(57) The dispenser has a base 10, to which a disposable plastics container 12 charged
with peanuts is fitted by engagement of screw threads on a wall 20 the base and a
skirt 30 of the container. The base houses a coin-freed mechanism allowing a quality
of peanuts to be dispensed through an outlet 14 by operation of a lever 16. Prior
to fitting of the container to the base, the lower end of the container is protected
by a cap which is removed to expose a foil closure which is broken by knife-edges
24, 26 on the base when the container is fitted thereto. Peanuts can thus flow from
the container to the base, to be dispensed through the outlet 14.
