ABSTRACT:
An automatic drinking straw dispensing device to be mounted within a vending machine and dispense a drinking straw in a generally horizontal configuration, the device including a primary receptacle structured to contain a plurality of the drinking straws therein for individual dispensing through a generally elongate slot formed at a bottom of the primary receptacle. The dispensing device further includes a dispensing platform positioned in dispensing communication with the elongate slot such that the drinking straws which pass through the elongate slot are directed onto the dispensing platform and are retained in an accessible, retrievable orientation. Also, in order to prevent more than one of the drinking straws from backing up on the dispensing platform and in order to ensure that a fresh one of the drinking straws is always available for retrieval, the automatic drinking straw dispensing device is equipped to remove the dispensed one of the drinking straws from the dispensing platform into a recycling bin if it is not retrieved after a predetermined period of time.
