Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a feeding system. The feeding system includes a housing that substantially forms an exterior surface of the feeding system, inside the housing includes an arm configured to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to a plurality of positions, wherein the arm is configured to support a can; a can opener at a first position of the plurality of positions; and an opening of the housing at a second position of the plurality of positions. A sealed-can barrel is situated to receive and store a stack of sealed cans within the housing, and a cam-operated latch device is provided to release a bottommost can of the stack onto the arm. In timed operations, a cam-operated retainer device is configured to hold a plurality of sealed cans of the stack above the bottommost sealed can while the bottommost sealed can is being released onto the arm.

Abstract: An automated can opener for opening sealed cans in a pet feeding system enables gripping of a sealed can between gripping components using cam actuated components responsive to rotation of a gear in a first direction and further enables insertion of a cutting blade in the can sidewall and continuous gripping, rotating and cutting of the can while rotating the gear in the first direction. The automated can opener exerts consistent pressure on the cutting blade during the cutting operation and further enables withdrawal of a cutting blade from the can and a release of the can from the gripping component using the cam operated components responsive to rotation of the gear in a second direction. The pet feeding system includes a housing including an arm configured to support a can to be opened and positioning of the can to the automated can opener for opening thereat.
