A dispenser for golf balls comprises an upper bin (1) containing the balls to be dispensed retained by means of an inclined plate (2) partially sealing the bin (1) so as to arrange in its lower portion an opening (3) for the passage of the balls. In order to avoid a significant bulk at the level of the opening (3) a second inclined plate (4) is arranged in an inverse sense to the perpendicular of the opening (3). A lower inclined ramp (5) is provided with perpendicular elements (7) defining channels (8) disposed opposite compartments (9) arranged on a rotating cylinder (10) in loading position at the extremity of the lower ramp (5). In an upper portion of the vertical elements (7) a closing plate (11) is connected in order to avoid the superposition of several layers of balls. Rotation of the cylinder (10) outputs the balls into a drain (18) responsive to the action of a crank (17) coupled to a coin receiver and to the cylinder (10). The rotation of the cylinder (10) actuates a pivotally mounted agitator maintained beneath the articulated plate (2). The agitator comprises spaced projections which extend the channels (8). |
