<p>A dispenser has an inner rotating drum having through passages therein. The passages receive articles therein from a supply of articles loosely contained inside the inner drum. The inner drum has an outer generally cylindrical periphery concentrically spaced within a stationery, generally cylindrical, recess in a stationary outer member. A slot at the bottom of the outer member permits release of articles from the passages. A stationary blocking member overlies the bores at a location above a lower portion of the inner drum, and generally over the slot. The blocking member is disposed closely adjacent the inner drum so as to prevent entry of additional articles into each bore when the bore is in communication with the slot. Thus, only an amount of articles sufficient to fill a bore are dispensed from the bore when the bore direclty overlies the slot. A stationary front wall prevents loss of articles from the inner drum, in cooperation with a rotating rear wall which supports the inner drum.</p> |
