<p>A cheese dispenser is provided with a compartment (12) having closed ends (15), top (18), bottom (17), and sidewalls (13,14) and open front end (16). An enlarged disc drives a flexible cover (46) which can, by rotation of the disc, cause the cover (46) to hermetically seal the open front end (16) of the dispenser of the compartment or open the front end (16) of the compartment. The disc also operates through a gear reduction unit to drive a pusher (22) simultaneously with the opening of the flexible cover (46) or door. Thus by rotating the disc, the door (46) is open simultaneously with advancement of the cheese out of the open end. A slicer mechanism (28) is provided on the open end to slice desired thicknesses of the cheese.</p> |
