Abstract (en)
The disclosure relates to an apparatus for dispensing a number of substantially spherical objects (4), for example golf balls, the apparatus including a magazine for the spherical objects (4), the floor of the magazine sloping in relation to the horizontal plane and displaying a number of members (1, 2, 3) extending in the direction of slope and being in parallel with one another, the members forming therebetween a number of paths for a plurality of mutually subsequent objects (4), the paths discharging in a pivotal portion (14) which extends along the edge formed by the lower ends of the members (1, 2, 3) and which is in the form of a channel-shaped beam whose channel is turnable towards the spherical objects on the paths for receiving the spherical objects, and the pivotal shaft (15) of the beam (14) being located in such relation to the ends of the mutually parallel members forming the paths for the objects that, on replenishment pivoting of the beam (14) for turning the channel of the beam (14) towards the spherical objects and receiving the spherical objects, the upper shank of the beam comes into contact with the most proximally located objects (4) and urges these upwardly along the paths before they are released into the channel turned to face them.
