ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for dispensing printed products such as newspapers or periodicals from the top of a stack within a housing from which a manually rotatable knob protrudes. Two toothed detent rods are vertically mounted on the rear wall of the housing, one detent rod being fixed and the other being freely movable, and a transport plate on which the periodical stack rests is movably mounted adjacent the detent rods. A lever pivoted on one end and attached on the other by a cable operated by the knob extends under the detent rods, with the movable detent rod being positioned to rest on the lever. Two spring biased pawls are mounted on the transport plate to engage the detent rod, so that the transport plate is jacked-up as the lever moves while periodicals are dispensed. Two height regulator mechanisms, including a bolt protruding from the movable detent rod and a movable bar having an upper extended part for resting on the top of the periodical stack and a lower part extending beneath the lever, are disclosed for cooperating with the movable detent bar to regulate the distance the transport plate is raised when the periodicals are dispensed. Several pushing mechanisms for expelling the uppermost printed product through a delivery slot in the housing when the knob is operated are also disclosed.
