ABSTRACT:
This relates to a series of cooperating mechanisms which be individually actuated. Specifically, the mechanisms include a first mechanism for engaging a tubular member, such as a straw, and removing the same from a dispensing unit. The tubular member may then be engaged by a second mechanism which will move it into a desired release position, such as within a pouch. A second mechanism may be utilized individually and includes a crank arm which carries a transfer unit which pivots relative to the crank arm and which includes a support blade having associated therewith jaw members. The two mechanisms are preferably driven by cams carried by a common drive shaft and wherein at least two of the cams have associated therewith return springs. The operation of the two mechanisms, when utilized in unison, is such that one spring counterbalances the other. There is also provided a dispensing unit for dispensing tubular members, one at a time, at a fixed position. The tubular members may be lightweight elements, such as straws.
