<p>An improved arrangement for a lottery ticket (12) or other article dispenser system (10) includes a direct drive coupled to a drive mechanism (64) such as a motor and feed (18, 20) and discharge (22, 24) rollers. The feed and discharge rollers (18, 20, 22, 24) transport a stream of articles such as lottery tickets (12) which are serially joined together along lines of weakness (16) such as perforations or the like. Coupling the feed and discharge rollers (18, 20, 22, 24) to the common drive mechanism (64) reduces and minimizes the need for calibration and setup for the operation of the dispenser system (10). Additional features of the invention include a rack (32) and spur gear (50) arrangement for movement of the burster wheel (26) across the path of the tickets (12) and platens (90, 92, 94) arranged and configured in the burster system to improve the bursting quality and operation.</p> |
