Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018154325A1] A dispensing apparatus for dispensing gemstones from a horizontal moveable surface is provided. The apparatus comprises a wheel, which is arranged to rotate about a horizontal axis located above the surface. The wheel comprises one or more teeth disposed around an outer circumference. A motor is configured to rotate the wheel and a sensor is configured to identify when one of the teeth is located at a predetermined position so as to indicate that the wheel is in a home position. The wheel is arranged so that a gap is defined between the surface and the wheel when the wheel is in the home position. One of the teeth comes into contact with a gemstone as the wheel rotates away from the home position, and pushes the gemstone off the surface.
