Abstract (en)
[origin: US4735344A] The objects drop into a tray (1) from which they can be removed through a dispenser opening (2), the latter being closed by a first flap (3) that gives way when one reaches therethrough. Behind this flap (3), a second flap (17) is arranged which blocks the path (14) along which the objects pass into the tray (1) once the first flap (3) has left its rest position, and maintains this path closed until the first flap (3) has returned into its rest position. For this purpose, the first flap (3) forms the driving member, and the second flap (17) forms the driven member of a lever-cam gear with a rocker mechanism (15/16). A rocker arm (16) is guided along a cam (18) in such a way that the other rocker arm (15) repels the second flap (17) during opening of the first flap until it blocks the path (14). Until then, one rocker arm (16) closes off the interspace between the lower rim (22) of the first flap (3) and the lower rim (38) of the dispenser opening (2).
