ABSTRACT:
A modular, feeder system comprises a master module and at least one slave module adapted to be coupled together in tandem. Each of the modules comprises a food container within a housing, with a lid on the housing being spring biased open but maintained normally closed by a latch. The latch is tripped by a trip collar carried by a shaft extending through the housing. An end of each shaft is adapted to be longitudinally coupled to the shaft of an adjacent module. Only the master module contains a timing device coupled to its shaft and mounted to its housing. The shafts of the master and slave modules are longitudinally coupled to each other to cause the lids to open in succession and in time relationship to each other.
