ABSTRACT:
The ticket dispenser is usable to dispense a wide variety of tickets, but is particularly beneficial in dispensing lottery tickets, and other tickets stored in panels in fan-folded stacks. The leading edge of the ticket panel is thrust against a curved guide which serves as a barrier. This causes the lead ticket to bend along a perforation line and be thrust out of the outlet of the ticket dispenser at an angle to the rest of the panel. The rest of the panel is held firmly, and the ticket easily can be torn free on the perforated line along which the panel is bent. A swinging gate is provided for closing the outlet opening and swinging away to permit bending of the ticket panel, and pushing and/or guiding the ticket through the outlet opening. The dispenser is fast, simple, compact and accurate, and does not cut tickets in half, and yet does not permit strips of tickets to be pulled out of the machine by the user who has not paid for them. A ticket vending machine is formed when one or more dispensers are combined with a bill acceptor. The vending machine will dispense a wide variety of tickets from a single unit.
