The dispenser 1 comprises a turntable 3 rotatably mounted on a base 2 provided with a drive means comprising a gear wheel 21 secured to the turntable 3, a reciprocally displacable link 23 having a drive claw member 28 drivingly engageable with the gear- wheel 21 during a drive stroke and disengageable during a return stroke, and a reciprocating drive remote from said drive claw 29. The reciprocating drive comprises a pulse-mode drive means periodically providing a forward pulse-form drive stroke. A fixed side wall 6 extends around the turntable 3 for substantially retaining food on the turntable 3, except at an outlet 11 in the said wall 6, a defector 13 mounted in substantially fixed relation with respect to the side wall 6 extending generally outwardly in close proximity to the upper surface of the turntable 3 for deflecting food towards the outlet 11 during rotation of the turntable 3. <IMAGE> |
