Abstract (en)

A dispenser, particularly for gravity-fed articles, has a mouth (102) through which the leading article of an array is urged, and restraint means(103) for restraining passage of an article unless it is pulled by a user. The restraint means (103) act to narrow the mouth but are resiliently deformable to widen it. They may involve brush members (150) which may be interchangeably mounted (154) adjacent the mouth. There is an indicator member (162) which travels forward with an array of articles until a portion (164) projects, indicating that the array is nearly exhausted. <IMAGE>
