすい状態に確保することができ、コスト低減及び小型化を容易に図りつつ故障が発生しにくい給餌器を提供すること。【解決手段】餌を収納する収納容器と、前記餌を外部に排出するための給餌口と、前記収納容器内に設置され、前記餌を前記給餌口に向けて押圧する弾性体と、前記給餌口の一部を覆うように前記収納容器に固定され、前記餌を前記給餌口から露出させつつ前記餌の排出を抑制するストッパと、を有すること。【選択図】図5
