Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017174992A1] The present invention relates to a cup dispensing mechanism, and to a carousel-type cup dispenser incorporating such a mechanism. The cup dispensing mechanism is suitable for dispensing cups from a nested cup stack and comprises a ring and a splitting mechanism for splitting off an individual cup from the base of the stack, wherein the ring is rotatable from a first position to a second position to drive the splitting mechanism and at least initiate the splitting of a cup from the base of the stack, and is characterised in that the dispensing mechanism further comprises a means for preventing free rotation of the ring from the first position in the direction of the second position.
