ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for dispensing cylindrical objects of uniform diameter, such as beverage cans, from a package holding at least two rows of the objects, with at least two objects in each row. The dispenser has a front face that defines an object-dispensing opening at its lower end. The opening is shaped to allow an object being dispensed to pass through the opening. There is a dispensing tray at the bottom of the opening and projecting outward from the front face of the dispenser. The dispensing tray is adapted to receive and hold an object dispensed from the package and through the opening. The dispenser also includes an object-repositioning structure inward of the front face and positioned to contact the front object in the second row of objects at or above its center line when the dispenser is placed over an opened end of the package. The object-repositioning structure thus inhibits the front object in the second row of objects from moving directly forward, and guides it downward, to cause it to freely dispense from the package through the object-dispensing opening. The dispenser provides for the free and easy dispensing of all of the objects from the package.
