ABSTRACT:
An apparatus adapted to receive, orient, and store a plurality of visible markers and to dispense said markers individually in a predetermined location under the control of a user. In one form, the apparatus comprises an upper portion having an enlarged, marker-receiving open end and sidewalls tapering downwardly therefrom, and a body joined to said sidewalls of said upper portion. The body portion is cylindrical and includes a marker inlet opening, a marker dispensing opening and a main body portion between the openings. A plurality of chips or markers are stacked in the body, and a reduced diameter rib or spring disposed within the body portion engages and supports the lowermost marker in the stack of markers. The lower part of the body deflects radially outwardly in response to an axial force to permit passage of a marker past the support and through said discharge opening, permitting an individual marker to be dispensed each time an axial force is applied to the support. The cylindrical body preferably includes axial expansion slots and finger-receiving slots, and in one form, a rotatable slotted transparent cylinder surrounds the body.
