ABSTRACT:
A housing with separate chambers into which individual quantities of animal food can be located has a cover located over the top of the chambers leaving an entrance opening via which foodstuffs can be loaded therein. A generally vertical housing front wall includes exit openings in communication with each of the internal chambers. Door panels, one for each exit opening are pivotally connected to the housing to swing from a first position closing off a chamber exit opening, to a lower position under the action of gravity leaving the exit opening unimpeded by the door panel. Latches having parts which are biased by gravity to lockingly secure a door panel are movable in a direction to release the door panels by a continuous moving closed-loop actuator.
