<p>Objects such as cans (10) are dispensed from a stack of objects held in a housing (12) by a delivery apparatus including a retaining bar (16) movable about a pivot axis (20). The retaining bar (16) is carried by a pair of pivot arms, one of which (18) is engageable by a pair of latches (22) in either of two rest positions. The latch (22a) currently in use can be released by an actuating mechanism including a pull arm (32), causing the lowermost can (10) to pivot the retaining bar (16) until locked by the other latch (22b), thus releasing the lowermost can (10) and retaining the next succeeding can (10).</p> |
