A card dispenser can include a planar sleeve, an actuator, and a lifter assembly. More specifically, the planar sleeve can be shaped to receive a plurality of cards within a card chamber. A dispense opening within the planar sleeve can be shaped to pass the plurality of cards edgewise. The actuator can extend along an edge of the planar sleeve. The actuator can be pivotable about an actuator pivot located between a retaining end and an actuation end of the actuator. The actuator pivots from a retaining position to a dispense position. The retaining position orients a card contact surface of the retaining end against the plurality of cards to prevent removal of the plurality of cards. The lifter assembly can be associated with the actuation end and can be oriented adjacent a bottom edge of the card chamber. The lifter assembly can be adapted to apply force to at least one of the plurality of cards, upon movement of the actuator to the dispense position, sufficient to dispense at least one of the plurality of cards from the dispense opening. |
