AI Technical Summary
Existing fish feeding methods in stagnant waters are imprecise, leading to excessive feed distribution in one area and inefficient use of resources.
A supplementary feeding device with a spring-loaded tensioning mechanism and a spreading container, controlled remotely via GPS or triggers, disperses feed over a larger area using centrifugal force.
Enables precise and efficient distribution of fish feed over a wider area, reducing waste and improving resource utilization.

Abstract
Description
Field of the invention The invention relates to a supplementary feeding device for use in fishing not only in stagnant waters in automatic or semi-automatic mode. Background of the invention Currently, various techniques are used to feed fish in stagnant waters. The most widespread feeding technique is tossing feed by hand or by using different levers, the ends of which are shaped like a ladle or ladle or spoon. Slingshots or rubber guns are also used for more accurate aiming and longer feed range. Another system of feeding is to export the feed to the water in the vessel and dump it from a bag or bucket to the appropriate place. The mentioned feeding techniques have a number of disadvantages, such as an imprecise feeding place, too much feed in one place, too much area fed and thus a large amount of feed. Summary of the invention The shortcomings mentioned in the prior art are eliminated by the invention defined in the claims for the protection of this utility model, the essence of which is that the feeding device is carried on the water by an automatic or semi-automatic vessel with an opening bottom with remote control- loading boat containing a mechanical, electronic or electromagnetic trigger. A feeding device is inserted into the space of the vessel, which includes a spring-loaded tensioning mechanism with a tensioning wheel on top and a release lever on the bottom. On the axis of the spring mechanism there is a gear wheel, which is connected by a gear to a gear wheel, the axis of which is connected to the spreading container with feed. The spreading container has the shape of an inverted cone with at least two protrusions. The transmission connecting the gear wheel of the spring mechanism and the gear wheel of the spreading container can be belt, chain or solved as a transmission with gear wheels. A feeding device with feed in a spreading container is placed on the vessel, which has an openable bottom and can be controlled remotely. The release lever of the spring mechanism rests against the openable bottom of the vessel and secures the spring mechanism. Hie spring mechanism is stretched by the tensioning wheel and the vessel is transported remotely in the place of supplementary feeding, for example, using GPS coordinates. At the moment of reaching the desired location, the bottom of the vessel is opened automatically due to the specified position or with a remote control by means of a mechanical, electronic or electromagnetic trigger and thus release lever of the spring mechanism is released and the gear rotates, which through the gear rotates the spreading container. The feed is then spread over the required water surface by centrifugal force. Spreading container protrusions help the feed to get out of the container when it is spun and to reach a greater distance. Overview of drawings Figure no. 1 shows a feeding device with a secured spring mechanism lever. Figure no. 2 shows the feeding device with the lever of the spring mechanism released. Figure no. 3 shows the feeding device in the vessel. Figure no. 4 shows the feeding device in a view from the top. Figure no. 5 shows sectional view of the feeding device. Figure no. 6 shows the feeding device with gear and belt transmission. Figure no. 7 shows the feeding device in a top view without the tensioning wheel with an illustration of the spring mechanism. Examples of embodiments The feeding device is carried on the water by vessel 1 with an opening bottom. A feeding device is inserted into the space of the vessel 1. which includes a spring-loaded tensioning mechanism 2 with a tensioning wheel 3 on top and a release lever 4 on the bottom. On the axis of the spring mechanism 2 there is a gear wheel, which is connected by a gear to a gear wheel, the axis of which is connected to the spreading container 5 with feed. The spreading container 5 has the shape of an inverted cone with at least two protrusions 6. The transmission connecting the gear wheel of the spring mechanism 2 and the gear wheel of the spreading container 5 can be belt, chain or solved as a transmission with gear wheels. A feeding device with feed in a spreading container 5 is placed on the vessel 1, which has an openable bottom and can be controlled remotely. The release lever 4 of the spring mechanism 2 rests against the openable bottom of the vessel 1 and secures the spring mechanism 2. The spring mechanism 2 is stretched by the tensioning wheel 3 and the vessel 1 is transported remotely in the place of supplemental^ feeding, for example, using GPS coordinates. At the moment of reaching the desired location, the bottom of the vessel 1 is opened automatically due to the specified position or with a remote control by means of a mechanical, electronic or electromagnetic trigger and thus release lever 4 of the spring mechanism 2 is released and the gear rotates, which through the gear rotates the spreading container 5. The feed is then spread over the required water surface by centrifugal force. Spreading container protrusions 6 help the feed to get out of the spreading container 5 when it is spun and to reach a greater distance.
