A dispenser comprises: a tube 10, a threaded shaft 40 and a piston 70. The piston engages with the threads of the shaft which rotates relative to the tube to move the piston axially and move items 50 towards the tubes opening. The each item can be dispensed by a single rotation of the shaft, a fraction thereof, or less. Ideally the items are annular sweets 50 through which the threaded shaft 40 passes. Preferably the piston is prevented from rotating with the shaft by longitudinal cooperating fins and rails projecting in from the tube. The items could be retained in the tube by grips 90. The shaft may be provided with an integral or separable knob 30 shaped like the items being dispensed to rotate it. The tube could be airtight sealed by lid 20 which engages the shaft. There may be a transparent or translucent region of the tube for determining the fill level. The device can function in a similar manner to a glue stick. There is a special loader to move grips 90 aside. |
