Patent attributes
The sliding feed door for horse trailer is a door panel having lower and upper ends and a window. The feed door has a latching handle to secure the door in open and closed positions. Door hinges are pivotally attached to the upper sides of the feed door. A spring torsion assembly, including a torsion axle, is disposed horizontally along an upper inside trailer wall. Spools having spooled cables are attached to the torsion axle near either end. Free ends of the cables are attached to the feed door hinges. Two guide tracks are spaced apart and vertically disposed within the trailer wall. Two guide wheels are rotatably attached to the feed door hinges and adapted to being vertically slidable in the guide tracks so that spring torsion applied through the cables slides the door into a normally closed position over an opening in the trailer wall.
